Goal

“Goal” Casino Game Review

“Goal” is a very interesting and unique game developed by an intriguing game studio – Spribe – dedicated to delivering completely authentic products to the iGaming industry. As such, “Goal” has gained a lot of popularity ever since its release, up until today. If we are being objective, this game, together with all other Spribe games is “bound” to success in the long run of the industry.

The name of the game can be misleading or ambiguous. However, Spribe has done a very good job at explaining it, once you begin playing. Since it will be hard to know which “Goal” we are talking about, in this article, we will refer to the game using the parenthesis – “Goal”.

Gameplay & Rules

“Goal” is a game that, just like any other Spribe game, comes in a completely unique and minimalistic setting. Not only that, but the developer knows exactly what it’s doing when it comes to colors.

We say that because the color coordination for every Spribe game is completely unique and gives a totally different vibe, depending on the color in question. You will find the interface to be easy to use, which makes the game easy to understand. However, let’s start explaining the layout, rules, etc. of the game.

“Goal” meets you in a sort of a virtual football field (although it doesn’t look much like it). You have a football/soccer ball which you will be “shooting” at different tiles. You can also choose between 3 different Field Sizes – Small, Medium, and Big. In this section, we will be giving examples using the Medium-sized field.

The Medium field comes in 4 rows with 7 different reels. When the round starts, you will have to shoot the ball in any of the 4 rows on the 1st reel.

The goal is to land the ball in a clean space, where you will be getting the multiplier shown below each reel. For example, in the Medium field, the first reel offers a 1.29x multiplier.

If the ball falls in a slot where a bomb is present, the round is over and you lose your bet amount.

The interesting thing here is that once you land the ball without triggering a bomb, the multiplier will be increasing. However, you will also be given a chance to cash out immediately.

Of course, the longer you stay on the field without triggering bombs, the more reels you will be going through, and the bigger the multiplier will be.

Each time you start a new round, the bombs are relocated randomly.

On the left side of the field (or on the bottom for mobile users), you will see the betting settings. You will be able to bet anywhere between $0.10 and $100. Of course, just like with any other Spribe game, you will also have the preset betting options of $1, $3, $5, and $10.

Return To Player (RTP) & Game Volatility

“Goal” comes with an RTP of 97%, which is the RTP of all Spribe games. This percentage is way better than the RTP of many other games you can find in the industry, giving players an advantage.

The RTP percentage of any game is calculated through usually 10+ million simulated bets done by a computer. This is how developers complete their game as well, testing the RTP.

However, this also means that you will need to play a bit longer to get closer to that 97% RTP.

As for the game volatility, you will be playing in a medium volatile environment. Unlike video slots, the volatility here is hard to calculate, because there’s a limited number of options, although the result is completely random every time.

Tips & Tricks

Here, you will find a couple of tips and opinions on how to play “Goal”. This section is mostly targeted toward new players, so if you already have experience with similar games you can skip this section.

Before we get there, let us discuss something. First of all, there are many players claiming to know ways to win bigger and better at casino games.

The truth, however, is that you can only try your best to minimize the risk while playing.

Since “Goal” is a game that involves mostly chance and some amount of greed, things are a bit different. Of course, we know that every time the bombs are placed randomly, but this doesn’t mean that there is no way to optimize the outcome.

Without further ado, let’s get right into it.

• Tip 1: “Goal” is a game that has a Demo version. In fact, all games developed by Spribe come with a Demo version you can try out. We strongly suggest doing that before you start playing the game for real money.

That’s because, although the game is amazing and really fun to play according to many, there are players who do not enjoy it. Make sure you test out each Field Size and use different strategies to see how it goes.

• Tip 2: Try playing in different Field Sizes. This will optimize your chances of winning. For example, Although the Small field size looks like a low-volatility field, it actually is not. That’s because the chances of losing are higher, due to the lack of a row.

This means that the Small field size comes with a 33% chance of losing on the first reel, while the Big sized field comes with a 20% chance of losing.

However, it should also be noted that the smaller the field, the faster the multipliers grow, although they do not reach the ones of the bigger fields.

• Tip 3: Make sure to cash out on time. This means – don’t get too greedy when you see you are skipping reels without triggering bombs. Whenever you have the chance, it is better to go off with a lower multiplier than expected, than to lose your whole bet.

Some players even play using the strategy of not triggering a mine on the first reel and immediately cashing out. We suggest going back to the Demo version and trying this one out for yourself.

Closing Thoughts

“Goal” is surely one of the better games out in the industry right now. In fact, we and many other players believe that Spribe games are here to stay. Not only because they are a breath of fresh air in the industry, but also because of how cool their games are.

They are very interactive and unique, making them a great choice for those who are tired of traditional games such as video slots, table games, live casino games, etc.
