There Is No Neutral Ground

BGaming’s Ultras game immerses players in the atmosphere of a stadium where tensions are about to reach a critical point. The fans of the Red and Blue teams are riled up and ready to clash against each other, as well as against the police. As the tensions grow, it will be up to the players to decide whose side they are on.

By spinning the reels of Ultras, players will collect symbols representing various soccer fans. Some hold speakers as they cheer their teams, while others hold broken bottles and are ready to face off against fans of the opposite team.

The game pairs crisp graphics and sharp animation with dark visuals to further highlight the tension at the stadium.

Where the Real Trouble Starts

BGaming’s Ultras features a variety of features, such as expanding wilds that grow to cover the entire reel, making wins much easier.

However, the real trouble starts once players land on six or more bonus symbols and trigger the Hold & Win Bonus game. Once they do, the pent-up frustration of the fans explodes as they clash with police officers. The clash grants three random multipliers ranging from 2x to 15x. The multipliers are then added to random positions of the grid.

During the bonus round, players will collect only bonus symbols, all of which contain fixed values. Players start with three spins, but the counter resets each time players land on a bonus symbol. Collecting bonus symbols fills the Progress Bar, potentially applying a 2x or 3x multiplier to all bonus symbols.

Players who wish to jump straight into the fray can use the Buy Bonus feature to immediately trigger Hold & Win (in markets where this is allowed). Alternatively, players can activate the Chance x2 feature to double their chances of landing bonus symbols.

BGaming Decided to Focus on an Unexplored Topic

Nikita Zavadsky, BGaming’s custom games product owner, commented on the new release, saying that soccer subculture is an unorthodox topic that slot games do not explore often. At the same time, it has a “raw, authentic energy” that fans immediately recognize, Zavadsky said.

The wanted stars system and the animated clashes are ways to make the gameplay feel even more realistic. The result is a slot that should surprise classic Hold and Win players and bring something genuinely different to the #Entertainment category.

The launch comes shortly after BGaming launched Clash of Gods: Anubis vs Hades, where players can stake on a conflict between the two gods of the underworld.
