The free spin round cannot be re-triggered but it does include rolling reels.

Rolling Reels and the Wild Ticket Feature

In addition to the wild symbol and free spins, Cricket Star also includes rolling reels and a wild ticket bonus feature. During the free spin round, the rolling reels will come into play. When a win is created, the reels involved in the win will continue to roll until no more wins are possible. The wild ticket bonus is a random bonus feature that can happen at any time during the main game. Once triggered, three tickets will appear on reels 2, 3 and 4. A cricket ball is bowled towards them and the reels will fill up with wild symbols turning the reel completely wild. This gives players even more opportunity to create a winning combination.
