World Cup Night

World Cup Night Overview

World Cup Night is a football-themed video slot from SimplePlay, released on 10 October 2022, just ahead of that year’s World Cup. It plays on a 5x3 grid with 30 paylines, and the reels are packed with strikers, defenders and a goalkeeper under stadium floodlights. SlotCatalog lists stakes from 0.20 to 150 per spin, but gives no RTP, volatility or maximum win for the game, so we do not quote those figures here either.

Look and Feel

The presentation borrows from a big match night rather than a quiet stadium. Concert-style spotlights sweep across the background, a crowd of silhouetted fans cheers along the bottom of the screen, and club crests sit on the side panels next to the “30 lines” markers. The high-paying symbols are portraits of footballers in blue and purple kits, plus a goalkeeper in gloves, while the low-paying symbols are the familiar card values 9, 10, J, Q, K and A in bright metallic colours.

Symbols and Special Icons

The ball is the wild and substitutes for the regular player symbols. The goalkeeper is the scatter: three of them start the free spins round, and the feature can award additional spins while it runs. SlotCatalog also lists random and additional wilds and a progressive jackpot among the features.

The Extra Reel Wild

The most striking moment we saw in the demo was the Extra Reel Wild. A player launches a bicycle kick, the ball flies across the screen and the whole of reel 2 turns wild. With a full wild reel in the second position, every line that starts with a matching symbol on reel 1 has a much better chance of reaching three of a kind.

What We Saw

We played with a coin value of 0.01 across all 30 lines, with a line bet of 6, for a total stake of 1.80 per spin. One spin paid 0.96, including a line 2 hit worth 0.12 that combined a ball wild with a player symbol. Another returned 0.90, where line 6 formed a 9–ball–9 combination for 0.30. Both were modest returns on a 1.80 stake, which is typical of base-game hits on a 30-line slot.

The Extra Reel Wild appeared during the same session. After the bicycle-kick animation, reel 2 showed nothing but balls, so any first-reel symbol that matched on reel 3 would complete a line.

Who It Is For

World Cup Night suits players who like a lively sports theme and a classic 5x3 layout with a clear wild, scatter and free spins structure. Because the key maths figures are not published, we recommend taking a few rounds in the free demo on the left before staking real money.
