Number One

Number One, a jubilant football-themed slot from Fugaso, offers up to 20 free spins at a time, random wilds, and a multi win feature, as well as a gaming atmosphere sure to be beloved by fans of the game.

Theme

This slot has a stadium atmosphere, right down to the bright lights shining down towards players. The five reels are set within a goal, with an orange boot at one corner of the screen and a golden trophy at another. Gaming symbols include some of football’s most beloved and controversial figures, including Pele, Diego Maradona, and Christiano Rolando (whom this game’s designer’s have cheekily rendered wearing an “I heart me” jersey), as well as a set of olympic medals, boots, a set of whistle and red and yellow cards, raucous fans, and a diving goalkeeper. An “I heart soccer” symbol acts as wild (the game must have been designed with American gamers in mind), while a “goooooool” symbol acts as scatter. The overall gaming feel is celebratory and electric.

Betting Options and Functions

Any truly great footballer spends countless hours perfecting their craft, and the excellent design team at Fugaso has done the same here. There are a whopping 99 fixed paylines in this coin-based slot, each paying from left to right. Bet level is adjustable from 1-10 and coin value can be set from 0.01– 0.50, yielding an overall per-spin betting range of 50–250 coins, or 0.50–250.00 times the betting currency. Autoplay is on offer up to 100 spins at a time, with a variety of available limits on win, loss, and triggering of a bonus feature. Quick spin is also available for players who prefer a faster game tempo. The overall theoretical RTP is outstanding at 96.76%, with 4.5% of that based on jackpot.

Features

Of the bonuses included in Number One, free spins are regularly the most lucrative. These are triggered by the appearance of five or more scatter symbols on the reels. Between 12–20 free spins will be awarded, depending on how many symbols trigger the feature. All wins are doubled during free spins, and random added wild symbols appear on the middle three columns, further increasing the chances of a large payout. The feature can be re-triggered without limit.

There is also a Multi Win feature, triggered by any win in base play. Reels containing winning symbols are held in place while the other wheels spin again, giving players the possibility for any win to grow larger. The reels will keep re-spinning as long as there are new wins present.

Finally, all Fugaso jackpot series slots (of which this is one) offer three possible progressive jackpots: Mini, Midi, and Maxi. A total of 4.5% of each bet goes towards these three jackpots, which can be won on any spin and whose increasing value players will see on display throughout gameplay. Huge wins are possible here for players lucky enough to strike it rich.

Our Take

The world’s most popular sport was well overdue for an excellent online slot, and Fugaso has obliged. The features and theme will be enough to draw some players in, but the extraordinarily high RTP should be enough to bring even the most sports-averse players into the fold.
