Experience the atmosphere of a big game with Football Glory, the online slot from Yggdrasil. Football truly is a beautiful game, and now's your chance to play in a packed stadium - but you'll be playing reels, not passing on the pitch. You might not be a football millionaire, but there's still an opportunity to win a substantial cash prize with up to a potential x4000 available.
With major football tournaments coming around every two years, there's plenty for footie fans to enjoy. But just in case there's a lull in the real-life action, there's a whole host of football-themed slots to get stuck into. These include Football Rules, Football Star and Shoot!, to name just a few…
The gameplay for Football Glory is set on a 5x4 board with 25 traditional paylines. Betting runs from 0.25 to 125.00 total per spin, with volatility running at medium. This means that it's not as easy to land the really top prizes, but there should be a fairly regular stream of wins, providing the game plays out as expected.
Yggdrasil is renowned for creating slots with stand-out graphics, but that's not really the case here. The reels hang in the centre of a packed stadium with floodlights shining down onto the pitch. The visuals are passable but rather tired, and if you're looking for any famous footballing faces, you'll be disappointed.
The rather basic design continues in the paytable with playing card royals for the low pays. The high pays include goalkeeper gloves, a net, a football plus four fictional footballers.
There is a wild on the board which can land to replace any of the regular pays.
The design of the game might be lacking, but Yggdrasil makes up for it by packing the slot full of features.
The Gold and Silver Cup feature can trigger randomly at any time; the symbols for these land on reels 5 and 4, respectively. Both award cash prizes plus a selection of bonus features, including wilds, multipliers and free spins.
The free spins bonus round is normally triggered by landing three or more scatters. If the Gold and Silver Cup feature lands while these are being played, any extra free spins are added to the total. The free spins round can’t be increased or retriggered in any other way.
During free spins, a special mode will be activated. This is chosen beforehand and includes:
During Superstar Mode, the footballer will always score and will also turn into a sticky wild. During regular free spins, the footballer will try to score and, if successful, will turn into a sticky wild - but there's no guarantee.
In both the base game and free spins, footballers landing will add to their Glory meter. When full, seven free spins will be awarded with that player in Superstar Mode.
Football Glory from Yggdrasil doesn't look particularly inspiring but go beyond the tired graphics to discover a game that's brimming with action and potential prizes.
