On June 9th, 2016, Yggdrasil released a new video slot called Bicicleta, themed around football. It features a variety of game features including a Trophy Bonus where the trophy symbol can land on the fifth reel and provide the player with a coin win, trigger 8-12 free spins or turn the reel Wild. During free spin rounds, all wilds stick, giving the player the opportunity to score a goal with a Bicicleta kick. This football-themed slot release was timed perfectly for the European Football Championships in France.
Bicicleta is a 5-reel, 25-payline video slot with eight common symbols that pay out when three or more align on one of the 25 paylines. The game features a WILD symbol which substitutes all other symbols except for the free spins symbols and trophy.
The game boasts a high payout percentage with a Return to Player (RTP) of 96.3% and a top prize of £95,000 (on a £2 bet). The hit percentage of the game is 26.1%.
In addition, Bicicleta also features a trophy symbol that occasionally appears on the fifth reel. If it appears, a profit awaits the player with the possibility of winning 8-12 free spins and up to 1000 coins.
Yggdrasil has also added a Free Spins mode to Bicicleta. Three or more Free Spins symbols trigger the free spins mode and the rewards vary: 3 Free Spins symbols give 8 free spins; 4 Free Spins symbols give 16 free spins; 5 Free Spins symbols give 24 free spins.
During Free Spins mode, play symbols attempt to score goals when they appear on a reel. If they score, the symbol transforms into a Wild which sticks to the reels.
Although Bicicleta is designed with football fans in mind, it also appeals to adventurous casino players seeking new challenges. The game’s graphics and soundtrack may not be overwhelming, but it offers a fun free spins mode that can lead to substantial winnings.
For those who prefer to test the game without a financial commitment, Yggdrasil offers a demo version where you can play with play money.
