Just like several other studios out there, BGaming also decided to capitalize on the ongoing FIFA World Cup 2022 in Qatar and produce one of the most exciting football-inspired online slots to date, the amazing Soccermania slot. And while it is true that BGaming didn’t bother to pay extra to obtain any official licenses for Soccermania, nevertheless, they still managed to produce a highly entertaining online slot. In fact, this slot even comes with only 3 rows, 3 reels, and 5 betlines, yet it’s better than most football-themed online slots on the market.

One of the main reasons why this is the case is because of the ingenious way that BGaming created Soccermania, where you get several ways to personalize your gaming experience. Moreover, despite the fact that this is only a 3-reel slot, they still managed to integrate a plethora of exciting bonus features that are sure to make your experience a bit more rewarding than you would normally expect. Consequently, it boils down to the ability and knowledge of the developer to produce unique online slots, and BGaming is certainly no stranger to this fact.

Theme & Design

Right off the bat, we will tell you that Soccermania is more like a Nintendo video game than a regular online slot. This means that you get cartoonish, yet high-quality graphics, as well as captivating animations that are just as good as they are exciting, including symbols that are inspired by soccer and the biggest tournament on the planet, the World Cup.

The best part of Soccermania is that as soon as you start the game you have to select a player and a country, and only then you can play the game. Even more fantastic are the unique features, such as the penalty kicks, which make this particular soccer game one of the best of its kind.

Features

As we mentioned above, Soccermania is a 3-row, 3-reel, and 5 betlines online slot that comes with rather high volatility, and a slightly above-average RTP of 96.34%. In addition to the flexible deposit limit of 0.10 and 250, this online slot also comes with a rather decent max win potential of 1.039 times your stake.

It has a total of 8 paying symbols that are consequently divided into 4 high and 4 low-paying symbols, as well a bunch of football-inspired symbols as well which are there to make your gaming as authentic as possible.

From here, the low-paying symbols, which are all the cards from Jacks to Aces, will pay 1 x your wager for any winning combination. The high-paying symbols, on the other hand, will pay you 4 x your wager for a combination. The thing to remember is that the most valuable symbols are the football jerseys/shirts, and landing a combination of 3 football jerseys on a payline will pay 60x your wager.

The rest of the football-inspired symbols include everything from referee whistles, football boots, football socks, and of course, football jerseys. Unfortunately, there are no Wilds in the Soccermania online slot. Yet the studio makes sure to compensate for this by adding Bonus Symbols that if landed properly, or on the 1-2-3 reels, can trigger the rewarding Bonus Game feature.

Speaking of the Bonus Game, the maximum number of Bonus Rounds in this feature is 5. The unique thing about the Bonus Game is that BGaming created the Bonus Game in the form of penalty kicks. More specifically, in each of the 5 rounds, the player will take a penalty by clicking on the ball. Moreover, in every corner of the goal, there is a different multiplier, and if the ball hits any of the multipliers, that value will be added to the cup. 

However, if the ball fails to kick the multipliers, then the Bonus Game will end. After the Bonus Game ends, the value of all the multipliers in the cup will apply to your bet. The amazing thing about Soccermania is that the multiplier from the Bonus Round can reach up to 999x your wager, and this amount will be added to your bet if he/she manages to win the precious World Cup. 

The best part is that even if you miss, you will get another chance, i.e. an additional, random payout that will come in the manner of a sponsorship. Shortly put, BGaming made sure for you to win regardless of the outcome.

Yet, the most exciting thing by far about Soccermania is definitely the customization options. More specifically, as soon as the game starts you are tasked to choose which player you are going to use to play in the World Cup, and eventually which country you are going to represent. Only since there are no official licenses for Soccermania, BGaming made sure to create its very own characters that also include the ever-popular Elvis Frog, which you may know from some of the provider’s previous releases such as King Elvis, for example.

• Johnny Cash
• Elvis Frog
• Dig Dig Digger
• Penny Pelican

And even if you are not satisfied with your character, or the unique phrases that he uses, you can always change the character mid-game. The only thing you need to do is choose the country that your character is going to represent (out of the participants in the World Cup in Qatar), and you are set for your Soccermania World Cup adventure.

Last, but definitely not least, BGaming added even a Buy Bonus feature in Soccermania for those who do not wish to wait and land the Bonus Symbols in a regular manner. More specifically, for 80x your wager, you can opt to purchase what is called the “bonus trigger”, which will then instantly land the 3 football jersey symbols on the reels, and consequently, automatically activate the rewarding penalty Bonus Game.

Final Thoughts

What can we say about Soccermania except that this slot is a perfect symbiosis of simplicity, attention to detail, and rewarding features? Especially since we are talking about a 3-reel and 3-row online slot that comes with only 5 paylines. Nevertheless, thanks to the brilliant minds behind BGaming, we get a highly engaging and surprisingly rewarding online slot, which thanks to the freedom of customization and its unique penalty feature makes for a truly unique slot experience.

The only “drawback” we may point out is that this slot will probably appeal mostly to the football fans out there. Yet, if we take into account how simple and exciting is this game at the same time, then it won’t surprise us if even non-footballing fans get interested. All in all, another amazing release by BGaming, and an online slot that definitely deserves more attention!
