Free slot: Football Glory

How Football Glory works

In the world of online casino, sports are very often the central subject of a slot machine. You can be sure that if a sport exists, then it has had its slot machine adaptation. And the slot we're going to talk about today focuses on what is perhaps the most popular sport in the world: soccer! Welcome to Football Glory, a slot machine straight from the studios of online game provider Yggdrasil Gaming!

Released during August 2020, Football Glory slot takes you to a soccer field where fame and fortune await you if you are lucky! The game grid is very classic, with 5 columns each containing 4 symbols. The graphics are correct, without being extraordinary. As for the sound effects, Yggdrasil is simple but effective, reproducing the most common noises during a soccer match. The basic game has several features, while it will be possible to get free spins in Football Glory.

The first feature present in the basic game uses the symbols represented by the different players. Indeed, you will notice at the bottom of your game grid a progress bar for each player. Your goal, in addition to making wins, will be to try to fill these progress bars. When this happens, the player in question will go into Superstar mode, i.e. Wild Sticky, and the bonus game is triggered with seven free spins.

The second feature of the basic game, on the other hand, is triggered when you get a silver cup on the fourth reel or better yet, a gold cup on the fifth and final reel. When you do, you'll get a draw where you have to choose between five balls, which can contain :

• Cash Cup: 2 to 40 times your original bet or 7 to 21 free spins

• Golden Cup: 10 to 400 times your starting bet, 7 to 21 free spins, Superstar free spins or a fame boost

Football Glory is a slot with a volatility that is considered average, with a payout ratio (RTP) of 96%, which puts it right in the middle of the pack of slots on the market. As for the maximum payout, it is 4,000 times your original bet, which is a nice jackpot to try and win.

The different symbols of Football Glory

Football Glory is a slot machine that has several symbols, which can be grouped into two categories: common symbols and premium symbols. There is also a Wild symbol, which can substitute for any symbol except the Scatter, which can be useful for making a connection.

First of all, there are the common symbols, of which there are four. They are so called because they are symbols that tend to appear more regularly, but are less profitable. They are represented by the highest values in a deck of cards:

• The Jack (J), which can pay you up to 1.6 times your original bet

• The Queen (Q), which can pay you up to 2 times your original bet

• The King (K), which can pay you up to 2.4 times your original bet

• Ace (A), which can pay you up to 2.8 times your original bet

Below are the potential payouts for each common symbol in relation to a one euro bet.

Then there are the premium symbols. They are considered premium because they are much more lucrative, but as a result, they appear much less regularly. There are also four of them, and they are represented by different players:

• The player with the green background, who can bring you up to 6 times your initial bet

• The player with the blue background, who can win up to 7 times your original bet

• The player with the red background, who can bring you up to 8 times your initial bet

• The player with the yellow background, who can bring you up to 10 times your original bet

As with the common symbols, below are the potential payouts for each premium symbol in relation to a one euro bet.

To finish with the Football Glory symbols, there is also a Scatter symbol, represented by a symbol that says "Free Spins". This symbol can be interesting because it is the one that will allow you to access the bonus feature, which we will discuss later in this article.

Connections in Football Glory

On the Yggdrasil Football Glory slot, the connection system is like its game grid, that is to say relatively classic. Indeed, on this slot, you have no less than 25 fixed paylines to allow you to make connections. You can find these different lines in the screen below.

In order to make a connection and win a sum of money, all you need to do is make a minimum of three identical symbols appear on the first three reels, and that they are part of one of the predefined paylines. Note that the further your connection goes, the bigger the winnings. In addition, connections in Football Glory only work from left to right.

How the bonus works in Football Glory

As previously mentioned in this Football Glory review, you will be able to unlock free spins. All you need to do is to get a minimum of three scatter symbols on your grid, which will automatically get you 7 free spins. But if you manage to land more, then you can get more free spins, up to 21, which cannot be retriggered.

Before the bonus feature even begins, you are entitled to a random bonus from this selection:

• All Star Free Spins: All soccer symbols are in Superstar mode

• Starting Wild : a sticky Wild is added

• Wild Reel : a Wild Reel is added

• Free Spins: 1 to 3 free spins are added

• Extra Cups: 5 extra silver and gold cups are added to the rolls

The bonus feature works exactly like the base game, with one exception. Every time a player symbol appears, it has the chance to turn into a sticky wild if it scores a goal.

Please note that you will not be able to purchase the bonus feature of Football Glory.

Our opinion on Football Glory

It's never easy to make a slot based on the most popular sport in existence. Here, Yggdrasil Gaming fulfills its role by offering a more than correct slot. The graphics are satisfactory, without being extraordinary, as are the animations. The sound effects, on the other hand, correspond to what we expect, that is, the atmosphere of a soccer match.

The basic gameplay is pretty basic, but the presence of progress bars for the symbols represented by players is quite novel and rather nice. But it's really the free spins that will give you the best chance of hitting the Football Glory jackpot, which is 4,000 times your original bet.

Football Glory is a slot machine that is considered to have average volatility and an RTP of 96%, which puts it right in the middle of the pack among slot machines on the market.
