Hockey Hero Online Slot: Full-Reel Player and Wild Symbols; Respin and Free-Spins Features!
Hockey Hero is a 40-payline online slot by Push Gaming, showcasing images of Ice Hockey Players and related objects across five (5) reels of four (4) stacked icons. Set against a background depicting an ice hockey stadium, images of Hockey Players in Red, Blue and Green uniform appear as full-reel symbols. Actually, even the Gold Trophy that symbolizes the Wild card comes into view as a 4-tier high icon.
Those full-reel images are not only good as stacks of 4 identical symbols in a single column. Push Gaming configured the Player Symbols as trigger images of the Hold and Respin Feature. Moreover, Wild and winning Hockey Player icons currently and subsequently emerging as respin outcomes, lock in place during the free turn. In the Bonus Round, only one (1) Hockey Hero will be in play, appearing alongside the Wild and the lesser paying symbols.

Hockey Hero Online Slot: Hold and Respin Feature
Any of the three (3) Ice Hockey Heroes can initiate the Hold and Respin Feature by landing as a full-reel icon in Reel 1. During the respin, all images of the triggering Hockey Hero and the Gold Trophy Wild, whether partly or completely in view, will be locked and held in place. If that respin produces more Wilds and same player images regardless of size, another Hold and Respin Feature launches.
A series of respins is possible to take place. As reels continue to respin, Wilds and images of the triggering Hockey Player could fill up the entire slot screen. It might interest players to know that the Red Hockey athlete has the highest paygrade, awarding 4x, 40x, 150x, or 250x the coin bet per line on two or more winning images.
In the event this icon triggers a series of Hold and Respin Feature, a substantial Super Mega Win could happen when all or nearly all reels are filled with Red Player and Wild Symbols!

The Gold Trophy Wild has a a locking mechanism that is triggered during a Hockey Hero Respin. It can also trigger another respin if another Wild emerges and locks in place.

The Goal icon represents the Bonus Game trigger-symbol. Three (3) or more of the Goal image, emerging simultaneously in any position, initiate the launch of five (5) Free Games. Here, the bet-free spins are played on bonus reels containing only the Puck, the Helmet, the Skates, the A, K, Q, and J symbol, and only one Ice Hockey Hero.
