Be a rugby star
Rugby Star is a five-reel pokie with three rows and 243 ways to win. This means you are not working with paylines; instead, you can make winning combinations with any symbols that appear on adjacent reels starting from left to right. To play all 243 ways, you need to bet $5 per spin (10 coins at $0.01) as a minimum; however, you can bet up to $0.10, meaning a total bet of $50.
The low value symbols are a rugby stadium, a pair of rugby boots, a scrum cap and a trophy, while the high value symbols are represented by five players from some of the strongest rugby playing countries around the world - England, South Africa, New Zealand, Australia, and Wales. The wild symbol is the Rugby Star logo and can substitute for any other symbols except for the scatter symbol to make winning combinations.
These wilds can come stacked on several reels and there is also a Wild Pass feature that is randomly triggered and will turn up to two reels (from reels two, three and four) completely wild for a re-spin and a guaranteed win. The scatter symbol is a rugby ball and landing three or more of these anywhere on the reels will trigger the bonus free spins round.
Three scatter symbols will get you 15 free spins, four will net you 20, and five will award you 25 free spins. Rugby Star also has the ability to store your win statistics and lets you unlock achievements by winning with different symbols.
Rolling reels
This feature means that symbols in winning combinations disappear after they pay out and are replaced by more symbols falling down from above. These new symbols can also make winning combinations and the process will continue until there are no more wins. Combine this with the 243 ways to win and the stacked wilds and you can be in for some serious prize money.
Rolling Reels also applies during the free spins bonus round; however, in this case, each consecutive rolling win will increase the multiplier - two x, three x, four x, five x and 10 x.
