Football Fortunes pokie: up to 100 free games and a shootout

What is the Football Fortunes pokie?

In Australia "football" can mean four different codes. Football Fortunes means the round-ball game, complete with a penalty shootout. It's a pokie with a sporting theme, and Fair Go publishes three specs for it: 50 paylines, up to 100 free games with triple wins, and a penalty shootout bonus round.

Fair Go's site-wide provider is Spin Logic, but no studio appears on this game's listing. There's no RTP, volatility rating, top award or bet range published for it either.

A football theme, not a football bet

This needs saying plainly. Football Fortunes is a pokie, so every result comes from a random number generator the moment you spin. Real matches, team form and your football knowledge play no part. The shootout is an animation of a result the game has already decided.

Real football also has a natural end: a final whistle. A pokie doesn't. There's no half-time and no full-time, so set your own stopping point before you start, either a dollar figure or a time.

If you came here looking to bet on real football, this isn't that. Fair Go's game pages list pokies, table games, video poker and specialty games, not sports betting. Our guide to how pokies work explains the random number generator behind every spin.

Up to 100 free games with triple wins

On paper, 100 free games is a big number, and Fair Go puts "up to" in front of it for a reason. It's the maximum, not the usual award. In many pokies the count depends on how many trigger symbols land, and the top tier is the rarest. Fair Go doesn't publish the trigger or the smaller awards.

Every win during the round pays triple. A 15-coin line win becomes 45 coins. Fair Go doesn't say whether the free games can retrigger. For comparison, Cash Bandits 3 lists up to 390 free games in its vault bonus.

A long round isn't automatically a big one. A hundred free games made of small line wins can still pay less than a handful of big hits in a shorter round.

A practical point: long free-game rounds play out on your current stake. If a bonus is active, the $10 bet cap applies to the stake you set before the round starts.

The Football Fortunes penalty shootout bonus

Fair Go lists a penalty shootout bonus round and leaves it there. In pokies with a shootout theme, the round is usually a pick-style bonus: you choose where to aim, and each kick reveals a prize. If Football Fortunes works that way, picking a corner feels like skill, but the prizes behind each choice are settled at random. Choosing left or right doesn't change the expected value.

1. Open the game from Fair Go's lobby (18+ only) and read the shootout rules in the info screen.
2. Set your line bet. Across all 50 lines, 2c a line works out to $1 a spin, as an example.
3. Spin and let the features come to you. Neither bonus can be bought or forced.
4. Stop at your limit, win or lose.

What Fair Go doesn't publish about Football Fortunes

• RTP. Missing. Fair Go's library-wide 97% Operator claim doesn't tell you this game's number.
• The free-game trigger and the smaller awards below 100.
• Shootout rules and prizes.
• Volatility, top award and bet range.

Pick bonuses and triple wins are explained in our pokies glossary, and you can compare with other titles on our new pokies page.
