Rival Gaming anticipates the World Cup with Football themed slots

By Daniel Johnson

This June will see the start of the World Cup Football being held in South Africa and there is no way that the online casino industry is missing out on such a good opportunity. A whole host of new games and promotions connected to the world cup will be released and Rival Gaming has kicked things off with a three reel slot game called Global Cup Soccer.

This game is very simple and has no frills attached as such it stands out given the complexity normally associated with modern slot games. There are no free spins round nor is there a wild symbol. It seems that Rival Gaming is counting on worldwide football mania to attract players. However, the game is nicely designed. The title "Global Cup Soccer" is set against a background featuring the flags of each participating country. The paytable looks like a green football field and of course the symbols include football symbols. The highest payout can be won by the Referee symbol; there is also a football, gold trophy, silver trophy and bronze trophy. Single, Double and Triple bar make up the rest of the symbols.

The game operates with one payline like most other three reel slots. Coins range from $0.01 up to $5.00. Players can bet up to three coins and it makes sense to bet three because three Referee symbols will win more than three times the payout with three coins. With all other winning combinations the payout with three coins is three times the payout with one coin. However, three Referee symbols will pay 750 coins with one coin bet and 2500 coins with three coins bet.
