Rapidly expanding content provider collaborates with a Brazilian legend ahead of a summer of football
Popular iGaming content provider BGaming challenges players to take on Brazilian goalkeeping legend Júlio César in their latest #Casual title, Penalty Duel with Júlio César.
The game follows the official announcement of the partnership between BGaming and Júlio César at SiGMA South America in April, where César generated significant buzz with an in-person appearance.
The keeper’s popularity across the LatAm market made him the perfect choice for the collaboration, with the game likely to resonate strongly with Latin American football fans, a key demographic for BGaming.
The release is also timed perfectly to coincide with the kick-off of the summer’s major soccer international tournament, which takes place throughout June and July.
In Penalty Duel with Júlio César, players take a first-person perspective as the kicker, attempting to score past the legendary former Brazilian number one to secure multipliers. The ex-Inter Milan and QPR shotstopper has been faithfully recreated, resulting in a fully immersive experience for players.
The mechanics have also been carefully designed for football fans and casual gamers. Its low to medium volatility, quick sessions, and mobile-friendly play make it perfect for players looking to keep up the football action during half-time or between matches. All of this is complemented by a maximum win of ×4,860 and a generous 96.14% RTP.
Like a real penalty shootout, there is a sense of anticipation in every kick, with the possibility of the Golden Ball feature when Buy Chance is activated. When this triggers, the ball turns golden, multiplying any winnings by five. The Buy Bonus feature, worth ×100 the player’s stake, instantly triggers a series of five automatic strikes with accumulative multipliers.
Football fans who pay close attention to the game might also uncover a series of Easter eggs. These are secret animations that can be triggered by in-game events, keeping curious players active and providing additional content for streamers and creators.
Vasili Pauliuchenko, Game Producer at BGaming, said, “Júlio is an extremely popular figure in Latin America and is a respected figure among football fans worldwide. He has been a pleasure to work with on this game, and we believe it really captures the spirit and excitement of a real-life penalty shootout.
Football is going to be the center of attention this summer, and this star-led game is the perfect addition for those looking for some casual gaming fun to go alongside it.”
