Play World Soccer For Real Money With Bonus
World Soccer Slot Machine
Given the widespread popularity of football (including at the Olympics), one might wonder why there is a lack of slot games based on the world’s most beloved sport. SkillonNet has taken a step to address this gap with their game, World Soccer. However, it seems they might have missed the mark.
Promoting an Unfavorable Concept
Women’s football has made significant strides in recent years, not just in the high-profile USA, but also in other prominent regions where it is gaining more credibility. This game appears outdated even before considering its clunky graphics.
The backdrop features a football stadium, complete with a cheering crowd, falling ticker tape, and a view of the goal line at the bottom of the screen. The scene exudes a festive atmosphere. In the top right corner, the name lights up sporadically in orange letters with an ’80s video-style effect, with a soccer ball replacing the O in World. Betting details are displayed at the top, and the sides of the reels are flanked by betting lines resembling stadium seats. The alternating orange and yellow background colors clash, although having the symbols in a circular form was a good choice.
Yet, the main attraction is unmistakably the portrayal of attractive women representing 8 different nationalities. While the Italian and Mexican women wear the most revealing outfits, all of them gaze flirtatiously at the screen. Notably, the Dutch and English women wink suggestively when forming a winning combination.
Just a Game
The gameplay itself is straightforward. Players can place bets ranging from 1 to 100 credits and select between 1 and 30 pay lines. The options include a ‘Bet Max’ for those feeling lucky and an ‘Auto Roll’ feature for a more leisurely approach. Since there are no specific settings, players may find themselves back in the game sooner than expected.
Accompanied by a standard heavy guitar riff, the game stands out with its football-style chants when scoring points. The crowd animatedly celebrates as the ball rolls across the grass, adding to the festive ambience. However, the prolonged celebratory sequences, highlighting each winning line number, can quickly become tiresome.
As depicted on the green paytable, the Dutch woman holds the highest value with a potential score of 5,000 credits. Following closely are the South African fan with up to 4,000 credits, the English fan with 3,000 credits, and the Italian fan with 2,000 credits. The eighth icon is worth a maximum of 100 credits.
Additional Features
The game offers various bonuses. Landing 5 icons of the English girl holding a cup in a single spin could earn players up to 18,000 credits and a chance to play the trophy game. By selecting 6 out of the 9 trophies, players can hit the jackpot. Even if a player misses one, they still receive credits but go back to the main game.
Your progress towards the goal is visually tracked during the main bonus. With each bonus card, players receive 100 points, propelling them closer to the goal. Upon reaching the halfway mark of 1,000 points, players select a footballer and try to predict when they drop the ball while performing tricks.
Reaching 1,000 points leads to an exciting shootout scenario, allowing players to choose between being the goalkeeper or striker, aiming to score or save penalties by selecting one of six directions. Success grants two more chances with increasing difficulty and credit rewards. Additionally, the Scatter symbol (a joyous man in a red shirt) offers up to 12 free spins, while the burning football Wildcard can substitute any of the 8 women symbols.
A Winning Goal
Your overall opinion of the game may hinge on whether you perceive the depiction of scantily clad women as playful and amusing or as antiquated and sexist. Despite lackluster graphics, cramped design, and irritating sounds, the bonus games, especially the shootout feature, provide entertaining moments.
