Africa X Up

Africa X Up Review

This game could very well be the ‘breakthrough game’. The audiovisual presentation is impressive. It’s all about climbing the Multiplier ladder, but you’ll only benefit from the achieved multiplier tier during the bonus round.

You have expanding wilds to help you out at all stages of the game though, and you can expect a long journey before getting even close to top-tier 25x multiplier. The paradox of not wanting to trigger the bonus round until you’ve reached a solid multiplier creates an interesting tension.

Africa X Up Slot Features

The wild symbol can land on all 5 reels, and it expands to cover the full reel whenever it appears. As usual, the wild steps in for all regular pay symbols to help you form winning combos, and it’s also the highest paying symbol in the game. A screen full of wilds is worth 1,245x your stake.

Whenever you land two X Up scatters anywhere in sight, you trigger the X Up feature. This awards an X Up token that’s crossed off in the Multiplier meter. The more tokens you collect, the higher you climb in the Multiplier meter. It works as follows:

• 1 X Up token equals a 2x multiplier.
• 2 X Up tokens equals a 3x multiplier.
• 2 X Up tokens equals a 4x multiplier.
• 2 X Up tokens equals a 5x multiplier.
• 3 X Up tokens equals a 7x multiplier.
• 3 X Up tokens equals a 10x multiplier.
• 5 X Up tokens equals a 15x multiplier.
• 5 X Up tokens equals a 25x multiplier.

The multiplier level keeps increasing during base game play, but the actual multiplier will not become active until you trigger the bonus round. The achieved multiplier tier is stored per bet level, so you need to start over again if you change your bet size before you’ve hit the bonus round.

You need three X Up scatters anywhere on the same spin to trigger the Bonus Round, and this awards 8 free spins. Whatever multiplier tier you have achieved will now be active, and boost all winning combos. Landing two X Up scatters during the feature awards +2 extra spins, and it also helps increase the multiplier (if you’ve not already reached the highest level of 25x).

The 200 Spins Africa X Up Slot Experience

We grinded along in the base game for a while, and then we decided to simply purchase the bonus round. Of course, we went for the top tier 25x multiplier option.

Review Summary

The game has a silky smooth and pleasant pace, bordering on “oddly satisfying” with the turbo/autospin switched on, and there are no annoying “hiccups” along the way. The audiovisual presentation is excellent. As for the game itself, an option to exchange a triggered bonus round for a certain amount of X Up tokens would probably have been a good idea.

It can take a very long time until you manage to get to the top tier multiplier, without “ruining it” with a bonus round trigger before that. Of course, you can increase the multiplier also within the feature, and big wins can certainly come from lower-tier multipliers also. You need the 25x multiplier to crack the 30,000x potential on a single spin though.
