We are just days away from the biggest sporting event to hit the globe in four years (it’s already been four years since the last one). I’m talking about the Football World Cup!

This year, the African country of South Africa is playing host to the event, and fans are calling this the most exciting one yet.

32 teams are participating in this year’s Football World Cup, including all the big guns: Brazil, England, Germany, The Netherlands, Italy, Portugal, Spain and France. With a total of 64 matches to be played, from kick-off on the 11th of June to the Final on the 11th of July 2010, the excitement surrounding the games is going to be electric.

Those who may not have been fortunate enough to make their way to the African continent to watch any of the games will still be able to get a taste of the fever for themselves with many across-the-board campaigns and promotions taking place and coinciding with the event.

Online casinos are no exception to this, and an industry leader such as Royal Vegas is giving players the opportunity to take to the pitch and captain the winning team, so to speak!

Heading up the list of new games for June is the Soccer Safari Video Slot.

With Wilds, Scatters and other additional bonus features, this 5-reel 30-payline online slot game takes the glory of the game to new heights by presenting you with the chance to be victorious with a 60,000-coin top prize.

Another exciting venture this month sees the casino launch the eagerly awaited Soccer Fever Promotion. To coincide with the Round of 16, this promotion kicks off on the 18th of June, and comes to a head on the 10th of July 2010. With four weeks of head-to-head competition, players will be pitted against each other, showing off their football skill to the max and securing wins of 10,000 credits, triple Bonus Rewards Points and plenty of moments to shout about.

The world will unite in Football mania in a few short days; don’t be left out of all the fun that this grand event has in store for all fans across the globe.
