American Sporting Slots at Microgaming Online Casinos

Added: April 18, 2018

Microgaming online casinos like Royal Vegas and Jackpot City today do not accept players from the United States because of legal issues. However, they offer some exciting online slot games in their portfolio based on typically American sports. Whether or not you follow basketball or ice hockey, you will enjoy wagering on these slot machines.

The ice hockey themed video slot is titled Break Away. The title does not refer to any aspect of the sport but to a new feature introduced by Microgaming in the slot machine. With detailed graphics and action packed animations Break Away captures the energy of this fast paced sport. The high paying symbols are ice hockey players and the referee. The low paying symbols include hockey rink, mask, skates and ice maker. After the payouts are awarded, the symbols that appear in winning combinations freeze and break away. New symbols take their place and if winning combinations are formed again the process repeats itself. The game logo is the wild symbol that can appear stacked on reels 3, 4 and 5. In the randomly triggered Smashing Wild feature, two ice hockey players may crash into each other turning one of the middle three reels into wild for that spin. A payout is guaranteed during the Smashing Wild feature.

The flaming puck is the scatter symbol. Three or more of these symbols award payouts multiplied by the total bet and up to 25 free spins. Consecutive wins in the same free spin are paid out with increasing multipliers in the sequence 1x, 2x, 3x, 4x, 5x and 10x. The free spins cannot be retriggered.

Basketball Star uses the same slots engine as Break Away, but the graphics are from the sport of basketball. The high paying symbols are basketball players executing the various moves like slam dunk. The low paying symbols are gold medal, sneakers, energy drink and basketball court. The game logo is the wild symbol and the basketball is the scatter symbol. The Smashing Wild feature from Break away has been renamed Wild Shot feature, but it works in exactly the same way.

Both these online slots have the 243 ways to win structure and will therefore have low variance. The largest line payout is only 500 coins but the payouts will occur more frequently. You can wager a maximum of 10 coins per payline with the maximum coin size of $0.10. The maximum line bet works out to $1. The total bet is the line bet multiplied by 50, which should be acceptable given the features offered.
