Bar-X Triple Play Megaways slot summary
Bar-X Triple Play Megaways slot by Storm Gaming is in my view the best version of any online Bar-X slot around, of the several that use this old UK arcade Electrocoin theme. We have Blueprint's Bar X Safecracker Megaways slot to compare this favourably to with the others being old fixed-line slots we don't see much any more. Here we have a retro look and symbols, basic synth music to play to and a plain appearance. The basis game is like Bonanza slot in format although like Diamond Mine slot and a many others it adds something to that mechanic, in fact much more. So can it be 'X' marks the spot for our bankroll or will it provide a big bar to us winning?
On the reels...
There are 6 reels of 2-7 rows each including the top scroll of 4 single symbols, therefore Bar-X Triple Play Megaways slot has 324-117649 ways to win. It costs 20-coins to play, symbols are single and stacked with Wilds only appearing on the top scroll in both base game and feature. The 6-of-a-kind pays are 40x Bar, 7.5x X's, 2x Blue, Silver or Red 7's with six card values of 1.75 down to 0.8x with winning symbols replaced from above. Scatters appear on all reels but before we get to the free spins, there are few other features to unravel.
Features
These can occur in both the base game and free spins.
Gold Bars - mystery symbols which can appear on any spin, transforming into the same paying symbol which may or may not give a win.
Mini Slots - land 3 of these to trigger a pick-me. You will get one 3-reel Bar-X slot which will spin at least twice, with 5x for X's and 10x for Bars on the single win line. You can win nothing by the way!
Super Pay - this is the most interesting one and potentially lucrative too. The blue Super Pays logo may activate on any spin and then removes all card values from the screen with the remaining Bars' X's and 7's dropping to the bottom, so it's best to have as many ways in play as possible when it triggers! It then replaces these with only Bars, X's or 7's for hopefully a substantial win. It's a rare feature and if occurring in the free games with a multiplier especially so. We are told on the game surround this can pay up to 76,000x bet.
Free Games
You need 4 or more scatters for 10 free games and +5 for any scatter exceeding 4. You can get 5 or 10 extra spins during the free games for 3 or 4 scatters on the top scroll. There is an increasing multiplier in play for each winning tumble, starting at 1x. You may also trigger any of the above features too.
Our View...
Bar-X Triple Play Megaways slot has a 96.03% RTP and being packed with features you soon get over the retro feel this game has. Base game performance is nothing out of the ordinary for this particular Megaways mechanic and the pick-me Mini Slot feature is pretty low-paying too. The free games are highly volatile and it's when you trigger the Super Pays that things can get really interesting here and offer up a chance of a multi-thousand times bet hit. I suppose it's fair to say Storm Gaming have provided triple the reasons to play this weird and wonderful game...
