The X Factor slots game, which is also commonly known as ‘X Factor Steps To Stardom’, is a 5-reel 20-line online slots game that can be found at many of the internet’s top online bingo sites and online casinos. This sophisticated and glamorous feeling online slots game has all the thrill and excitement of the X Factor TV show plus huge big cash prizes and nerve-wracking bonus rounds that make you feel like you’re actually one of the singing hopefuls trying to make a break in the music world.

Once you start spinning the reels you will see a range of symbols including microphones, singers, CD’s, speakers and tickets along with bonus symbols . These include images of the judges and the iconic ‘X’ symbol that’s now synonymous with the popular talent TV show.

If you spin three or more ‘Judges Bonus’ symbols then you will be whisked away to stand before the judges. The first judge gives their verdict, if it’s a yes you’re offered a cash prize but if it’s a no your bonus round is over and you win nothing. If you receive a yes from the first judge you are offered the chance to play double-or-quits with the next three judges in succession.

If you match three or more ‘X’ symbols in a row you will activate the Boot Camp round. You will receive five free spins for matching three symbols, ten free spins for matching four symbols and fifteen free spins for matching five symbols in a row. The game automatically spins your bonus spins for you, adding up your prizes as you go. If you manage to collect ten ‘Star’ symbols you will enter the Live Final round for even more cash prizes.

The Live Final round offers you three chances to give your best performance. You must choose your look, personality, voice, motivation and song to impress the judges, with your final prize amount being chosen by the judges. During the live final you will be judged on your total performance bonus, audience reaction and judge’s verdict, which will be used to establish your prize. Once you have been given your first verdict and prize amount you have the option to see if you can do any better. In total you have three attempts to win the biggest prize.

As far as fun and exciting online slots games go the X Factor slots game ticks the largest majority of the boxes, and it had us playing for hours. The one minor drawback we found while playing the X Factor slot game is an annoying voice over saying “ok people, that’s a wrap” that kicks in when you finish any bonus round but besides this little irritation, that can be remedied by muting the sound, the X Factor slots game is an all-round winner.
