About The Champions Slots
Bets in The Champions online slots start out at 25p and max out at ₤125 for each spin. To begin play you must first pick the country you wish to play for, with all the 32 teams in this year’s World Cup being represented, just like in a video game.
The setting is unsurprisingly a football stadium, with a football pitch and stands crammed with fans to be seen. The standard playing card values make up the low-value icons, while goalkeeping gloves, boots, whistles and shirts act as the high values. The most lucrative icon happens to be the football and landing three and up of this icon on a payline leads to a payout that can reach to 20x of the initial stake.
Acting as the wild in The Champions online slot is a trophy. It substitutes for all other icons save for the bonus and grants payouts that can reach to 40x of the stake for each payline. A pair of bonus features are also supported. These are:
- Momentum Progressive Bonus: here, a target icon is placed over the reels. Should the football end up on this icon a goal is scored and the player levels up. Ten free spins are then awarded, with a multiplier being slapped on wins. Should the football again end up on the icon, the level is upgraded, and the free spins reset to 10. Here are the applicable multipliers:
- Level 2 = 2x
- Level 3 = 4x
- Level 4 = 6x
- Level 5 = 8x
- Level 6 = 10x
- Level 7 = 12x
- Level 8 = 14x
- Level 9 = 16x
- Level 10 = 18x
- Level 11 = 20x
- Penalty Shots Bonus: Activating this feature necessitates landing the bonus icon on reels 2, 3 and 4 during a spin. This grants 5 penalties and each penalty scored is good for up to 100x the line stake.
