Play Baseball Bucks for Free

Lighting Box Games really have knocked the ball out of the park with the design work on this slot game with attention to detail throughout. The reels are a scoreboard design and in this format even the playing card numerals look in theme, the backdrop is a baseball stadium which erupts in to life with a feature or win and the voiceover effects sound just like a real life over the top sports commentator.

The team mascot of a stag not only serves as the games bonus scatter but also entertains on and around the reels in a range of animation sequences and additions, he’s only part of the fun with every win, bonus combination and feature all seeming to have a great unique animation sequence of their own which tie in perfectly with the style and theme of the game.

Outside of the playing cards and the stag (well considering the game name, he’s a ‘buck’), a baseball playing card forms the base game wild whilst a stadium, hotdog with drinks and a cheeky blonde cheerleader round out the higher paying icons on the slot.

The setup is far easier to understand than the game of baseball itself, with 25 pay-lines and a simple bet per line, it’s just a case of choosing a bet value and then sitting back to enjoy the action by spinning the reels. All the included audio and visual entertainment manages to handily distract from the fact that the wins in the base game are frequent, but very low, you need to chase down 3 or more of the bonus baseballs with the buck image on to trigger the free spins round if you want to win big.

The bonus feature round is just as incredible to play as the base game, three scatters wins you the base 6 free games with the standard game wild active, before the spins start you get 3 strikes of the bat in a pick win game to improve the rewards which will be on offer, with extra free spins and extra wild symbols up for grabs.

You will face off as the batter with 10 picks available, here you can reveal 1-3 extra free games per pick and accrue up to 4 symbols to be fully wild for the duration of the free games. Just like in the genuine sport, 3 strikes will see you out so choose those picks carefully to maximise the free spins rewards!

This is a seriously cool game and no doubt about it, the variance balance is nice with exciting wins in the bonus round available. As always that does affect the base game play but Lightning Box Games have managed to keep the entertainment factor high enough there that you don’t mind, as a result, it’s near to the perfect slot setup with something on offer for all types of players. We could ask for a progressive jackpot, but honestly, that’s just being fussy, this is a home run!
