Cricket Winner: Slot Review and Free Play Demo

Cricket Winner Review

Developer KA Gaming expands its collection of sports-themed games, presenting its new creation devoted to cricket. Called Cricket Winner, the slot comes packed with Wilds, Cascades, Free Spins, and Multipliers, which can lead to payouts of over 5,000x the bet.

The studio has never been famous for its design skills, so don’t expect Cricket Winner to overly impress you. Well, the graphics aren’t too bad, but the game strongly lacks animations and therefore feels pretty dated. Plus, it has a soundtrack that doesn’t really fit the gameplay, like it was taken from a different slot machine.

Cricket Winner Slot - Reel Screen

Cricket Winner takes you to the pitch, where in the center is sitting a standard 5x3 reel set with 243 win ways. Three or more matching symbols create winning combinations from left to right, and five-of-a-kind wins are worth from 1.6x to 10x the stake. The most valuable symbol is the image of a stadium. The other symbols include photos of cricket players, referees, and a trophy.

Players drop in by setting bets from £0.5 to £250 per spin, which would certainly suit most. The volatility tends to the high side of the spectrum, and the RTP clocks in at 96%, which is a solid average. The maximum you can win from a single spin is 5,691x the stake.

Cricket Winner Slot Features

Besides the regular symbols, Wilds symbols are also included, helping you to achieve wins by substituting for any of the regulars. They are available on any of the reels, and they can also appear via the random Score feature on any spin. When triggered, one of the reels 3, 4, and 5 is transformed into a fully-stacked Wild symbol.

Central to the gameplay is the Cascading Wins feature. Whenever a win is scored, all winning symbols get removed from the reels, while new ones tumble down from above to fill empty spaces. This process continues until there are no new winning combos to be created.

Cricket Winner Slot - Free Spins

In the free games, the cascading mechanic is linked to the multipliers, which increase all winning combos you score. Players receive 15, 20, or 20 free spins for landing 3, 4, or 5 Scatter symbols respectively. However, keep in mind that Scatters appearing as the result of the cascades do not count, so the combination is required to land within the initial reel spin.

Once triggered, a Ladder Multiplier feature is activated. Each consecutive cascade increases the multiplier gradually to 2x, 3x, 5x, and 10x. Yet, the multipliers reset between the spins.

Review Summary

In the end, Cricket Winner isn’t designed to capture the hearts of everyone with its narrowly targeted theme that won’t appeal to the broad masses, but for players really crazy about cricket, there’s definitely entertainment to be found.
