Best NFL-Themed Slots to Play When There's No Game On

Football Rush

Football Rush

Available at: DraftKings, BetMGM, FanDuel | RTP: 96.02% | Max Win: 500x

Football Rush ditches the traditional reel mechanics found at most online slots sites and replaces it with a retro arcade football field where a random pattern of ten blocks is dropped onto the pitch, mapping out a route for your receiver. 

Watch your bobblehead wide receiver run that post or fade as the blocks unfold, and with every additional block you land, your win grows. Make it to the end zone and you're looking at up to 500x your stake on a single drive.

Dan Marino Gunslinger

Dan Marino Gunslinger

Available at: DraftKings, BetMGM, FanDuel | RTP: 93.99% | Max Win: 10,000x

The moment I heard Dan Marino himself appears on screen to congratulate you when you trigger the jackpot, I was in. This 5x3 reel, 20-payline slot is a worthy tribute to one of the greatest pure passers the game has ever seen.

The graphics have this gorgeous early-Madden quality to them that hits different if you grew up playing those games. The mechanics are also stacked, including a Dan Marino Wild that turns an entire reel wild and a Pick Your Receiver mini-game where you choose one of four wide receivers for a multiplier.

There’s also an End Zone Blitz bonus round where you move the chains yard by yard, unlocking up to 20 free spins with multipliers that build to 25x. If that wasn’t enough, there are three progressive jackpots offering thematic variance, with the MEGA starting at a $15,000 reseed value. Players have won over $100,000 from a single spin.

Detroit Lions Big Kick LuckyTap

Detroit Lions Big Kick LuckyTap

Available at: BetMGM | RTP: 96.73% | Max Win: 1,000x

This is a BetMGM exclusive and a fun gamification of NFL field goals which is aimed squarely at online sports betting punters. You play the role of the heroic kicker, stepping up to take the game-winning shot. The ball goes up - does it split the uprights or land disastrously short and you’re forced to dodge beer cans from angry fans?

A winning kick awards between 3 and 18 cash prizes, and when the multiplier feature activates, it slaps a random 2x to 7x boost on top. What keeps me coming back is the LuckyTap progressive jackpot with no upper limit, which means every kick carries genuine top-end potential.

Lions fans specifically are going to feel something when they play this as you get to run out onto Ford Field and slot the ball directly through goalposts and into the Lions logo!

Gridiron Goal

Gridiron Goal

Available at: DraftKings, BetMGM, FanDuel, Caesars | RTP: 93.88% | Max Win: 1,000x

Picture a one-armed bandit slapped directly in the middle of a football field, that's Gridiron Goal. This is an old-school 3-reel and 3-row slot. There are just 5 paylines to work with, so you’re never in danger of missing a winning combination.

The Multiplier Wilds are where it gets interesting. When you land one wild in a winning combination, you get a 2x boost, if you land two, it jumps to 4x. 

Keep an eye out for the bonus symbols. Hit 5 or more to bag 10 free games, with the multiplier scaling up depending on how many you triggered all the way up to a 5x multiplier if you land 9 bonus symbols. Also, did you know you can trigger up to 1,000 bonus games?
