Michael Jackson King Of Pop Slots Review

Michael Jackson may have earned millions of dollars and a ranch full of platinum discs in his long and successful career but now it’s the ultimate accolade as the theme of an online slot machine! This game is developed by Bally Technologies, it’s called Michael Jackson King Of Pop and it includes a number of bonus features and several original songs.

Michael Jackson King Of Pop is a five reel slot with three rows and twenty five fixed paylines; the symbols spin on dark red reels which fizz faintly around the edges while rain falls down onto the stage in the background. One of Jackson’s songs will serenade you as you spin those reels.

There are four theme-relates symbols including Jackson’s single white glove, his hat, sunglasses and shoes; 9, 10, J, Q, K and A are the lower values.

The wild symbol is a big sparkly ‘Wild’ and it substitutes for all others except bonus and jackpot scatter symbols.

Bonus Features

Wheel Bonus

This is triggered when a bonus symbols lands on or within one position of the centre line on reels two, three and four; you now get to spin a Wheel Of Fortune and the prizes are free spins, cash prizes and/or a spin of a multiplier wheel. There are two free spins rounds available:

• Beat It Free Spins – 10 free spins with wilds frozen in place for the rest of the spins when they land.
• Smooth Criminal Free Spins – 5 free spins with either one or two reels completely wild on each spin.

Moonwalk Wilds

This occurs randomly in the base game and you will see Michael moonwalk across the screen, leaving between two and five wilds in his wake. These wilds will double the value of any wins which are formed – they won’t substitute for the jackpot or bonus symbols but that position will now contain both.

Stacked Wilds

This occurs randomly in the base game and will turn two reels completely wild. Again, any jackpot or bonus symbols will now become wild as well.

Verdict

The addition of some of the artist’s original music make Michael Jackson King Of Pop a real winner, especially of course if you were a fan. There are plenty of features to enjoy and an RTP of 96.01%.
