Kick-Off! Slot Machine, by Richard Teather, www.soccerkid.co.uk, Free
Reviewed May 2002

Yay, another free slot machine game! From the creator of Soccer Kid comes a free slot machine with a soccer theme. If you fancy playing the slot in UK Pounds instead of US Dollars, Kick-Off! Slot Machine is the game for you.

In Kick-Off! Slot Machine, the slots are filled with fruits and soccer balls. The result of each reel spin is determined by the combination of fruits and numbers of each slot. Matching all 3 fruits will win you any amount from 20p to £2; matching 3 bells gets you £2.5 and matching all 3 soccer balls will get you £3. If you can't match the fruits or soccer balls, the numbers shown in the slots will be added to the future spin (trail). If the spin ends on a blank space or Kick Off! in the prize window, it will increase your chance to hold the current feature and carry it to the next spin. The spin/trail features include: one free spin, boost the spin by bonus amount, add the numbers again to the spin, increase to £3 win, etc. When the spin stops on a cash value, you can either cash it in or gamble it. When you get a Bonus-Spin Stop, you can tap on each slot to try to match all three items of your choice. It sounds simple, but as you stop each slot, the reel goes faster. I have not been able to match anything on my own so far. There are many more Bonus features such as Bonus-Nudge Rush (by scoring a goal), Bonus Accumulator, Bonus Match (dice rolling game).

The background of the slot machine is soccer field. The graphics of the slot and bonus window are very nice and sharp. The reel rolling is quite realistic. There is a big collection of great sound effects that simulate the real slot machine sounds. It takes less than 2MB space and runs very nicely from a CF card.

For a FREE slot machine game, Kick-Off! Slot Machine has the most features.


Playing Hints and Tips:

When the Kick Off! Word is flashing on top, try to hit the Collect button when the light is on "!".
