Microgaming Launches Football Slots Tournament

Isle of Man-based online casino software provider, Microgaming, has announced the launch of their upcoming multi-player slots tournament. Reels de Janeiro will have a football theme and is being released for the start of the 2014 Brazil FIFA World Cup.

The latest multi-player tournament comes soon after the 100K Magnificent May tournament that ran this month on the Girls with Guns - Jungle Heat slots game.

New Tournament Slots Game

The Microgaming Reels de Janeiro slot tournament will be played on the 5 reel, 50 payline Shoot! slot game. The game was released in May 2012 and has proved very popular among slots fans.

The football-themed game is full of football themed-graphics and is played on a background of a football stadium. Besides the balls, meat pies and noise makers, the symbols include some of the top football faces from the 60s, 70s and 80s.

Players can win an impressive maximum fixed jackpot of 37,500 coins in the main game or up to a whopping 619,000 coins in the Shoot bonus feature game. With wild symbols, scatter symbols, two bonus feature games and a free spins game, there are plenty of ways to increase your winnings.

The game became so popular that Microgaming created a tournament version of the game. It has chosen this game for June's multi-player tournament as it corresponds to the big football event of the year. Reels de Janeiro is promising a prize pool of 175,000.
