Rugby Star Pokies – Royal Vegas Money Slots

Released in time for the Rugby World Cup in 2015, the Rugby Star pokie was developed by Microgaming using a similar theme they have used for other sport-based games, including Break Away, Football Star and Cricket Star. Rugby fans can checkout this title for themselves at Royal Vegas Casino.

 

Gameplay

 

There are some fairly recognizable teams and players in this pokie, but there is also a generic feeling throughout, which probably helped to save them some money on the licensing front. Still, this is not an altogether bad thing as it works, and there is a strong variance and some high paying symbols to back up those aesthetics.

 

There are 243 paylines and this pokie is available on both desktop and mobile casinos, using the same layout, features and gameplay on both.

 

Betting

 

There is quite a high minimum bet on this pokie, as you can’t spin for less than $0.50 and there is no way of picking and choosing your paylines. There is still a wide scope in regards to the betting though, as the maximum bet is $250.

 

Bonus Rounds

 

The free spins feature is the dominant feature here, but there is also a Wild Pass feature, which can appear randomly at anytime and gift you with a helping hand. The free spins round is unlocked via the rugby ball symbol and when this is active there is also a Rolling Reel feature and a multiplier in place, both of which help to boost your earnings.

 

Summary

 

The graphics are standard on this pokie, nothing great but nothing terrible either. The features are what brings this game to life though, with a strong RTP of close to 96.5%, a gamble feature, a free spins feature, a Rolling Reels feature and an instant win, as well as some very big wilds.
