Shoot

Originally released back in 2012, Shoot is a classic football slot, picking up on the theme from the classic magazine of the same name. Once a hugely popular football title, Shoot will instantly trigger memories for any childhood football fan. While the magazine is still published today, it’s the nostalgic value that makes this online slots game from Microgaming and available at PartyCasino incredibly appealing. Often updated around the time of major international football tournaments, the game draws on some of the most celebrated players from the history of the sport in its bonus rounds, as well as providing ample rewards on the reels.

If you are a football fan, you’ll find the novel symbols across the reels particularly entertaining. You’ve got everything from vintage footballs and half-time pies, through to some of the biggest names in the game – Pele, George Best and Maradona to name but a few. This definitely adds to the spectacle of the game.

The bonus trading card round is where the action really heats up, with possible instant cash wins, free spins and ‘Click Me’ bonuses up for grabs – simply pick collections of matching football cards to claim your prize. Play across a total of up to 50 paylines, and you could be well on your way to success with this vintage football themed slots title.

The Main Game

The main game itself is a classic 5 reel slot, reminiscent of countless other games in the Microgaming catalogue. Where it differs is in the choice of reel symbols – they are all themed around players and features of the sport from the last 50-odd years. There are 50 possible winning combinations, as well as winning combinations for wilds and scatters in their own right. If you happen to land a couple of winning combos across different paylines, you’re in luck – these possible wins are aggregated and added to your bankroll, so you can effectively win on multiple lines in a single spin.

The wild symbol in Shoot is the Shoot symbol, which can win on its own payline, as well as subbing in for any symbols you need to complete another payline (except for the scatter symbol).

The scatter symbol you should be looking out for is the Cards symbol – two of these on the reels triggers the scatter bonus, effectively a multiple of your stake. Three or more triggers the Trade ‘Em bonus game, and the Trade ‘Em bonus game is your portal to the Magazine bonus round.

The Bonus Games

Trade ‘Em: This is the trading card bonus game, where you get to choose four out of the possible 12 face down trading cards. When you reveal their values, you’re looking for a match to claim cash prizes, or even secondary bonuses like free spins. You can even find yourself through to the Magazine bonus round by picking the relevant card from your selection. Free spins are allocated randomly, somewhere between 10 and 35 depending on your luck.

Magazine Bonus Round: The Magazine bonus round works in much the same way as Trade ‘Em bonus, where you’re given the chance to pick – this time from a selection of Magazines. When you reveal the prizes, you can keep on going until you hit the red card. Just like in real life, the red card ends your game, but anything you’ve picked up along the way is your bonus to keep.
