As you would expect from a soccer-themed slot, most icons are related to the match. A whistle, a goalkeeper’s gloves, sneakers, a team jersey and a white ball can be found on the playing field.They are joined by playing card royals. The golden cup is Wild, while the country flag represents the Bonus symbol.
When the soccer ball lands on the same position as the highlighted spot, the progressive multiplier bonus is triggered. You get a total of 10 spins, which are not free and you have to repeat the same feat. If you succeed in scoring another goal, your multiplier increases, and the counter resets back to 10 spins.
There are a total of 11 levels and your multiplier increases by two on each one. That means your maximum multiplier is 20x.
Collect three Bonus symbols in any position to win the Penalty Shots. You try to beat the goalkeeper by kicking the ball in one of four corners of the goal. Each successful shot increases your cash prize. If you score all five goals, you win 100x your total stake.
This Pragmatic Play release has a medium variance and an RTP of 96.51%. It wasn’t the best slot we ever played when it comes to graphics. But the progressive multiplier special feature carries The Champions all by itself. It’s not a perfect slot, but it comes damn close to it. Give it a try, and make your team proud!
