Lace up your skates and be a Hockey Hero

There was great news for hockey fans this week, as the NHL lockout is finally over. If you're excited for the season to finally begin and want to let loose some of your hockey fervor before the games begin later this month, strap on your skates and head over to Intertops casino and give Hockey Hero a spin.

Hockey Hero is a five-reel, 25-payline video slot that features hockey-related symbols such as skates, tickets, pucks, goalie masks, beer, a referee, a goalie, a player and a penalty box.

The player symbol appears only on reels two and four replaces all symbols except the penalty box scatter symbol and doubles all line wins. Three or more scatter symbols will send the player to the bonus round, where up to 18 free spins can be awarded.

During the free spins round, peanuts are immediately removed from the reels, and every three spins, a new symbol is removed, making winning combinations easier to hit. However, as symbols are removed, clocks are added to different reels. The free spins round ends when either two clocks appear on the reels or when 18 spins have been completed. The free spins round also features a great soundtrack of power '80s metal guitar, perfect for the game.

One of the most frustrating things about games with free spins is when you hit the free spins round but don't win anything. Hockey Hero solves this problem with its Win-Win feature. If the free spins feature ends with nothing in the win column, the Win-Win feature kicks in and rewards the player with 200x the triggering bet. Free spin wins of less than 2x the triggering bet win an additional 20x, wins of 2x or more but less than 5x get 10x, and wins of 5x to less than 10x get an additional 5x. In other words, when the free spins feature is triggered, the player is guaranteed to win at least 10x the triggering bet.

Don't get stuck in the penalty box – head over to Interops Casino and aim for the five-hole and you just might discover that you are a Hockey Hero.
