Choose Your Teams Feature

Top Trumps World Football Stars has a special feature, which allows you to choose the images that appear on the reels. These images must be chosen when entering the game and can be changed at any time during the main game, when the reels are not spinning and when not in Auto Start mode. The images on the screen are automatically updated. In addition, the Paytable page and the Info pages are also updated according to your choice. These choices do not influence the sum of a winning combination, but only the images that appear on the screen.

When entering the game for the first time, you must choose 2 teams before being able to see the reels. When re-entering the game, you may choose 2 new teams or simply continue to the reels. You have to choose two of the following teams to play with: Argentina, Brazil, England, France, Germany, Italy or Spain. Three players from each team will appear on the reels.Click on a team to make a selection and then click Continue to see the reels. You can change both teams at any time during the main game, using the Change Team buttons above the reels.

The symbols from the first team (represented on the left, when making a choice of teams) pay left to right, when appearing on an active payline and on adjacent reels, starting with the leftmost reel. The symbols from the second team (represented on the right, when making a choice of teams) pay right to left, when appearing on an active payline and adjacent reels, starting with the rightmost reel. The Royal symbols pay in both directions in the main game and during the Free Games feature. One payline can pay in both directions simultaneously. The player will get the highest win in each direction, using 5 of a kind only once. During the Free Games feature, all lines pay in both directions simultaneously. The player will get the highest win in each direction, using 5 of a kind only once.

Wild symbol

The Wild symbol in the game is the symbol. It can stand for any other symbol, except Scatter, either of the Flag symbols, or the Ball, to make the best possible winning combination. There is also a separate payout for two or more Wild symbols on an active payline, as seen in the Paytable. This is paid out instead of the regular symbol win if the win amount from Wilds is larger than the win from the regular symbols (by Wild standing in). The Wild symbol does not substitute in Mixed Pay combinations.

Scatter symbol

The Scatter symbols do not have to occur on any particular payline. If there are two or more Scatters in the spin results, the payout earned is multiplied by the total bet and added to payline winnings.

Pass the Ball Bonus

The Ball symbol appears only on reels #2 and #4 during the main game. All Flag symbols appear only on reels #1 and #5 during the main game. If the Ball symbol appears on reel #2 with a left-side team member (represented on the left, when making a choice of teams) on its immediate left on reel #1, the ball will be passed among all of his team members appearing on the reels. For every player that touches the ball, 3 times the total bet is won. If the Ball symbol appears on reel #4 with a right-side team member (represented on the right, when making a choice of teams) on its immediate right on reel #5, the ball will be passed among all of his team members appearing on the reels. For every player that touches the ball, 3 times the total bet is paid. The Pass the Ball Bonus can be triggered only during the main game.

Mixed Pay feature

A mixed combination is any combination of players from the same team that are not all the same symbol.

During Free Games, mixed combinations pay both left to right and right to left. For both teams, only mixed combinations of at least 3 symbols can win. The Wild symbol does not participate in mixed pay combinations.

More info on different kinds of Slot Machines:

Below is a brief explanation on every type of slot machine:

3-Reel Standard Slots – these are the most usual slot machines. You bet a certain amount, then spin the three reels and depending on the outcome of the spin, you either win or lose.

3-Reel Max Bet 2 Slots – these machines allow you to bet the maximum of two coins, not three as in Standard Slots.

Progressive Jackpot – a progressive jackpot means that a certain percentage of every bet goes into the progressive jackpot pool. You win the jackpot by obtaining a very high symbol combination, usually only when playing for maximum bet.

Bonus Game – machines that have a Bonus Game require you to obtain a special symbol combination, or collect certain symbols. When you do, you will enter a bonus round, with special prizes waiting for you. Please note that in some games you have to play for maximum bet to qualify for a bonus round.

3-Line and 5-Line Slot Machines – here you specify your bet per payline, and the paylines on which you bet. A payline is the line along which Your total bet is then line bet x number of lines selected. 3-Line Slots have 3 lines for you to choose between, and 5-Line slots have 5.

Multiline Slots – same as above, only these machines have more than 5 lines, usually 8 or 9.

3-Row and 5-Row Multispin Slots – this is the giant leap for slot machines. In multispin slots, after the first spin you choose which reels you want to hold, then spin the rest of the reels again. 3-row and 5-row mean you have 3 or 5 rows of reels, like in multiline video poker you have multiple hands.
