Cricket Heroes Slot Review

Cricket Heroes Introduction

Cricket Heroes from Endorphina drops you straight into a packed cricket stadium on a 5x3 layout with 21 fixed paylines. As someone who spends a lot of time on sports themed slots, I like how this one blends a match day feel with simple mechanics. You get wilds with multipliers, a trophy scatter that launches free spins and a traditional gamble feature, all wrapped around medium volatility and a 96% RTP.

The slot went live on 9 April 2021, and I have played it both in free demo mode and for real money. With its fixed lines and coin values set between 0.01 and 1.00, it feels easy to set up a stake and get spinning. Even if cricket is not your favourite sport, the steady pace and clear feature set make Cricket Heroes a comfortable game to sit on for a session.

Cricket Heroes Theme, graphics & soundtrack

Cricket Heroes leans hard into the atmosphere of an international cricket match, with the reels framed as a giant screen inside a modern stadium under floodlights. The high value symbols are colourful players, bats, helmets and balls, all drawn in a bold style that fits the sport angle. When the reels stop, winning lines play out like highlight replays, which keeps the sports theme front and centre throughout each spin.

Sound wise, Cricket Heroes uses the roar of the crowd and short bursts of commentary to mark spins and wins. I found the audio a bit plain during longer sessions, which matches what many players say about the soundtrack. The visuals carry the game far better, so I often turn the volume down and just enjoy the stadium backdrop while I focus on the paytable and feature triggers.

Cricket Heroes RTP and variance

On the numbers side, Cricket Heroes runs with a 96% RTP and medium variance, which I see play out as a fairly steady stream of small wins with the odd spike when multipliers line up. The wild symbol doubles any line it helps to complete, so stacked balls across the grid can pad your balance. Free games do not land constantly, though, so a session bankroll still needs a bit of patience.

Cricket Heroes Bet sizes & paytable wins

With 21 fixed paylines, Cricket Heroes asks you to choose a coin value from 0.01 up to 1.00, giving a minimum stake of 0.21 and a maximum of 21.00 per spin in the standard set-up I have played. That range keeps it comfortable for most bankrolls. Official material lists a top win of 420 on the paytable, and some sources mention total potential around 4200x your stake.

Symbol wise, the cricket ball wild sits at the top of the regular paytable and also carries the vital multiplier. Five wilds pay 250x, four 150x, three 100x and even a pair gives 10x. Behind that come the captain at up to 125x, the fielder at 120x, the batsman at 100x, then the bat and helmet, each peaking at 90x for five of a kind.

Two special scatter style symbols, a bat and a helmet, offer the highest listed line rewards, with five bats paying 420x and five helmets paying 210x. Below the themed icons sit the usual card ranks from jack to ace, ranging from 60x to 80x for five of a kind and dropping to 2x for the smallest wins. In practice, the captain and fielder hits carried many of my better base game moments.

Cricket Heroes bonus features

The main feature in Cricket Heroes is the free games round, triggered by landing at least three trophy scatters anywhere on the reels. Three, four or five trophies award 15, 30 or 45 free spins, and every win during those spins is tripled. When you combine that 3x overall multiplier with the 2x ball wild on winning lines, the right screen full of symbols can ride a hot streak very quickly.

After any standard win in Cricket Heroes you can press the gamble button and step into a simple card game against the dealer. Four cards lie face down and you pick one, trying to beat the dealer's card, with the joker acting as the highest rank. Wins can be doubled up to ten times, but I only risk medium or small hits here, as one bad pick wipes the lot.

Cricket Heroes review: our verdict

As a regular slot player who also follows cricket, I rate Cricket Heroes as a solid sports themed option with enough action to keep me engaged. The 96% RTP, medium variance, wild multipliers and generous free spin counts tick most of my mechanical boxes, even if the soundtrack is nothing special and the bonus can be stubborn. If you like straightforward gameplay wrapped in a match day setting, this one is worth a spin.
