The sequel of the popular Football Star video slot was released to coincide with the Euro 2020 football tournament, but unfortunately, the tournament was cancelled. Even so, football fans among gamers can spend their summer with some hot action coming from Football Star Deluxe, a five-reel video slot brought to us by Microgaming and Stormcraft Studios. The 2020 release is packed with action, as it offers 5 additional features. Enjoy Rolling Reels, Striking Wild, and the Free Spins feature with Multiplier Trail and Growing Wilds. The trick is to land successive wins during the Free Spins feature, in order to boost your multiplier up to 8x and win up to 3,200 times the bet per spin.

Football Star Deluxe features five reels, five rows and can benefit from 18, 38, 68, or 88 paylines. It will be up to you do decide how many paylines you want to play with. With more paylines, the price of the bet is going up, but also the RTP of the game, starting from 96.16% and going up to 96.88% when you pick 88 lines. The slot pays left to right, starting from the leftmost reel, with three of a kind being the minimum for landing wins. Bet from $0.18 to $44 per single spin. Before that, set the number of paylines, the coin value and the number of coins you want to place per line.

Five Players are on the pitch and each of them is battling for a different team. They act as high-paying symbols The Ref is also there to make sure everything goes according to the rules. Every player needs a Shirt and Shoes for the game. Also, we have a full Stadium among the icons. The goal is the Trophy, which is the Scatter that triggers free spins. The Logo is the Wild that substitutes for all regular symbols.

Wilds tend to land in stacks on reels 3, 4, and 5 during the base game. Also, thanks to the Striking Wild feature, one of the football players can randomly appear and turn reels 2, 3, or 4 into Wild reels for secure wins. The Wild reel will not be removed until there are successive wins.

Thanks to Rolling Reels, after every win in the base game, winning symbols are removed, leaving the blank spots for new icons to appear. Rolling Reels are active both in the base game and the Free Spins feature, triggered by three Trophy Scatters. Players get 12 freebies with Growing Wilds and Multiplier Trail.

During the Free Spins feature, thanks to Growing Wilds, Wilds will be super-stacked on reels 2, 3, 4, and 5. Every spin will bring a new Wild on the reels. The Multiplier Trail will increase the win multiplier after every successive roll, going up to 8x.

We are huge football fans and are also big fans of the original video slot from 2014, so we were eager to try out the sequel. We were not disappointed with what Football Star Deluxe has to offer. Plenty of additional features that help you land big wins, crisp graphics, and a matching soundtrack. Our personal favourite is the Free Spins feature, with Growing Wilds and win multipliers going up to 8x. We are positive that every spinner out there who tries the 2020 release will simply love the Microgaming title.
