Theme – pay homage to the greatest of all time

With a football theme, the Maradona slot is the official game that pays homage to Diego Maradona. Known as the greatest footballer of all time, he passed away in November 2020. Celebrating iconic moments from his illustrious footballing career, Maradona was 1 of 2 joint winners of the FIFA Player of the 20^th Century award and was nicknamed El Pibe de Oro (The Golden Boy).

Featuring pictures of Maradona for various teams he played for in a mural style as the backdrop, the soundtrack has a distinct South American flavour (like it’s been taken from Strictly Come Dancing). On the reels, low value symbols include A, K, Q and J royals. The 4 higher value symbols are represented by the teams Maradona played for.

You have Boca Juniors Maradona, Barcelona Maradona, Napoli Maradona and Argentina Maradona (all the main clubs/teams he played for). The Argentina Maradona symbol is the best paying with 3, 4 or 5 awarding 0.5, 2.5 or 40 x your total bet.

There is an Argentinian Flag Wild symbol which substitutes for all symbols except Maradona scatters and golden football cash symbols.

Maradona Mobile

Despite the graphics have a retro feel, Maradona has been produced with HTML5 technology. This means you can play away on mobile, laptop, PC and tablet devices. The 5×3 setup works well on any device. If you’re a smartphone user, you can play the game on iOS, Android and Windows devices.

Maradona Bonus Features

The Maradona slot comes with 4 bonus features. The Cash Collect feature can see 1 of 4 Maradona images collect cash symbols, respins with cash symbols, a cash boost to your total prize and multiplier up to 5x. This applies in the El Pibe de Oro feature where you’ll get 1 D10S Super Spin where totalled collected cash prizes can be won.

Cash Collect feature

Look out for golden football cash symbols which appear on reels 1, 2, 3 and 4. When a special D10S Maradona symbol lands on reel 5, the Cash Collect feature is triggered. The D10S symbol expands and reveals 1 of 4 Maradona images. Here’s what they do:

El Pibe de Oro feature

The El Pibe de Oro feature is activated when 3 Maradona Scatter symbols appear simultaneously on reels 2, 3 and 4 in the base game. With 10 free spins awarded, the Cash Collect feature remains in play.

Any cash symbols appearing on the reels are added to the cashpots above each reel. After 9 free spins, all cash symbols are upgraded to display the value in the cashpot above the corresponding reel.

Reel 5 changes to a special Maradona symbol. This is known as the D10S Super Spin feature. Then reels 1, 2, 3 and 4 respin with any cash symbols landing being awarded. You could get any of the 4 Maradona special symbols which will award 1 of the 4 Cash Collect elements. If you get the Argentina Maradona for example, a multiplier of up to 5x will applied to all winnings.

Furthermore, landing 3 Maradona scatters on the 3 middle reels will award a retrigger and another 10 free spins. This can occur indefinitely meaning unlimited free spins. It’s unsure at this stage if Blueprint Gaming will include a Bonus Buy feature.

Finally, there a Super Bonus feature. You can trigger the free spins with the D10S symbol on reel 5. This will lead to the Collect, Respin Collect, Cash Boost or Collect Cash Boost applying on every free spin.

Maradona Review Summary – cash symbols key to big wins

The Maradona slot isn’t as high-end visually as other productions such as The Goonies or Primal Megaways for example. However, if you’re a football fan, you’ll like this branded release.

Celebrating the career of 1 of football’s greatest ever players, the gameplay focuses on the Cash Collect feature. Depending on which Maradona image the D10S symbol reveals, you can benefit from collected cash symbols, respins with cash symbols, a cash boost to your win or a multiplier up to 5x. You want the Argentina (Collect Cash Boost) to land to get the bigger wins.

In the free spins, triggering the feature with the D10S symbol on reel 5 will lead to a super version where 1 of 4 Cash Collect options will apply on each free spin. Offering max wins of 50,000 x your total bet, the Collect Cash Boost has the most popular as a multiplier up to 5x can apply to all cash symbols. You will need a lot of them though to win big.

With good win potential and plenty of variety from the Cash Collect feature, Maradona is perfect for football fans. The question remains whether he is the greatest of all time though but he’s surely up there.
