We’ve been playing that age-old game of goodies and baddies since the day dot, which is why we Marvel Comics fans love the conflict between the Heroes and Villains in the X-Men series. Drawing on the superheroes’ relationship with their archenemies is the online casino software providers, Playtech, who introduced the X-Men instant slots game.
X-Men instant game is a 5 reel slots machine with 25 paylines. The minimum line bet per game is only $0.01 so game play isn’t limited to just high rollers.
Unlike the superheroes present in the instant slots game, you can actually conserve your energy for celebrating a win by playing in Auto Start mode. Toggle the Auto Start settings for up to 99 auto play spins – every superhero needs their rest!
The graphics in X-Men instant slots game are pretty crisp and all your favourite heroes and villains appear in the reels including Wolverine, Magneto, Xavier and Professor X. If you’re having trouble differentiating between the two opposing sides; characters with a blue background are the Heroes and all the nemesis characters are depicted with red backgrounds.
X-Men instant slots game boasts some great features such as scatters, Wild symbols and bonus rounds – all in place to boost your winnings. The Wild symbol in this instant game is literally what it says on the label! WILD defines the symbol that acts as a substitute for all other symbols and as an aid to help you complete winning combinations. The only symbol it doesn’t stand-in for is the X-Men logo scatter symbol.
And speaking of scatters, the X-Men logo is the scatter symbol in this instant slots game. If you get 3 or more X-Men logo symbols on any of the reels in the slots machine, you’ll trigger the Heroes Vs Villains Free Games round. A new screen will launch and you will initially play in the Heroes Unlimited Free Games mode. You’ll have unlimited free spins until you hit the Magneto Extra Wild symbol in reel 3. Once this happens, you’ll morph into the Villains 8 Free Games mode.
In the Villains 8 Free Games mode, Xavier acts as the Extra Wild symbol and you’ll need to trigger him in reel 3 if you’re to switch back to the Heroes Unlimited Free Games mode before your 8 free spins are up!
X marks the spot in this online instant slots game as one unique element is the special X FEATURE bonus. This bonus is activated when you generate any combination of 5 of the superheroes in an X formation in the middle of the slots machine screen. The X formation will glow if you have a winning combination and not only will you get the value of your payline, your pay out will be topped up with 5x the amount of your total bet.
Instant games fans will love the fact that the X-Men slots game is linked to the Marvel Comics four mystery progressive jackpots. There are four jackpots; Power, Extra Power, Super Power and Ultimate Power that are waiting to be activated. Regardless of how much you bet per game, every time you spin the slots you have a chance of entering into the progressive jackpot round.
If you are lucky enough to generate the progressive jackpot round, a screen with a 4 x 5 grid of 20 squares will launch. Hidden behind each square is a jackpot symbol and all you have to do is match 3 identical symbols to win that jackpot. If you are fortunate enough to play the progressive jackpot round, you are guaranteed a win on one of the four mystery progressive jackpots.
