The Wombat says: Mr Foxin’ his wife and those incorrigible pups are back, but this time with a football them! Could this be a tie in with the World Cup 2018? Quite possibly.
NextGen have resurrected your fave aristocratic animals in Foxin’ Wins Football Fever that features the same loveable characters and the SuperBet option that this wombat is a very big fan of. So will it be a free kick or deserve a red card? Let’s get ready to play!
Look and Feel
Well it’s the usual story here: the Foxin’ family adorn the reels in their delightfully posh way but with a football twist – the twist being the action takse place with a ruddy great big soccer stadium in the background. The sound effects include a whole load of cheering and the decisive ‘peep’ of the ref’s whistle when the reels start to spin. Bright and cheerful, the graphics aren’t ground breaking but if it ain’t broke, why fix it?
Toon games like Foxing and the Two Fat Cats the Lost Ark slot will always be popular. We don’t expect them to be going anywhere any time soon.
Foxin’ Wins Football Fever Slot Game Play
Foxin’ Wins Football Fever slot has 5 reels, 3 rows and 25 paylines. Your symbols on the reels include Mrs Foxin’ waving a flag while driving a posh car, 2 cheeky pups having a kick around in the back garden, there’s even an ornate statue of Mr Foxin kicking a ball, rolls of cash, a trophy-style snow globe and a pair of pups having a kickabout in front of Foxin’ Towers.
Foxin himself complete with football strip ( that looks a bit like Newcastle United’s) is the wild icon in the slot, and will do the usual job of substituting for all other symbols (bar the scatter), to help you make extra wins.
Superbets
There are three levels of betting in this slot:
The first is your normal bet level at 0.25 a spin with your Wilds showing on reel 3 only, but if you up your bet level using the Superbet option Foxin’s pups (who are also now wearing football kits) will go crazy on the reels and dish out lots more wilds.
Superbet level 1: Here you’ll get wilds appearing on reels 1, 3 and 5, but the minimum bet goes up by 0.10 to 0.35 per spin
Superbet level 2: It’s wilds on reels 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 9 (aka all reels) with the minimum bet now at 0.50 per spin

Its the Free Spins where you’ll get your biggest wins wombat fans, which is all thanks to the nice little x2 mulitplier on all wins. But there’s more good news!

Keep your eyes peeled for Mr Foxin as he races across the reels chasing a cheeky leprechaun. Once he catches the little chap, Foxin’ will turn him upside down and empty his pockets – rewarding you with the extra coins. Hurrah!
Conclusion
