It’s time to be served… with a win that is, and whether you’re a tennis fan or not, you’ll have to appreciate how much you could win playing Tennis Stars online slot, a very cool Playtech game with a lot of personality.

Though it’s not what we’d call the best game created by the developer, it does have enough features to keep any player’s interest, including 40 paylines, a maximum fixed jackpot of 5 000 coins and two bonus rounds.

However, the graphics, the lack of a progressive jackpot and the slightly unoriginal theme make this game a good one to try, but not one you’d want to stick to for hours on end. Then again, the high top fixed jackpot is rather enticing.

The symbols, rather unsurprisingly, are al tennis-related and even if you’re not a tennis player, you’ll be familiar with them all. But what is really exciting is that the game allows both extremely low bets and extremely high ones, which means it can cater to all types of players. If you want to hit your payday though, you’ll need to find the scatter and wild symbols. The wild is the trophy and should it appear, it will help you get all of those winning combinations you may not have otherwise gotten. As for the scatter, this is the key to reaching the bonus round. Find it (it’s two rackets crossed at their stems) and you’ll be able to get multipliers and unlock the free spins awaiting you in the bonus games.

In this online video slot, the bonus round has been dubbed the Championship Bonus. This is on a new screen where you are a given a chance to be a part of a virtual tennis tournament. You have to pick the type of game, either men’s singles or women’s singles and then you pick the type of serve you want. Then, the match is played. What is interesting about this bonus round is that you never lose. You literally cannot lose. All that changes is the amount of points you get and what this means for you in terms of a multiplier.

The next feature, also part of the bonus round, is the gamble feature. Now, this is a little different to what you may be used to and should you press this button, you’ll basically be taken to a double or nothing feature. You’ll have to pick the red card or black card and if your guess is right, you get double your money. If you lose, however, you lose it all.

The game also has an autoplay, so if you want to get that 5 000 coin top jackpot but you find tennis a little dull, you can make use of it. Overall though, it’s a pleasant enough game to play but it’s not going to win any awards for design, sound or originality. If asked whether we think the game is worth a try, the answer would be yes. But if asked whether we think it’s worth adding to your top ten list of Playtech online video slots you must play before you die, we’d have to shake our heads ‘no’. Our rating: 60/100
