Super X Slot Review
A gilded cabinet sits in a drift of loose gold coins, carved scrollwork curling round a red nameplate, a lever on its flank and a starburst glowing out of the blue behind it. Super X wears the costume of the last one-armed bandit in the casino, and the costume is the least interesting thing about it: the five payline reels in front are mostly a lobby for the digit-drawing game hidden behind them. Pull the lever and that’s what you’re actually playing for.
Pragmatic Play built it that way on purpose. The base game is a 5×3 grid across 20 paylines, running at 96.56% RTP and low volatility, with wins capped at 9,000x the bet. That ceiling sits well above stablemates like Big Bass Splash or Sweet Bonanza at their tamest settings. The gold coins pooling at the cabinet’s base are the giveaway: this is a game about stacking digits into payouts.
Base Game & Features
The base game pays left to right across the 20 selected paylines, starting from the leftmost reel. Only the highest win counts per line, and wins on multiple lines add together. It’s a familiar arrangement, and deliberately so.
All wins are multiplied by the bet per line, and the paytable is where the traditional front of the machine shows through, with prizes expressed as multiples of the total bet:
- Crown: 1.25x, 7.5x and 20x the total bet for three, four and five of a kind
- Diamond: 1x, 4x and 15x
- Gold Bars: 0.75x, 2.5x and 10x
- Cash: 0.5x, 1.5x and 5x
- Coins: 0.25x, 0.75x and 2.5x
- Suit chips (spade, diamond, club, heart): 0.1x, 0.25x and 1x
Those are modest numbers, and five Crowns at 20x the bet won’t move much. The wild appears on reels two, three and four, substituting for everything except the scatter, the X symbol and the digit symbols. That exclusion list tells you where the machine’s real business sits. The regular symbols are the day job; the X is where the paychecks come from.
The scatter has no paytable value of its own. It lands on reels one, three and five, and its only job is to bring three of itself together, which opens the free spins round. Bets run from 0.20 to 240.00 per spin, and the credit and bet displays can be toggled between coin and cash views.
Autoplay offers preset spin counts with a running counter, and a skip-screens setting moves past feature introductions and end screens automatically. There’s also a choice of three spin speeds, from normal through quick to turbo. Space and Enter on the keyboard start and stop the reels.
X Bet Respin
The X symbol appears only on reel one, and whenever one or more of them land, a respin triggers immediately. The Xs lock in place while every other symbol fades away, replaced by blanks. A fresh spin then deals digits from 0 to 9, or more blanks, across reels two through five. Special reels are in play for the respin, so the symbol pool differs from the base game’s.
Each row that contains an X reads its digits from left to right as a single number, and that number is paid out as a multiple of the total bet. Three rows can hit at once, and their awards stack. A row of blanks pays nothing, because blank symbols carry no value at all. One lucky respin can outearn hours of payline wins.
Super X Free Spins & Bonus Features
Two bonus systems run off the same digit mechanic, with different routes in:
- Free Spins: triggered by three scatter symbols on reels one, three and five
- Super Spin Ante Bet: an opt-in that plays every base spin like a respin
Free Spins
Three scatter symbols award the round, which starts with just five free spins. A smaller opening grant than most games dare, but the round plays by entirely different rules. All three positions on reel one carry locked X symbols for the whole feature, so every row is live on every spin.
Reels two through five begin as blanks, and after every respin they stop on fresh digits or blanks. Each row’s digits form a number left to right, translated into total bets awarded, exactly as in the respin. With three paying rows instead of one or two, the numbers stack quickly when the digits cooperate.
Retriggers work on an unusual condition: if any free spin delivers only blank symbols across reels two to five, three more free spins are added. Emptiness is rewarded. A spin that pays nothing buys three more chances to build a better number, and with the full three-X first reel locked in, those extra spins are never dead weight.
One other wrinkle in the accounting: the free spins win is added to the payline win, and the respin’s award is paid out once the round completes. The full cycle total is what lands in the history, rather than each individual spin’s contribution.
Super Spin Ante Bet
Players who’d rather skip the waiting can opt into the ante bet, which multiplies the cost of every spin by 10x the current total. With the ante on, each spin plays out like a respin, using only X, blank and digit symbols. The payline game is switched off entirely. The terms:
- Every spin costs 10x the current total bet
- Spins use only X, blank and digit symbols, like a respin
- Rows with an X pay amounts multiplied by the base bet, not the increased stake
- RTP with the ante active is 96.48%, a shade under the standard 96.56%
The 10x premium buys access rather than bigger awards, which is the honest shape of the offer.
Win Cap
The maximum win is limited to 9,000x the bet. Any respin or free spin whose total would exceed the cap is rounded down to it, and if a free spins round reaches that figure mid-feature, the round ends on the spot. The win is paid and all remaining free spins are forfeited. It’s a ceiling with teeth, but a generous one for a game this gentle.
Our Honest Verdict
Overall Rating: 7.3/10
Playing Super X is mostly waiting in a very pretty lobby. You spin the payline reels, small wins trickle in, and you’re really there for the moment the first reel delivers an X and the machine turns into a lottery draw. That’s the whole appeal, and with a gold lever on the cabinet, it doesn’t pretend the waiting is the point.
The free spins round is the best thing here, because three locked Xs mean every spin builds three numbers at once and a blank board still buys you three more goes. The weakness is the base game itself: the paytable tops out at 20x the bet, so everything between features is filler, and the ante bet charges ten times the stake without paying against it.
This is one for players who want frequent small action and a gentle ride, with a lottery ticket tucked in the cabinet rather than the bankroll-burning swings of a high-volatility chase. It isn’t for anyone who needs the regular reels to matter. As a bandit dressed in gold coins, though, it pays the digits with real conviction.
Super X FAQs
-
What is the RTP of Super X?
The RTP is 96.56%. With the Super Spin ante bet switched on, it is 96.48%. -
Is Super X high volatility?
No. Super X is a low volatility game, meaning it pays out more often in smaller amounts while still offering the chance of a larger win through the digit-based features. -
How does the X Bet Respin work in Super X?
Whenever one or more X symbols land on reel one, a respin triggers. The Xs lock in place, all other symbols turn to blanks, and digits from 0 to 9 or blanks stop on reels two to five. Each row containing an X reads its digits left to right as a number, paid as that many total bets. -
Can free spins retrigger in Super X?
Yes, but not through scatters. If a free spin produces only blank symbols on reels two to five, three additional free spins are awarded. -
What does the Super Spin ante bet cost?
The ante bet costs 10x your current total bet on every spin. While it is active, each spin plays like a respin using only X, blank and digit symbols, and rows with an X pay their amounts multiplied by the base bet rather than the increased stake. -
What is the maximum win on Super X?
Wins are capped at 9,000x the bet. Anything that would exceed the cap is rounded down to it, and a free spins round that reaches the figure ends immediately with remaining spins forfeited. -
What are the minimum and maximum bets on Super X?
Bets run from 0.20 up to 240.00 per spin, with the ante bet multiplying each spin cost by 10x when active. -
Where do scatter symbols land in Super X?
Scatters appear on reels one, three and five only. Landing three of them triggers the free spins round, which begins with five spins and three locked X symbols on reel one.
