Football is the most popular sport in the world. Also known as soccer in the United States, this sport attracts the highest number of players, staff, and fans. NetEnt decided to base this video slot around football. Named Football: Champions Cup, the game is designed to attract as many gambling and sports enthusiasts as possible! What makes it special?
Theme
Football is chosen as the theme of the game. When you are playing you are at the stadium, which will give you the feeling as if you are participating in a game. The symbols are well-designed and divided in three parts:
- Low win – 10, J, Q, K, A;
- Medium win – a whistle, a glow, football boots, a jersey and a player;
- High win – a trophy and a bonus.
The graphics are excellent, which is just another day at work for the NetEnt. Instead of music, the chants and cheering of the crowds is used, increasing your immersion in the game!
Betting Options and Other Functions
Football: Champions Cup comes with 3 rows, 5 reels and 20 paylines. The reels are transparent with the outline of the football field seen behind it and the logo of the game. The paylines are indicated from the sides and they shine after a winning combination lands on a payline.
The coin value can be set from 0.01 to 0.50. The minimum bet on a single payline is 1 while you can place up to 10 coins on one payline! All of the controls are placed under the reels and they are clearly indicated. Some of the options include “Auto Play” and “Max Bet”.
Features
Wilds, bonuses, scatters – all of that is included in the game. Wild symbol replaces any other symbol except the scatter and bonus. The fun features are the following:
- Overlay Wild – Between 2 and 5 can appear during the main game and they cannot land on top of the other symbols, a scatter or a bonus.
- Free Spins – This feature is interesting because it shows the knockout stage in the Championship tournament with flags of countries. At the beginning of the game you select the flag of your favorite country and this is where it is used. The maximum number of Free Spin rounds is 4 because you advance from the Round 16 to Quarterfinal, Semies and then the Finals. The goal is to win it all!
- Bonus Game – It is a 5-round penalty shootout! Firstly, you pick one of the four positions marked on the goal and try to score. After that, you are a goalkeeper who selects one position trying to defend.
Last but not least, scoring wilds are also available, but they only appear in the Free Spins round. Namely, you are playing a game and one team is red and the other one blue. A red scoring wild landing on the reels means that the red team scored a goal. And vice versa. The winner of the game progresses to the next round of the knockout stage.
Our take on Football: Champions Cup
Even though Football (read soccer) has appeared in numerous video slots, it takes a lot of creativity to make this kind of game interesting. NetEnt managed to get the job done with great graphics and awesome bonus features!
