The Champions Pokie is up and ready for the start of the 2018 World Cup on the 14 June. To start the proceedings players are invited to select their favourite team from one of the 32 nations who will be competing in the 2018 World Cup. The chosen team will then be reflected on the colours of some of the symbols.
Colourful symbols include whistles, jerseys, boots, gloves, and balls are spun over the five reels x 25 fixed paylines. The Champions pokie also lets players click or tap on the symbol positions to assign an overlaid target, which is known as the Momentum Progressive Game. This will then come into play whenever the ball symbol lands in the target position after a spin.
As a result, players will score a goal and move up a level and receive multiplier for their next 10 spins. If players score another goal, then they can rise up through the levels until the maximum threshold of 11. At that point, the multipliers will have been doubled all the way up to 20x.
The Champions Pokie also features wild symbols which substitute for all symbols other than the bonus symbols. And the appeal of the bonus symbols is that players can use them in order to launch the Penalty Shots Bonus Game. After gaining three or more bonus symbols on the second, third, or fourth reels, players get to take five penalty shots to try and lead their team to glory. The minimum reward is a 5x multiplier, but the maximum can be 100x if all penalties are scored.
