There's nothing you can do on a computer that would be a match for seeing your favourite team beat the crap out of their opponents in the field!

Alas, games don't happen each day, and you can only make do with recordings and blogs for so long.

For the days when good games are scarce and you've already exhausted your reading quota for the day, here are two games that can offer you a much-needed football fix in the most playful form possible, at the Vegas Palms online casino.

Shoot!

A dash of nostalgia mixed with some great football action. The name "Shoot!" sounds familiar - the game, released in 2012 at the Vegas Palms online casino, is an homage paid to the long-running football magazine with the same name.

Shoot! was one of the most popular printed football magazines in the UK, with quality coverage of games and teams, and with a popular card and sticker collecting feature as well.

Shoot! is not only about a magazine, though - it is also a tribute to what many consider the "golden age" of football. Its reels are filled with symbols bearing the faces of legendary players - Brazil's Pelé, Argentina's Maradona, Netherlands' Cruyff, Germany's Beckenbauer, Ireland's Best, or England's own Keegan.

The game has five reels, three rows, 50 win lines, and some really great bonus rounds.

Triggered by three or more scattered bonus symbols, the Trade'em bonus will see players select trading cards with players from the 60s, 70s, and 80s, with prizes hidden underneath.

Said prizes are cash, free spins or the Magazine Bonus, where players can pick as many of the 12 magazines on the screen as they can until they find the Red Card, which ends the game.

Shoot! is a beautiful game, with an amazing retro look and feel - no wonder it's one of the most successful games at the Vegas Palms Casino.

Football Star

A more recent addition to the Vegas Palms game library, released in the wake of the 2014 FIFA World Cup. With five reels, three rows, and 243 ways to win, you might think that it's a game aimed at slots fans - but Football Star has an amazing atmosphere which will appeal to football fans, too.

The Football Star slot machine is the opposite of Shoot! - instead of honoring a magazine, or individual players, it reaches out to the sport itself for inspiration.

Its reels have players, referees, and other football-related symbols, with the ball having the most special role: triggering the game's Free Spins. All this with background sounds that will make you feel like really being at the stadium, waiting for the match to begin.
