When you consider the immense popularity of the X-Files television series ever since its launch some 20 plus years ago, it’s somewhat surprising that the online casino market has not taken full advantage of the opportunities the much-loved concept provides.That’s all about the change though as Playtech have launched an X-Files slot, and based on the software developer’s history of creating slots out of televisions shows and movies, it’s likely to be excellent.
About the slot
A five reel, 20 payline slot playable from 20p a spin on all compatible desktop mobile, and tablet devices, the silhouettes of FBI special agents Mulder and Scully (portrayed by David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson) appear on the reels of this slot, alongside alien hands and other themed symbols.A good-looking slot that definitely does justice to its source material, but it’s the features that make this slot truly exciting.
Gameplay
Multiplier wilds in the base game make sure that there’s big wins to be picked up if you’re lucky. Known as Rifts, a winning combination that includes a wild can see a multiplier of up to 5x, land five wilds on a payline and the multiplier goes up to a plausible 25x your win!There’s also a Locking Rift Free Games feature here, which rewards you 20 free spins. The multiplier wilds are in play here, but they lock to the screen, which means that there are some huge wins to be picked up if the reels land in your favour during this free spins feature, and the mythical 25x multiplier is easier to get than it is in the base game, although still not guaranteed, of course.When it comes to bringing a TV or movie concept to life as a slot game, none are better than Playtech, and X-Files proves it all over again.
