Cricket Star is a 5-reel no-payline video slot delivered by Microgaming. The software developer has eschewed the traditional payline structure where combos are created along a number of predetermined paylines. Instead, Cricket Star features a 243-ways-to-win configuration that enables the gamer to receive payouts for hitting three or more identical symbols on neighboring reels, beginning with the utmost left reel, and this can produce very big wins. The minimum and maximum bets to place in the slot are $0.5 and $50 per spin.

The game has the Rolling Reels feature that activates after every spin that resulted in a win in the base game. All symbols (three or greater) that comprise a winning combination disappear, producing a corresponding number of gaps which are then filled by the symbols that are located above the disappeared ones. If a new winning combo emerges as a result of this downshift, the feature continues in the same way until there are no more combos created.

Bonus features

There is a scatter (Cricket Ball) that triggers 15, 20 or 25 free games based on how many of these symbols have appeared at a time (3, 4 or 5, respectively). Besides, five scatters awards a 12,500-coin jackpot, or $12,500 at max. During free spins, the Rolling Reels feature gets a surprising twist with the addition of cumulative multipliers that increase between x2 and x10 on each consecutive win.

Ultimately, a wild symbol (the slot logo) appears stacked on reels 3, 4 and 5, and can randomly turn any reel into wild, providing a guaranteed coin amount.
