Character games - Australian athletes as slot heroes

Australia is proud of its champions: track and field athlete Katie Freeman, swimmer Ian Thorpe, tennis player Lliton Hewitt and rider Mark Webber. Slot machines use their imagery as Wild symbols, bonus triggers, and central minigame characters. Below are key tricks and the best examples of "star" slots.

1. Basic mechanics of "star" slots

1. Signature Move Respins

When three portraits of an athlete fall out, a series of respins is activated, in each of which the chance of a "signature" (autographed Wildcard) that remains on the screen until the end of the bonus is doubled.

2. Champion’s Free Spins

Three "trophy with portrait" symbols give 8-12 freespins, during which each new portrait adds + 1 to the multiplier.

3. Athlete Collection Challenge

Collect a series of images of different athletes - for a full set (for example, Katie Freeman + Ian Thorpe) you get a super round with increased stakes and random "Signature Responses."

4. Country Pride Bonus

The symbol of the flag of Australia, together with the portrait of the champion, launches a mini-game for choosing a medal (bronze/silver/gold) - the multiplier × 2- × 10 depends on the selected color.

5. Hall of Fame Jackpot

Hall of Fame Progress Bar: For every five wins involving a portrait of an athlete, you move through the "gallery" and get a jackpot when you reach the top.
