You have probably heard that the 2018 FIFA Football World Cup in Russia is just around the corner, mainly because now that the Royal Wedding is out the way, it seems to be all that anybody is talking about!The online casino industry has never been one to miss the opportunity to capitalise on a trend, and as a result, there are numerous football slots that have been released recently.One of the newest to be added to the market comes via Pragmatic Play, and it’s called The Champions.
About the slot
The Champions is a five-reel slot that’s playable from 25p to £125 a spin on all compatible devices, and takes you straight to the heart of World Cup football.The first choice you will have when opening up the slot is to pick the country you would like to represent you in the game, from the 32 qualifiers for the World Cup.The symbols on the reels, which include boots, a football shirt, a whistle, and more, will change colour depending on the team you choose, so it’s as much an aesthetic decision as a patriotic one.The slot looks great, with a football pitch in the background, as one would expect, but it’s the features that are really fun.
Gameplay
There are two main features here, firstly the Momentum Progressive Game feature, where a target appears over the reels, and if the football lands in that position the multiplier will build up to a maximum of 20x your bet.Then there’s the Penalty Shots Bonus feature, where you will have five penalties, score one for 5x your stake, and five for 100x your stake.Many football games may have been released recently, but few of them have the depth and quality of this excellent slot from Pragmatic Play.
