World Cup Heroes Slots
As easily the most widely popular sport on the planet, Football (or Soccer, as our friends in the US are prone to calling it!) plays a huge part within the confines of many, many different cultures all across the world. With this in mind, it should come as very little surprise at all that perhaps the world’s most renowned slot games developer, OpenBet, has created an all new video slot based upon the most famous footballing competition of them all: the World Cup.
World Cup Heroes is exactly as you’d imagine it. As a fully integrated and highly intuitive interface, the game offers players a unique opportunity to immerse themselves directly into the excitement and high stake atmosphere of a competitive football match - but from the comfort of their own home…
The Stats
Of course, before we can talk more about how playable and realistic a theme the game offers to those who are truly passionate about the beautiful game, we are probably best off crunching some numbers. Agreed?
This game operates upon a 5 reel, 9 pay lined system, making it slightly different to the majority of slots out there at the time being which boast 20 paylines. Some people prefer this lesser amount and some are most comfortable when they have as many active pay lines as possible. Whatever your preference may be, don’t let it put you off this game for too long, as there’s still plenty of opportunity to win big here.
The Design
The way the game is designed is blissfully simple and easy to get your head around within a very short space of time. Each of the 5 reels are set inside their own respective goals and the symbols on show across the reels include an array of football related items, for example whistles, flags, scoreboards, footballs and football players; alongside less obvious items such as golden globes, lions and ace, King, Queen and Jacks, all complete with various international flags in their backgrounds.
As can be expected given the current level video slot game technology is now at, each of the symbols display simple (yet very effective and alluring) animations when they feature as part of any winning combination. It’s probably also worth noting at this point that all symbols pay left to right as well as right to left, which is a rare function, though still one that is widely appreciated by the vast majority of gamers today!
Play the Penalty
World Cup Heroes packs one bonus round. This feature is perfect for football fans of any preference as it offers a chance to become an integral part of the team at the most crucial of stage of many matches – the penalty shootout.
The Penalty Shoot Out bonus is triggered when at least three scoreboards are scattered across the reels. The feature offers players the chance to win multiples of their entry stake simply by making several selections which dictate the direction of a total of four shots at goal. Each time the player hits the net they will multiply their stake by x5, x25, x100 or x250. However, as soon as they miss the bonus round will come to an end.
It Shoots, It Scores
If we’re being completely fair, the World Cup Heroes slot is far from being the most unique football, or for that sports-themed video slot available on the market right now. However, one thing that it does provide by the bucketload is entertainment. That in itself makes this a game worth tracking down and having a go on.
