Ronnie O’Sullivan: Sporting Legends Slot
If you haven't had the pleasure of watching Ronnie O'Sullivan clearing the table to record the fastest 147 in snooker history, we suggest you look it up. Memories of that magnificent clearance instantly flooded back to us as we learned that he would be the second superstar to take center stage in Playtech’s new Sporting Legends series.
The much-anticipated series made its debut in February 2018, when the Frankie Dettori: Sporting Legends video slot galloped onto online casinos and left players yearning to meet more superstars of the sports world. This time, Ronnie O’Sullivan: Sporting Legends sees players swap the saddle for the green baize of a snooker table.
You might be wondering how on earth you’re going to win any real cash playing frames of snooker against one of the game's greats, but there’s no need to worry. “The Rocket” is on hand to help you develop a super-smooth cuing technique that will enable you to make the same kind of lightning-fast breaks you see him make time after time.
As you perfect your ball-striking skills with each spin of the reels, you’ll have a shot at earning huge prizes thanks to the many bonus features Playtech has packed into the game. These include high-paying wild symbols worth up to 5,000x the line bet, multiplied wins during 147 Maximum Break Free Games, and a pick feature in the Championship Bonus.
As Ronnie O’Sullivan: Sporting Legends is part of Playtech’s cutting-edge Sporting Legends series, you’ll also have the chance to scoop the potentially life-changing Sporting Legends progressive jackpot. But we’re sure plenty of you would happily settle for the Daily Jackpot or Weekly Jackpot instead.
Break Off From Just 0.25 Credits
The slick 3x5 game matrix of the Ronnie O’Sullivan: Sporting Legends video slot has been set against the green baize of a snooker table to complement the theme. The funky jazz soundtrack that rings out during each spin might make you feel like you’re in a swanky snooker club, but the captivated audience in the backdrop places you firmly in the center of a championship arena. We also love the sound of balls striking against each other as each of the five reels grinds to a halt during every spin.
To pot prizes in the base game, you’ll need to match a minimum of three symbols across one of the game’s 25 fixed paylines. Combine this straightforward five-reel, 25-payline structure with the fact that coin values are worth between 0.01 and 2, and you’ll quickly realize that a few frames with Ronnie can cost a lot less than you first imagined.
Ronnie O’Sullivan: Sporting Legends is therefore suitable for low-limit players and high rollers alike. You can chalk up your cue and break off from a minimum of just 0.25 credits, while a max bet of 50 credits is available for the most confident ball-strikers among you.
13 Symbols Can Roll Onto the Table
The talented digital artists at Playtech, the world’s largest supplier of online gaming software, has done a fantastic job designing all 13 symbols that feature on the pay table of Ronnie O’Sullivan: Sporting Legends.
While we usually have a little moan about the inclusion of alphanumeric playing card symbols in online slots, each of the five included on the reels of this sports-themed slot appears beside a colored ball to tie in with the game’s snooker theme. Rewards worth up to 125x the line bet are on offer for sinking 10s (yellow ball), Jacks (green ball) or Queens (brown ball). Meanwhile, the prizes double to a maximum of 250x the line bet for potting Kings (blue ball) or Aces (pink ball).
Premium symbols begin with the white and black balls, which roll onto the green baize as one symbol to award prizes worth up to 500x the line bet. The same rewards are on offer for each line of racked red balls you see. You’ll secure up to 750x the line bet for picking up a few of the chalks Ronnie uses to keep miscues to a minimum. Up to 1,250x the line bet will be added to your balance if you’re lucky enough to see Ronnie take a few shots, while the image of him posing is worth up to 2,500x the line bet.
Those payouts are certainly impressive, but it’s the three special symbols which have been included in Ronnie O’Sullivan: Sporting Legends that you’ll need to land if you’re after the game’s biggest prizes. The golden wild symbol – which has been designed in the style of a trophy – represents the highest-paying symbol. Delivering wins worth up to 5,000x the line bet, this wild symbol can substitute for all symbols except the scatter and bonus symbols, which you’ll learn more about in the next section.
Features Fit for a Champion
Three, four or five scatter symbols rolling onto the green baize simultaneously results in you winning 2x, 10x or 50x your stake respectively. Either of these combinations will also trigger the 147 Maximum Break Free Games feature. Unfortunately, you won’t receive 147 free games, but the number is central to the multiplier bonuses applied. Your first seven free games play out as normal with a 1x multiplier applied. Wins on your next four free games are multiplied by 4x. Finally, any wins on your twelfth – and final – free game will have a massive multiplier worth 7x applied.
Each time you see the Championship Bonus symbol land on the first and fifth reels simultaneously, you’ll trigger a straightforward pick ‘em feature. This five-round feature sees you pick one of five snooker balls to build a good break and boost your balance. Revealing a cash prize sees you advance to the next round of the tournament. If you’re lucky enough to reveal ‘win all’, you’ll pocket the combined total of all the balls in that round. To advance through each round and scoop the championship trophy, you’ll need to dodge the dreaded ‘collect’ ball each time.
