5-Reel 25-line Slots

X-MEN online slot machine is a 25 line five reel game. It is made by Playtech and can be found at casinos running their software.

To play the game:

• A wagering denomination (coin value) can be chosen by clicking the Click to Change denomination button in the lower left-hand corner of the screen.
• Line bets are chosen by clicking Bet per Line. Each click adds a coin to the line bet. When the maximum amount is reached (10 coins of the selected wagering denomination), clicking the button again resets the line bet to one coin.
• Paylines are chosen by clicking Lines. Each click activates a payline. When all paylines are activated, clicking the button again resets it to one active payline. Paylines can also be activated by using the numbered buttons on either side of the reels. Selecting a high payline includes all the lower ones too. For example, selecting payline 6 also activates paylines 1 through 5. Clicking Bet Max activates all paylines with the maximum bet per line and spins the reels.
• Total bet per game round = line bet X active paylines.
• Clicking Spin spins the reels with the current selection of lines and line bets. During the reel spins the Spin button changes into Stop. Clicking Stop ends the spin animation and immediately displays the spin result.
• Reels can also be spun using the Auto Start function. Clicking + or – above Auto Start selects the successive number of spins to be enabled. Clicking Auto Start spins the reels. The Auto Start button changes into Stop during the Auto Start mode of reelspin. The Auto Start mode ends when the reels have been spun the number of times determined by the player, or when the player clicks Stop.
• Wins are calculated according to the paytable. Line win = line bet X corresponding multiplier according to the paytable. Scatter win = total bet X corresponding multiplier according to the paytable. The paytable can be accessed via the Info page.
• On a given payline, only the highest payline winning combination pays while simultaneous winnings on different paylines are added up together.
• In case of a winning spin, the Win field displays the accumulating winnings. The win ticker can be stopped by clicking anywhere on the screen. Symbols that make up the winning combinations are also animated. The animations are just visual theme elements and do not change the actual symbol.
• Payline wins and the total win are also displayed on the strip located at the bottom of the reels or the game window.

Paylines:

• Active paylines are represented by lines that appear over the reels. Paylines can be activated and their shape displayed by progressively clicking Lines.

• There is a difference between the line bet and the total bet. The line bet shows how much is being bet on a single payline. The total bet shows how much is being bet in total on the game round. Payouts shown in the paytable are multiplied by the line bet.

The Scatter symbol is an exception to these rules. More information about the Scatter symbol can be found below.

About payouts:

• If a symbol has a winning combination on more than one reel, the winnings are added up.
• Winning combinations must start from the leftmost reel, and the symbols have to be on consecutive reels.
• If two payline winning combinations occur on the same line, the higher of them is paid out. If more than one active payline has a winning combination, the winnings are added up.
• Winning combinations must start from the left most reel, and the symbols have to be consecutive.

The Scatter symbol is an exception to these rules. More information about the Scatter symbol can be found below.

Theme Symbols

The theme symbols are separated into two groups, Heroes and Villains.

Heroes			Villains
	Professor X			Magneto
	Wolverine			Deathstrike
	Nightcrawler			Mystique
	Storm			Sabretooth
	Cyclops			Juggernaut

Wild symbol
The Wild symbol in the game is the symbol. It can stand for any other symbol, except Scatter, to make the best possible winning combination.

Please note: There is also a separate payout for 2 or more Wild symbols on an active payline, as seen in the paytable. This is paid out instead of the regular symbol win, if the win amount from Wild symbols is larger than the win from the regular symbol (by Wild standing in).

Scatter symbol
The Scatter symbol in the game is the symbol. Scatter symbols do not have to occur on a particular payline – if there are two or more Scatter symbols in the spin results, an additional win is earned and added to payline winnings. The payout for the Scatter symbols is multiplied by the total bet.

If three or more Scatters appear on the reels simultaneously, regardless of position, Free Games are initiated.

Free Games

Three or more Scatter symbols anywhere on the reels, trigger the Free Games.

If the Free Games are triggered, click on Click to Start to reveal the entrance screen to the Free Games. Click Continue to begin Free Games.

Free Games are played in two modes: Heroes Mode and Villains Mode. Free Games begin in Heroes Mode. Heroes Mode is played with an unlimited number of free spins. Villains Mode is played with 8 free spins. The 8 free spins in Villains Mode are cumulative, meaning that all together, only 8 free spins will be played in Villains Mode before the Free Games end and the main game resumes.

When a Magneto symbol appears anywhere on reel #3 during Heroes Mode, Heroes Mode stops and Villains Mode begins.
When a Professor X symbol appears anywhere on reel #3 during Villains Mode, Villains Mode stops and Heroes Mode begins. If a Professor X symbol appears anywhere on reel #3 during the last, 8th free spin in Villains mode, then Heroes mode is not triggered.

In Heroes Mode, the only symbols on the reels are the hero symbols, the Wild symbol, and the Magneto symbol. The Magneto symbol counts as an extra Wild symbol and can appear only on reel #3, substituting for all symbols except the Wild symbol. In theory it is possible to have an infinite number of free spins in the Heroes Mode if the Villains Mode is never triggered.

In Villains Mode, the only symbols on the reels are the villain symbols, the Wild symbol, and the Professor X symbol. The Professor X symbol counts as an extra Wild symbol and can appear only on reel #3, substituting for all symbols except the Wild symbol. After every spin, one free spin is subtracted from that count. When the number reaches zero, the Free Games ends.

Free Games cannot be retriggered during Free Games.

During the Free Games, the reels are spun automatically using the same number of lines and bets per line as on the spin that won the Free Games. After each spin, the win is displayed in the Win field. The Free Games Win field shows the accumulated winnings from the current Free Games.
After all Free Games have been completed, a result board summarizes the winnings. Game win shows the winnings that were received from the spin that won the free games. Feature win shows the winnings that were received from the free spins. Total win shows the aggregate winnings (Game Win and Feature Win added up).
Clicking Continuewill return you to the main game.

The X-Feature

The X-Feature is triggered when any of the hero symbols, in whatever combination, occupy the 5 symbol locations on the reels #2, #3 and #4 as specified in the Info page. When the X-Feature is triggered, it immediately adds 5X the total bet to the player’s winnings in addition to all other winnings.

The X-Feature cannot be triggered during Free Games.

Marvel Mystery Jackpot

Marvel Mystery Jackpot is a multi-level progressive jackpot game that is available in all Marvel slot games and is linked to all Marvel slot games. A small percentage of each bet in the Marvel slot games, by every person playing this game in each of many online casinos, is added to the progressive jackpot.

The trigger that starts the Jackpot game is random and can occur after any spin in any of the linked games. It is not caused by any symbol combination in the linked games and even a spin that does not win anything in the main game can trigger the Jackpot game. Likewise, any bet with any size in the linked games can trigger the Jackpot game. Nonetheless, the chances of triggering the Jackpot game increase or decrease proportionally to the bet size. Entering the Jackpot game guarantees a win of one of the four jackpots. Playing the Jackpot game reveals the jackpot that has been awarded to you, but does not determine it.

There are four different levels of jackpots that you can win: Power Jackpot, Extra Power Jackpot, Super Power Jackpot and Ultimate Power Jackpot. Different types of jackpots hold different prize amounts. The jackpot gamescreen contains 20 squares which in the beginning of the gameplay are turned upside down. Clicking on a square will turn it around and reveal one of four jackpot symbols on the other side. Once you have found three matching symbols, you win the jackpot that corresponds to these symbols. Jackpot winnings are added to the base game winnings (if any) and are displayed in the Win field together with any other winnings.

The Marvel Mystery Jackpot game has a timeout timer. This means that if you do not pick a square in a set amount of time, you will automatically receive your prize.

The Jackpot for this game works like this:

Seed (how much money the Jackpots start out with):	Power: €50 Extra Power: €500 Super Power: €5,000 Ultimate Power: €100,000
Contribution rate (what percentage of each bet goes into Jackpot):	0.99%
Win condition (the result you have to get to win the Jackpot):	Entering the jackpot game guarantees a win. Match 3 jackpot symbols of the corresponding Jackpot or wait for the timer to run out.
Win requirements (what you need to do to be eligible for the Jackpot):	Play a Marvel slot game.

Please note:

• The seed and Jackpot values are in Euros in the progressive network and their value in your local currency is dependent on the currency exchange rate.
• The mechanics of Marvel Mystery Jackpot prohibit simultaneous jackpot winnings.
• Imperfections in the Internet connectivity may cause you to experience delays in Jackpot messages or updates, but they do not affect actual Jackpot wins.
• If a Jackpot is being discontinued (a game is closed and removed from the casino client), you will be notified of it by the casino.
