Football Star Pokie Game Background

Football is also known as the beautiful game; a coinage popularized by the great Brazilian footballer Pele. The pokie, however, is no more or less beautiful than the other sports star pokies. In fact, they all look remarkably familiar. As they say, “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.”

The symbols displayed in the game show many of our favourite aspects of football such as: man kicking the ball, man kicking the ball in the air, man flying and kicking the ball in the air, and man kicking the ball with his head (which in the game is known as “heading” the ball). Symbols also depict the referee, the arbiter of a football match, as well as a pair of football boots, which are crucially important because of the prominence of feet in the football.

Pokie Features

Football Star, like the other pokies in the series, is a 3×5 reel video pokie with 243 pay lines. This means that as long as symbols match up anywhere on an adjacent reel, then it is a winning pay line. This is how a pokie that displays just 15 symbols per spin, is able to have such a remarkable number of ways to pay.

Players can win a maximum jackpot of 105,000 credits on Football Star.

The Football Star symbol is a wild which substitutes for all symbols except for the scatter symbol. These wilds become stacked on reels 3,4 and 5. What’s more, as an equivalent to both the Wild Wickets, and Wild Pass feature on Cricket Star and Rugby Star respectively, you have the Striking Wild feature. Reels 2,3 or 4 can turn wild randomly and give you a guaranteed win. The only downside with this feature is that Rolling Reels will not come into effect.

Speaking of Rolling Reels, it is one of our favourite features in all Microgaming pokies play. When you get a win in the main game, you can get multiple re-spins, increasing your wins exponentially. In the scatter-triggered free spins round, the Rolling Reels also play an important part.

Football Star Free Spins

In order to enter the Football Star free spins round, you must get 3 or more scatters (a football symbol) during the main game. The more you get, the better your free spins haul.

3 Football Scatters = 15 Free Spins

4 Football Scatters = 20 Free Spins

5 Football Scatters = 25 Free Spins

Free spins cannot retrigger during the free spins round. However, the rolling reels feature can award a multiplier worth up to 10x.

The scatter symbols in Football Star also pay out healthily in the main game before you’ve even triggered the free spins round. If you get 5 scatter symbols in one spin with a $50 wager, then you will win $12,500.

Despite this lack of bonus games, there are still plenty of features that keep the pokie thrilling. We are especially big fans of the Rolling Reels, but the Free Spins round is pretty great as well.

Football Star Free Play

Like many Microgaming pokies, Football Star is available in fun mode on many online casinos even without having to sign up. The RTP is between 96-97% depending on different sources. The pokie also has a medium variance – it pays out fairly frequently, and they can sometimes be quite large sums of money!
