Become A Tennis Pro At Australian Online Casinos

January 29, 2014

Tennis is one of the more popular sports in Australia that has produced champions like Rod Laver and Ken Rosewall. The Australian Open in Melbourne is one of the foremost tennis tournaments. Thanks to software providers Microgaming and Playtech, Australian casino players can wager on tennis themed pokie machines on their computers and cell phones.

The Microgaming tennis themed pokie game is titled Centre Court. The symbols on the reels include four tennis players in action, trophy, tennis ball and other tennis paraphernalia. The trophy is the wild symbol and it substitutes for other symbols to make winning combinations. Five trophy symbols in an active payline will reward you with the fixed jackpot payout of 5,000 coins. The tennis ball symbol triggers the bonus feature which awards 18 free spins. Each free spin has an independently determined multiplier that can go up to 5 times. Another feature of the free spins bonus that enhances payouts is the stack of wild symbols. You can activate the gamble game after any payout and try to double the amount. Centre Court is live at Microgaming Australian online casinos like Jackpot City and Spin Palace.

The Playtech tennis themed pokie game is Tennis Stars. It features four rows of symbols across the reels instead of the usual three. The symbols are similar to Centre Court. Three trophy symbols appearing only on reels 2, 3 and 4 award a bonus of 10 times the triggering bet and 15 free spins with a multiplier of three times. The tennis rackets will lead you to the even more exciting and lucrative Championship Bonus round. In this bonus game you will play a singles tennis match against the computer. You can choose to be the male player or the female player. The game also allows you to choose the type of serve. In the Championship Bonus round you will always win. If you beat the computer at a love game you will win 50 times your bet amount. And if you serve four aces your payout gets further multiplied 5 times. Tennis Stars is live at Playtech Australian online casinos like Omni Casino and Fly Casino.
