Football Star


 

Football Star by Microgaming

If we want to enjoy some sporting action on the reels, Microgaming’s excellent range of slots here at Games Mania is always our first port of call. They’ve got plenty of bases covered with the likes of the ice hockey themed Break Away and even a cricket slot in the form of Cricket Star, but no selection of such slots would be complete without one based around football, or soccer depending on where you’re from. That game is Football Star and while all these sports slots are fairly similar, that is certainly not a negative factor as this game is exactly what players will be looking for if they have a passion for the beautiful game.

It’s a fairly recent game release and so the smart money would be on Football Star being played over 243 ways to win which is most definitely the case and the symbols are just as ideal for the theme as players would expect too. From star strikers to goalkeepers and referees to stadia, every base is covered on the board. The developer has played it safe when it comes to the wild card, opting for the Football Star logo, but the scatter is a little more imaginative, depicted as it is by a ball flying through the air.

Rolling Reels, Striking Wilds and Free Spins

Before we come onto the significance of the scatter, we’ll take a look at the feature that you’re likely to encounter first and foremost. Football Star, like many other sporting slots, not only uses 243 ways to win but also rolling reels. That means that a winning combination of symbols will see the icons in question disappearing from the board, with further symbols added from above to potentially create further wins without the need for a further spin. These rolling reels become even more significant within free spins as consecutive wins not only build your bankroll but do so even faster thanks to a progressive multiplier.

Those free spins are accessed with the aforementioned football scatter, with three or more awarding between fifteen and 25 free games depending on the number of triggering symbols. Fifteen spins are your lot as it is not possible to retrigger them within the round itself, but with the rolling reels multiplier making a huge difference, this remains the most potent element of the overall slot.

Rounding off the features is another base game bonus known as the Striking Wild. A ball will be unceremoniously kicked at the board, hitting one of reels two, three or four. Whichever one it strikes will turn completely wild and if that doesn’t lead to a win it’s no problem at all as that reel will remain wild until you win a prize.

Football Star is arguably the definitive football themed slot so if you love the game and want to introduce it into your reel based entertainment, go ahead and do just that with no download or deposit at the top of this feature!
