Celtic Football Club Slot Game Review
Celtic fans must’ve been over the moon when they heard about this Celtic Football Club slot release from Blueprint Gaming. Other than perhaps Rangers supporters, football fanatics everywhere will relish the opportunity to combine gaming with their other favourite pastime.
Celtic FC was founded in Glasgow in 1887 and has since gone on to become one of the most successful sides in Scottish football. Their most exceptional year was the 1966-67 season which is commemorated with a symbol in the game. That year the team went on to win the Glasgow Cup, the League cup, the Scottish League Championship, and the European Cup. Not a bad year at all for The Bhoys.
Plenty of club imagery and memorabilia abounds throughout Celtic Football Club slot. The reels are set against the background of a packed house at Celtic Park. It’s daytime and bright sunlight floods in to illuminate the ground and the thousands of fans cheering their team on.
Figures
Blueprint Gaming has gone for a 3-row x 5 reel arrangement with 20 pay lines for building winning combos. The setup has the standard Blueprint look with bets easily raised or lowered using the BET arrows. Wagers can be set as low as 0.20 coins or as high as 200 coins to get the most out of it.
The game has been capped with a maximum win of 250,000 coins which is an extraordinary amount. Not so remarkable is the RTP that is rated at 91.86% – 95.27% which is unusually low. Even at its highest level, it’s not great, but at its lowest, well let’s just say that it is not an impressive figure and one that could put off all but the most ardent Celtic fans.
Celtic Football Club can be played for real money, or demoed in free play mode. It has also been optimised for mobile devices so it can be enjoyed during a half time break wherever you happen to be.
Premier symbols
The symbols used are a mixture of old and new. For the most part, at least three of the same symbols are required to form a winning combination. For the low pay symbols the developers have gone with using the 10, J, Q, K, and A. The least valuable winners are three 10s, Js, and Qs, which are worth 0.20x the stake. Five of a kind will get you 5x the stake. The K and A are worth between 0.50x and 10x the stake.
The four higher paying symbols are where the action and passion start to heat up. The Jersey combos are worth 1x to 12.5x the stake, and the illustrious Celtic Logo 2x to 15x the stake. 1967 was such a glorious year that only 2 of these symbols are needed to return 0.10x, while five are worth 25x the stake. Not tremendous values, but there is potential there.
The shimmering green Wild symbol tops the game for value. Like the 1967 symbol, just two of these will get you 0.10x the stake while five are worth a fabulous 1000x. With the top betting level of 200 coins, we are talking about the possibility of making 200,000 coins from one combo. Land that and you’ll know how Celtic fans felt at the end of the ’67 season.
The final symbol of note is the BONUS symbol. This game-changer spins on reels 1,3 and 5 and when three lands then it’s time to reap the rewards of the Changing Room Bonus.
The beautiful game
The Wild may be the most lucrative symbol, but a lot of the time it will be serving its alternative function. It has the ability to substitute for any of the other paying symbols. The game also possesses an exciting random Wild feature which can appear at any time during a spin. During this thrilling sequence up to four reels can be covered entirely in Wilds which can result in a whole lot combos while the crowd cheers you on.
The game gets a welcome expansion via the Changing Room Bonus feature. Three BONUS symbols whisk the player back to the changing room where four Celtic shirts are hanging up. Choosing one of them will open up one of four bonus features.
- Mystery Win – Win a random prize.
- Trophy Room – Select a trophy to win some cash.
- The Celtic Way – Move across a board collecting multipliers, upgrades and cash until a red card is revealed.
- Champions Free Spins – 10 free spins are awarded symbols that change and transform. Each free spin has the tantalising possibility of showering players with huge prizes!
What makes Celtic Football Club slot so special?
Celtic Football Club will instantly appeal to supporters of the team. When the game was announced, it must have been a dream come true for them. The graphics are good, without being outstanding, and top quality sounds to accompany them. There is certainly enough here to entertain gamers whether they are into football or not.
One major drawcard is the fantastic array of extras. The Changing Room bonus is one of the features that stand out, and its four options will keep gamers coming back for more. Trying out each one of them will take time and keep levels high while attempting to do so.
The RTP rating may be a let-down for some gamers, but the extra features go a long way to negate this. There are excellent opportunities for landing high-value combinations, notably the Wild, and its jackpot is a game changer. If the RTP rate is making you worry then check the game out for free and see how it plays out.
There are a lot of football themed slots out there but very few based on a single team. A lot could be riding on Blueprint’s experiment with Celtic. If this slot proves to be successful, then we could be seeing a lot more teams used as themes. We live in hope. Football fans the world over are waiting with bated breath.
