Football Mania Deluxe Review
A beloved sport through and through, football is loved across the world. It's a sport that unites people and brings everyone together to support one specific team. Naturally, Wazdan thought they'd celebrate the sport by creating a football inspired slot.
Football Mania Deluxe plays on 9-reels in a grid format of 3 x 3 with two big features to help you score the winning goal. Can you score big or will you get sent off with a red card instead?
Design
Impressively, the background of the slot is animated with various crowds of football fans waving different flags to show their support. There are also spotlights and a sunset in the background.
The reels are set on the pitch with a grid of 3 x 3. Each of the symbols on the reels features football symbols and different events such as tackling and the referee blowing his whistle.
There is a techno track that sounds inspirational and builds up the hype for the slot. The only disappointing thing has to be the lack of crowds cheering and ambient noises. It's strange to have them and build a world visually but not deliver with the audio.
Gameplay
In this slot, you don't have a traditional payline and instead match at least 3 different symbols. It's even easier than traditional slots as you just have to match at least 3 symbols on the reels.
All the menus can be found at the bottom of the screen with the spin button to the far right. To the left of the reels are the other menus needed whilst you can click at top of the reels to gain the paytable.
Win Potential
With RTP at 96.59% and an adjustable volatility level, Football Mania Deluxe is perfect for all types of slot players. If you prefer low volatility, you can adjust it to this level at the bottom right of the screen. The same goes for the high volatility players, you can just set it to this level.
According to the slot, you can win up to 1,000x your stake and this will most likely come from the bonus rounds. It's not a huge amount and might leave high volatility players a little disappointed.
Our Verdict
This slot definitely aims to score a hat-trick and comes extremely close to doing so. The design is unique enough but lacking just a little bit extra, whilst the gameplay is a refreshing take on slots and easier for newcomers. Of course, the adjustable volatility is interesting and unique but perhaps needed a higher payout to make it work.
We definitely recommend giving Football Mania Deluxe a spin if you are a slot fan and wanting something unexpected in terms of fun.
