Bonus Rounds

There are 3 bonus games in X Factor: Steps to Stardom:

• The Boot Camp: This bonus is triggered when you land a minimum of 3 contestants' silhouette symbols on a staked line. You get between 5 and 15 free spins during this round; how many free spins you win depend on the number of symbols you land.
  • 3 symbols: 5 free spins
  • 4 symbols: 10 free spins
  • 5 symbols: 15 free spins
• During the Boot Camp bonus round, you also need to collect stars that appear on the screen. If you are able to collect 10 stars you advance to the live final.
• The Live Final bonus: This is a 3-level round that is triggered when you collect 10 stars during the Boot Camp bonus round. In this round, players get a chance to increase the amount they have won by using multipliers. How much you win depends on multiple factors, including the way the audience reacts to your performance and the feedback that the judges provide.
• Judges Bonus Scatter Award: This bonus is triggered when you land 3, 4, or 5 Judges Bonus symbols anywhere across the reels. You are placed face to face with the judges' panel, where the first judge decides whether it is a Yes or a No. If it is a yes you win and have a chance to either collect your win, in which case the round ends, or double it. If it is a no the bonus round ends and you go back to the auditions, i.e. the main game. Opting to double means you need to hear a yes or no from the second judge. If it is a yes, you go on as it happened the first time; if it is a no you lose whatever you earned and get back to the auditions. This happens until you reach the fourth judge, and if it is a yes there you collect all your winnings and the round ends. This is what you stand to win depending on how many symbols you land:
  • 3 Judges Bonus symbols: 20 x your total stake
  • 4 Judges Bonus symbols: 50 x your total stake
  • 5 Judges Bonus symbols: 200 x your total stake
