Top Spot Slot

Top Spot Slot

Barcrest offers a variety of noughts and crosses or XOX games in their collection, each with unique themes and features. Despite not being the newest or most original choice, Top Spot has enjoyed significant popularity on land-based casino floors for years. It is now set to launch as both a desktop compatible option and a mobile online slot.

As readers may recall, I recently reviewed Wild Knights Kings Ransom, which includes a staggered RTP betting system. This game also offers a similar feature, although the specific bet values have yet to be confirmed. Like other games in the series, the bets are expected to range from 0.10 credits to “big bets” of 10 credits and “super big bets” of 20 credits. Higher bets increase the game’s RTP, so your strategy may be crucial if you plan to play for extended periods – you can learn more about this on our strategy page!

Differing slightly from other XOX titles, this game provides a selection of up to 10 active paylines, along with a gamble feature and the iconic Top Slot symbol. This symbol, from which the game derives its name, is crucial for earning significant wins on this classic-style casino slot.

Theme & Gameplay

While the 5×3 reel layout may not be visually striking like modern animated 3D video slots, its simplicity offers a clear and straightforward playing experience without the need to constantly refer to a paytable.

The reel icons feature familiar symbols such as noughts, crosses, bars, sevens, and a Wild Seven. Notably, the Wild Seven is only available in “big bet” or “super big bet” modes, where you play five consecutive spins at a higher fixed value.

Distinct from its counterparts, Top Slot replaces the multiplier and scatter features with a unique bonus feature. Each win activates a spinning horizontal reel above the game, matching the symbol that triggered the win to convert all other symbols on the winning reels. This transformation leads to increased wins by aligning all paylines with the same winning combination.

Lastly, the game includes a traditional playing card gamble, allowing you to double your wins by selecting black/red or higher/lower. However, guessing incorrectly results in losing all accumulated winnings up to that point. An interesting feature is the ability to disable the gamble feature in advance to prevent it from automatically appearing after each win.

Summary

Barcrest now offers over five XOX games, each with varying bet lines and features. With this selection, players interested in pub-style slot gaming are likely to find a suitable option. Due to the popularity of these slots in the UK, it is anticipated that Top Spot Slot will be well-received by online players in the UK upon its release.
