Play Religion of Champions for Free

The layout of Religion Of Champions will certainly be familiar to anyone who has previously used Octopus Gaming games, with players only needing to concern themselves with two variable aspects – the number of coins wagered per line and the size of the coins being bet.

With players able to risk between 1 and 10 coins per line and the coins on offer ranging from $0.01 to $0.50, this means that Religion Of Champions can be played from between $0.20 and $100 per spin, making it a slot that is suitable for low and medium-stakes players alike.

For their investment, players will receive a minimum payout of 5x their bet per line for matching three of the game’s lowest value icons, while a jackpot of 1,000x your line bet is reserved for finding a wild symbol on all five reels. Scatter symbols also award a minimum payout of 2x your total bet, in addition to activating a free spins game where further rewards can be accumulated.

One of the most enjoyable aspects about Religion Of Champions is that all of the symbols featured on its reels are unique to the game. That means that the standard ace-through-ten playing card icons are replaced with traditional football paraphernalia including balls, boots, gloves and whistles.

A quartet of the tournament’s star players represent the game’s higher value icons, while a trophy bearing more than a passing resemblance to the official FIFA World Cup is both the jackpot and wild icon. The scatter symbol, meanwhile, is depicted as the tournament’s logo floating above the pitch.

In terms of audio, Religion Of Champions doesn’t really boast the same uniqueness present in its range of symbols. True, the cheers and chants of the crowd do make for a fairly suitable background ambience, but the sound effects for triggering wins are little more than standard slot machine sounds. The bonus feature does, however, include its own uplifting score to get you in the zone.

The main bonus feature in Religion Of Champions is free spins game with a twist. Triggered whenever three or more scatter symbols appear anywhere on the 5 reels, players will instantly be awarded a prize in accordance with the scatter payout table, but also receive 10 free games.

Before these games begin, however, an additional feature kicks in which randomly assigns one of the four higher-value symbols the status of Most Valuable Player. This turns that symbol into a scatter for the duration of the free spins, creating additional payouts whenever three or more are matched.

While there are no other mini-games in Religion Of Champions, it should be noted that the payouts in the base game can be pretty substantial thanks to the presence of stacked wilds. Appearing as a cluster of three trophies in a vertical column, at times these wilds will fill up an entire reel and create multiple winning paylines – especially when used in conjunction with the extra golden ball wild icon.

Although the cynics among you may have Religion Of Champions down as a quick cash-in on the football fever brought about by the last FIFA World Cup, the slot actually does a good job of holding its own against other titles in the Octopus Gaming catalogue. Despite not being particularly innovative, the game is well designed and features completely unique symbols, making it an engaging title that also awards some great prizes in its base game thanks to the presence of stacked wilds on its reels.
