Football Blast Slot Overview

Football Blast is a new casino slot from Kalamba Games where we enter the pitch to score some huge wins. With the World Cup fast approaching, many providers have started to release football-themed games, and Kalamba did not want to miss out. In early October, we saw Quickspin releasing Spinions Game Day, where we got to cheer for the beloved little monsters. However, the most exciting announcement came when Playtech partnered with Roberto Carlos. Not only because he is one of the most famous football players of all time, but also because we got to interview him! If you missed that, you can check it out here. Football Blast doesn’t seem to feature any superstars, but let’s check it out!

Football Blast is a video slot from Kalamba Games that features 5 reels, 3 rows, and 20 paylines. Players can choose between a Min.bet of 0.10 and a Max bet of 75. It has an RTP of 96.55%, which puts it well-above average. Football Blast is played at high volatility and offers a max win of 10.206x the bet.

Just like Maradona used The hand of God, we use some neat features to help us score. The features are Wild Symbol, Scatter Symbol, K-Cash Symbol, Cashpots, K-Cash Spins, Free Spins, and Bonus Buy.

Football Blast Slot Information

Sport themes are quite uncommon in slot games. In a way it’s odd, considering football is arguably the biggest cultural bearer there is. However, there’s a pattern that might explain why. Providers seem to struggle to truly find the essence of sport and apply it to a slot. Although a beautiful pitch and a magnificent, roaring stadium sets the tone, it just doesn’t feel that exciting. The cheering crowd helps with creating an authentic atmosphere, but the game itself fails to do so. That’s not to say that it’s not an enjoyable game. It simply strengthens our theory that it’s easier to create a magnificent setting around other themes than that of sports.

Football Blast can be played on all common mobile devices and desktops. A winning combination is created by landing 3 or more matching symbols on adjacent reels, within the game’s lines, and starting from the leftmost reel.

Kalamba made some questionable decisions regarding the symbols here.  The lower-paying symbols consist of grapes, plums, cherries, watermelons, and lemons. Five-of-a-kind with one of these pays 0.8x-1.6x the bet. The higher-paying symbols include bar, triple bar, green 7, and red 7. A full line with one of these will pay 5x-100x the bet. Golden footballs are what this game calls K-Cash symbols, which can trigger K-Cash spins. Following the golden trend, golden trophies act as this game’s Wild symbol. We’ll have to get along with the referee to trigger the Free Spins, as the scatters comes in form of whistles.

Football Blast Slot Features

What is the max win in the slot Football Slot?

You can win up to 10206x the bet.

What features are available in the slot Football Slot?

The features are Wild Symbol, Scatter Symbol, K-Cash Symbol, Cashpots, K-Cash Spins, Free Spins, and Bonus Buy.

Wild Symbol

Wild symbols substitute for all other symbols except Scatters and K-Cash.

Scatter Symbol

Landing 3 or more Scatter symbols triggers the Free Spins feature.

K-Cash Symbol

During the base game, landing 6 or more K-Cash symbols will award the values shown as a cash prize. 7 or more will trigger a Cashpot. These can pay a maximum of 1000x the bet, which it does if you land 15 K-Cash symbols.

K-Cash Spins

Landing 6 or more K-Cash symbols during the Free Spins feature locks them in place, and 1 K-Cash spin is triggered. Each new K-Cash symbol resets the number of remaining spins to 1. This means that you need to land a new symbol for each spin.

For every Multiplier symbol that appears during this feature, the multiplier meter value is increased by 1. When you fail to land a new symbol, the values collected will be multiplied by the value shown in the multiplier meter.

Free Spins

The Free Spins feature is initiated when 3 or more Scatters land. As mentioned, the K-Cash spins can be triggered here. Scatter symbols will also pay and award extra spins as described below:

3 Scatters = 2x win and 8 extra spins.

4 Scatters = 5x win and 12 extra spins.

5 Scatters = 10x win and 15 extra spins.

Bonus Buy

For the impatient, Kalamba is providing a way to jump straight into the Free Spins. The following options are available:

81.90x = 8 Free Spins

122.70x = 12 Free Spins

153.20x = 15 Free Spins

Football Blast Slot Conclusion

We appreciate all providers that give sports-themed slot games a go because it’s still quite unexplored. But perhaps there’s a reason. It may be that real-life themes in general, are challenging to implement in slot games. If you think about it, most slots are based on fantasy or historical periods. These sorts of games give the creators free rein to dig deep into their imagination and produce innovative slots.

That aside, we’re still confused about the choice of symbols. Symbols are an integral part of slots and help authenticate the game. Football Blast could’ve used symbols such as jerseys, players, and referees, but Kalamba took a different route. The game is filled with fruit and other classic slot symbols, such as 7s and bars. We assume that they had a valid reason for this, but it feels very misplaced.

Despite the theme not getting nailed perfectly, Football Blast is an enjoyable game. Kalamba’s K-Cash features are lots of fun, and we’ve seen them in other games before, such as Vegas Blast. However, Football Blast is extremely similar to that game, and we wish that Kalamba improves on their features a bit instead of simply reusing them.

Football Blast by Kalamba Games sends you straight into an action-packed game in the middle of a magnificent stadium.
