Kicker Mania by BGaming

The aim of Kicker Mania is to tap the soccer balls for a chance at kicking them into the goals. The soccer balls endlessly float down across the screen with a win multiplier value indicated on the front. For each tap on a ball you place one bet, and each tap has a chance to successfully kick the ball into the goal. Winning kicks award the win multiplier on the ball, and losing kicks do nothing. Below is a more detailed step-by-step on the game:

‍

‍

Step 1: Confirm your bet amount

Configure your bet value from $0.10 to $4,000. Bet values are pre-defined from a selection. Click the quick up-and-down arrows to adjust the bet size incrementally, or click the actual bet size value to expand the picker menu to choose any of the available bet sizes immediately.

Step 2: Start tapping soccer balls!

Kicker Mania is incredibly straightforward by design, but understanding the value and win probability of each soccer ball type is important to be successful. Soccer balls range in win multiplier and win probability. The higher the win multiplier, the lower the win probability. See the table below with all win multipliers and probability.

‍

‍

When clicking on any of the soccer balls, only 2 events can happen - The ball is kicked into the goal and awarded a win, or nothing happens and you try again. Remember, each time you tap the ball, win or lose, you are placing a bet and your balance is deducted accordingly.

Try Auto Play

It's not mandatory to use Auto Play, however in this game it can be useful if your finger gets tired or you want to just run the game in the background while you watch the World Cup. Auto Play allows you to choose not only how many bets to place, but exactly which balls to target and avoid, and even if the auto play should stop after a specific win or loss trigger is met. The Auto Play for this game is quite comprehensive and worth checking out.

‍

‍

The default theoretical Return to Player (RTP) is 97% and the maximum multiplier is 64x.

Below are the key game features of Kicker Mania by BGaming:

• Easter Eggs: The game is said to include hidden features by exploring the game and using the right trigger actions!
• Auto Play: The Auto Play feature in Kicker Mania is well designed and offers a lot of specificity to tailor the game to your liking. Define a bet value, number of rounds, stop conditions to cease Auto Play and even choose exactly which balls to target or avoid. With this flexibility you can create any combination of automation you could want.
• Bet Counter & Win Chance: Each ball will track the number of times you have attempted to kick it into the net. The counter tallies up with each attempt so you can see in real time if the ball remains profitable or not as the counter can actually exceed what you will get in return from a successful goal.
• 8 Fixed Win Multipliers: There are 8 types of soccer balls, each with different win values for kicking them into the goal. The multiplier wins are ×1.1, ×1.5, ×2, ×4, ×8, ×16, ×32, and the max win of ×64.

Kicker Mania is a reskin of the very original Balloon Mania by BGaming, repeating the same game mechanics, rtp and win probabilities we have seen before. This release is timed to compliment the start of the FIFA 2026 World Cup, offering a seasonal soccer skin of a familiar BGaming casual game.

In replacement of a popping balloon, Kicker Mania features a soccer goal in the background of a huge floodlight lit stadium where never ending soccer balls rain down slowly tempting you to try to kick them. If you’re successful, a golden boot will kick the ball into the net and you win the multiplier indicated on the ball. Pretty simple, much like the other releases of its kind that came before.

For us, we kind of wish this game included some additional creative upgrades from the previous releases. We’ve seen this before a couple of times, and it feels a bit of a low effort attempt to win over the football fans coming to play at the online casino. Maybe in the future we see an update with a feature round, higher value win multipliers or random events that boost our win probability or win value.
