What’s this all about the Cricket Star Scratch card then? I have been doing lots of sport recently (well if playing our Instant Horses game counts), so bring it on.
I’ve spent many a lazy summer’s day scratching my furry belly while pretending to watch Uncle Merv hooking and driving to silly mid off (hmm, did I give myself away there?) At one time, I was known for my googlies when I used swing an over in for the Goondiwindi 1st XI.
(Goondiwindin means ‘duck poo’ in the local Aboriginal language by the way, which is highly appropriate when you consider how many of us where out for nought).
So picture this scene, a cricket pitch with a cheering crowd and 9 panels that you’ll be itching to scratch to reveal what’s on the scorecard. Welcome, my Wombat friends to Microgaming’s Cricket Star Scratch Card: prepare to be bowled over! Scratch your tummy as well if you like! if you have tried the other games in this series like the Basketball Star on Fire slot you will know the score.
If you’re a wombat who hasn’t tried one of our scratch cards yet, then this game will right that wrong. Catch up and try and reveal some of those hidden prizes with this sporty scratch card. There’s also a Cricket Star slot of course.
Those lovely designers at Microgaming have dreamt up a great combo here: a good old game of cricket in a speedy scratch card format. Good work Microgaming.
Did I mention that there’s 10,000 your wager wins on offer? Yep, that’s why this scratch card will have you queuing up to play time and again.
Cricket Star Scratch Look and Feel
The scratch panels are set before a cricket game in play with the stands packet full of fans. This game puts your right at the centre of the action, giving an immersive feel to the gaming.
The graphics are solid but don’t expect to be blown away. This kind of game is all about the tension of the panel reveal. We’ll slot it in with our other sporty “casual” games like Virtual Tennis from 1×2 Gaming.
Game Play
Scratch away over 3 rows and 3 reels and 9 panels.
You just need to reveal 3 matching icons to make a line win which could net you 10,000x your stake win. That should fund a few meat pies during the tea break.
The top-scoring icon is a cricketer in his whites hitting the ball. Landing a trio of this bloke will get you the 10,000x your wager boost to your wallet. Howzatttt!
The other icons include a blue-clad bowler (this can’t be a test match then), a wicket-keeper behind the stumps, a batter giving the ball an almighty wallop and a fielder. The lowest value symbol is the cricketing crowd in funny hats cheering on the play. These barmy lads and lasses are normally your secret weapon when the chips are down, but hey ho.
Because this is a scratch card game, there are no Wilds or Scatters around- the game is a simple as can be. Just focus on revealing those 3 matchings icons to build yourself win and to keep the run rate up.
Firstly, set your wager level.
If you’re someone who loves suspense, like looking at a triple-decker Vegemite sarnie before you devour it, reveal one panel at a time. If you’re more of a red-blooded wombat and simply can’t wait to get chomping, then there’s just the thing for you. Just opt to reveal 9 panels at once by hitting the High-Speed button.
Summary
There’s no two ways about it, Wombat Fans. The Cricket Star Scratch Card is a satisfying high volatility game. And, better still, it has got that fast play option that makes playing so compelling and adrenalin-fuelled. Just watch your budget and play responsibly.
For my money, cricket and scratching are two activites I’ve always done together. And why limit yourself to a belly scratch card when there are prizes to be won?
Microgaming make highly popular games and Scratch Card Cricket slot is no exception. Get ready to scartch.
