Microgaming Rugby Star Online Slot Goes Live

Added: September 11, 2015

The 2015 Rugby World Cup begins on September 18. 20 national teams will compete for the biggest honour in the sport and the winner will remain world champion for the next four years. The leading online casino software provider Microgaming has given rugby fans something to do while following the fortunes of their teams. They can wager on the just released online video slot Rugby Star. The reels are set a rugby field. The high paying symbols are five rugby players wearing their national jerseys. If you happen to be from one of these countries you will enjoy the game a wee bit more. You will see plenty of rugby action on the reels during the win animations, with sprinting, tackling and passing. The low paying symbols are the cup, the stadium, the helmet and the boots.

Microgaming has incorporated its popular Rolling Reels feature in Rugby Star. After the winning combinations are paid, the symbols in these combinations disappear and are replaced by others. If fresh winning combinations are formed then you get paid out again and the process repeats. You do not place additional wagers for the replacements. Rugby Star online slot has a bonus feature called Wild Pass. This feature can trigger randomly in any spin. Up to two reels from reels 2, 3 and 4 will get turned completely wild and you will be assured of a payout.

As expected the wild symbol and the scatter symbol play an important role. The wild symbol is the Rugby Star logo and it appears stacked on reels 3, 4 and 5. The rugby ball is the scatter symbol. It awards scatter payouts and triggers the free spins bonus round in which you can win up to 25 free spins. The Rolling Reels feature is made even better. Consecutive wins in the same spin are paid out with increasing multipliers starting from 1x and going up to 10x. Whenever there is no win the multiplier is reset to 1x. The free spins cannot be retriggered.

Rugby Star video slot has the Microgaming 243 ways to win configuration. The line bet varies from $0.10 to $5.00. The total bet is 50 times the line bet. There are Microgaming 243 ways slots in which the total bet is only 30 times the line bet. But Rugby Star is rich in features and the additional wager is worth it. Rugby Star can be played at all Microgaming online casinos like Royal Vegas and All Slots. You will recall that a similar slot game Cricket Star was released on the occasion of the Cricket World Cup.
