NetEnt do not have a football slot, which is an odd and surprising piece of information to compute. Well, NetEnt didn’t have a football slot, but seven weeks before release, players have been treated to a sneak peek of Football: Champions Cup.The first hint that this slot was coming was in NetEnt’s Roadmap for 2016, which also announced the Jimi Hendrix slot for April, and Theme park: Tickets of Fortune for June.

About Football: Champions Cup

The symbols here are (go figure) football related, and this theme runs through every part of the game with the level of consistency that we have all come to expect from a NetEnt slot.You can pick which team you would like to play with at the beginning of the game, and this will subtly alter gameplay, so this decision can be vital. There’s a ‘surprise’ box you can select if you don’t fancy making the choice yourself.Once you start to play, the aim is to go through the stages of the competition all the way to the finals, winning more and more as you go along.

Features

The main feature round here is again, unsurprising, but impressive. This feature is based around a penalty shoot-out, pick a corner, take your shot, if the keeper goes the wrong way, you win.Not all features are within game, and there has already been suggestion of a promotion to coincide with the release of Football: Champions Cup that will involve a raffle, the winners of which get tickets to top flight football matches.NetEnt’s new releases have been met with joy and critical acclaim this year so far, and they show no sign of letting up yet!
