X Factor Introduction
Have you ever fancied your chances on the world’s biggest musical talent show? If so, have a go at stretching your vocal cords with this X Factor game, which is just one of many free online pokies you can play here at Online Pokies 4U.
Made by Fremantle, an industry leader on account of their great graphics and reliable game delivery, X Factor Steps to Stardom takes the reality show format we all love and turns it into a fun and easy-to-play pokie that all types of players can enjoy.
Theme
This pokie brings its theme to life by using the iconic game show’s aesthetic as its backdrop: the red and black logo is ubiquitous, and the background to the reels has the trademark lighting rig, spotlights, and general glitz and glamour we expect from the X Factor. When you’re spinning the reels on this game, you really feel like you’re on the X Factor stage.
The design of this game gives you a maximum of 15 paylines across five different reels and three rows of symbols, meaning there are plenty of chances to win. You can set your coin size anywhere between $0.01 and $1.00 and play with anywhere from one to 15 paylines, so this game is very flexible when it comes to betting.
The maximum jackpot comes in if you can land five wild symbols on a payline, when you’ll be rewarded with an eye-watering 10,000x your total bet. There are six low-value symbols, which you’ll recognise from their blue background, showing an X Factor crowd, a male and female singer, and two different singers in silhouette.
There is also a scatter symbol in this range, which pays out if you can land two, three, four or five anywhere on the reels. The high-value symbols are characterised by their red and black theme and include an audition label, a CD, a microphone, a speaker, and the X Factor logo itself, which acts as a wild symbol and can stand in for any of the other symbols except for the scatter symbol or the bonus symbol.
Bonus features
If you get three or more of the bonus blue star symbols on a payline, you’ll trigger the Pick Bonus feature of this game. Just click on the stars in front of you to reveal the number of free spins you’ve won and what multiplier the free spins will be subject to.
With every free spin, you will also win a guaranteed free spin bonus that is calculated by tripling your free spins multiplier, multiplying by your coin size, and multiplying by the number of lines that triggered the bonus round. You can retrigger the bonus feature by simply landing another three or more of the bonus symbols within your free spins round.
The number of spins you win will be added to your current total of spins left, and you can keep letting those free spins rack up. Some of the symbol payouts change during the free spins bonus round, but don’t forget that these are still multiplied by the amount earned in the Pick Bonus feature.
