Before the game starts, players will need to choose the wager that suits their playing style and their budget. The coin denomination ranges from $0.50 to $5, while the stake can be anywhere from a mere $0.50 up to $50 per spin.

Badminton Hero is a beautifully styled game, with plenty of vibrant colours and cartoon-style icon, set in an arena full of spectators. A list of symbols includes a Racket and a Shuttle, Badminton Shoes and a Strategy Board, and, of course, a Net. The highest-paying icons feature different players and their coach.

The Game Logo serves as the Wild, substituting for all regular symbols bar the Scatter, and which can also appear in stacks on reels 2, 3 and 4. More than 40 Wilds can be added to the reels, considerably increasing your chances to win.

The Trophy symbol is the Scatter, whose task is to activate the Free Spins round, awarding 15, 20 or 25 spins, depending on the number of icons used to trigger the feature.

Players will surely appreciate the Rolling Reels feature, which uses the familiar mechanic where winning symbols get removed from the reels, and then replaced, with the new one having the power to form new winning combinations, repeating the whole process until there are no more combos to be formed. In addition to this, the Multiplier Trail can increase the multiplier after each spin, but it’s only available during the Free Spins round.

The Wild Smash is a randomly triggered feature, which can turn up to two reels Wild, awarding a guaranteed win.

When it comes to the game’s average return to player (RTP), it is set at 96.45%.
