The beautiful game
Did you know that more than 3.5 billion people in the world watch and play football - or soccer, if you’re American? It’s no wonder that some of the best sport-themed slots are based on the beautiful game. With slots creators being the crazy creatives they are, you can be sure the theme goes beyond 22 men kicking a ball.
Take the example of Football Gladiators from Stake Logic. This brilliant and bonkers slot puts well-known players like Van Persie and Ferdinand in a Roman arena for a mash-up of FIFA Soccer and the movie Gladiators. Choose your player, and you can do battle with mythical monsters in the arena or win the chariot race. With multipliers and stacked wilds plus great bonuses and incredible animations, this is a must-spin slot.
Football Carnival from Playtech captures all the sights and sounds of the Rio World Cup, from carnival queens to world-famous players to Christ the Redeemer himself. With a samba beat and graphics that capture all the colour and vibrancy of Brazil, this is one celebration of football that really captures its fun, festivity and beauty - and there is some interesting bonus gameplay to boot!
NextGen couldn’t resist their own take on World Cup fever, combining footie and foxes in Foxin’ Wins Football Fever. Animals and sport must be two of the most popular slots themes, after all! Played out over 5 reels and 25 paylines, watch out for the playful little fox cubs adding wilds to the reels for some big rewards. With plenty of fox cash and free games on offer, this is a great way to catch a dose of football fever!
Sticky Wicket
What’s the second most popular sport in the world? Played all over the Southern Hemisphere and across the West Indies, 2.5 billion people worldwide participate in some form of cricket, from 20/20 to the Ashes. Not surprisingly, any sport or pastime that has a worldwide audience is going to be a theme for a slot!
Cricket Star from Microgaming is one of a whole host of sports-themed slots from one of the biggest names in online gaming. With 243 ways to win, Cricket Star features stacked wilds and Rolling Reels to really boost your winnings. Choose Amaya’s Rickety Cricket, on the other hand, for a cute and bonus-filled slot packed with cartoon bugs. It's not quite the sound of leather on willow, but it's really entertaining!
Batter up
American sports might be right at the bottom of the top 10 most popular world sports, but that doesn’t stop them from being some of the most exciting sports in the world, and that’s what makes them so attractive to games developers.
Pragmatic Play’s Hockey League Wild Match has all the sights of sounds of being rinkside when the puck - and the fists - start to fly. With great graphics, a pounding soundtrack, crowd noises and the iconic rinkside organ, this slot offers 10 free games with a 3x multiplier for a big payout.
NASCAR is about as American as apple pie, and Daytona is an iconic race track. Octopus Gaming puts them together in Daytona Gold, which is also the name of a famous watch designed for Paul Newman that is the most expensive in the world, selling for over $17 million. We can’t promise playing Daytona Gold will make you that rich, but it’s well worth a spin.
For a fast-paced and dynamic game that will get the adrenaline pumping, iSoftBet nail it with their basketball-themed slot Slam Dunk. With some massive multiplier action and a clean and cool design, deciding to play Slam Dunk is, well, a slam dunk in our view.
We have a winner
Of course, you don’t even have to like sports to play a sport-themed slot. For example, you might not know who Frankie Dettori is or why Playtech has designed a game celebrating his Magic Seven, the day he won all seven winners at Ascot. However, with its photo-realistic graphics, elegant overall design and rewarding bonus gameplay, you wouldn’t want to miss out on this great slot.
You can search for your favourite sports slots by theme, maker, playing style and even device so you know the slot you want to play is compatible with your smartphone or tablet. Our handy user ratings let you see what’s hot, and you can let other players know whether a slot is a "must play" or a "stay away" - not that you’ll find any duds at Slots Temple.
