An ace up the sleeve of the slot world: Microgaming's 'Centre Court'

Are there tennis fans here? If you are looking for a related Slot If the focus is on the yellow ball, “Centre Court” could be from the house Microgaming be the right game for you. I took a closer look at the classic and will tell you in my following review whether the game is still worth it.

Design

“Centre Court” from Microgaming cannot be compared with new slots. The game has been around for a few years now and as a result the presentation seems very old-fashioned. Basically, almost every previous Microgaming game looked exactly like this - just with symbols swapped out to match the theme. The simple look makes the game seem very clear at the same time, which could definitely be seen as an advantage by some players.

Gameplay

The gameplay of “Tennis Court” is really extremely simple, because there are no big surprises. The game is played on a 5 x 3 playing field and there are up to 9 paylines that can be adjusted according to your needs. The aim is to simply collect three identical symbols from left to right on a winning line. For the higher-priced symbols, even two are enough.

The higher symbols in the game are the various tennis players, which can pay out up to 3.500 times the stake if they accumulate five times on a payline. Even more valuable is the Match Point symbol, with which you can win up to 4.000x. As always, the classic card symbols are worth less, but the prices are still impressive, especially when they are fivefold.

Other special features

Wild Symbol

As a Wild symbol is the tennis cup. It can replace all other symbols except the scatter and in this way create additional winning combinations. The symbol itself is also very valuable, as if you accumulate five times on a payline you can win up to 5.000 times your stake.

Free Games

To trigger the free spins round, you need at least three tennis balls on the court, regardless of where they are. You can secure up to 18 free spins in “Centre Court” and these are really tough thanks to the multipliers used. In the best case scenario, you can secure a 5x multiplier here, which will increase your winnings immensely.

risk feature

The risk feature is an indispensable feature of older Microgaming slots. After a win, you can double it by choosing a playing card color in the risk game - i.e. black or red. If you are correct with your guess, your winnings will be doubled. However, if you are wrong, your winnings will be lost.

Odds of winning

You can play the Center Court slot from Microgaming from just 9 cents if you have activated all lines. The maximum bet is again 22,50 euros, also with all lines activated. Since the game is a medium volatility There are always profits to be seen that aren't all that bad. However, it's not quite as convincing payout ratio of the game, because this is only 95,51%.

My personal opinion:

“Centre Court” is a typical Microgaming classic that doesn’t have nearly as many features to offer as you’re used to with newer slots. However, if you are looking for an easy-to-understand slot that is also suitable for beginners and that also offers good chances of winning, I can definitely recommend this game.
