TurboKick

TurboKick Overview

TurboKick is a football slot from the Czech studio Apollo Games, released on 25 September 2023. It plays on a classic 5x3 grid with 11 paylines, set in a floodlit stadium with a cartoon cast of players, managers and goalkeepers. Apollo lists the game with medium volatility and a maximum win of 500x the bet. The RTP is published only as a range of 85–99%, which means the operator chooses the version – check the game information at your casino before you play.

The Symbols

Everything on the reels comes from a matchday. The premium end of the set is made up of footballers in red, blue and green-and-yellow kits, a coach pointing from the touchline and a player lifting the trophy. Below them sit the kit and equipment: a club shirt, a pair of football boots, goalkeeper gloves and the stadium itself. The hexagonal tiles give the grid a honeycomb look, and each character is drawn with a lot of personality.

Three special symbols sit on top of that. The football is the wild. The goalkeeper tile marked PENALTY leads to the shoot-out bonus, and a pitch tile marked BONUS is the gateway to the free spins. Apollo also names the yellow and red cards as scatter symbols.

Wild Footballs

The wild ball substitutes for the regular symbols and, in our session, it landed stacked. Two full columns of wild balls on the middle reels turned an ordinary spread of goalkeeper gloves into our biggest win of the session – more on that below. Wilds also completed several of the smaller player lines we saw.

What Our Spins Showed

We played the demo at a $50 stake, and the win meter let us follow the numbers.

A line of blue-kit players with two wild balls at the start of the row paid $250 – five times the bet – and the spin finished on $350 with a second line. On another spin a wild ball and two blue players on a diagonal paid $100, twice the stake.

The standout was a screen covered in goalkeeper gloves on reels one, two and five, with the two middle reels filled by wild footballs. With every one of the 11 lines paying, the game showed BIG WIN $2,750 – 55x the bet. The credit meter moved from $12,750 to $15,500 once the win was added.

The Penalty Shoot-Out

Apollo calls this feature PENALTA, and it is the most distinctive part of the game. When the penalty symbols line up, the reels give way to a view of the goal from the penalty spot. A goalkeeper stands in the middle and the net is covered with ten round targets, each hiding a prize. You get three balls, shown in the bottom-right corner, and each shot is aimed at the goal.

Our round started from a triggering spin with three PENALTY tiles on the first, third and fifth reels. The first shot beat the keeper – the screen flashed a big GOAL!!! – and the running total at the top of the screen showed 250.00, five times the stake. A value of 1,900.00 was displayed above another target on the net, which shows how much some of the targets can be worth at this stake.

Bonus Free Spins

The second feature is triggered by the BONUS pitch symbol. According to Apollo, landing three of them opens a bonus game with a random number of free spins. Our screenshots show a BONUS tile landing on the reels, but not the free spins themselves, so we cannot say how many spins the game tends to hand out or what they are worth.

The Numbers to Keep in Mind

A 500x ceiling is modest for a modern slot, and it fits the medium volatility Apollo gives the game. Our 55x full-screen hit shows that the base game alone can deliver a meaningful slice of that. The 85–99% RTP range is the other point to remember: two casinos can run the same TurboKick with very different long-term returns, so the RTP figure in the in-game help is the one that counts.

Graphics and Atmosphere

The reels float over a green pitch with the stands behind, the logo sits in orange at the top, and the controls run along a dark bar at the bottom with credit, winning and bet readouts in dollars. The penalty screen is the visual highlight, with the keeper diving across the goal and a comic-book GOAL burst when the ball goes in. It is a light-hearted take on the theme rather than a realistic one.

About Apollo Games

Apollo Games is based in Prague, and its online arm, Apollo Soft Ltd, holds a Malta Gaming Authority B2B licence (MGA/CRP/523/2018). The studio is best known in Central Europe and builds both online and land-based games; its game pages list Czech among the supported languages. TurboKick is one of its sports titles, and its official page describes three bonus elements: the penalty kick, the bonus game with a random number of free spins, and the yellow and red card scatters.

Who It Is For

TurboKick suits football fans who want something simple: 11 lines, stacked wild balls and a penalty shoot-out that feels like a real bonus game rather than a spin counter. The medium volatility and 500x cap keep it steady, and the variable RTP is the main thing to check before you start.
