The 5x3 grid is put in the middle of a crowded stadium, with confetti frozen in the air around it. To win, matching symbols must appear from the leftmost side of the grid on three to five adjacent reels. For lows, green grassland 10-A card ranks are offered, resulting in a payout of 1-1.5x the bet for five of a type, whilst high pays are a ball, audience members, and three football action sequences, worth 2 to 4 times the stake. Trophies are also good; in Football Finals X UP slot, they are represented by the wild symbol, which appears on all five reels. When a wild symbol appears, it expands to occupy the entire reel and replaces all symbols except scatters. A single winning combination of five wilds yields a payout of 4.5x the wager.
Scatter symbols appear on all three central reels. When exactly two scatters appear, they award an X UP Token, which is collected on the metre adjacent to the reels. Collecting X UP Tokens doubles the multiplier for free spins. Multiplier levels are x2, x3, x4, x5, x6, x7, x8, and x10. Activating the x10 multiplier in the base game awards free spins. Multipliers are stored at the bet level.
When three scatter symbols appear, free spins are awarded. A total of 8 free spins are given, coupled with a cash prize of 2x the bet. While free spins are active, landing two scatters rewards an additional two free spins, and X UP Tokens gathered during the game can raise the multiplier.
When free spins are triggered without the x10 multiplier, players can spend more for a greater multiplier value. Collecting X UP Tokens reduces the cost of multiplier upgrades. Football Finals X UP allows players who enjoy the 'beautiful game' to experiment with Alchemy Gaming's mechanics.
