Top Strike Championship Slot

Graphics

The players take to the field in front of a packed, floodlit stadium, and it is the stars of this international team who take starring roles as the game’s top-paying symbols.

A Goalkeeper pounces in action, while two outfield Players look on intently, no doubt to latch on to a through ball to fire an attempt at goal. The Top Strike Championship Logo and multi-flagged Wild take the mantle as our very top-payers, while 10s through Aces act as the low-paying workhorses for this team.

All our game symbols throb and pop when we score winners across the game’s 20 paylines, and a nice coin eruption accompanies every win. When we launch the Free Games bonus feature, achieved by landing three or more Trophy Scatters (the Trophy looks suspiciously like the FIFA World Cup, but obviously can’t be as this is not a licenced game) we are treated to a tournament board-style game that can see us go all the way to glory.

Gameplay

Betting toggles and pay table are easily handled and browsed, NextGen preferring to let the game do the talking. Landing three, four or five of those Trophy Scatters triggers 10, 15 or 20 free spins in the Top Strike Championship Free Games feature.

Not only can we look forward to scoring epic wins from free spins, but we also have the chance to trigger the Treble Bet feature. To notch that landmark we require Golden Tickets, only found on reel 5. Landing the Golden Tickets symbol launches the feature we proceed to the Treble Bet feature.

This sees us enter a tournament in the style of the World Cup, and it is our job to pick three winners of three matches. We score coin wins for each correct outcome, giving us a platform to head into to the Knockout Stage. The more winners we pick, the further we go and the more coins we win. Out ultimate aim? The final itself.

Verdict

Most countries can’t level a realistic claim to lifting the actual World Cup, but claiming the trophy after progressing through Top Strike Championship’s multi-layered bonus games will see us jumping with as much joy as if our team had won the cup itself.

The multi-attacking intent with the bonus features is the online slots equivalent to a team playing free-flowing, attacking football with the intent to score goals - and our intent to reap epic rewards from slots wins.
