Description: This slot is based on the popular theme of the American Idol which is a televised singing competition with the ultimate aim to discover the greatest young singer in the country. The theme is such that it starts with a series of nationwide auditions after which we have 26 contestants on stage. These wanna be singers are then judged by three judges and then later through public voting by phone. The slot creators have done well to follow the format very closely.
The slot has 5 reels which can be used to form the winning combination. Once you put in a coin it enables one payline out of the 20 paylines.
The slot is both a penny slot machine as well as a high roller slot machine as you can bet as low as a cent and go right upto $200 as the maximum bet.
You really have huge money here what with 15 free spins a bonus round where you can win 10,000 times more your coin bet and then the gold star wild symbol which increases your chances of winning even more and hit the bonus round with a big bang.
Besides the money the game is entertaining and you have some good images all related to music. The prominent ones are the music chart, the crowd waving and the silhouette of a singer on the stage and the music meter. The music is lively particularly the techno style high octave tunes played in between spins.
