Play Bicicletas Slot Online Free & Review

The European Championship is at its peak with many surprises and action on the field and out, but the football theme video slots battle has started much earlier. A number of software providers launched their own football themed video slot games a few weeks ago, hoping to attract many football fans online.

Bicicletas also follows this theme and is a game dedicated to the popular scissor or bicycle kick shot, which made many big players famous during important football matches.

The symbol details, visual effect and overall game design are on a medium level, with more attention focused on the bonus feature of the game.

Developers

Bicicletas is Yggdrasil’s football theme video slot game and is their main contender for this year European Championship.

This is a great software provider with many great games behind their reputation, but Bicicletas follows a world trend of football theme slots which are not on the top level that is expected. Many details are borrowed from other titles in the industry, so not much credit can be paid to the designer team at Yggdrasil.

How to Play

Bicicletas has a bit unusual design because of the fact that there are 25 active pay lines, but distributed over 4 rows and the classic 5 reels.

Usually, slot games with 4 rows have a bigger number of pay lines or all ways win design, so we’re not really sure why the designers decided to go with this step. The total bet per spin can range from the minimum $0.25 up to the maximum of $100.

Special Features

The designers made some effort to create a decent and interesting bonus round in Bicicletas, but with similar details from their previous release Monkey King.

The overall bonus feature is a free spins bonus round with added features from the Wild and Trophy symbol. Once a minimum of 3 Footballs (Scatters) land on the reels the match can begin with a starting number of 8 free spins. If the number of scatters is bigger the player will be awarded with 16 or 24 free spins accordingly.

The free spins bonus doesn’t have any multiplier attached, so the main payout potential comes from the wild and trophy symbol. The classic wild symbol keeps the same function as in base play, landing only on reels 1, 2, 3 and 4, substituting for all symbols except the trophy and scatter, with no other extra added functions.

The Trophy symbol awards coin prizes up to 1,000 coins or from 8 to 12 free spins during base play, but in the free spins this is the symbol you will want to see the most. Each time it lands on the last reel during the bonus round the Trophy can award 2-4 extra free spins, the standard coin payout or the desired Sticky Wild Reel on any of the first four reels.

This way you can end up with a decent number of spins and a wild reel for at least a few spins. The excitement doesn’t stop there as the four football player symbols can get an extra function when they land on the reels. Each player on the screen during the free spins makes the famous Bicicletas kick towards the goal and if he scores a sticky wild symbol will take his place on the reels.

Maximums Payout

We don’t have any exact information of what to hope for in this game in terms of maximum payout, so we can only guess based on the pay table and the bonus round. The highest paying football player symbols have a weak pay table with only 10x bet as a maximum possible win on a pay line.

The bonus round increases the payout potential because of the possibility of getting a Sticky Wild Reel plus extra Sticky Wild symbols if the players scores a goal. The Trophy symbol can award extra free spins making decent and big wins of maybe a maximum 500x total bet possible.

Summary

Bicicletas is not on the level of quality we expected from the designer team of Yggdrasil Software. The overall design and visual appearance seemed sloppy and made on the go, with not enough attention paid to details.

The bonus feature is very similar to the Monkey King free spins including the Trophy symbol on the last reel. We are not used to seeing this in the video slot games collection from Yggdrasil Software and hope that their future releases will be made with a greater deal of effort and originality.
