Football Star Review

Australians are fond of all sports and soccer is among them. The Australian national team known as the Socceroos has participated in the last three World Cups. Therefore the Microgaming video pokie Football Star is popular at Australian online casinos. It was launched to coincide with the 2014 FIFA World Cup. The high paying symbols are five football players in action. The low paying symbols are other items associated with soccer like referee, football field, jersey and football boots. Using these symbols instead of playing card icons adds to the theme. The Football Star logo is the wild symbol. There are more than 40 wilds symbols on the reels to boost your wins. And the symbols appear stacked on reels 3, 4 and 5. The football is the scatter symbol. Three or more scatter symbols anywhere on the reels award scatter payouts that are multiplied by the total bet.
