There has been talk of Net Entertainment releasing a football themed video slot for quite some time now. Last week, we heard rumour that the new game would be launching around the end of May, putting it just in time for the Euro 2016 tournament. Given that new information, we assumed that the upcoming Football: Champions Cup would be related to that particular tournament. However, it isn’t quite as European Championships themed as you might like to think.
Bland Features
Schedule for release on May 23, this slot is actually more generic than expected. Initially, one would have imagined that there would be some kind of international flags and symbols tied in with this game. However, it does appear to be rather bland in terms of the imagery it features. Net Ent are obviously thinking that making a general football themed slot might still give it appeal after the tournament has ended this summer. There are many of those slots around though, so not focusing on the Euro 2016 tournament itself may have been a bit of a faux pas by the Scandinavian online casino software developers.
Penalty Shoot-Out
What the game does have it a penalty shoot-out bonus though. This feature should see players able to pick a corner of the goal and if they manage to score then they can pocket cash prizes. If the keeper saves it though, you won’t win.
Select Your Team
Players can select a team at the start of this game, and that will marginally affect the outcome of the slot. Namely the stages where you can progress through the qualification rounds of the Champions Cup. It is hardly going to alter gameplay much though.Sadly, players might be expecting a little bit more action than Net Ent’s new Football: Champions Cup slot is able to give.
