Sport is a fairly popular theme for online casino game developers, and they are frequently developing slot machines inspired by different disciplines. These include car racing, snowboarding or football which are covered in games like Nascash from Saucify, Ice Picks from Rival or Champion's Goal from Elk Studios. In the following review you will find out a little more about the last game I mentioned.

General overview

The slot machine Champion's Goal has 5 reels and 20 paylines. The special symbol of the game is a wild symbol. The special features allow you to trigger various original features that are called Free Kick, Sticky Corner and Cascading Tifo, and some of these offer re-spins. It is also possible to win free spins. It is also important to note that the blue symbols pay from left to right and the red symbols pay from right to left. The other symbols are neutral and pay in both directions.

Range of wagers

Before you start spinning the reels you can select the value of your bet from the following range: 0.20, 0.30, 0.50, 1, 2, 3, 5, 10, 20, 30, 50 and 100 €/$/£. This means that the range of bets is wide enough to please the majority of players, the players with a higher and with a lower budget.

Betting strategies

The video slot Champion's Goal also offers to set up one of the 3 proposed betting strategies in the set up phase of the game. Jumper is going to increase your bet after each win, up to 4 times your base bet. This betting strategy resets after a losing round. Leveller offers two levels to increase your stake after five consecutive losses. You start with your base bet after every victory. Booster offers a level of increasing your bet after each loss until it reaches 4 times your base bet. This strategy resets after you have a win.

The wild symbol

The title of the slot machine is the wild symbol. This symbol can replace other symbols to form or to complete paying combinations. However, it cannot replace the special symbols that show a balloon, a trophy or the referee.

Cascading Tifo

Once you get a square formed of a block of 3 by 3 symbols of the same colour (either red or blue), you start the Cascading Tifo feature. This square is then held on the screen and you receive 3 free re-spins.

Free Kick

Every time you manage to get a symbol of a ball you trigger the feature called Free Kick. All symbols that are on the same line as the ball will then disappear and leave their place to other symbols from above. You will then get a new configuration of the screen that can award you money. Winnings are then multiplied by x5.

Sticky Corner

When you get the symbol with the referee you start the Sticky Corner feature. This will give you a free re-spin with a wild symbol in each corner of the screen.

Free spins

When you get 3 symbols with the trophy on the third reel you win 7 free spins. During these you can get additional free spins every time you get a trophy symbol on the screen.

Champion's Goal from Elk Studios has a pleasant atmosphere which should please many fans of football. The game also offers entertaining game content and is rich in original features. The slot has a low variance and a relatively high payout rate of 95.7%.
