Slot Review: X Marks the Spot

One of our favorite games to play with large groups of acquaintances is “Pirates vs. Ninjas.” Basically, each person in the group gives their personal reasons for choosing whether pirates or ninjas would win in a battle royale between the two. It’s a simple diversion, but one that quickly turns hilarious and sparks plenty of discussion and debate. Pirates and ninjas alike are popular themes for online slot developers, and we have played plenty of titles depicting characters from both camps. A sassy girl pirate is the heroine of X Marks The Spot, a fun and lively online slot machine game by Vegas Technology. We don’t know about her ability to take down ninjas, but this pretty swashbuckler can certainly help you win plenty of booty!

X Marks The Spot is a five-reel, twenty-payline online slot. Coin values range from one cent to ten dollars, with max coins of twenty – one per payline. It will take plenty of nerve to stake two hundred dollars per spin on this pokey, but you have to spend money to make money – forty thousand dollars, in this case. (The four thousand coin jackpot times the highest coin value equals this amount.)

The reels are filled with colorful symbols depicting a pirate’s life – a stand of palm trees overlooking a crystal lagoon, a box of booze, a schooner in full sail, and even a parrot on a perch. (We bet her name is Polly!) There are wilds, scatters, and a free spins feature during which all winnings are tripled! In the very appropriate bonus game, you must direct your pirate lass to one of several “X” symbols marking where a treasure could potentially be buried.
