Play Football for Free

Football – the beautiful game. Whether you are a die-hard footy fan who sings from the terraces or an arm chair supporter who moans from your living room, you cannot deny that football is the best sport on earth. As Bill Shankly famously said: “Some people think football in a matter of life and death. I assure you, it's much more serious than that.”

Now, football fans can play for some serious prize money with this Proprietary Games slot machine. The game takes place in a packed-out stadium that is filled to the rafters with singing fans, while the reels themselves are shown upon the pitch – the perfect playing surface for players who want to string together some neat payline movements for a winning combination of symbols. Those symbols include a number of colourful football shirts and some footballers in action. There is even a comical depiction of a referee brandishing a yellow card.

The overall appearance of this football-themed slot machine is slightly silly. The use of two-dimensional cartoon graphics gives the game a novelty feel that is light-hearted, making it quite a contrast to more serious football slots such as Football Star by Microgaming and Champions Cup by NetEnt.

You don't need to be a superstar striker to find a winning move in this online slot machine. That is because the low volatility video slot offers wins on a relatively frequent basis, allowing spinners to rack up plenty of small wins in an action packed game. The downside to this free-flowing tiki-taka gameplay is that punters may have to practice a bit of patience before they can start to turn the small wins into meaningful returns. The line bet multipliers begin at just 3x – a prize that is awarded whenever three matching hat icons appear on a payline. In reality, punters will have to match up at least four or five icons on a payline to make any meaningful gains to their betting balance. The biggest line bet multiplier on offer is worth 1,000x, and players can win that prize by finding five referees on a payline. This slot machine features a wild symbol – represented by the football boot – that will potentially fill in winning lines by replacing ordinary game icons.

With all 20 paylines in place, the maximum possible bet is set at a staggering 200,000 game credits – they do say that the price of football is getting a bit ridiculous! Luckily, casual punters can enjoy the game from the cheap seats with a minimum bet worth just 20 game credits.

Avid football fans can get the full experience with this slot machine by Proprietary Games thanks to a range of special bonus features. These side games are triggered whenever three, four or five matching bonus trophies appear in any reel position. There are three bonus features to play, each of which offers a different way to win:

Bonus 1: this game will test players' nerves with a penalty shoot out. Punters simply need to guess which way to shoot and they will potentially be rewarded with a bonus prize.

Bonus 2: enter the locker rooms and open up the closets to reveal special rewards. Players can win some bonus money if they reveal an item of a footballer's kit or a sneaky lady hiding in the locker. If you open the door to reveal the skeleton then you will not win a penny.

Bonus 3: the ball is up in the air in this bonus side game and players must select the player that they think will make contact with it. Each player offers a different bonus prize.

Football is a fairly conventional slot machine in terms of the theme and design. That is to say that there is nothing overly adventurous or unique about the popular sport-based theme. However, this game does have its merit when it comes to the bonus gameplay elements because, with three unique bonus games, players of this slot machine can enjoy much more than the action taking place on the pitch.
