There is no question that sports betting has, along with playing at online casino sites such as http://www.luckynuggetcasino.com/au/ become the most popular form of gambling. Of course sports fans have always enjoyed putting a bet on with a bookmaker, but the ease and convenience with which it is possible to do this nowadays has made it more widespread than ever. Although people bet on all different kinds of sports, there can be little disputing that soccer is the one that most people wager on – especially English Premier League football.

Indeed the fact that the Premier League enjoys such a high profile is a pretty major contributing factor to the rising success of sports betting, because so many people all over the world watch the matches and bet on the outcomes with sports betting sites. The Premier League offers people a huge variety of betting markets, including gambling on the winners of individual matches and future bets on the winners, European qualifiers and relegation candidates, and a sure sign of the impact it has had on the sports betting sector is the fact that online casino sites are now producing casino games aimed at football fans.

One of the many examples of this is the slot game Soccer Safari, which was originally produced to coincide with the last World Cup, but has since gone on to become a favorite casino game for football fans. It is a five reel, thirty pay line video slot, which offers some of the best graphics around to depict animals like lions, warthogs and cheetahs, rampaging around a jungle stadium in their own World Cup. There is a nod to Premiership fans in the curious resemblance that the elephant with the commentator’s mic bears to Gary Lineker, while the great bonus game where you have to score goals from dead ball situations will appeal to fans of any football league. It is the standard of the gaming, coupled with the $8000 maximum cash jackpot available, that have made Soccer Safari such a popular game.

Have any readers played these games or bet online?
