Play your way through to the final round to win big prizes!
Football Championships Cup is a 5 reel game, with 20 paylines and you can bet up to 10 coins on each payline.
The ‘Football’ symbol is Wild.
There are three bonus features when playing Football Championships Cup. The first bonus feature is activated when you receive three or more of the ‘Bonus’ scatter symbol anywhere on the reels. When this happens you’ll be taken to a new screen to play in a penalty shootout. There are 5 rounds and each round consists of 2 parts. In the first part you select a section of the net to try and shoot past the opposing team’s goalie. Each goal scored adds one to your team’s score and awards a coin win. In the second part you select an area of the net to defend to try and prevent the opposing team scoring. For each goal saved your win multiplier increases by one. At the end of the bonus feature your coin win will be multiplied by your total multiplier.
The second bonus feature is activated when you receive the ‘Trophy’ scatter symbol anywhere on reels 2, 3 and 4. When this happens you will enter into a football tournament. There are 4 rounds in the tournament each consisting of 6 complimentary spins. During the complimentary spins a ‘Blue Scoring Wild’ is added to reels 1 and 2 and a ‘Red Scoring Wild’ is added to reels 4 and 5. Each time you receive a Blue Scoring Wild your team’s score increases by 1 and the Red Scoring Wild increases your opponent’s score by 1. The team with the highest score at the end wins the round. In the case of a tie additional complimentary spins are played until one team wins. If your team loses you are out of the tournament. If you finish 1st, 2nd or 3rd in the tournament you win an additional coin prize of your bet multiplied by 500, 100 or 20.
The third bonus feature is activated randomly on any spin and overlays between 2 and 5 randomly selected symbols with Wild symbols. Football Wild symbols will not be overlaid.
Conclusion
Football is never going to be a favourite theme for me, so perhaps I’m not the best person to listen to on football themed games. But putting my own biases aside, this game has an attractive House Edge and a selection of bonus features that are worthy and engaging. The complimentary spins tournament is particularly well integrated into the theme and entertaining to boot.
