The Champions unveiled as the next World Cup slot to launch
At a time when new football-themed slots are coming thick and fast, players are going to be spoilt for choice when it comes to new games to play. This week Pragmatic Play have decided to jump onto the football-themed slot bandwagon just in time for the World Cup. The world’s premier football event, which is due to kick-off in just over 2 weeks’ time makes the ideal launch date for The Champions.
About the slot
The Champions launches as a 5-reel, 25-line slot machine, and one which has plenty of proper football bonuses to throw players’ way. To kick-off with (no pun intended), players will get to choose 1 of the 32 teams in the tournament as “their team”. This changes not only the look of the slot, but also the bonus round.
Bonus features
That bonus round offers a penalty shoot-out feature and one which can see players pocket instant win prizes based on their success. Slot home past the keeper to win prizes, but if you miss, you are not only going out of the competition but also missing out on some top prizes.
The dreaded penalty shoot-out isn’t the only bonus in this game. The slot also has a Momentum Progressive Game bonus, which is activated when players land footballs in target boxes on the reels. In the feature, players will get a handful of free spins, as well as the chance to ramp up their wins with multipliers which could be worth up to 20x.
Pragmatic Play’s new football-themed slot, The Champions, couldn’t have a better launch date. It will face fierce competition from rival developers’ slots, but with so many of those games being far less serious, The Champions could just be the pick of the litter this summer.
