Football Star

Rolled out in May 2014 as an homage to the 2014 World Cup, Football Star video slot by Microgaming can turn casino gamers into real celebrities. Football fans everywhere will particularly enjoy the familiar theme and the aptly-designed game symbols, but all types of slot players are likely to be impressed by several innovative features that include exploding symbols, Rolling Reels and Striking Wilds, in addition to the high-value Free Spins round.

Rather than the conventional paylines, Football Star houses a 243 Way Wins scheme, which basically means players will receive a payout for three or more matching icons occurring anywhere on adjacent reels. This option will set you back some 50 coins per spin, and that does not look too pricey given that your winning chances will be seriously increased. Every time a winning combination occurs, all symbols that formed it will explode, allowing other icons to fall from above and potentially award additional wins. Football Star Logo is Wild and it appears Stacked on reels 3, 4 and 5, substituting for all game symbols with the exception of Scatter, which is represented by Football.

Before they embark on this exciting adventure, slot players need to select the size of their total wager. And while 50 coins will be staked per default due to the 243 Way Wins scheme, they can further increase the amount by betting up to 10 coins per imaginary payline or 500 per spin. Meanwhile, there are a total of four coin denominations, ranging from $0.01 to $0.10. Considering that exploding symbols will ensure the winning combinations occur more frequently, it is hardly surprising that payouts in the main game are not exactly mind-blowing. Nevertheless, you can still win cool 5,000 credits should you happen to receive five football players wearing a number 19 jersey anywhere on adjacent reels.

High-value symbols are depicted as football players captured in action, with a goalkeeper making a save and four outfield players shooting, heading, tackling and performing a bicycle kick respectively. Referee, number 10 jersey, stadium and football cleats act as low-value icons, whilst Football Star Logo and Football are the special symbols. The Free Spin round can see you land up to staggering 105,000 credits and it is activated when three or more Scatter occur anywhere on the game screen.

A total of 15, 20 or 25 free games are played, where the Rolling Reels feature can award multiple successive wins and add multipliers up to 10x on every spin. Striking Wild feature can occur randomly at any time and it will turn reels 2, 3 or 4 into Wild with a guaranteed win. Football Star game was launched simultaneously on desktop and Microgaming’s HTML5 platform that is compatible with just about any mobile device that can establish an internet connection. Mobile gamers are in line for a seamless gaming experience on the move, with things getting really exciting when winning symbols start exploding on the screen. Stacked Wilds, Rolling Reels, Striking Wild feature and Free Spins round are also in place to boost your line wins.
