We have been waiting for a fairly long time for a new release form Cryptologic and at last they have just released two football themed casino slot games.

The first is called ‘Football Frenzy’ and it contains a number of new features. At first the player must select which team they wish to play as from a possible eight, the flag symbol then becomes the selected nation’s flag. It also assumes the role of background to the other symbols such as spectators, girl fan and trophy. In the bonus round the home team competes against the opponent team, in this round the player receives eight free spins. If the home team flag appears on the first reel during a free spin then the player scores a goal, if the opponent’s flag appears on reel five then the opponents score a goal. Both teams score a goal if the shootout symbol appears on reel three. The player receives a payout of 1x the bet for each goal they score at the end of the free spins. If the home team has won then the payout is doubled, if there is a tie then another 8 free spins are awarded to decide the winner.

The second game ‘Striker Fortune’ is a novel game. The game is set on a football field, the player chooses a team and an opponent team is assigned. When you click on play the positions are filled by players from the teams or the trophy symbol. Although there are no paylines there are 99 ways to connect reels 1 and 5. A connection is formed by aligning players from the same team horizontally or diagonally across the reels. Payouts are made depending on how convincing the home team’s victory is, there is no payout if the team loses. There is also a bonus round which can payout up to three times the bet.
