Football Fortunes Slots

Football Fortunes - does this refer to the amount footballers are paid or to the possible prizes you might find in this game? We're hoping for a football-themed slot that manages to reflect the best bits of the game, but we'll soon see whether that's the case.

Developer details reveal a well-known name

They originally went by the Realtime Gaming moniker, but you might now know them as Spin Logic Gaming. They certainly know how to get the gaming part in top notch condition for a slot though.

Demo accessibility is fine for this game

You can trust in this developer to provide you with the chance to try this game before you do anything else.

You can guess what the theme is about

And you're right - there are no tweaks to this football-based theme.

The design highlights many aspects of football

If you love the game, you'll find the design appealing too. This is just as important as the idea of having a strong game to play. Fortunately, we think they have done quite well in the design stakes.

Let's kick off with a look at the main elements in Football Fortunes

The game is a little bigger than we expected, covering a 5 x 4 matrix. It also comes with two progressive prizes. The wild is a football, landing on reels one and five but not the three in the middle. It delivers a 2x boost if you find it in a prize-winning line. We also have a rhino as a scatter symbol, and while this might seem odd - it did to us - we think it is the football team's mascot.

This also explains one of the two formats you can play in. It's called Rhino mode, but you can also try Fortune mode. The free game feature changes according to which one you decide to go for.

This slot has 50 paylines

That's quite a high quantity for a slot game, so think about it when you look at your wagers for the game.

Speaking of wagers, let's look at the coins

These go from a penny up to 50 cents each at most. You then need to multiply whichever coin you use to get your bet for each spin. It does mean you're going to bet 50 cents per game to make sure all those lines are covered.

There is plenty of information displayed in the paytable

This makes it easier for you to read and understand what's going on in the Football Fortunes slot game. Take a moment or two to go through it before your first attempt to play this one - even if you've decided to stick with the demo.

Introducing the penalty kick bonus

We don't think we have ever seen a footballing slot that doesn't use this as the bonus round. It's predictable, sure, but it is a good one. However, it's tricky to reach here as you must be inside the free spin feature to get there. Even then, you'll only reach it if you land a bonus football on every reel.

If you manage all that, you can kick each ball you're presented with to see how many you can score with. Your prize is awarded according to how good - or bad - you were.

Free spins are triggered in one of two ways

If you decided to play in Rhino mode, you can look for the rhino mascot scatter symbol to unlock some free spins. Three, four, or five will produce varying amounts, with a maximum of 100 free games to pick up. All prizes bring a 3x boost.

If you are playing in Fortune mode, you get eight spins to play. These appear to be randomly triggered too, so you'll just need to look and see whether you might be fortunate enough to access them.

RTP details do not appear with Football Fortunes

No, there is no info involved with this one. There will be a figure though, and you might discover it at the casino you're playing this one at.

What did we think of the Football Fortunes slot?

We are not massive fans of the game, but we found plenty to appreciate in this one. If you do like football, we think it's going to be a great one to check out. There is enough here across the game to warrant 9/10 as a score.

When will the next progressive jackpot winner appear?

Who can say? Having two progressives does give this slot game another element to look at. The odds are long against anyone grabbing one of those, but it's nice to see them there, nonetheless.

The best way to begin this one is in practice mode

Give yourself time to experiment with both modes of play to start with. If you can reach the free spin feature in each mode, you'll also get a better sense of how they might pan out as you play.

Play for real if you love football

This slot certainly brings in several notable features that make it a delight to play. It does bring you lots of information and varied elements to look forward to.

Mobile gaming also available with Football Fortunes

Thanks to the developer being quite reliable on this front, you can play on your smartphone or tablet too.
