Hockey League - Review for Canadians, Demo Play & Payout Info

Introduction

It’s time to get padded up and hunker down to play a game inspired by a lesser-known professional sport from across the Atlantic, ice hockey.

Its fast, fluid and exhilarating nature has inspired the features of Hockey League by Pragmatic Play.

You can enjoy the coolness of the ice rink from the warmth of your own home, as the game is easily accessible from your desktop, mobile and tablet.

Theme

The imaginative minds at Pragmatic Play have successfully recreated the thrilling aesthetics of the actual game using refreshingly simple and practical graphics.

The backdrop encompasses a huge hockey arena filled with thousands of fans, and the reels are encased within a score monitor.

Impressive sound effects, with classic hockey music and roaring fans, will encourage total immersion in the game.

How to Play

Fortunately, you don’t have to be familiar with the rules of the actual game to enjoy this offering, since it follows those of a typical slot game. It also has a traditional format, with five reels, three rows and 20 paylines.

You can bet from between 20p and $100 per spin, using use the (+) and (-) buttons to change the coin value and the amount of your wager. If you want to increase the speed of the game (mirroring the speed of the sport), you can select Autoplay to allow the reels to continue spinning for as long as you desire.

Symbols

The game features a blend of traditional symbols and those inspired by the game’s theme. The playing card symbols and the three-player symbols act as the lowest-value symbols. Keep a keen eye out for the black and white striped Referee: five on a payline will reward 25,75 or 500 coins. The game also features not one but two Wilds: the hockey puck and the silver trophy.

Scatters

The puck serves a dual purpose as it also acts as the game’s Scatter. Both symbols can take the place of any other symbol but cannot substitute each other. If three, four or five of the trophy Wilds land on one of the 20 paylines, you’ll be awarded with 50, 150 or 1,000 coins.

Bonus Feature

During the bonus feature, one hockey player or the referee will be selected (at random) as the most valuable player. They will in turn act as the Scatter and pay out in accordance with the paytable. You can also re-activate the bonus feature and receive an additional 10 free spins.
