Football Glory

Although it is not certain whether the World Cup will play or not it has not stopped the developers at Yggdrasil to make the most of the football fever. There are bound to be many slots developed on this theme but the first is usually the most popular and what every other slot will be compared to. This slot is a good start to the season, and it has many good points and is not short when it comes to the features as the developers have packed them in with plenty to land, activate and collect. This could become a go to for fans during half time. If you are ready to sound your whistle and let the game commence read on.

Football Glory Overview

There is a distinct lack of places where you could site a football themed and unsurprisingly the developers have chosen the most obvious which is right in the middle of a stadium filled with fans.

Only time will tell whether other developers will jump on the band wagon and be more imaginative. The setting for this slot is natural and executed really well, the game plays out over 5-reels, 4-rows and 25 fixed pay lines, as so all of the pay lines are always in play and there is no option to lower them. Whilst this may not be the most visual perfect from Yggdrasil, I feel sure it will still hold its own

Now you know what to expect, it is time to lace up your boots and select the bet you want to use and this starts from a minimum of 25p per spin up to a maximum of £125 per spin and with this range it is sure to appeal to a wide audience, whether football fans or not. It has been classed as having a medium volatility with a solid return to player that stands at 96.1%. You can expect to come across the usual spin and auto play buttons however you will see that located under your reels are four meters. These meters are the games Glory Meters, and these are filled when you land the right wins. In this game winning combinations are formed when you land three or more of the same symbols next to one another running from left to right.

Symbols

When it come to the symbols there are rather disappointing as they are average, and the developers have not really channelled that far into the theme. When it comes to the lower paying symbols there are the usual playing cards Jack through to Ace and the higher paying symbols are four nameless soccer players that are kitted out in green, blue, red, and yellow. The yellow players are the most valuable and will reward you with 2.5x your stake for landing five of a kind. Football Glory is not the type of slot to use famous players, it feels more as though this slot was put together in a hurry to launch as soon as possible as opposed to a no expenses spared type of project. You will also come across a wild which is represented by the golden symbol and this can not only substitute for all the symbols to create winning combinations it also makes an appearance during the features too.

Features

There is no shortage of features on offer in Football Glory, however whether you get to see them all is down to luck. To start there is the Gold and Silver Cup feature. This feature is activated at random and this can come into play no matter where you have got to in the game.
If you land the silver cup it will reward you with 50 – 1,000 coins plus 7 – 21 spins in the base game or 50 – 1,000 coins plus 2 – 4 free spins, a wild reel and 1-2 extra wilds during the free spin feature. The gold cup will reward you with 250 – 10,000 coins plus 7 – 21 spins, All Star glory Spins, and the Glory Boost in the base game or 2 – 4 free spins, a wild reel and 2 extra wilds during the free spin feature.

The next important symbol is the Free Spins scatter, when you land 3, 4, or 5, on your game screen in view you are rewarded with 7, 14 or 21 free spins, respectively. Unfortunately, the bonus game cannot be reactivated, however it is not too bad as the extra free spins can be awarded from the Gold and Silver Cups. When playing the free spins the higher paying symbols provide you with the opportunity to score goals and if you manage they turn into sticky wilds, plus prior to the feature starting you are randomly awarded with either all of your players bestowed with active Superstar mode or you start the feature with one sticky wild in a random position, you may also be given a sticky wild reel or you could be rewarded with 5 additional silver or 5 additional gold cups to improve your chances of landing some wins.
Finally, every time a high paying combination lands the respective meter is filled with Glory, and when the meter is full it activates 7 free spins with that specific player in Superstar Mode. This means that whenever the player symbols land he is guaranteed to score a goal and

On a final note, each time a high pay combination lands, the respective meter is filled with Glory. When a Glory Meter is filled, it triggers 7 free spins with that specific player in Superstar Mode. What that means is that whenever that player symbol lands, he is guaranteed to score a goal and transform into a sticky wild.

Conclusion

Football Glory could be confused with Yggdrasil’s Viking slot and although I would not rate this as the best slot ever, but the features do make up for a lot of the slots shortcomings. This slot is more suited to players that are happy to play the waiting game and would not suit those who are looking for a quick thrill, this is really only because of the amount of time it takes for the features to show up. If you are not into the whole collecting things to activate the features, then you may not appreciate Football Glory.

Overall, Football Glory could be perfect for recreational players that enjoy slots that are packed with features but maybe not the most exciting for those who are looking for an upbeat challenge. All in all, I would rate the slot at 6.5/10 which is not bad, but it is helpful if you are a fan of the game.
