Slots Type: 5 reels, 20 paylines video slot with a guaranteed win Bonus Round!

Software: WGS Technology

Description: This slot is based on the popular reality show American Idol which is a spin-off from the British reality show Pop Idol. The show starts with a series of nationwide auditions in order to find the best 26 contestants in the Country. These wannabe singers then have to battle it out to see who will be the American Idol. The slot's creators have successfully followed the format of this hit TV series.

The symbols are all pop related as you would expect, there are singers, recording contracts, PA speakers, CD's, a gold star and the American Idol symbol. When you get a winning combination the symbols pulse in time to the beat of some pop music, which is different depending upon the combination.

Besides the potentially high winnings the game is entertaining and you have some good images. The best ones are the music chart, the crowd waving, the silhouette of a singer on the stage.

The slot is both a penny slot machine and a high roller slot machine, as you can bet from 1.c to $200 as the maximum bet.

What sets this video slot apart from many others is the huge amount you can potentially win. An example of this is during the free spins bonus round where you can win X10,000 your coin bet.

This slot was released in late March 2008.

Wild Symbol: The Gold Star is the wild symbol. It substitutes for all other symbols except the Recording Contract and the American Icon symbol.

Scatter Symbol: The Recording Contract symbol is the scatter and when 3 or more of these appear on any enabled payline it triggers 15 Free Spins.

Bonus Symbols: The American icon Logo is the bonus symbol. When 3 or more of these symbols appear on an active payline the bonus round is triggered. You don't need to bet on all paylines i.e. bet max to launch the bonus game.

American Icon Free Spins: This is triggered by the scatter symbol and you can win even more free spins during this free spins feature. All payouts during free Spins are doubled except the actual free spins and bonus winnings.

In subsequent rounds, the player will be asked to eliminate a number of contestants. After each round a contract will be offered to the player's contestant. The amount of the contract offered will depend on remaining contracts and contestants.

If the player accepts the contract at the end of any round, the game will end and the contract offer will be the players prize. At this point, the bonus game is finished and the prize amount is final and the amount will be added to the players balance.

There are a total of 10 phases to be played within the bonus game. In phase 1 you are asked to eliminate 6 contestants and in the next phase 5 contestants and so on. Then from phase 5 onwards you are asked to eliminate 1 contestant in each successive phase till phase 9. In phase 10 you win your contestant's prize.

If the bonus game progresses to phase 10 then you have 2 contestants at this stage. One of them is your chosen contestant. The player will then click on either contestant to reveal their contestant's prize. The winning prize amount will be highlighted in yellow and shown in front of the player's contestant. The player will then return to the reels and the prize amount will be added to their balance.
