Ahead of the 2014 FIFA World Cup starting on June 12, the leading software providers to online casinos Microgaming and Playtech have both released football themed video slots. In case you are not already playing on these fantastic slot games, this article will help you get acquainted with the features they offer.

The football themed online slot game from Microgaming is Football Star. As expected, the reels are set in a fan-filled stadium. Football Star is a 243 ways-to-win slot game, which means that the action on the reels will be as fast as the action on the field. You can win up to 25 free spins with a 10x multiplier. Typical Microgaming features like Rolling Reels and Stacked Wilds have been incorporated in Football Star and are available in both the base game and free spins round. A new and innovative feature called Striking Wild has been introduced in this game. It occurs randomly in the base game and converts an entire reel into wild symbols. Football Star is live at all Microgaming online casinos like Jackpot City, Royal Vegas and Spin Palace.

Playtech has launched Football Carnival in which it combines the festivity of the Rio Carnival with the excitement of football. This is because the World Cup is being hosted by Brazil. The video slot game has fifty fixed paylines so there is plenty of action here as well. The symbols on the reels include four football players in their national jerseys, the Rio landmark of Christ the Redeemer and a football stadium. These symbols can appear in stacks of two on the reels. The high paying symbols are the Brazilian flag, the cheerleader and the samba girl. The wild symbol is a football and the Football Carnival logo is the scatter symbol. The scatter symbol awards scatter payouts and also triggers the free spins bonus round. You are awarded ten free spins with an initial multiplier of 2x. After every two spins the multiplier increases by 1x. Also in every spin an extra wild symbol remains fixed on the center spot of the third reel. The Football Carnival slot game is live at all top rated Playtech online casinos such as Bet365 and Omni Casino.
