[Quick take] Football Star — Microgaming
The starting point of Microgaming's 'Star' sports series. The whole series shares one label; RTP and bet range do not.
Core rules
Released 8 May 2014. Published RTP 96.29%, volatility High, bet range 0.5–250. The maximum win, feature list and reel layout are not published.
What stands out
Narrowing to the football, cricket and rugby titles, Cricket Star (2015) is listed at 96.29% and 0.5–50, Rugby Star (2015) at 96.45% and 0.5–125, and Football Star Deluxe (2020) and Rugby Star Deluxe (2020) at 96.88%; all five are High. The label never moves, but RTP rises in the Deluxe versions, and this original's bet ceiling of 250 is the widest among those published. Football Star Deluxe publishes its line options as 18 / 38 / 68 / 88 Lines; the original lists no layout.
