The Major League Baseball season is about to end in the United States and the excitement of the postseason games is already in the air. Baseball themed slots are drawing high traffic at online casinos. This article reviews and recommends two of the best.

The Golden Glove is a MLB award and the slot game takes its name from that. It is a 20 paylines slot game with a maximum bet of $100, which is great for high rollers. The batter is the wild symbol. It appears only on the third reel but it makes up by substituting for the scatter symbol as well. This allows the bonus game to be triggered more frequently, which is a huge advantage. The wild symbol also doubles payouts. The other symbols from the baseball theme include cheerleaders, trophies and umpires. The Golden Glove symbol awards scatter payouts and it also activates the multi-level bonus game known as the Home Run Feature. You start with 9 free spins with doubled payouts. The letter H, I and T can appear on the reels and when this happens, the players on the screen move from one base to the next as in a real game, and can even hit a home run. The second stage of the bonus is the Grand Slam in which you get extra free spins for every home run.

King of Swing is the other baseball themed slot game. It creates the effect of being in a stadium through visuals and an audio track that has the crowds cheering. The symbols on the reels include gloves, trophy, baseball diamond, batter, pitcher, shoes, caps, cards, peanuts, hot dogs and sodas. The maximum bet is $125. The pitcher and batter are wild symbols. The pitcher appears only on reels 1 to 4 and the batter appears only on reel 5, but triples payouts. The pitcher and batter together trigger the free spins. First a baseball game is played out on the second screen and you will earn free spins and multipliers based on the batter’s performance. After three strikes or nine pitches this game ends and the free spins are played out. More free spins can be added.

Both these baseball themed online slot games are from the portfolio of the leading software provider Realtime Gaming. Realtime Gaming online casinos cater to players from the United States and offer slot games suited to their interests. Some of these online casinos include Club World and Slots Jungle.
