Play Mario's Cup for Free

Football just keeps the world spinning round. The beautiful game is by far the most loved sport on the planet, with major leagues in countries all major continents providing entertainment for the masses week in, week out. As old Bill Shankly once said, “some people think football is a matter of life and death... I can assure you that it is much more serious than that.”

Football fans can now get stuck into some football themed slot machine action with Mario's Cup. The game is a novelty style video slot with 3D graphics and some stunning animations, providing plenty of footy action as the reels spin. Some of the symbols on the reels include some of the must-have props for any football match, from linesman's flags to football shirts, referee whistles, goalkeeper gloves, football boots and, of course, a football! The online slot also features a cast of characters with a Pierluigi Collina-esque referee as well as a goalkeeper and a superstar striker.

The mid-level variance rate of this slot machine ensures that the game is an open-ended affair. Players have every chance of lining up some decent wins at a relatively steady rate, which means plenty of exciting spinning entertainment for the neutral. The size of the prize isn't too bad either, with a top line bet multiplier jackpot worth 5,000x whenever five wild stadium symbols appear in a row. This wild icon also has the ability to replace any other line bet paying symbol on the reels to complete winning combinations.

It is possible for punters to play with 1, 3, 5, 10, 15, 20 and 25 paylines at any one time. Although, for a maximum winning potential, it is better to play with a full line up of paylines – you wouldn't want to play a football match with just one player would you!? The minimum bet with all 25 paylines in play is quite low at just 0.25 credits while the maximum possible stake is 25.00 credits.

Every football team needs that extra spark to help them win a game, whether it is a star striker, a fortuitous referee decision or a stand full of fans urging them on. This slot machine offers up a bit of help too thanks to its trio of bonus features, all of which are triggered whenever certain scatters appear in any reel position.

Mario's Cup gives punters the chance to play some football themed spins in a novelty setting, similar to Carnival Cup by Nektan and Football Cup by GamesOS. Admittedly, the cartoonish nature of the game might not appeal to every football fan out there and, if you are after something with a bit more intensity then you can check out Football: Champion's Cup by Netent.

Mario's Cup aims to tap into the popularity of the world's favorite sport by kicking off some fun and exciting footballing action. The game's novelty design makes it accessible to a large audience, although some punters may find it a bit too gimmicky, especially if they are no-nonsense non-league fans! Nevertheless, the game's trio of bonus rounds is sure to attract many spinners with the opportunity to win extra prizes on top of the 5,000 coin base game jackpot.
