Ultimate Dream Team is a Push Gaming title from March 2016 designed around association football and features caricatures of some famous football players such as Ronaldo and Ronaldinho.
There's also someone who looks like Wayne Rooney, a goalkeeper who looks like Manuel Neuer, a Belgian who could be Radja Nainggolan and features as a stacked symbol. There's an Italian and an Argentinian.
Though you could never prove any of this in court, some more “real” players appear during the Dream Team bonus feature.
Ultimate Dream Team gameplay and bonus features
Ultimate Dream Team is a medium variance slot.
It's possible to go down to zero or to triple or even quadruple your starting bank with one good win, usually during the Dream Team Feature, but good solid wins happen during the base game, too.
The theoretical return to player (RTP) is 96.50%. The game can pay, but you need to be patient and have a large enough bankroll.
Graphics are very nice and will please all football fans who are used to this style in football-related games that resort to caricatures.
These are good, some of the best. The most important symbols are easily distinguishable from the worthless ones as they are golden, and there are seamless animations that you don't notice but which give the slot game a flavour—nicely done.
A bet can be between 25p and £250, and there are 25 pay lines.
Free spins bonus
This is one of the rare slot games where it's possible to finish the 5 free spins by winning £2 with a bet size of £25. Or even £0 on a £250 bet. It's because free spins are exactly that: free spins.
Although there is an extra multiplier, there are no special symbols or extra wilds that increase the probability of winning big during the free spins feature. They're just free spins.
This is a serious downside of Ultimate Dream Team as it frequently disappoints players who are used to winning big during bonus features. And that's just about everybody.
On the other hand, the stacked “Ronaldo” symbols, combined with the extra multiplier, can pay out massive amounts of money. Patience is a critical factor with this online slot.
Dream Team Feature
Fortunately, another bonus feature, Dream Team Feature, gets triggered when you get three Manager Scatter symbols. There are 12 players to pick from, and you get to pick until you pick two that have a yellow card. If you're lucky enough to select the second yellow card guy last, you'll have 11 players and the coach, and you'll get the Ultimate Dream Team Bonus Win, 30x your bet. This feature will regularly bring you money.
Our verdict
Overall, this is an enjoyable game that keeps you spinning the reels. It isn't dull, it pays and does so during the base game, and the only downside is the useless free spins feature.
But even with that, it's still worth playing because of all those other things Push Gaming has done right.
Ultimate Dream Team is an enjoyable slot game, especially if you are into football and like to play slots with a bit of variance.
