Time to head to Russia and get fever pitch as this Footy Frenzy slot makes you go wild over this beloved sport.
With the iconic red Saint Basil Cathedral in the background, you know you are deep in Moscow for the Fifa World Cup 2018.
But this slot game should last much beyond this massive event thanks to some really fun wild symbols that pop up often to make you appreciate landing the perfect goal.
The graphics aren’t that impressive, but as we mentioned before in our football slots collection, it’s hard to be that different when all you’ve got is a black and white ball, some shoes, and a green pitch.
During any spin, the wilds on a screen can expand, or a football can appear, placing up to 6 random wilds on the screen.
Better yet, you might even get a whole host of wilds in different patterns (some even being mega symbols holding 2×2 or 5×3 space) spinning on the reels, and if they land they always bring with it a massive win.
Because this 20 payline slot machine has something that many games, like even modern fares like Dwarfs Gone Wild forget, and that’s ensuring you have some decent cash amount to 5 of a kind wins.
The free spins are no less fun, especially as you get even more wilds during this slot bonus.
Which is very low – we don’t usually play on anything less than 95% return to player rate. Even the Hugo Goal 3 reel slot has a higher rate at 96.49%
But we have to say that this rate really surprised us, as we had some blazing wins in here – over 130 times our bet during the free spins at one point.
So either the theoretical RTP doesn’t matter here much, or we got very lucky; probably the latter.
That said, you can win as much as 500,000 in cash which is pretty incredible for a video slot with a maximum bet of only 10.00 a spin.
This Footy Fever slot certainly managed to impress us, but we suspect it can be temperamental, so be a little careful when you play this casino game for the first time.

Expanding Wilds: The 'wild' symbol can expand to cover all or any of the reels it lands on.
Cloning Wilds: Sometimes, a wild symbol will randomly make a copy of itself over a neighbouring symbol. You can get a chain of up to 6 wilds, not unlike the Wild Toro slot machine by Elk.
Random Wilds: Wild symbols or any width and height can be placed anywhere on the reels to create a win.
Scatters and Free Spins: 3, 4 or 5 free spins scatters will trigger 7, 20, or 50 free spins. You get extra wilds during these bonus games.
Gamble: This is a fun way to represent a gamble feature. Instead of picking the colour of a card, you pick which team will concede next; the blue or red team.
It still amounts to a double or nothing game on your winnings, but it's a fun way to present it.
We kind of wish we could have added an extra star to this Footy Frenzy game, but the low RTP and generic symbols stopped us from committing to making this a 'must play slot'.
That said, if you like soccer slots with plenty of wilds, you'll probably find more action here than in your average football game, so it's well worth taking a couple of spins to see if this give you a bit of that world cup fever.
Add that there's that chance to catch 20 or even 50 free spins, and this certainly has plenty of appeal to casual gamblers with conservative budgets.
If not, there is always Bicicleta by Yggdrasil which is a damn near perfect footy slot game in our opinion.
