Football remains not just one of the most popular sports, but also one of the most talked about aspects of popular culture around the world. This is an industry that’s enchanted millions of fans throughout the generations, with players, clubs and countries representing their hopes and dreams.
As Euro 2024 continues to go off successfully in Germany this summer, the tournament has acted as an inspiration for more innovation and creativity in the iGaming industry. The online casino scene is awash with online slot games today, with all kinds of slot categories and themes to choose from, including those based on football tournaments, icons and teams around the world.
Below, we look at some of the latest football-themed slot releases to reach our desktop, laptop or mobile screens this summer.
Gold Trio Football!
Playtech is the mastermind behind the new Gold Trio Football! slot. Played across 30 paylines, this dynamic slot celebrates the beautiful game. The three coloured coins are the game-changing symbols in this slot. Look for the blue, red and green symbols. When they appear they can add more gold to their prize pots, giving you a chance to trigger free respins and you can also win Mini, Minor and Major cash jackpots.
Ronaldinho Spins
The Brazilian phenomenon, Ronaldinho, even has one named after him. In fact, it’s one of the latest slots in the market right now, after Booming Games announced an exclusive partnership with the former FIFA World Player of the Year in 2023. The legendary skills of this playmaker are mimicked by the all-action features, including expanding symbols, free spins and much more.
Goal Blitz
1X2gaming has unveiled its new Goal Blitz slot, just in time for Euro 2024. Featuring all kinds of paraphernalia from the football pitch, including linesman flags, football boots and VAR screens, Goal Blitz is a wild on-field slot experience. It’s quite a simple 5×3 reel grid layout, but the immersive themed base game symbols and audio effects make for a stadium-style slot session.
Maradona
The late, great Diego Maradona is widely considered one of the finest footballers to have ever graced this planet. The Argentine, who passed away in November 2020, has a slot game based on his legacy, developed by Blueprint Gaming. It is a five-reel slot with free spins and a “Cash Collect” feature which claims all visible multipliers and payout values.
This quartet of slots are sure to keep football crazy fans entertained for hours on end. It’ll be fascinating to see which former players will be the faces of the next online football slot releases. Who knows, there could even be nods to former Premier League managerial greats? Imagine a Liverpool-inspired slot based on the departed Jurgen Klopp or a Manchester United slot inspired by the legacy of Sir Alex Ferguson. Drama!
