BGaming teams up with Brazilian icon Júlio César for football-themed Penalty Duel release

BGaming has launched Penalty Duel with Júlio César, a new title in its #Casual portfolio featuring the former Brazilian national team goalkeeper.

The BGaming demo follows the official partnership announcement between BGaming and Júlio César at SiGMA South America in April, where the football legend made an in-person appearance that generated attention during the event.

According to BGaming, César's popularity across Latin America made him a natural choice for the collaboration. The game is expected to appeal to Latin American football fans, a significant audience segment for the supplier.

The launch also coincides with the major international soccer tournament taking place throughout June and July.

Penalty kicks take center stage

In Penalty Duel with Júlio César, players assume the role of a penalty taker from a first-person perspective, attempting to score against the former Brazilian No. 1 goalkeeper to secure multipliers.

The former Inter Milan and QPR player has been recreated within the game. The title combines low-to-medium volatility gameplay, short play sessions, and mobile compatibility, targeting players seeking football-themed entertainment during halftime or between matches.

The game offers a maximum win of ×4,860 and an RTP of 96.14%.

A Golden Ball feature becomes available when Buy Chance is activated. When triggered, the ball turns gold and multiplies any winnings by five.

Players can also activate a Buy Bonus feature valued at ×100 the player's stake, which immediately launches a series of five automatic strikes with accumulating multipliers.

Additional content hidden in gameplay

The title includes a series of Easter eggs that can be unlocked through specific in-game events. These hidden animations are designed to encourage continued player engagement while providing additional content opportunities for streamers and creators.

"Júlio is an extremely popular figure in Latin America and is a respected figure among football fans worldwide,” said Vasili Pauliuchenko, Game Producer at BGaming. “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," Pauliuchenko added.
