Hockey Hero Slots

Hockey Hero Slots is a wonderful sports themed game that looks good enough to be a movie and is oozing with so much character we’re not sure where it all came from. Combining amazing visuals with expressive character designs and production values higher than the budget of some sports teams, It pays well and plays well, and we found it to be pretty addictive the longer our winning streak got—which in our case was thankfully pretty long. Then again, we were born lucky! We thoroughly enjoyed the time we spent with it, mostly wishing that we could see a movie made of the great work done here. If you have spare time and a spare dollar, you can do a lot worse than investing it squarely into Hockey Hero Slots. Skip this review and give it a spin! It’s the best way to know for sure, and it’s not like it’ll take long. If not, keep reading and we’ll figure this one out together.

Premise

The premise of Hockey Hero Slots is cartoon hockey. Not newspaper style, however, but Pixar level visuals.

Graphics and Presentation

Graphics are jaw dropping. Everything is crisp, clear, colorful, and compelling to look at, which makes your time spent playing all the easier because of how easy they are on the eyes. It’s on par with Pixar. Enough said. We particularly appreciate that they took the time to make the gear of the players cartoony too. It all just looks great.

Gameplay Mechanics

Gameplay in Hockey Hero Slots by Real Time Gaming is standard. At 5 reels and 25 pay lines, it does not break the mold there, choosing instead to keep things classy in ways we can respect. Betting here ranges from $0.01 to $5 per coin, with 1 coin per line, making this an accessible slot that anyone can jump into in hopes of winning a lot of money without worrying about necessarily breaking the bank in the process. Max bets cap out at $125, which tends to be how we rolled when we played it a bunch for our review. Not too much, not too little, just right in our book. Symbols include Snacks, Mask, Clock, Skates, Referee, Trophy, Player and Goaltender. The Penalty Box is the scatter symbol. The bonus rounds here are the Win-Win Bonus Feature and Free Spins Feature, offering up to 18 free spins with a 2x multiplier. We think it stands tall among bonus rounds and looked forward to it showing up.
