Bicicleta

This slot game is not about the Tour de France, or The Bicycle Thief, or really about bikes at all. Bicicleta gets its name from a type of kick used in football – or, given the spelling of "Bicicleta", futbol. It's your standard slot machine experience, with a football theme, and it's very fun.

Bicicleta is set in a massive stadium, and it is filled to the rafters with rabid fans. Interestingly, the reels are transparent so the player can see the stadium at all times. And following with the football theme, each of the card suit symbols – purple spades, red hearts, green clubs and blue diamonds – are imprinted with football hexagons.

The other images on the reels include cartoon football player portraits (although there is no one famous, just artist's renderings), a WILD card, and a FREE SPIN card featuring a football. Three free spin cards, and you get 24 free spins – a big number for a slot game. And it gives you more chances to get the silver trophy image. If it appears while you're doing your free spins, there's a wild reel feature with sticky wilds – plus you win 1,000 credits. During regular spins, you get up to 12 free spins and 1,000 credits. And with the big jackpot you get 250x your bet.

The grid has five reels with four rows each, a nice departure from the usual slots, and there are 25 pay lines. The dashboard reminds us of a car's dashboard, with clear controls and a sleek design. The sound effects add to the excitement without being too annoying. Wear your team's colors and get ready to root for the home team – you!
