Football Frenzy (RTG) Review

RTG are one of the few developers that supply their games to US online casinos, which automatically makes their releases interesting. After all, US players don’t have much to choose from. Thanks to Football Frenzy, there’s at least one fancy football-themed online slot available to US players – and we’ll walk you through all its ins and outs in this online slot review! To kick things off, let’s start by saying that it all takes place on 5 reels, 4 rows and 50 paylines.

The theme of Football Frenzy is all about football, of course, though there are no official licenses the slot could take advantage of. Those are so hard to come by that it’s not a surprise. In any case, the slot does a good job providing you with the atmosphere of an important football match, even if its graphics are starting to show signs of aging.

There’s no official word on the game’s volatility, but we estimate it to be medium-high. The maximum possible win is 50,000x your bet per line, but the slot’s progressive jackpots are typically even more exciting. The minimum that you can play for is £0.50, while the max bet stands at £12.50. The theoretical RTP of Football Frenzy is unknown – RTG usually don’t publish this info.

Football Frenzy Slot Features

The symbols of Football Frenzy are all thematic, which is great to see. It simply wouldn’t be great to see card ranks in the mix. Well, there aren’t any here! The low-paying symbols show beer, whistles, scarfs, trophies, and football emblems. They can pay up to 200x your bet per line, while the rewards for high-paying symbols can be up to 500x your bet per line. And what do these symbols show? Well, you can look forward to referees, fans, goalies, and even footballs.

Aside from pay symbols, there are also 2 special symbols in Football Frenzy – Striker Wilds and Stadium Scatters. Striker Wilds can show up only on reels 1 and 5, but they actually double all wins in which they feature, which more than makes up for that limitation. Stadium Scatters, on the other hand, pay out from all positions and also trigger the Free Spins feature.

Crucially, you can choose from two gameplay modes in Football Frenzy. If you pick the Striker mode, all your free spins wins will be automatically tripled. If you pick the Lucky mode, on the other hand, you’ll have a chance to trigger the Free Spins feature at random at the end of any spin, even without any Stadium Scatters in view.

The normal route of triggering the Free Spins feature goes, of course, via finding enough Stadium Scatters on the board. You’ll get 8 free spins for 3 Stadium Scatters, while 4 Stadium Scatters will bring you between 10 and 25 free spins. Finally, 5 Stadium Scatters will bring you between 50 and 100 free spins.

Retriggers are possible during free spins, while Striker Wilds can appear even on the middle reel during them. You can also win the Penalty Kick Bonus feature by finding Bonus Ball overlays on all reels during free spins. This is a small minigame that will have you kick penalties, with the top prize clocking in at 900x your bet!

Finally, there are also two progressive jackpots that you can win at the end of any spin. It’s all random, though, there are no features tied to these jackpots.

Review Summary

Even several years after its original release, Football Frenzy is one of the best football-themed online slots out there. It’s thematic, it has two progressive jackpots, and there are even two modes for you to choose from. Could you really ask for anything more from a football-themed slot?
