Match Point by InBet Games: An Arcade Football Shooting Game

Despite a name that sounds like tennis, Match Point from InBet Games is a football arcade game. Released in 2018, it drops balls from the top of the screen towards a goal in the bottom centre, and every ball that ends up in the net brings a win. It mixes pinball-like chance with a small skill element, which makes it quite different from reels or cards. You can watch how the balls bounce in the demo above before betting.

Balls, Goals and Skill Shots

You set a stake per ball and release them onto the pitch. Regular black and white balls pay from 1x to 5x your selected bet when they score, while gold balls are the big prizes, paying from 10x up to 500x the bet per goal. Players on the pitch get in the way, and here comes the twist: when attackers win a ball back, it can become a skill shot. A red arrow appears, and you click it to kick the ball towards goal yourself.

Bonus Match Rounds

LED panels around the pitch can be lit up during play, and activating them builds up bonus match rounds. Up to 20 of these can be collected, giving the game a sense of progress over a session. For the auto-playing option, the provider states a return to player of 90%, a figure worth keeping in mind when you decide how long to play.

Things to Keep in Mind

• Stakes are set per ball, so check your total spend
• Gold balls carry the top payouts
• Skill shots add involvement but do not guarantee goals

The quick pace and constant movement can make sessions fly by, so it is sensible to set a limit before you start.

Match Point is a lively change from standard casino games, with a football theme and some genuine interaction. If you enjoy arcade games and want something with a bit of action, try a few rounds in the free demo first.
