Batter Up! Slot Machine
If you’re a fan of baseball, the ultimate American pastime, then you owe it to yourself to play Batter Up!, one of the latest online slots games from NuWorks. This slot machine really gives you the chance to knock it clean out of the park with its stadium setting, but that certainly isn’t all.
This is one of those immersive games that really pulls you in and leaves you feeling like you’re actually stepping up to the place in the World Series. Whether the stadium that you’re in is Yankee Stadium, Wrigley Field, or Fenway Park doesn’t really matter, as what matters is that Batter Up! is an incredibly exciting slot machine that we certainly had a lot of fun playing.
You may have had read all of the above and thought “heard it all before”, but let us assure you, this NuWorks release really is living up to the hype. The following review looks at why Batter Up! is a game not be missed, especially if you are a baseball fan.
Take Me out to the Ball Game
No doubt you can guess the theme of Batter Up! from the name; this slot machine is all about baseball and features fans, hot dogs, coke, medals, tickets, batters, baseballs, gold cups, batting helmets, peanuts, and cleats.
Sports-themed games have always been popular and we expect this title will be no exception; especially considering the level of presentation it is bringing to the table. Overall, Batter Up! looks nothing short of fantastic and may well be NuWorks’ most graphically potent online slots release to date.
Setting up Your Batting Order
As you’d expect from a NuWorks release, the game features a user friendly and colourful user interface. Underneath the reels is where all the important controls are found. From here you change the number of paylines, the value of the coins between 0.01 and 1.00, turn auto-play on or off, and even adjust the speed of the game. Because you can only bet one coin per line, the max bet in Batter Up! is 25.00 credits.
Swing for the Fences
We already told you what all the symbols are in Batter Up! and now we’ll take a closer look at how much they can be worth to you. The most that you can get out of the basic symbols is 2,500 coins, but there’s a little more to winning it big than just this. The wild symbol in Batter Up! is the batter and, even though he can only appear on the first and fifth reel, he does double the prize amount of any winning combination that he’s involved with.
Sliding into Home Plate
It gets even better as if you complete a combination using two batter symbols, as then you can quadruple your win. With such in effect, the highest amount that you can get from a standard icon becomes 10,000 if that combination includes two batter wilds.
The ball symbols in the game also add an interesting feature to Batter Up!, as if a ball pops up on a reel then that reel is held in place while the other reels are spun two more times. Balls themselves are also worth up to 200 coins if you land five of them.
Run, Run, Run
There is an additional feature in Batter Up! that is triggered by forming the word “Run” on the three middle reels. During this feature you’re given nine free spins where all your related prizes are tripled. It’s also possible to win even more free spins during a free spin too, as well as unlocking the Batter bonus.
When the Bases are Loaded
Finally, one of the great underlying features of Batter Up! is that the game has not one, not two, but three random progressive jackpots. You can find yourself randomly winning a major, minor or mini jackpot with any spin. Keeping up NuWorks’ generous reputation, it appears that Batter Up! is just as cash-loaded as the games that have preceded it.
Step up to the Plate with Batter Up!
Batter Up! is one of those games that almost seems to offer too much excitement. It really gets your heart racing and gives you almost as much adrenaline fuelled fun as baseball itself does. If you want to be taken out to the ball game and come back with a wallet full of cash, then you’ll want to give Batter Up! a go!
