PlayTech has released a new online pokie based on Marvel Comics’ X-Men. The title is a re-release of PlayTech’s original X-Men pokie, but this game comes equipped with more paylines and special features. The original X-Men online pokie had just 25-paylines, so players had fewer chances to win big while they wagered on the game.
This time, PlayTech has equipped X-Men with 50 paylines, providing players with many more potential winning opportunities. There are also plenty of winning combinations available. For each prize amount, there are two different ways to trigger a win. For example, five Mystique or five Toad symbols will trigger a win worth 250 coins and five Cyclops or five Juggernaut symbols will trigger a win worth 100 coins.
The scatter symbol awards a prize of 500 coins whenever it appears on the reels five times, regardless of whether the symbols are on the same payline or not. To trigger the X-Feature, five hero symbols must appear on the middle three reels in the shape of an X. When this feature is triggered, the player automatically wins a prize worth 5x their total bet. There is also a Free Spins round that is triggered by the X-Men logo.
The round begins in Hero Mode, where only symbols of X-men heroes are displayed. Hero Mode offers unlimited spins until Magneto appears on the third reel. Then, the player is taken to Villains Move, where they have just 8 free spins. Players can be taken back to Heroes Mode if Professor X appears on the third reel. It is possible for the player to win infinite free spins in this round.
As is the case with all Marvel Slots from PlayTech, X-Men is linked to a multi-level progressive jackpot network. There are four mystery jackpots available, which are triggered randomly. The biggest jackpot, Ultimate Power, regularly pays out jackpots worth tens of thousands of dollars.
