Hockey Hero Slots

How do you spend your free time? If you can think of nothing better than attending a hockey game, you don't need to leave home to check out this one. Hockey Hero offers some slot action that should give you everything you want from the sport. So, if you want to explore the features in this one, keep reading as we've got all the facts you ought to know before you begin to spin those reels.

Which developer should we thank for this slot game?

This is a Realtime Gaming title, but they're rebranded to Spin Logic Gaming in some quarters, so you might see that brand name instead.

You can try this one before working out any real wagers

As always, we can trust in this development team to include a demo, which means you can play as if you were playing the real game, but with no bets involved.

You know the theme - but which style of hockey are we playing?

This isn't field hockey - we are taking to the ice for this one. It becomes apparent when the game loads, and the rarity of this theme makes it well worth exploring.

This features an older game design

If you've checked out some of RTG's older slots, you might well recognize the format and appearance used in this one. It feels familiar in a good way though, which is cool to know. We were surprised to note that the cheap symbols - the ones connected with the smallest prizes - were not the standard letters and numbers. Instead, everything on the reels connects with ice hockey in one way or another, whether you're playing or watching it.

Let's play some Hockey Hero slots, shall we?

This has a familiar layout that goes for the 5 x 3 arrangement. There are two progressives here as well - minor and major ones - to give things a little extra edge. They appear to have random triggers.

The hockey player is the wild symbol, offering a 2x multiplier and landing on reels two and four. The scattered penalty box symbol offers prizes for two or more appearing anywhere on the reels.

You'll find plenty of paylines in this game

There are 25 of them in play.

Lots of coins help you find your ideal wager

This is one thing that is made easier by trying the demo first. You can choose from coins going from a cent to $5, so remember to multiply your value by the line quantity.

Paytable details provide all the game facts and figures

There are some other elements in this game that we've yet to cover, so make sure you read about them on the paytable along with reviewing more details below.

Bonus features are absent for this game

This isn't an issue though because there is a lot more to cover yet.

Finding some free spins in Hockey Hero

You need at least three scatters to receive some of these, with 18 of them to get at most. That's not it though. Your first spin starts when you lose the peanut from each reel. Yes, we really did write that. A clock then appears on reel one. Three free games are played before another symbol disappears like the peanut did. You then get another clock. The idea is that you'll either play 18 free spins or you land a spin that reveals two clocks.

It sounds a bit unusual, and it is, but it does add some spark to the round. The free games also come with a Win-Win feature. The idea is to try and scoop a specified amount in prizes. If you don't manage to do this, you'll score an extra prize at the end, hence the Win-Win part.

RTP information looks to be around 95% or higher

It's impossible to tell for sure as this game was not released with the return to player info inside the paytable or elsewhere.

What did we make of the Hockey Hero slot?

This is an awesome game for an older title. There is a little of everything in this one, and we haven't seen anything like the free spin round turning up in other slots either. For that reason, we are ranking this as an 8.5 out of 10 slot.

Random triggers produce jackpot winners

And who can say when the next trigger will occur?

Demo play lets you figure out everything about this game

You'll then know whether you like it enough to change to some real wagers.

The real game has plenty of coins to choose from too
