X Factor Steps to Stardom

It's your chance to perform on the big stage in front of Simon Cowell himself *and* maybe win up to £25000 at the same time!
This 5 reel, 20 winline slot is based on the popular TV show and whilst you won't get a chance to be John and Edward in this game (and that might not be a bad thing!), you will get the chance to get into Boot Camp should you trigger the Bonus Round.

As with other slots of this nature, you can choose how many lines you play and the stake that you can bet each line. The minimum stake per line on X Factor Steps to Stardom is just 10p and the maximum that you can stake is £1, meaning that you can play for anywhere between 10p and £20 per spin. You can play between 1 and 20 lines at a time, although you will win more if you play 20 lines.

There are 3 different bonus feature on X Factor Steps to Stardom – the Judges Bonus, Bootcamp Bonus and Live Final.

The Judges Bonus

Getting 3 or more Judges Bonus symbols anywhere on the reels starts the Judges Bonus. The more Judges Bonus symbols you have, the more money can be won in the feature.
Essentially the Judges Bonus is a game of double or quits. The first judge will say ‘Yes’ or ‘No’. If they say ‘No’ then the game is over. If they say ‘Yes’ then your prize is doubled. You can then opt to either collect the money go to the next judge, where the same thing happens. Again if you get a ‘Yes’ the prize is doubled and you get the chance to either collect or move to the next judge. A ‘No’ ends the bonus round and you win nothing – so don’t just click through on all the judges as you could win nothing at all!

The Bootcamp Bonus

The Bootcamp bonus is the Free Spins round and will be familiar to anyone who has played online (or offline slots in a casino) before. Getting 3, 4 or 5 ‘Bootcamp’ symbols on a staked line will trigger the free spins. The number of free spins that you get is dependant on the number of ‘Bootcamp’ symbols that you get. You can get up to 15 free spins for getting 5 ‘Bootcamp’ symbols, but only 5 or 10 free spins for 3 or 4 ‘Bootcamp’ symbols respectively. The free spins on X Factor Steps to Stardom are played at the same stake as you were playing when you won the Free Spins. Oddly for a 20 line slot these Free Spin wins are neither multiplied, nor can you retrigger the Free Spins from within the Bootcamp Bonus.

Live Final

The Live Final is actually part of the Bootcamp Bonus on X Factor Steps to Stardom. During each Free Spin there is a new ‘Star’ symbol that appears. If you get 10 stars during your Free Spins then you enter the Live Final – and this is where the serious casino money can be won!
You start the Live Final by picking from a number of catagories to construct your performance. You choose from ‘Performance’, ‘Audience Reaction’ and ‘Judges Verdict’. These three catagories will give you either a cash prize or a multiplier bonus. You can then decide to take the prize offered, or try again. You get three chances to play, and if you reject the first and second offer then you will automatically win the third offer.

If you managed to get 10 stars without using up all your Free Spins, then you will continue your Free Spins after the Live Final round, giving you a chance to top up your winnings.
