Bonus Rounds
The Michael Jackson King of Pop slot machine has five unique bonus features, each of which increase your chance of winning and/or your winnings in their own way. The game has free game bonuses, a multiplier and also a free wheel spin bonus that offers a variety of incentives.
The U-Spin Platinum Bonus employs Bally's U-spin technology with the touch screen feature, allowing the player to get a realistic experience. Players get to spin a wheel on the screen as they would a real wheel in this bonus feature, which is triggered when three bonus symbols appear on the second, third and fourth reels. The virtual wheel bonus offers the player free credits or triggers one of the two game bonuses, which are named after Jackson's two biggest hits.
The first free game bonus is the Smooth Criminal bonus, which is triggered when the wheel pointer stops at the Smooth Criminal symbol. During this round, the player is awarded five free games with a special WILD feature where the entire reel becomes one. In the end, players are treated to a clip from the Smooth Criminal music video and the number of free credits won is displayed.
The Beat It free games bonus is much better than the Smooth Criminal bonus and offers 10 free games and has a locking wilds feature. During the bonus, Michael Jackson, as seen in the Beat It video, appears on the screen and triggers the locking wild feature. This increases your chances of winning even more.
The U-Spin round also triggers the Pile Up bonus feature during which the multiplier track is activated. This brings up a second wheel, inside the original wheel. The wheel spins itself to award the players a multiplier between 2 and 10, which is used for increasing the amount you won on the first wheel.
Added to the above mentioned U-Spin bonuses, the game also has two extra mystery wild features that are triggered at random to improve your chances of winning. These wilds are called the King of Pop random Moon walking wilds, and are triggered when the King of Pop moonwalks across the screen to the tune of Billie Jean and activates the WILD symbols. The other mystery wilds bonus is a stacked wild feature which is awarded at random, and the hit song Bad is played in the background.
