Baseball Themed Casino Games

Given the love that people have for baseball, and its place as America’s national sport, it’s not really surprising that it is possible to play baseball themed slots games online these days – after all sports based slots are also extremely popular. Probably the most enduring baseball slot is Hot Shot, which has captured the imagination of baseball fans and casino gambling fans, because it manages to combine a real baseball feel with most of the best things about slots games – such as cheap, easy play and good chances of winning.
 Hot Shot is a nine pay line, five reel, non progressive slot and those baseball fans who haven’t played it before will feel instantly at home once they start. The reel icons are baseball all the way, including catchers mitts, pitchers, hitters, baseball hats, and the kinds of snacks all fans consume (sometimes slightly guiltily) at the games – like popcorn, candy bars and fries. Behind these reels you will see a beautiful green baseball field, stitched baseball and wooden bats, while the match day feel is further enhanced by the sound effects you get with Hot Shot.

To start with, if you manage to score a winning reel, you will hear the sound of a bat giving a baseball a mighty whack – which is weirdly satisfying. Furthermore, if you get a reel featuring the scatter symbol (a gold trophy), you hear the sound of the crowd roaring its approval. Again this actually makes you feel like a star player and let’s face it, if you support a side like the Astros; it’s the closest you’re likely to get to a trophy. However, as great as the baseball aspect of Hot Shot is, it still wouldn’t work as a game, if it didn’t deliver the expected online casino slots features as well, but with a maximum jackpot of $2000, and the wild and scatter symbols meaning you have a real chance of securing a payout, this isn’t the case.
