Sports Bonanza Accumul8 Slot Information

Sports Bonanza Accumul8 is a great celebration of several sports, but there's no doubt the biggest one is football. We're standing on a football pitch surrounded by packed stands of people. The music is a mix of a football chant and modernized march music. You can also hear the crowd cheering and whistling now and then. To make a win, you need to land 8 of the same symbols anywhere on the reels. When making a win, the involved symbols will disappear into the air, making room for new ones falling from above, giving you a chance to make consecutive cascading wins. The game is available on desktops, notepads, and mobile phones.

The lower-paying symbols in Sports Bonanza Accumul8 are bowling ball, pool ball, baseball, basketball, and American football. They pay between 0.2X and 0.75X the bet for a win of 8 symbols and 1X to 6X the bet for a win containing at least 12 symbols. Moving up to the more valuable symbols, we find tennis ball, golf ball, cricket ball, and rugby ball. These symbols pay 1X to 2X the bet for a 8 symbol win, and 7.5X-50X the bet for a win containing at least 12 symbols. There are no Wild Symbols, but Multiplier Football Symbols can land and multiply all wins in a cascading session. The Scatter Symbol is a golden trophy with a star.

Sports Bonanza Accumul8 Slot Features

What is the max win in the slot Sports Bonanza Accumul8?

You can win up to 20000X the bet.

What features are available in the slot Sports Bonanza Accumul8?

The features are Cascading Wins, Multiplier Symbol, Scatter Symbol, Free Spins, and Bonus Buy.

Cascading Wins

Whenever you make a win, the involved symbols vanish into the air, and new ones fall down. If you can make a new win, the involved symbols will once again disappear while the grid is filled up with new symbols. These cascading wins belong to the same spin and continue until no more win is made.

Multiplier Symbol

In the base game, bronze and silver footballs can appear. The first one has a multiplier between 2X and 10X, and the latter one has a multiplier between 12X and 25X. Whenever a multiplier lands, it stays on the reel until no more wins can be made. Its value is then multiplied by the total win of the spin session. If several multipliers are present, their values will be added together before being multiplied by the win. In the base game, silver multipliers can only appear on reels 3 and 4. In the free spins, a third golden multiplier worth between 30X and 250X can appear.

Scatter Symbol

The Scatter Symbol is a golden trophy with a star that can appear anywhere on the grid. Landing 3, 4, or 5 scatters anywhere on the reels will award 10, 15, or 20 spins. Landing 2, 3, 4, or 5 scatters in the free spins awards 3, 5, 10, or 15 extra spins.

Free Spins

You end up in this feature by landing at least 3 scatters anywhere. The free spins use a different reel set than the base game. Light & Wonder doesn't reveal if it's just added golden multipliers that make the difference or if other symbols change too. The feature ends when the player runs out of spins.

Bonus Buy

You can pay 75X the bet for a spin that will guarantee to give you 3, 4, or 5 scatter symbols, awarding you 10, 15, or 20 free spins.  

Sports Bonanza Accumul8 Slot Conclusion

Sports Bonanza Accumul8 may not win any awards for its name, but we've got to give Light & Wonder some credit for creating a witty name for this game where you make wins with 8 symbols or more, no matter where they land. It resembles the tumble game Subbuteo Star Striker (speaking of weird titles) because the symbols pay no matter where they end up. Sports Bonanza is a proper slot, though, and can pay up to the max win 20000X the bet, which Subbuteo players can only dream of.

While in the free spins, the reel set changes by adding the golden multiplier symbol that can multiply wins up to 250X the bet. The rules don't tell us if the setup changes in other ways too, but our feeling is that it's easier to make bigger wins in the free spins than in the regular game. Restless players who want to try it out can pay the pretty affordable Bonus Buy for 75X the bet.

Casino slots with sports themes are pretty hard to find. One exception is the recent soccer game Spininos Game Day, where you follow cartoon-looking wilds passing a ball on the reels. Although Sports Bonanza Accumul8 isn't as gamified, it will definitely be an excellent choice for some players. The RTP of 95.95% is just a little too low to please us, though, and make sure not to play any of the other versions with even lower RTP.

Sports Bonanza Accumul8 from Light & Wonder takes the player on a journey through all kinds of sports, where you can make wins by landing 8 symbols anywhere, without having to care about paylines.
