Cricket Star review
I see Cricket Star as a proper sport-themed slot from Microgaming, released on 2015-02-01. It runs 243 ways to win, so it is about racking up combinations rather than chasing neat line patterns. The match-day feel is the point here, with crowd noise and little action beats keeping the spins moving.
On the numbers, the RTP is listed at 96.3% (also shown as 96.29%) and volatility sits in the medium bracket. That usually lands in a sweet spot for play, not too dead, not pure boom or bust. Stake range is given as $0.50 to $50, and autoplay lets me set 10, 25, or 50 spins. Bonus buy is not available.
Cricket Star Symbols and Payouts
The symbol set in Cricket Star sticks tightly to cricket. Low-value icons include the group of cricket fans, the umpire, the team celebrating, and the batsmen changing ends. The top-paying symbols are the fielding position catch, the kneeling batsman, the wicketkeeper, the bowler, and the batsman hitting the ball. Wins pay left to right, with the highest win per line counting.

Game Features in Cricket Star
The base game in Cricket Star is built around three things: Wilds, Rolling Reels, and Free Spins. The logo acts as the Wild, substituting for any paying symbol except the Spin Ball scatter. It shows up on reels three, four, and five, and it keeps the reel screen busy when it lands in clusters.
The standout extra is Wild Wickets. These can trigger randomly and turn the whole of reels two, three, or four into Wilds, which is as close as this game gets to a guaranteed hit. When that fires, it feels like the game has switched from steady match play into a sudden highlight reel, and it can flip a quiet session quickly.
Rolling Reels runs in the base game and during free spins, but not when Wild Wickets are active. Any winning symbols disappear and new ones drop in until no more wins are left, so you can build combinations without paying for another spin. Free spins trigger with Spin Ball scatters: 3 award 15, 4 award 20, and 5 award 25. In the bonus, the multiplier climbs from 2x up to 10x as the feature keeps rolling.
Cricket Star Graphics & Sound
Cricket Star is 2D, but it leans hard into atmosphere. The crowd cheering and upbeat background score do most of the work, and the animated sports action sequences sell the idea that you are sitting in a stand rather than staring at a plain reel set. It is also marked as optimised for mobile, which fits a quick spin style game.
Conclusion – Hit a Six With Cricket Star
Cricket Star feels authentic, and the features actually match the theme instead of being bolted on. Medium volatility and an average RTP make it a middle-of-the-road game in the best way, and 243 ways means plenty of small patterns can land. The free spins plus Rolling Reels and the rising multiplier are where the real thrills sit, with maximum profit listed as x2100.
