When everything is going right with summer, it's the happiest time of the year. When the sun is out, the weather is hot -- but not humid -- and everyone is out beaching and barbecuing you'll have that feeling that can rival Christmas morning. Unfortunately, no summer is perfect.

There are those wasted days of summer. Those days where it rains or all you see are grey skies, and let's not forget the days you have to stay inside and work. That's when the summertime blues sets it; it's enough to make a grown man cry.

But there is a cure, a casino cure to be more exact. It's a casino game of pure fun that we guarantee will have you hooked more than that Mafia game on Facebook, Soccer Shot.

Soccer Shot opens a new class of games based on Japanese Pachinko, a vertical style of pinball machine which has gained enormous popularity in Asia. Between 40 and 50 million people play these pinball games and as many as 30 million are devoted players. The games are unique and include state of the art physics engines.

To play you just need to choose the amount of credits, or shots, you want to roll with, line up your "soccer shooter" then fire! You can shoot one puck at a time or let all your credits rip. The object is to avoid the pinball-like barriers in your way and get your shots in the net that'll pay you credits.

There are three levels of games with three different field formations: Rookie, Intermediate and Pro. On harder levels it is more difficult to pot a puck and claim a prize, but the prizes are much bigger (20 credits for the furthest net instead of 15). Choosing a level is done by selecting the wanted formation out of the three available. The default level is the easiest.

Trust us when we say the easy-to-learn/hard-to-master style of the game will have you hooked in no time. And when you hear the cheer of the crowd when your shot goes in... Pure excitement. You'll want to take off your shirt and throw it in the air whenever you score (hopefully you're wearing a sports bra).

The weather, or time doesn't always permit you to enjoy the summertime like you want to, Soccer Shot lets you win money while giving the feeling of playing football on a summer day. Play Soccer Shot when the summer blues have got you down.
