Special Features

The first feature to highlight is that the game features a unique Vertical Multiplying Paylines system. This feature is always active in the game and does not need to be activated by any special symbols. On the reels in the game, you have 5 vertical lines (21, 23, 25, 27, 29) which form vertically from top to bottom and another 5 (22, 24, 26, 28, 30) that form bottom to top. These lines have various multiplier values that range from 1X to 5X and are applied to wins that land on any of these lines. Keep a very close eye on line 30 as this offers a fantastic 5X multiplier reward.

The Wild symbol in the game is illustrated by the word ‘WILD’ displayed in an orange font with a dark blue background. Similar to most Wild symbols, its main function is to substitute for all other symbols apart from the Scatter to help contribute to winning combinations on the reels. This symbol is also the most profitable symbol in the game as if you manage to land 5 of these symbols on an active payline then you will be celebrating like you just scored a spectacular overhead kick with a top jackpot prize worth 3,000 coins!

The Scatter symbol is represented by an image of the Winner’s Cup trophy. Land 3 of these symbols anywhere on the reels to receive a 2X reward and you will also activate the Free Spins bonus feature where you will be awarded 10 Free Spins. Land 3 more Scatters while in this bonus feature and you will receive 10 extra Free Spins. You can check how many Free Spins you have left by checking the Free Spins counter which is displayed on the reels. Once all of your Free Spins have been used then a banner will appear displaying your total winnings and you will then be taken back to the main game.

Theme, Graphics and Sound

The graphics are top-notch and as you might expect, the game takes place on a lush green football pitch in front of a packed out stadium. The reels are situated just behind the net of one of the goals to offer a unique birds-eye view of the action taking place on the pitch. Symbols are football-related and consist of a Whistle, a Stopwatch, Boots, Gloves, a Football, as well as football jerseys of Russia, Sweden, Germany, and Brazil. The animations are excellent as symbols enlarge and pop brightly when part of a winning combination on the reels. In particular, I really liked how the background changes to a set of fans clapping hands whenever you trigger the Free Spins Bonus Game.

The soundtrack that accompanies the game is full of clapping sounds and noisy football chants. It complements the gameplay superbly.

Win lines, Payouts and Jackpots

The game has 30 paylines, a very good RTP of 96.61%, and a low maximum payout worth 300X your wager.

Below is a summary taken from the PayOut Table from the game. The amount won for each combination depends on the value of the bet when you spin the reels.

Our Verdict on Winner's Cup

This game is produced by Booming Games and is one of the best football-themed online slots we have come across in quite some time. It features fantastic 3D graphics, a lively soundtrack full of football chants, and a great range of bonus features to guarantee players hours upon hours of entertainment. The Vertical Multiplying Paylines system adds nicely to the gameplay and make sure to keep an eye out for line 30 as you spin the reels to land a 5X multiplier! I was also able to trigger the Free Spins feature quite regularly while playing and it is very satisfying that you can retrigger more Free Spins while in this feature. I found this slot to be of Low variance so you will find that wins occur quite frequently the more you play.
