About Shoot
Microgaming’s Shoot slot machine game is based on a famous UK football magazine of the same name. It was one of the most popular magazines of its time in the UK, since it first appeared in 1969. The weekly magazine died off in 2001, before being relaunched in 2008, around about the time that this slot launched. Shoot offers a 5-reel, 50-line gaming platform, with players able to alter the lines as they see fit, as well as bet up to 20 coins per line, and select coin denominations which range from 0.01 up to 0.10. Ultimately, players are going to find that wagers in this slot machine stem from a floor of 0.01 per line per spin, up to a ceiling of 100.00 per spin. If players can strike it lucky in the Shoot Bonus, they could potentially win as much as a non-progressive 61,900 coins in total.
Special Features
One thing that Shoot certainly isn’t short of are special features. Wild symbols appear as leather patches, and they can replace all other symbols in the slot with the exception of special icons, and there are plenty of those going around.
The Shoot Bonus is triggered by landing 3, 4 or 5 of the scattered bonus symbols (trading cards) anywhere on the reels. This will see players able to trigger a Trade ‘em Bonus (the first of a two-part bonus round). In this feature, players can select 4 out of the 12 trading cards to pocket instant cash prizes. If players locate Free Spin or Magazine Bonus icons during this feature, they will trigger additional bonus rounds at the second level.
Bonus Feature
During the Trade ‘em Bonus, players who locate the Free Spin symbol will land between 10 and 35 free spins. During this free spin bonus round, any wins which a player acquires will be doubled. Free spins cannot be retriggered.
It is also possible to land Magazine Bonus symbols during the Trade ‘em Bonus feature. In this round, players can select from 12 magazines until a red card is found. Each magazine awards a cash prize, with the red cards terminating the bonus, and seeing all wins paid out to players.
Shoot may not be as legendary as its magazine was back in the day, but this is still one of the best retro football-themed slots that you can play on the net.
