Football Frenzy

It’s well known that football competitions trigger the most interest among mostly male audience, football star-wannabes, and girls who dream of becoming football wives. In line with this, all online slots related to the football theme always see their share of success, and Distance Gaming’s “Football Frenzy”, whose release was conveniently timed for the Euro 2012 tournament, is no exception to the rule. However, opinions about it seem to be divided among its players, and here’s why:

“Football Frenzy” Characteristics

The first thing you’re bound to notice as soon as you open this 5-reel, 9-payline game are its basic graphics - we do have all the well known football props and types of kicks there, but one opinion is that their presentation on those symbols is like one of the more successful takes of a beginner graphic designer. Still, others found a deeper meaning in this basic graphical solution, opining that the slot is intentionally done that way, to bring the retro spirit of old football video games back into our homes. Having in mind that other Distance Gaming slots feature much more complex graphics, the latter option is more likely.

Moving on to the sides of “Football Frenzy” that everyone found amazing, you’ll absolutely love its payout rate! It’s one of those slots with typical Distance Gaming left-to-right and right-to-left payouts, which increases the number of winnings significantly. Besides, it’s a game that’s very affordable for a longer period of play, as it supports coin amounts from 1 cent to $1, which means that on the maximum number of 9 lines, your bet can be as small as 9 cents. Of course, the maximum $9 bet is hardly enough for midrollers, let alone hardrollers, so this may be considered to be the slot’s downside for those with deeper pockets.

Special Features

Just like in most other Distance Gaming slots, special features don’t come in abundance. What’s more, “Football Frenzy” is among the titles with most features in the software developer’s portfolio. And it has just wilds with multipliers, and scatters.

But, believe it or not, this is quite enough to make your play both enjoyable and lucrative. This is because wild goal symbols appear very often and replace other regular symbols, at the same time doubling the prize when one or more of them take part in a winner; while the scatter pays any and multiplies the total be when two or more of them appear anywhere on the reels.

Conclusion

And while there are things about this slot you may not like, the most important thing is there - winning! This is one of those games where you don’t lose much, but may instead win a nice sum, and this is what makes “Football Frenzy” a recommendable title, despite its basic sound and graphical solutions.
