Score! Slot

When it comes to online slots, few games can claim the level of engagement and entertainment for sports fans as Score. Drawing on the thrill and spills of international football tournaments like the World Cup and the Euros, we developed Score as a slots game with particular appeal for sports lovers. The game format is split up like the groups and phases of a football tournament, with its own football feature game to keep things interesting.

If your team wins and progresses through to the latter stages of the tournament, you’re probably in for a good return to your bankroll. At the same time, it’s going to take a good performance to keep your team in contention and avoid early elimination, as is so often the case in real-life tournament structures.

There are 12 different mini-games within Score, aside from the base slots game. Improving your performance in each of these games helps you collect ‘Ability’ points, which are factored into determining your possible payouts, in the form of the win multiplier. As you play through the tournament tree towards the final, you’ll need to take part in these mini games along the way, as well as progressing in the slots game itself to determine the size of your wins.

As for the slots, it’s a traditional 5 reel game at heart. The 30 paylines mean there are plenty of opportunities to create winning combinations along the way to challenging for the final and the potential jackpot. Players can bet anywhere from 0.01 to 10.00 per spin, with win multipliers from 1 to 5 available depending on your performance in the game.

If you’ve ever fancied a crack at leading your national team through to the final of a major tournament, Score is the slot for you.

Game Structure

Unlike most basic slots games, we’ve developed a game narrative in Score. From the outset when you choose the national team you want to represent, you are pitted directly against other teams to progress through the competition. As a result, the game is split into 6 stages, with the aim being to reach all the way to final and (with a bit of luck) to lift the winning trophy.

Qualifying: Once you’ve chose your team, you’re entered into a qualifying group with 4 other teams. The top 4 teams from the group by result go through to the next stage of the tournament.

Group Stage: Once you’ve qualified, you’re through to the group stages. There are 3 games to be played in this round, the last chance for slip ups before you enter the knockout stages. While you’re still spinning on the reels between each game, the Group Stage is where the tournament tension really starts to build.

Last 16: Through to the last 16, and if you’re playing as England, it’s probably time to start packing your bags. There is one game at this stage, and it’s do or die. You need a good performance from the team here, as well as a good outing in the selected mini feature game to give yourself the best chance of progressing profitably.

Quarters: Quarter final time and things are really heating up. It’s you against another team, and your progress could all be dashed with one bad performance. By this stage, you’ll have played through most of the mini skill games, with just a couple left between you and your maximum multiplier.

Semis: Like the quarters, it’s another all or nothing match. At this point, you’re almost certainly playing for pride – as well as hopefully winning on the reels as you move through the game. While the competition is definitely stiffer, you can still hope for a good result if your team has been playing well throughout.

Finals: You’ve made it to the final – congratulations. Just 90 virtual minutes of virtual football stand between you and a major career highlight. Don’t get too disappointed if you don’t win the cup – there’s another tournament starting immediately afterwards, so you can have as many chances as you need to steer your team to victory.

The game structure running throughout Score doesn’t mean you can’t win on individual spins along the way. Think of it like two games in one – the slots game, and the feature tournament, with all its mini games to be enjoyed along the way. In the tournament game, you’re playing for managerial pride – as well as the chance to boost your multipliers/Ability Points for anything you may win on the slots.

The Mini Games

The mini games feature heavily throughout Score, awarding free spins for successful completion. If you win in any of the given mini games, you also pick up Ability Points, which are factored in to your winning multiple – with up to 5x available. While these games definitely help spice up the game entertainment-wise, they can also contribute heavily to your potential payout.

The mini games are split into four areas: Attack, Defence, Teamwork and Reputation. Each of these areas has 3 separate games available, and these are determined at random throughout the game, so you never know which will appear next. These mini games are triggered by three trophy symbols appearing on the reels, and you can expect at least one mini game per round as you play through.

The mini games include attacking and defending a penalty, attacking and defending a corner, diving and even showboating – the more successful you are in these challenges, the better your prospects for a decent payout from the reels.

Other Symbols

The Wild Score symbol is of course the wild, which can be used in place of other symbols to complete your payline – with the notable exception of the trophy and ability symbols, which won’t benefit from the wild.

The Trophy symbol triggers the mini games in any given round, and when you line up three of these symbols, you’re in a strong position to move forward and gain ability points (and boost your multiplier). You can also pick up free spins in these mini games too, so it’s definitely worth getting to know the ins and outs of each game.

You can also find yourself awarded free spins at random as you’re playing through each match on the commentary screen. These are noted at the bottom, and happen as a response to goings on in the match. Just like real life, the football here can be unpredictable – so you never know when you’re next in line for some extra free spin bonuses.
