Football Carnival Introduction
Football Carnival is an exciting online pokie from Playtech. Combining the exotic atmosphere of the carnival with the challenge of a football game, it transports you to Brazil, where you can indulge your love of football and your love of free pokies at the same time! There’s a Samba soundtrack to keep you dancing and a mobile version so that you can play on your tablet or mobile phone wherever you are.
The Glorious Game
This game is your chance to play the World Cup in Brazil and win some prizes at the same time. It’s a five-reel pokie with 50 fixed paylines, and it offers the chance to win up to 3,000 times your initial bet amount. The initial betting stake starts at 0.50 coins per spin, although you can bet up to 25 coins on a reel. To really make this game pay out, you probably need to play all 50 lines.
The graphics are high-definition and high-impact. The reels are set against the backdrop of Rio de Janeiro as seen from the Corcovado hill, the site of the famous statue of Jesus that towers over the Brazilian countryside. The reels themselves are colourful, using stacked symbols for maximum impact. The main symbols are football players in different strips.
There is a blue-shirted goalkeeper leaping for a save, a striker in a white shirt kicking the ball, a red-shirted player celebrating a goal, and an orange-suited player doing a lap of honour. These stacked symbols cover at least two places on the reel and give the game a really impressive visual impact.
There is also a side view of the football pitch, an image of the statue of Christ the Redeemer, a Brazilian Carnival Dancer in a bikini (female, fortunately), a Brazilian Flag and the game’s logo in yellow and red.
Going Wild at the Carnival
The Wild Symbol in Football Carnival is the Football symbol - a yellow and green football, of course, in keeping with the Brazilian theme. These symbols can substitute for any of the others, and when two or more team up on your payline, they pay out bonuses in their own right. They are also the Jackpot symbol, so don’t take your eye off the ball!
Extra Time
The second symbol to keep a lookout for is the Football Carnival Logo. This is the Scatter Symbol and when three or more Football Carnival logos appear on the screen, you will trigger three free spins. The first two spins have a 2x multiplier; the next two have a 3x multiplier. The multiplier increases by one with every two spins, so your final free spins are worth 6x your bet.
You also get an extra wild during these spins, which sits on the centre reel and can really push your winnings skyward!
Simply Football
Football Carnival is quite simple. The game consists of a main game and a Free Spins Bonus Round. It’s a very straightforward pokie that looks great, has impressive visuals and a party atmosphere, and will delight football lovers and carnival goers alike.
