“Kick Off”, a new HTML5 online slot from developer Wazdan has joined the slew of football-oriented online games pushed out in time for the Euro 2016 football frenzy that will engulf Europe for the next few weeks.
Wazdan says the game does not feature typical reels: instead there are three animated football players who stand in a row and kick footballs when the spin button is pressed.
The symbols in the game are seven different balls: once three identical balls appear on the game screen, players are awarded with a prize. The size of the prize depends on the balls forming winning combinations as defined in the game’s pay table. There are Wilds and Scatter opportunities built in to the game.
The video slot draws three balls with numbers from 1 to 7 and to receive a reward the player must land three of the same numbers. The Wild substitutes for all other balls except for Gold footballs, which act as the slot’s Scatter symbol. Once the golden ball appears, it adds a ball in the bonus matrix and once three of them are collected in the bottom line of the bonus matrix table, or five of them vertically, a player id offered the opportunity to kick five penalties.
If these result in a score, the player reaps a reward which can be as much as 200 times the bet.
The innovative design and appearance of the new game, which is available on desktop and mobile channels, makes for a welcome change to the general run of slots currently available from most suppliers.
