Super X: Slot Overview

Pragmatic Play returns to the idea behind an earlier release, Super 7, with an upgraded take called Super X. The titles are connected and the presentation has a lively feel, but in practice the two slots deliver very different gambling experiences. Super X revolves around a distinctive bet-multiplier building mechanic that can be accessed through free spins or respins. It’s also another Pragmatic Play game to include the use-with-caution Super Spin Ante Bet feature. Turning it on drops players straight into the thick of things, making each spin feel like a bonus spin—just with a significant extra cost.

Super X leans into a somewhat broad theme centred on gold, cash, crowns, casino chips, and similar symbols of wealth. Pretty much everything points to riches and their (hopefully) collection. Pragmatic Play calls the visuals “punchy”, which fits the bright, coin-strewn display. It’s also harder to neatly categorise than the fruit-heavy Super 7, both in appearance and in how the features work.

Set on a 5-reel, 3-row layout, the base game gives players 20 fixed paylines for standard winning combinations. Volatility has been ramped up from the 3.5/5 rating of Super 7 to the 5 out of 5 rating of Super X. That’s a clear sign to expect a tougher ride with bigger potential outcomes. The RTP also shifts slightly, sitting at 96.51% in normal mode and dipping to 96.48% when the Ante Bet is enabled. Note, however, that RTP may be lower depending on the casino.

With stakes from 20 p/c to $/€100 per spin, Super X uses red, purple, green, and blue poker chips as the lower-paying symbols, followed by gold coins, dollar bills, gold bars, diamonds, and crowns for the higher pays. Landing five of a kind on premium symbols returns 2.5 to 20 times your stake. To round things off, crystal star wilds can appear on reels 2, 3, or 4 and substitute for all symbols except the scatter.

Super X: Slot Features

Super X offers a few different routes to potentially boost your returns. These come via the X Bet Respins feature, free spins, and the Super Spin Ante Bet.

X Bet Respin Feature

The ‘X’ symbol shows up exclusively on the first reel. Any time an X hits, a respin is triggered. The X symbols that activate the feature are held in place, while the remaining symbols disappear. During the respin, only blank symbols or digits 0-9 can land on reels 2, 3, 4, or 5. Once the spin resolves, each row containing an X creates a bet multiplier using the numbers that land. For instance, if an X lands on row 2 alongside the numbers 1 and 0 on that same row, it forms a 10x bet reward. Any multiplier rewards created across different rows are totalled at the end of the respin and then paid out.

Free Spins

Landing 3 golden dice scatter symbols starts the bonus and awards 5 free spins. Free spins play out using only X symbols, blanks, and digit symbols, in the same style as respins. Throughout the feature, all 3 positions on reel 1 have X symbols, while blanks or digits can land on the other reels to build bet multiplier amounts. If a spin lands where reels 2-5 show only blank symbols, then +3 additional free spins are granted.

Super Spin Ante Bet

In the base game, players may switch on the Super Spin Ante Bet, which increases the cost of every spin by 10x. With the ante bet active, each spin is played like a respin, meaning only X symbols, blanks, or digits can appear.

Super X: Slot Verdict

Although Super X is positioned as a follow-up to Super 7, the two titles diverge heavily in both gameplay and maths. Super 7 is clearly the more straightforward option: a classic fruit slot that peaks with instant scatter prizes or five ‘7’ symbols for the famous 1,000x win. Super X goes in a completely different direction and barely resembles it at all. There isn’t even any fruit here—not even a simple pair of cherries. Anyone who liked Super 7 should be ready for something entirely different if they load up Super X expecting a similar style of slot.

Super X is the more muscular release, featuring a higher-volatility model and a larger reward ceiling to go with it. It also delivers its action in a less conventional format, and some players will likely enjoy the rapid-fire multiplier building during free spins or respins. These features don’t waste time—players are thrown straight into accumulating multipliers (or missing out).

Things can move even faster for those willing to use the Ante Bet option. We recently saw the same approach in Book of Fallen, so the familiar advantages and drawbacks apply. Yes, the Ante Bet can get you to the most exciting moments quickly, but at 10x the stake it can burn through a bankroll just as fast, if not faster. Since Ante Bet is optional, anyone not interested can simply ignore it. As for max win, payouts are capped at 9,000x the bet—nine times Super 7—and with a tempting chance of landing, it’s worth noting.

If you’re looking for a punchy-looking slot with an even punchier feature set, Super X could fit the bill. This isn’t really a game for soaking up the atmosphere; it’s more for players who want to get straight to the point and test their luck.
