Players can certainly earn a fortune kicking a football around, but how about the occasional player in this slot game? Football Fortunes is a title that doesn’t hide the theme, but does it still hide some surprises about the game? We decided to find out more about it.
Who came up with the idea behind the slot?
This is another great title to come from the minds at Realtime Gaming (RTG).
Did they give us the usual demo version too?
They did, as this is one of the most reliable elements we can get from any RTG game.
The theme pans out as you’d expect
It gives us some insight into the world of football, so if you’re keen to see this in another slot game, you’ve got the chance to do that here.
Take a moment to appreciate the design
The game has lots of details that draw you into it, making it an appealing one to play if you love football. And if you fancy a change, well… it ticks that box too.
Are you ready to begin playing this slot game?
You’ll see a five by four game screen appear once you’ve loaded the game, so there is a lot to get to grips with. The football was always a sensible choice for the wild symbol, so they’ve gone for that design here. You’ll only see it on the first and fifth reels though. Any wild-won prizes get 2x the usual values.
You can also look for a rhino on the reels, and yes, we did spell that correctly! A rhino must be the mascot for the football team, and it is used as a scatter symbol.
You can decide whether to play in Rhino mode in this game, or whether you’d rather play in Fortune mode. There are differences in the free games feature when you do this. And finally, the game has two progressive jackpots available too.
How many lines can you bet on?
You’ve got a generous quantity here – there are 50 of them to bet on.
How much will you need to pay to play this slot game?
The game comes with various coins, valued at between a penny each and 50 cents each. So, choose your lines and multiply the value of your coin to get the total spin bet.
Look for a burger to spot the paytable
Not a juicy burger but the regular three-line burger icon that hides the paytable in this game.
A familiar bonus game to find
Many football slot games use a penalty kick idea for the bonus, and this one does too. It’s great though, so we can see why. You need to go through to the free game round first, and then find a bonus football on all five reels to get it.
The idea is to try and get each ball into the back of the net. Your efforts are then rewarded with prizes based on your performance.
How can you get some free spins?
There are two ways to do this, depending on which of the two modes you choose to play in. The Rhino mode means you must find three, four, or five of the scattered rhino mascots to get there. All prizes are worth three times the usual amounts, with up to 100 games ready to be won.
If you go through via the Fortune mode of the game, you get eight free spins. However, there is no trigger for the game, so although the spin count is fixed, you never know when you might get them.
RTG hasn’t supplied the return to player value
We have seen this in many other slots from this developer, so we can guess there are no clear values for this one either, which looks to be the case.
Did we like this football-themed slot?
Football fans who love to play slots are going to love this one. It’s harder to enjoy if you don’t like football, of course, but we guess RTG has targeted this audience for a reason. If you love it, you might think this is a 9/10 game.
Progressives offer the best prize values
They can take a while to increase in value and to finally drop, of course, so you never can be sure when they’re going to be won.
Practice play in both modes is the perfect introduction
Football Fortunes is a great slot to play, but we think the demo is the best way to begin with it as there are two ways to play it.
You’re then better placed to play the real thing
You’ll know which version you prefer, so you can see if you fancy one or the other and then bet on the real thing.
You can also play Football Fortunes on a mobile device
Make sure you have the chance to play on a tablet or smartphone if you wish, as this gives you easier access to it no matter where you happen to be.
