Those of you who always seek new stuff are probably bored from all the blockbuster movie and superhero based online slot games, are surely going to love this one, even though it slightly verges on coming off as simply bizarre.
Released to coincide with the 2014 FIFA World Cup held in Brazil, Goooal! is one quirky game based on football and it comes from the fine folks at Amaya.
We think it was basically great marketing as many people around the world go crazy because of the world cup, and when the game outlasts the big sports event, its true fans will keep spinning the reels for many years…
Theme
The first thing you need to do upon loading the game is to choose the color of your team - will it be red or blue?
When you start playing you will be greeted by a wonderfully designed interface, which has the reels placed against a backdrop of a stadium packed with a raging pack of football fans.
As you would expect, the symbols on the reels come in the form of football players, caught in various different positions, trying to score a goal. Beside each footballer symbol, there is a number, ranging from 1 to 4.
There is no wild symbol, but the “Gooal!” Symbol does show up on the fifth reel only to trigger quite unique features.
Betting Options and Other Functions
In this game you will find five reels and only three selectable paylines, but don’t let this discourage you that easily, as the whole game relies on a system completely unlike anything you’ve ever seen before.
Clicking on the footballs will allow you to adjust each payline manually. Clicking on “bet three” will place one coin per payline, while the “bet max” allows you to place the maximum of 5 coins per each payline.
If at any time you mess up the bets, you can always click on the “clear” button to start over.
When the aforementioned Goooal symbol appears on the fifth reel, the game will use the symbol right next to the Goooal one to determine how many points your team gets.
Over the reels you will see the area where all the goals are shown, and once there are more than three of them, regardless of the team, you will enter the 2nd Half.
Features
Even the bonus features are quite unique in this game! When you enter the 2nd Half, you will be greeted by a new screen with lots of footballs and a goal. Click on them to try and score a goal to win the other team.
Hitting the Match Over whistle button will finish the round and collect the prize.
Our Take on Goooal!
We really like the Goooal! as it’s completely different from all the other online slot games in the world. Besides its unique gameplay and bonus features, it also boasts a quite high RTP of 95.5%!
