Some of the oldest sports themed slot machines from Microgaming include titles such as Roller Derby (5 reels and 25 paylines), Hot Shot (5 reels and 9 paylines), Rapid Reels (3 reels and 5 paylines), Sure Win (5 reels and 25 paylines) and Centre Court (5 reels and 9 paylines), the latter of which arrived in casinos in 2009.
In 2012, Microgaming launched a new action & feature packed sports themed slot with 5 reels and 243 ways to win (per spin) called Break Away. This slot is based on Ice Hockey and the Stacked Wild Symbols mean that up to 40 Wild Symbols can appear on the reels at any one time. When this happens the payout will be massive.
This game also has Rolling Reels™ which can trigger more than one line win from just one paid spin. You can also win big thanks to the Smashing Wilds™ Feature. When this special feature triggers, Hockey Players randomly crash into reels, 2, 3 or 4 (any of the centre reels) turning a reel into a completely Wild Reel with a guaranteed win. The Rolling Reels Feature is NOT active during the Smashing Wild™ Feature.
15, 20 or 25 Free Spins can also trigger when three or more of the Hockey Puck Scatter Symbols show up anywhere in view. Rolling Reels and up to a maximum 10X Prize Multiplier can help generate huge line wins during this Free Spins Bonus Round. There is also a new series of sports themed slots from Microgaming, the first of which was a game called Football Star (5 reels and 243 ways to win). This one arrived in casinos back in May 2014.
The next slot to appear in this same series was Cricket Star. This one first arrived in casinos in February 2015 and then in September 2015, Microgaming launched Rugby Star. In November 2015, you will also be able to play on another sports themed slot in this same series. This currently unreleased slot is called Basketball Star and all of these games have 5 reels and 243 ways to win per spin. In fact, by the time you are reading these words, the new Basketball Star should have already arrived.
These games are great to play on all year round and they are all available in the real money mode and in the free play demo mode. The other thing that all of these Microgaming slots have in common is that they can either be launched instantly in your web browser or from within the Microgaming download client. Some of these exciting sports themed slots are also now available on mobile. You can check these games out right now at Roxy Palace Casino, Betway Casino or 32Red Casino, plus you can also find a few of these titles at Mr Green Casino.
