Slots Type: 5 Reel, 15 Payline Video Slot with Bonus Game.

Software: Microgaming

Description: This game was released at the end of May 2006 just in time for the start of the 2006 World Cup and I'm reviewing this slots game a few days into the actual tournament and World Cup Mania is certainly in full flow.

My first impressions are that alot of the symbols are just food, albeit the kind of food you may eat when going to a football match, chips, burgers, pizza, pints of beer, and pies. I would have been hoping for more football related symbols, perhaps featuring World Cup legends or colours of the world best teams or something a little more football based.

There are a few football related symbols such as football boots, a referees whistle, a match ticket and a fog horn that you might expect a some members of the crowd to be using.

It has background sound effects and you can hear the sound of fans cheering there teams.

If you like this football slots game you may also be interested in the Free Kick Slots game from Cryptologic which is also a football slot with a bonus game.

Wild Symbol: The Flaming Football symbol is a wild symbol and substitutes any other symbol combinations, except the Referee Whistle symbol or the Free Kick Bonus symbol. You will hear the sound of a bouncing ball when it does appear, even if it does sound more like a basket ball :).

Scatter Symbol: If you get 2 or more of the Referee Whistle symbols anywhere on the any reel you win. Each time one lands you will hear the sound of a whistle being blown.

Free Spin Bonus Feature: If you get 3, 4 or 5 Referee Whistle symbols scattered any where on the 5 reels you are awarded 10 free spins. All wins during the free spins are tripled and more free spins can be triggered during the free spins if you get another 3 or more Referee Whistle symbols.

Bonus Feature / Game: Getting 3, 4 or 5 of the "Kicking World Cup Mania" symbols on an activated pay line will trigger the Bonus Free Kick Game. This game can be activated during free spins. In the game you take shots at the goal and earn bonus points for every goal. You don't actually miss a goal as the keeper doesn't move, instead you get varying bonus points depending on which area of the goal you choose to shoot at. So your guaranteed 3 lots of bonus points.

Its quite exciting as you hear the crowd cheer when you do score a goal and obviously your wanting the bonus points to be as high as possible.
