Rugby Star Pokie Game

More Details on the Rugby Star Game

When it comes to the sports pokie market, Microgaming have really led the way and that applies to the Rugby Star pokie game. Their “Stars” range include a Basketball pokie, a Football pokie, and the Cricket Stars pokie, for which we recently wrote a review. Despite this varied range of sports, the pokies themselves are not particularly varied. Many of the features, like Rolling Reels, appear across all the Sports Stars pokies – which, in fairness, is no bad thing. However, there are some distinguishing features on the Rugby Star that’ll have you spinning out of a ruck (or maul). Read on to find out more…

Pokie Features

Like Cricket Star, Rugby Star also has an incredible 243 pay lines. This means there are a myriad of different symbol combinations which can pay into your pocket. Rugby Star, perhaps as a reflection of the sport’s popularity, has an even higher jackpot than Cricket Star, worth up to 120,000 credits!

The pokie also has 40 Rugby Star Wild symbols which substitute for all others except the Scatter symbol. They can also stack on reels 3,4 and 5.

Unlike the Wild Wickets feature in the Cricket Star pokie, you get the Wild Pass feature in this one. They function almost identically: you can get up to 2 wild reels across reel 2, 3, or 4.

As we mentioned, Rugby Star features the Rolling Reels feature – a staple of these Microgaming pokies. During the main game, you could win multiple re-spins as the Rolling Reels replenish with a win. They can also play an important roll in the Free spins round which is triggered by the scatter symbols. More on that below.

Rugby Star Free Spins

When players get 3 or more rugby ball scatter symbols, then this triggers the free spins round. The number of free spins that you receive in Rugby Star, depends on the number of scatters in the main game.

3 Rugby Ball Scatters: 15 Spins

4 Rugby Ball Scatters: 20 Spins

5 Rugby Ball Scatters: 25 Spins

If the Rolling Reels appear within the free spins round, then this sweetens the deal even further. These will award players multipliers worth up to 10x!

The scatters in the Rugby Star main game also reward players with a handsome pay out. If you get 5 scatters, then you will receive an enormous pay out. If you bet $50, then you’ll win $12,500!

Special Bonus Features

Like the other Sports Star pokies, there isn’t a separate bonus games round in Rugby Star. That’s not to say there aren’t plenty of exciting features to enjoy. The Rolling Reels offer exciting in-game play, the free spins rounds can prove to be seriously lucrative. These two forces combined offer players the opportunity to get huge multipliers in the midst of free spins. Who said there was no such thing as a free lunch! (There still isn’t.)

Rugby Star Free Play

Like many Microgaming pokies, you can play for free on many online casinos, sometimes without even having to be a registered member. If you want to see the pokie in action, then watch Microgaming’s official promo video below.

The RTP is 96.52% and the pokie has medium variance. This means it pays out fairly regularly and these can be quite large sums of money. The RTP is reasonable for a video pokie of its kind, but there are better ratios out there.

Why Play Rugby Star Pokie Game?

Firstly, if you are a fan of Rugby, and you are a fan of pokies, then there really is absolutely no excuse. Though the slot doesn’t quite have the same buzzing soundtrack as Cricket Star pokies, the Rolling Reels remains a reason to play any pokie. Sports Stars unite!
