Available to play across all devices, Bally has packed in the features in Michael Jackson King of Pop. In the base game, look out for the Moonwalk Wilds feature – Moonwalk Wilds can hit at random on reels 2 through 5 and can turn up to 5 symbols wild. Any newly created winning combinations that include the moonwalk wild will see the payout doubled.
Also triggered at random is the Stacked Wilds feature - these can hit on any base game spin and can turn up to 2 reels completely wild.
Michael Jackson King of Pop also comes with a trio of more traditionally triggered features. Land the bonus symbol on reels 2, 3 and 4 and you'll activate the Wheel Bonus - you'll be granted a single spin of the 'Wheel of Fortune' style wheel and depending where the pointer lands you can look forward to a cash prize, a cash prize with an extra spin of a multiplier wheel or some free spins.
If the wheel lands on the Beat It Free Games feature, you'll be awarded 10 free spins on a new set of reels. Every time a wild symbol lands on reels 2, 3, 4 or 5 during the feature, it will stay frozen in place for the remainder of the free spins. Get a good combination here and the coins can quickly build.
The other bonus the wheel can offer is the Smooth Criminal Free Spins feature - here you'll be granted 5 free spins, once again on a new set of reels but this time with added wild extras. On your first spin reel 5 will be wild. On spin 2 it's reels 4 and 5. On spin 3 it's 3 and 4 and on spin 4 it's reels 2 and 3. On the fifth and final free spin, reels 1 and 2 are both wild.
In terms of visuals, Michael Jackson King of Pop is a pretty glossy affair. Joining the low value playing card symbols are a selection of shiny shoes, sunglasses, hat and white glove. There's also a standard wild. Jacko himself is, appropriately enough, the jackpot symbol - land 5 of these in a payline for a payout of 2,500 coins.
As you'd hope from a slot based on a music legend, the soundtrack really hits the spot. You can spin away with Beat It, Billie Jean, Dirty Diana, Bad and Smooth Criminal blasting away in the background.
Fans of Jackson's brand of dance pop will find much to enjoy in the slot that bears his name. There's plenty on offer for non-fans too courtesy of the raft of features. Get lucky with those free spins and Michael Jackson King of Pop can be a real Thriller. If you like slot games based on music icons, Net Entertainment’s Jimi Hendrix is worth taking a look at.
