The American Idol TV show has been a big hit in America and around the world. No you have a slot machine based on the show. American Icon is a 20 line video slot with a music theme and not one but two bonus features. It has a top jackpot of 20,000 coins on the reels and up to $100,000 on the bonus.
The game uses the popular 5 reel, 20 line format and has a max bet of 1 coin per line or 20 coins per spin. Coin sizes start at 1c so this is a game for all gambling budgets. If you are a high roller you can play up to $200 per spin.
All of the symbols on the reels have a musical theme. Symbols include gold records, ipods, recording contracts, microphones and judges to name a few. The gold record symbol is wild and substitutes for all other symbols except the scatters and the bonus symbols. Five wilds pay 10,000 coins.
In a bit of a change from the norm, the top jackpot is not for the five wilds. Instead it is the five scatters that award the top pay. Five scattered recording contract symbols pay 1000 times your bet or 20,000 coins at max bet. These scatters also activate the first bonus game - the free spins.
Three or more scatters award 15 free spins with all wins doubled. The free games and the bonus stage can be won on the free games. With all wins doubled you can win up to 40,000 coins a spin if you hit the five scatters while on the free spins. Second highest pay grows to 20,000 coins.
The second bonus stage is a bit more interesting than the free spins. Get three American Icon Bonus logos on any active pay line and you win a shot at the bonus stage. Here you get to see a whole group of performers. Pick one to select your singer. Once picked a series of prizes appear on the screen.
The bonus game is the same as Deal or No Deal (View Screenshot). You select contestants to reveal prizes which are removed from the board. After a set number of picks you are offered a prize based on the remaining prizes. You can choose to collect your prize or go for a bigger win.
The bonus is a great choice for a game based on American Idol as you have to eliminate singers to progress. The top possible award on the bonus is $100,000 but this is only available if you are playing the $10 coin size. If you are playing the 1c coin size the top pay on the bonus is $5,000.
American Icon is a great video slot with a bonus feature that really fits into the theme. The addition of a free spin feature and some big jackpots on the reels make it a winner.
