The high octane world of American Football is the theme of this online slot from Inspired Gaming which mixes spinning reels with real life action during the bonus feature; it’s called 1st Down and you can find out how it all works right here.

1st Down is a five reel slot with three rows and thirty fixed paylines; load the game up and you’ll get to choose from eight different teams although this can always be changed later if you take a dislike to your chosen side. The choices are the Bobcats, the Cyclones, the Diablos, the Stags, the Stormers, the Comets, the Sabres and the Hawks.

The high value symbols include the logo of your chosen team, three players wearing that teams’ colour and a ball; J, Q, K and A represent the lower values.

The wild looks a bit like the NFL logo, it appears on reels two, three and four and it will replace all others to help form winning combos except for the gold multiplier coins (showing 1x to 10x).

Bonus Features

1st Down Bonus

This is triggered by landing five of the gold coins anywhere in view; you’ll now get to watch a series of plays by your team in which they try to complete passes, move forwards and score touchdowns or field goals. A touchdown is worth 6x the sum of the multiplier values on the gold coins and a field goal is worth 3x.

The play continues until one of your passes is intercepted by the opposition or a field goal is missed.

Verdict

1st Down is an interesting slot which places a lot of weight on the bonus feature which certainly does have some fantastic graphics and collision mechanics; the base gameplay is equally colourful and fast-moving and if you’ve ever wondered how Gridiron works then give this a go.
