The X Factor - Jackpot

For those of us who have always wanted to experience the spotlight, cameras, audience and the stage excitement, this game presents a virtual dream come true. Before we continue with our review, we would like to thank Ash Gaming (now ) for giving us music fanatics the opportunity to get our fifteen minutes of fame. Woohoo!

Slot Theme

Only people who live under a rock will probably be puzzled by this self-explanatory title. Anyhow, Playtech obviously wanted to pay homage to one of the most popular talent shows ever! The entire game looks like a stage and the icons that can be seen are in correlation with the theme (audience, the logo of this video slot, the gold disc, singers, the mic, speakers, etc.)

Everything about its appearance is so convincing that it made us feel like we are actually on the stage waiting for our turn to sing in front of the judges and audience. It’s a shame that’s not the case!

Betting Options and Other Functions

The X Factor Jackpot slot comes up with twenty paylines, five reels and three rows. In order to make it accessible to anyone, Playtech has determined a solid coin range where the minimum starts with $0.01 and ends up with a maximum of $10.00.

The jackpot is really impressive. If you land five X-Factor Wild symbols across the reels, you will earn 10,000x your stake. If we could describe the interface in one word, it would be – simplicity.

Luckily, it isn’t loaded with too many unnecessary things which instantly means that everything is more intelligible. All gaming options are put in the lower part of the control panel.

Slot Features

Underneath the yellow Paytable knob you will see the blue field where you can both increase and decrease the number of paylines. Furthermore, on the right side (next to the Total Win section) you will bump into plus and minus signs that allow you to raise or lower your stakes. You must always determine these things before proceeding with the game. All icons should fall on consecutive reels, starting from the leftmost position.

If you want to blast-off the Live Show Bonus round, you can do that by landing three Scatter symbols on the first, third and fifth reel. Once that happens, you will enter the game which is divided into ten weeks. Every week, a certain contestant will be chosen. Each YES from the judges means a cash prize. As time goes by, the cash prize will be multiplied.

The X Factor Jackpot has a lot more in its store. Besides this super-amusing bonus round, it also includes a Microphone that activates the Pick me feature (three or more signs must be landed across the reels and you will instantly become one of the famous X factor stars (choose one of them to reveal your prize) and a CD symbol that activates Free Spins.
