Review of Baseball Slots Game

The modern era is making sports which were once seen as being the province of certain parts of the world – for example baseball and the United States – genuinely global, and the huge popularity of baseball in the Dominican Republic is testament to this. There could be a number of explanations for this, including the increasing success of the country’s baseball team – who recently won the World Baseball Classic, and the number of players from the country competing in Major League Baseball now, but the rise of online sports betting probably played a part in it too.

After all these are two pastime which have been enthusiastically embraced across much of the world, because the rise in online sports betting has made it easy for people in any country to secure odds information and place bets on the MLB World Series – and other sports – wherever they might be based. Being able to follow and gamble on these matches online makes these sports much more appealing to people in other countries and, when you then factor in the availability of baseball slots games at online casino sites, you have further encouragement for people in places like the Dominican Republic to discover the joys of MLB baseball.

One of the best of these baseball slots games is undoubtedly Hot Shot found at places like Jackpot City, a five reel, nine pay line video slot. From the minute you start it is baseball all the way, with the reel icons being of familiar baseball sights like pitchers, hitters, catchers’ mitts and a baseball, all set against the background of a lush green field. The sound effects utilized in Hot Shot are another reason why it is such a good game, with crowd sounds heard throughout, but rising from a murmur to a roar when you score a win with the gold trophy scatter symbol – while normal winning reels are greeted by the sound of a bat whacking a baseball. You stand a pretty good chance of winning money by playing Hot Shot too, thanks to the nine pay lines and the presence of a wild symbol (the burning baseball).

Corpus Christi Hooks game photos and Dominican baseball players

The Dominican Baseball Guy got the fist chance of the year to catch his hometown Corpus Christi Hooks in action.  Whataburger field in Corpus Christi is one of the best settings in minor league baseball.  This year, the Hooks feature Jimmy Paredes, one of the top prospects in minor league baseball.  They got him in the trade for Berkman to the Yankees last season, and re-signed him this off-season.

Paredes was the only Dominican baseball player on the Hooks to see action in this game.  He went 1-4 and made a few good plays at second base.  The Dominican Baseball Guy got a few good pics of him in action (#24 below).  Paredes is from Haina, Republica Dominicana.

The Hooks took on the Tulsa Drillers.  The Drillers had two peloteros Dominicanos play in the game.  Hector Gomez (San Pedro de Macoris, Republica Dominicana) went 2-6 and scored 2 runs.  Wilin Rosario (Bonao, Republica Dominicana) was 2-5 while playing catcher.

The Drillers won the game 9-6, and there was some good action with the Drillers putting up five runs in the seventh inning.  Since it was Friday, the Hooks had post game fireworks, and a free concert on the outfield starring...wait for it...Neal McCoy.  Yea, he is a country singer whose last hit was in the 90's the Dominican Baseball Guy thinks.

Here are the photos of the Corpus Christi Hooks v. Tulsa Drillers:
