Swedish online gambling games developer NetEnt has flagged May 21 as the release date for its latest online slot, a football themed game titled Football: Champions Cup. It’s a canny bit of planning, with the massive Euro 2016 football tournament in full swing at that time and European interest in football at a peak.
The company has already released tantalising details and videos of the new offering to prepare the market for what is likely to be a popular slot with the punters; it’s a 5 reel, 20 pay-lines game set against a theme of a huge football stadium, replete with appropriate crowd and field sound effects and typically soccer symbols across the reels.
Interactivity is a strong element in the new slot, enabling players to build their own team strips or choose one randomly, and participate in the innovative bonus feature, the player selects where penalty goal shots should go.
