Those who like gambling and are interested and knowledgeable about sports, most likely go straight to the sports betting section after opening their favourite online casino’s website. This shouldn’t be the default though. There are plenty of sports-themed casino games where one can wager their money, and the possibilities of winning combinations are endless.
If you are new to slots and virtual sports, though, it can be hard to decide where to start. There are thousands and thousands of slots out there and many of them are sports themed. Luckily for us, we could ask Péter Deli for some recommendations. Péter is an expert on online gambling (you can read more about him here) and he will tell us about his favourite sports-themed casino games.
1. Football Star
Football (and we mean soccer) is the most popular and watched sport in Hungary. No wonder that this game, that was released for the FIFA World Cup in 2014, is a really popular one. Featuring 5 reels and 3 rows, you have 243 ways to win. Hitting 3 or more football scatters will win you free spins.
2. Football Carnival
This Playtech game was also created for the World Cup in Brazil and features the amazing landscapes of Rio, putting the players into an exotic mood. The 50 paylines give a great possibility to win or to get new free spins.
3. Virtual Football
Out of football season? Don’t worry, you can still bet on virtual football. Before deciding which online casino to use to satisfy your betting needs, it is always recommended to check out some in-depth casino reviews. One of the most popular casinos in Hungary, EnergyCasino is offering a great variety of other virtual sports as well, such as tennis or horse racing.
4. Scudamore’s Super Stakes
This game is themed on horse racing and it features the legendary jockey Peter Scudamore. The virtual racing graphics are amazing and the odds are even better than on actual horse racing.
