PlayTech has launched a new online pokie just in time for the World Cup 2014. Football Carnival is a new 5-reel 50-payline pokie that features vibrant graphics and is based on football scene in Brazil. It is certainly appropriate for this time of year, and we can see it being a huge hit at online casinos. With 50 paylines, Football Carnival provides players with plenty of chances to win big.
Players can wager on any number of paylines to suit their budget. The symbols include a wide range of Brazilian symbolism, including carnival dancers, Brazilian flags and the Christ The Redeemer statue. The yellow and green football is the wild symbol, which substitutes for all of the other symbols aside from the scatter. Football Carnival also features stacked symbols.
The four football players appear on different coloured backgrounds, and they can be stacked to take up an entire reel. This provides players with the chance increase their winning potential and cash in on multiple prizes at once. When the logo symbol appears three times on the same payline, the play triggers the free spins game. During this round, the player wins 10 free spins and all wins are multiplied by two.
After every other free spin, the multiplier increases to a maximum of 6x by the end of the round. Players also benefit from the addition of an extra wild symbol during the free spins game. It will not be easy for PlayTech’s Football Carnival pokie to stand out in the gaming market at this time. Many other developers like IGT and Microgaming have already launched their own football-themed pokies, so the market is quite saturated.
Still, PlayTech’s shot at the Brazilian football theme is great, and we hope that it will get some attention from punters during the World Cup.
