The stadium is noisy as the best basketball players enter the field of play and you are among them! It's time to start the match. In front of you, you will see a large playing field 6x6, which is located against the backdrop of a huge stadium packed with fans. A basket hangs to the left of the reels, and to the right you will see buttons that will allow you to change the pace of the game, turn on autoplay, read the rules and change the bet.

The premium symbols are player number 8, a player in the yellow jersey, player 8 and 11, and player 9 and 3. The low-paying icons are a gold medal, sneakers, drinks, and a basketball-playing field. The logo of the game is the Free Spins symbol and the ‘Wild’ symbol is the Wild Shot symbol.

Overall Rating

8.6

We don't like most of the sports-themed slots on the market. Often they have common bonus features and outdated designs. Fortunately, this does not apply to Basketball Star Wilds. It seems like Microgaming is a big fan of basketball as they perfectly capture the atmosphere of a basketball match.

The design is top-notch and we love the number of bonus features you get here. The chance to win up to 5,044x the bet is also impressive, so we can recommend this game to both casual players and experienced players, who are looking for big prizes!

Hits
