Striker Goes Wild Slot

Graphics

Our action unfolds in an out of focus football stadium, with our five reels taking place on a black scoreboard. Shiny 9s through Aces start off our game symbols, finished in the kind of style we might expect to find on the backs of football shirts.

Gloves, Boots, Whistle, Goal and Trophy complete our list of game symbols, awarding payouts when they form winning combos across the game’s 25 paylines and sees balls spin around them in a neat piece of animation. But it is when we trigger the Striker Goes Wild feature that this match really kicks off in graphical terms.

The crowd cheers, a ball goes into the box, the striker heads it...into the net! It’s a great little bit of action to spruce up our base game and launch the bonus feature, amid ecstatic cries of “Goooooooal!”

Johan Cruyff famously said that “football is simple, but it is difficult to play simple”. Eyecon Games disproves that theory, making the gameplay in its Striker Goes Wild slot super simple indeed. We spin in search of wins across the game’s 25 paylines, with winning combos highlighted by coloured lines and spinning balls.

The Striker Scatter appears on reels 2, 3 and 4, and we need one on each of those reels to trigger the Striker Goes Wild feature. Now, the game sends between 7-9 Wild Overlays onto the reels, creating multiple winning combos and near-guaranteed five-of-a-kind wins.

If we are to land a Trophy symbol - the game’s top-paying symbol - in a five-of-a-kind win we are looking at an impressive 10,000 coin payout.

Verdict

Eyecon Games has a unique formula for its online slots, a formula that the studio follows diligently and slots fans love. But Eyecon’s Striker Goes Wild slot mixes that formula up a touch with its single bonus feature of overlaid Wilds rather than the Free Spins bonuses it used to such great effect in slots like 99 Time! and Fluffy Favourites.

The result is fast-paced slots action that any football fan would be happy to engage with, and any slots fan will be happy to launch time and again.
