World Soccer 2 Demo Slot - Review for Canadians, Demo Play & Payout Info

Introduction

World Soccer 2 is a slot game with 5x3 reels combining to make a rather majestic 243 possible ways to win. With an instantly recognisable theme and plenty of fun imagery, this slot is very enjoyable to play, despite having a couple of flaws. In this review, we'll see the mechanics of the game, some of its best (and worst) features, and answer your key questions about World Soccer 2.

This game has some great bonus features, including very powerful wild symbols and a unique Wild Penalty Kick feature (see below). The game also packs a free spin bonus, where winnings can be enhanced by multipliers that can be accumulated over the round.

With an unknown volatility and an RTP lower than some alternatives, some players may find World Soccer 2 a bit of a struggle - especially if you are looking for regular wins. However, the thrill of massive, multiplied payouts through the game's bonus features is, in our opinion, worth it.

Theme, Graphics & Soundtrack

The inspiration for World Soccer 2 is immediately obvious: the background is a football stadium with St Basil's Cathedral in Moscow looming behind. The "2" in the title is decorated with a Russian flag. This is a homage to the 2018 World Cup, and three of the main cards are clear references to football's three most famous Portuguese, Argentinian and Brazilian megastars. Players looking for an alternative soccer-themed slot might also enjoy Football Star Deluxe slot.

Graphically, Gameplay Interactive slots have done a great job with World Soccer 2. Each round has a falling animation (replacing the usual spinning animation), which players can speed up by pressing the Spin button again mid-round. There are also some fun animations when players achieve certain winning combinations or bonus features.

The soundtrack is reminiscent of classic early-1990s computer games. While its rhythmic beeping does help players keep the beat of the game, we would have hoped for something more appropriate to the soccer theme. Some users might even find the soundtrack irritating.

World Soccer 2 RTP and Variance

This slot has an RTP of 95.23%, which is a little lower than many other available online slots. Its volatility is unknown, but with 243 potential ways to win and a powerful Wild feature, players can still achieve regular payouts.

Bet Sizes & Paytable Wins

The minimum bet in World Soccer 2 is 0.02, while the maximum is 4.50. However, because players cannot change the number of playable lines (so every round has the potential to win in 243 possible ways), the total minimum bet is 1.00 and the total maximum bet is 225.00.

Finding five images of the gold soccer trophy will give the player a payout of x500, which is the maximum available in the game. The game developers seem to be fans of a certain Portuguese footballing superstar, since five of his images gain the player a win of x250, while his Brazilian and Argentinian equivalents are only worth x200 and x175 respectively!

World Soccer 2 Bonus Features & Free Spins 

World Soccer 2 is packed with bonus features. Finding three goalkeeper symbols will trigger 15 free spins, while finding four triggers 20 free spins, and five goalkeepers net you a massive 25 free spins! During free spin rounds, winning combinations are removed from the reels and other symbols fall down (called a Downrush), through which players can win more times on the same spin. These come with increasing multipliers (x2, x3, x4, x5 and x10).

The game also features a Wild symbol, which only appears in rows 3 to 5 but can appear as either a single symbol or a stacked symbol. It replaces all symbols except the Scatter (goalkeeper).

A random Wild Penalty Kick can also be spun, triggering a random player to appear and kick a ball into reel 2, 3 or 4, turning that reel into a Wild. This bonus is not active during free spin rounds, only during the main game.

World Soccer 2 Review - Pros & Cons

World Soccer 2 has a fun and popular theme that is sure to satisfy football-loving players (although they might be disappointed by the soundtrack). However, even players who aren't great football fans will find something to relish here: the game has some excellent bonus features, which makes gameplay very enjoyable.
