iSoftBet Scores With Football Slot
Over the last couple of months, slot fans will have noticed an unusual trend developing at online casinos. A curious number of content providers have recently released games around the theme of ‘the beautiful game’. This month, Microgaming even brought out two football games. iSoftBet has now become the latest provider to offer players a football themed slot.
Perhaps this trend is due to the disruption to football and the wider sporting calendar caused by the global coronavirus pandemic. For the last three months sports bettors have had few matches to wager on. Some have turned to other forms of gambling, and slots like iSoftBet’s latest offering will certainly appeal to sporting fans.
“Hot Shots was so popular we decided to launch a sequel with a supercharged bonus for players to score even bigger wins. Launching our new Ultra Bet feature on this game made perfect sense as it embraces the exciting and frantic nature of the “beautiful game” while also offering players a whole new way to play slots.”– Mark Claxton, Head of Games, iSoftBet

Features to look forward to include expanding wilds and an unlimited increasing win multiplier that can be triggered during free spins. The Wild Golden Ball symbol can expand both vertically and horizontally during free spins.
Players will most look forward to the cutting-edge ‘Ultra Bet’ feature, which offers the opportunity to unlock 50 games through just one wager. In these games, players will find themselves collecting wins, multiplier stars and bonus rounds in a high-paced escapade. The ‘Ultra Bet’ feature is engaging and thrilling, and successfully elicits the excitement of a real football match.
The brand new slot features colorful and detailed graphics and an upbeat soundtrack. Symbols are illustrated with cartoon animals playing for their national football teams. These include a Portuguese fox, a British bulldog, a Spanish bull, a French cockerel and a German shepherd.
To trigger the free spins round, players simply need to land three or more Hot Shots symbols. They’ll then discover the unlimited win multiplier, as well as the footballs that expand on reels two, three and four to make multiple wilds. Bonus symbols can also retrigger free spins.
“The launch of Hot Shots 2 is perfectly timed with the restart of many football leagues around the world, something so many people have been eager to see. We are delighted with the result of the game and confident it will prove to be the perfect strike partner for sport-starved slot fans.”
A Stylish New Megaways Game

Free spins, cascading wins and a bonus tracker reel are among the special features to look forward to in this temple quest.
Those who are already familiar with games in iSoftBet’s portfolio may recognize its popular symbol-matching mechanic.
