Football Game At Sky Vegas

Most people will already know that Sky broadcasts many live football matches and covers football news on its Sky Sports TV channels, but recently the football theme has turned up in a somewhat less obvious location as part of Sky’s various enterprises. Sky Vegas is an online casino site run by Sky Betting and Gaming, a subsidiary of the main Sky company. One of the games currently featured on the online casino website is based around the concept of star football legends. It is a digital version of the popular card game Top Trumps, in which cards bear certain statistics, and higher values beat the lower ones.

With football Top Trumps at Sky Vegas, the aim is to choose the value on your current card that you think will definitely be higher than the corresponding statistic on your opponent’s. Each card represents a football player, such as Wayne Rooney or Johan Cruyff. The six statistics included on every card are year of birth, international caps, international goals, number of clubs, honours and the hall of fame value. For example, if you had a particularly young player, you might choose to play his year of birth because it will be a higher value than an older player.

That’s how the basics of the game work, but you also have to factor in the betting element. After your card of the round has been revealed but before you choose your statistic, you must set how high a stake you want to play. You can increase the value in pounds, starting at a minimum of £1.

Sky Vegas also includes odds in the Top Trumps games, so that when you are choosing your statistic you can see the odds of your win beside it. This means you can make decisions based on how likely you are to choose a winning statistic, and how much of a payout you will receive if you do.

Football Top Trumps is just one of the many games on offer at the Sky Vegas online casino. It’s a popular choice due to its football theme and the simplicity of the game play, as you can quickly collect a small stash of money if you play your cards right. Sky Vegas also has a corresponding channel on Sky TV, which can be purchased as part of the Sky Variety Entertainment Package. You can play some of the best Sky Vegas games on your television if you add this channel to your subscription. Sky Vegas also has a sister site, Sky Poker, which also has a channel on Sky TV.
