TENNIS STARS
SUMMARY
Tennis Stars is a video slot with a tennis theme, and it appears to be very basic at first glance. It has simplistic visuals and a distinct retro vibe and appearance that harkens back to legendary video games from the 1990s. On the other hand, its extra features are comparable to those seen in many of today’s modern-looking slot games. Tennis Stars also features a smooth gameplay and operates well in-browser on any laptop or desktop computer as a Playtech creation. The game has five reels and four rows of symbols, allowing all 40 pay lines to be used. The predominant hue is green, and the symbols are all tennis-related — tennis balls, rackets, shoes, and so on.
When it comes to wagering, players have a lot of flexibility and customisation. They have the option of activating one or all 40 lines, with bet limits according on their preferred currency. The minimum stake each spin in US dollars is $0.01, while the maximum bet per spin can reach a mind-boggling $2,000.
Tennis Stars’ pay table features the standard Playtech playing cards (in this case, from Nine to Aces), which act as the lower values. Tennis balls and tennis shoes, like the card icons, pay out whenever three or more of them appear on an active pay line. Tennis players, both male and female, are the better paid symbols. At least two of them must fall on an active line to form a winning combination.
The Wild symbol in this game is very intriguing because it only appears on reels 2, 3, and 4. It takes the form of a trophy and can be used to replace all symbols except the Scatter.
Bonus Games and Features
Tennis Stars, a video slot by Playtech, offers a Gamble option that allows you to double your winnings. You can click the Gamble button after each winning spin to be presented with a face-down card. You must properly guess whether it is black or red – a correct response doubles the amount, while a poor answer loses your stake and returns you to the main game. Unlike most video slots, this one awards free spins for the Wild symbol rather than the Scatter. When three or more trophy icons appear on the second, third, or fourth reels at the same time, 15 free spins with a 3x multiplier are awarded. In addition, the player is awarded a cash prize equal to 10 times the total stake. If you get Wilds on reels 2, 3, and 4 during any of the 15 free rounds, you will be awarded another set of 15 free spins.
When playing Tennis Stars, you can access the Championship Bonus in addition to the re-triggerable free spins. When at least three Scatter symbols appear anywhere on the reels, this feature is triggered. You’ll be asked to choose whether you want to play Men’s Singles or Women’s Singles on a different screen. Then you have to serve in a game of tennis against the computer, choosing between a Flat Serve and a Slice Serve. The round is then completed.
The Championship Bonus Game consists of six rounds, with the game ending when you have won four of them. You can win and lose points, but the match will always be won. In the end, the monetary prize will be determined by the outcome, with any Aces you receive during the game adding a multiplier. The Championship Bonus Game has a potential payout of 250 times your entire bet.
