Champions - Review, Demo Play, Payout, Free Spins & Bonuses

Introduction

No time for losers when you're playing Champions, a baseball inspired online slot developed by the team at Multislots. This 5 reel, 3 row online slot comes with 25 always on paylines. 

Match symbols associated with baseball matches, including a flaming baseball, crossed bat, a catching glove and the standard playing card styled symbols.

Watch out for the baseball cap, which provides the biggest win of the game whilst also acting as the wild symbol, substituting for all symbols with the exception of the free spin batter symbol.

The free spin batter symbol is a scatter symbol, providing up to 50 free spins if you are lucky enough to land 5 or more of them on the reels.

Theme, Graphics & Soundtrack

There is little in the way of music in Champions, with most game sounds coming in the form of crowd noises. Applause is punctuated by groans and encouraging noises based on how well each spin falls. 

Wins are accompanied by a little blast on the organ, but this is very sporadic.

Graphics are well rendered, with this game offering obvious appeal to fans of baseball. Playing card symbols look as if they have been hand daubed on a wall, and animations of winning symbols are fairly good looking.

Champions RTP and Variance

Champions has long term average RTP of 95.91%, which is slightly below the average rate for titles of this type, sitting usually at around 96.0%. The medium volatility should bring balanced gameplay, along with the chances of some bigger wins. Remember that the bigger wins do not come around very often, so should be played for patiently.

How to Play Champions

1. To begin with, we recommend taking a look at the paytable when loading any new game for the first time. In Champions, the paytable can be found by clicking the 'Payouts' button at the bottom left of the reels. The paytable contains key game information including win amounts for matching game symbols on the reels, how to access the bonus feature and the pattern of the 25 always on paylines. Brief game rules are also included on the paytable.
2. To set your bet use the - and + buttons at the bottom of the screen. It is important to note that the coin value displayed in the centre of these buttons is only the line bet. The full bet per spin is the line bet multiplied by 25. This amount is displayed just above the coin value.
3. To spin the reels, click the spin button at the bottom right of the reels.
4. To auto spin the reels, click the auto button in the bottom left of the reels. This brings up the autoplay menu, which allows for up to 25 spins to take place consecutively. Clicking the settings cog in the autoplay menu brings you to further settings, allowing you to select whether or not you wish to stop if you get a big win, or stop automatically if your losses exceed a given amount.
5. It is important to play Champions responsibly. Setting a sensible and affordable budget for each play session is vital, as is sticking to this budget. Similarly, it is a good idea to resolve never to chase losses. When the fun stops, stop!

Champions is rather a simple online slot, with only a free spins feature to boast of. That said, the prospect of 50 free spins is not to be sniffed at. This should hold the attention of baseball fans longer than any other players.
