Strategy and Tips

Trigger up to 25 Free Spins in the base game by slam dunking 3 or more scatters. The more that players win during Rolling Reels™, the more they will be rewarded, as the multiplier can shoot up to an amazing 10x on the Multiplier Trail.

Players can access the Rolling Reels™ function in both the base game and during the Free Spins phase. During this phase, all winning symbols will explode and the symbols above will roll down into play, thus bringing some serious winning potential into play.

Any wins scored from a roll in Rolling Reels™ will also explode, offering the potential for multiple rolls and multiple wins, all on a single spin.

When the Wild Shot feature is triggered during the Rolling Reels™ phase, entire Reels could explode and new symbols will drop down for players, thereby giving them an entirely new chance to win. This way you can get up to 4 reels turning Wild with guaranteed wins.

Basketball Star launched simultaneously on desktop and mobile in November 2015, and you will agree that the HTML5 version looks and plays wonderfully on both tablet and smartphone devices.

Sleek graphics and colourful game icons make for an exciting gaming experience, whereas all those bonus rounds and extra features add to the general appeal, especially with potential 1,200,000-coin payout heading your way.
