X Marks The Spot Slot Review 2024

X Marks the Spot

X Marks the Spot is a 5 reel slot from Vegas Technology, which offers a total of 50 paylines. The game also offers the player a jackpot of up to $800,000. The game has features like the wild symbol, scatters and free spins.

The name of the game gives the player an idea of what he can expect once it loads up. It's a slot which focuses on pirates and on their search for a treasure whose location is marked on a map with an X. The design of the game is quite well done, and even though there isn't much of a background image to enjoy, the reels are filled with well made symbols which are all designed according to the theme used here. The reels are built with wooden sticks which are bound with rope, an interesting design which fits with the theme of this game. The area at the top gives us the usual mix of pirate flags, ships and the tropical island where the treasure is buried. Symbols in the game include the pirate, cannons, the treasure map, treasure chest, pirate flag, pirate ship, the lady pirate, parrots, the hook hand, a monkey, a palm tree and a case of rum bottles.

One of the things that set apart the slots from this developer from all others is the size of the wager that is allowed here. The coins start at the $0.01 mark but can go as high as $200 for a single one. With 50 lines in the game, the wager could in theory go as high as $10,000 for a single spin of the reels. Payout go up to 4000 coins, with a potential value of up to $800,000.

That impressive prize is won with a huge bet but also with the right combination of five wild symbols (the pirate). A wild also helps the player to form more combinations in the long run by substituting for other symbols, so it's a useful feature even if it doesn't give you the top jackpot.

The cannon which serves as a scatter awards a payout of 2x to 250x the bet and it gives the player 15 spins for free. The prizes are offered for 2+ scatters while the spins require 3+ scatters. The free spins also come with a 3x multiplier.

The final feature would be the search for the treasure, part of the bonus round triggered with the treasure map bonus symbol when it's present at the same time on the reels 1, 3 and 5.

The pirate theme is one that makes this a solid choice. The other is the huge jackpot (a real treasure).
