Free slot: Basketball Star on Fire

How Basketball Star on Fire works

Basketball Star on Fire is a slot machine developed and published by the online gaming provider Microgaming. It has been available at most online casinos since February 26, 2020. 6 years after the release of Basketball Star, the provider with the huge catalog offers us a sequel to this popular creation. Basketball Star on Fire offers high volatility, with a payout ratio to the player of 96.12%. And its maximum winning potential is up to 2,500 times the starting bet.

As with the first version of this basketball game, the grid format remains classic, with 5 reels of 3 rows. In addition to the free spins bonus, Basketball Star on Fire has a spin bonus that can trigger the Jackpot. Getting at least 6 coins in a single spin triggers the Hyper Hold feature. The coins stay in their slots and the other slots are cleared. During the feature you will only see coins appear, they have a value or jackpot ranging from x1 to x100 for the Mega coin. Each spin that reveals a coin resets the respin counter to 3. When 3 spins are completed without a coin appearing or when the grid is completely filled, the function stops. In the latter case, the Grand x1,000 jackpot is triggered.

The different symbols of Basketball Star on Fire.

In addition to the Scatter, Wild and Coins, there are 9 symbols in the Basketball Star on Fire slot. The symbols pay out differently depending on their level of rarity. Below you will find the value of each symbol for a bet of €1:

• Whistle, Board, Drinks, Shoes and Medal are the low value symbols.

The different connections in Basketball Star on Fire

Basketball Star on Fire has a lot of connections. In fact, there are 25 paylines, which you can see in the image below. Whether it's lines, diagonals, or simple touches, there are many ways to win. You need to line up at least 3 symbols from left to right to get a win.

How the Basketball Star on Fire Bonus works

In addition to the Hyper Hold feature, Basketball Star on Fire features a free spins bonus. 3, 4 and 5 Scatter symbols on a single spin trigger 10, 15 and 25 free spins respectively. One symbol appears during the bonus: the Wild Coin. The last reel will always be filled with Wild Coins during the bonus. In addition to making connections easier, they have the same characteristics as the basic coins. During the free spins bonus, the Hyper Hold feature can be triggered. And since 3 coins already occupy the 5th reel, you will only need to get at least 3 more coins on the rest of the grid to get the re-spins. As is often the case, getting 3 or 4 Scatters allows you to re-trigger and therefore get 10 extra free spins during the Basketball Star on Fire bonus.

Our opinion on Basketball Star on Fire

Much more than a simple copy of the first version, Basketball Star on Fire offers real changes in the gameplay. All this while keeping the universe, the visuals and even the symbols of its ancestor. The Hyper Hold respin feature adds a real plus, both in base game and during the bonus. The volatility is high and the theme is original. All in all, Basketball Star on Fire is a very fun machine to play, which is already appealing to many online casino streamers. All you have to do is try your luck, maybe a career in the NBA is impossible, but not a jackpot of 2,500 times your bet!
