ICONIC21 takes to the pitch with the release of Soccer World Championship
Multiplier-driven slot from in-demand igaming content provider pairs a 5×5 grid with a duelling Expanding Wild mechanic and two distinct bonus modes.
Press release.- Prepare for kick-off on the world’s biggest sporting stage in Soccer World Championship, a new multiplayer-driven slot built on the tension of penalty shootouts from in-demand igaming content provider ICONIC21.
Built on a 5×5 grid with 15 paylines, the title builds upon the single most decisive moment in the sport – the penalty – and turns it into a recurring, high-stakes mechanic.
At the heart of the game is the penalty symbol, which transforms into an expanding wild and triggers a live duel between a striker and a goalkeeper. Each carries a multiplier of between 2x and 100x, and the outcome of the duel decides who stays on the reel. Multiple expanding wilds on the same payline combine their multipliers into a single win.
Three goalkeeper bonus symbols trigger a bonus game with frequent penalty symbols, where multipliers from expanding wilds build up a global multiplier active for all wins.
Three Striker Bonus symbols instead activate a bonus game where all expanding wilds lock in place as sticky wilds until the final whistle.
Its football theme makes it a natural fit for tournament season campaigns and seasonal promotions.
The release adds to a fast-growing ICONIC21 slot portfolio that has expanded well beyond the provider’s live casino roots since its rebrand, reflecting a continued push into original, format-led titles.
Edvardas Sadovskis, chief product officer at ICONIC21, said: “Football is the one sport where a single moment can decide everything, and that is exactly the feeling we set out to build a slot around.
“The penalty duel puts that tension at the heart of the base game, and the two bonus modes give players genuinely different ways for the match to play out. It’s a title with an instantly recognisable hook, strong seasonal reference and the kind of standout mechanic that earns its place in any operator’s lobby.”
