It’s for some very good reasons that a large majority of rugby fans prefer watching their favourite sport from the side lines only, rather than indulging in some hard-core and rough rugby action themselves. For one, the maximum number of sports-related accidents and emergency cases in the UK come from rugby. It’s considered an exceptionally hard sport to earn a living by any standards.
However, there is another way to enjoy the game without actively playing or watching or betting on the sport! Furthermore, it could win you loads of money too! Microgaming, a popular casino software provider which powers the reputed casino platforms like 7 Sultans casino, offers Rugby Star, a well-known rugby-based online slot game in its portfolio. This one’s a series of similar games, with other titles themed around basketball, football and cricket, that enjoy equal popularity among the fans of those sports.
About the game
As is the case with majority of online slots these days, Rugby Star also has 5 reels (as against 3 reels of the conventional fruit slots). However, where it stands out from the rest of the slot games is unlike the rest of them where the pay lines run diagonally or horizontally on the game screen, it uses an all-way betting format wherein the winning lines can run in almost any direction, haphazardly across the screen. In case of a 3 line and 5-reel online slot game, it implies that you get 243 winning lines, offering a much higher chance of scoring wins!
Rugby Star also features another one of Microgaming’s trademark feature called rolling reels. It’s a highly intuitive concept that can’t be implemented on the machines running physical reels, however, works exceedingly well in case of video and online slots. In this feature, symbols forming the part of winning lines explode into dust and enable the ones right above them to drop down, taking their place. This makes many more wins possible. In fact, technically you can win non-stop, indefinitely through this method.
The theme of rugby is evident all through the visuals of Rugby Star. You see players locking shoulders and flying across the field, diving here and there! The individual symbols have been animated as well, for instance, when an athlete takes the rugby ball, you see it spinning and soaring through the air. The online slot is set against the backdrop of the noisy Twickenham Stadium, giving you an almost real feel of the place.
The soundtrack that plays throughout the game is highly inspirational and peaks to a crescendo at the most critical points of the game. The combined overall effect of everything makes this unarguably the best of the Microgaming’s Star series of online slots.
Apart from the other popular sports based slot titles, for instance the ones on tennis or football, it’s rugby only that has received a dedicated slot game, something that Microgaming should be applauded for!
Final word
So the next time you yearn for some pitch action, but don’t feel like having a pile of uncompromising, muddy and huge players on top of you, why not log in and play Rugby Star instead?!
