Football Mania Deluxe Slot Review – Demo, RTP & Features

No prizes for guessing the theme of Football Mania Deluxe by Wazdan Gaming. This 3×3 slot might be all about football. But fans of classic slot action will also get a kick from it.

Founded in 2010, Wazdan Gaming has a reputation for traditional slots, typically featuring 3 to 5 reels and simple features.

For example, unlike many other developers, Wazdan has chosen not to licence BGT’s Megaways mechanic or develop its own version, instead offering unique mechanics like the “81” series, where Wild symbols increase paylines to 81 without altering the grid size.

Football Mania Deluxe is part of Wazdan’s Deluxe series, re-releases of older games with updated graphics and the occasional new feature thrown in for good measure.

This game doesn’t use traditional paylines. Instead, wins are achieved by landing the same symbols anywhere on the reels. You can win with combinations of four to nine symbols. Additionally, landing three football lottery tickets on the reels can lead to a cash prize.

Set in a vibrant soccer stadium on match night, the game features transparent reels that provide a clear view of the action.

Symbols include boots, whistles, hats, trophies, character symbols and, of course, footballs. The football symbol is particularly important, as it offers the highest payouts and can trigger bonus spins.

The RTP of 96.59% is decent and the betting range from 0.20 to 100.00 means that most players are catered to.

Overall, Football Mania Deluxe offers a straightforward and enjoyable gaming experience tailored to soccer enthusiasts and slot players alike.

Game Features

Block Symbols Feature

The game automatically locks any matching symbols that land in place for the next spin, even if they don’t initially form a win. This feature continues even after wins in a sort of reverse cascading reels procedure, heightening the game’s thrill and potential payouts.

Players also have the option to release the locked symbols, allowing all reels to spin freely in hopes of landing more valuable combinations.

Bonus Spins

Each football symbol that lands on the main reels will fill the corresponding position in the Bonus Spins grid beside the reels. Once filled, three football symbols on the reels activate nine bonus spins. During bonus spins, all landed football symbols remain in place for subsequent rounds, and each additional football symbol adds nine more bonus spins.

Football Lottery

Unlock the football lottery bonus by landing three football lottery tickets across the middle row. Choose from three tickets, one of which contains the prize. Select the correct ticket to claim your reward.

Gamble Feature

After every winning combination, players can opt to try and double their winnings. Clicking the x2 button opens a new screen where the player faces off against the goalie. Get the ball in the back of the net and the win is doubled, but if the goalie makes a save, the win disappears. Players can shoot up to 7 times in a row.
