So Euro 2016 is past us, the Olympics are in full swing, and the football season is upon us, making this one of the biggest summers of sport we have had for a very long time, well, four years maybe.Either way, the taste for football is at a rare high at the moment, and Realistic Gaming are clearly trying to take full advantage of this opportunity with their latest slot release, simply called Goal!Football is one of the most popular sports on the planet and has inspired a surprisingly small amount of slots, all things considered, so there is some excitement around this new release.
About the slot
With five-reels and 10 paylines, the symbols on the reels here are footballs, whistles, boots, trophies, and more themed images.A good looking slot, it is within its features that Goal! has the most temptation for players.
Features
The main special feature here is an interesting and fairly unique one. Land three of the same symbol from top to bottom on any reel, and you trigger the feature.A football will flash, allowing you to randomly select a reel, the reels that do not contain that symbol will then respin, and land with one, two, or three of that symbol, which opens up the possibility of five-of-a-kind wins.
Cross-territory appeal
Speaking of his excitement at the release, Andy Harris, CEO at Realistic, said of the new slot:“The start of the new domestic seasons in Europe felt like a great opportunity for us to launch Goal! and I’m sure both slots and football fans will enjoy playing it. We have found football themes have had universal, cross-territory appeal in recent times, provided they have good maths models behind them, and we’re excited that this one will be a winner too.”
