This new entry in one of Aristocrat’s most successful themed game groups presents musical icon Madonna and her music via the manufacturer’s new EdgeX cabinet, which features two 43-inch LCD monitors stacked in a landscape configuration that the company calls “personalized space” to create a “mini-jumbo feel” within a standard slot footprint. (The cabinet was launched earlier this year with the FarmVille game.)
The new Madonna game is a five-reel, three-row video slot in the Reel Power ways-to-win format, with no paylines and wins for adjacent symbols totaling 243 possible ways to win on every spin. The base game showcases the “Mighty Cash” hold-and-respin feature. When a star symbol appears on the reels, a multiplier above that reel increments by one. That multiplier is applied to all credits and jackpots on that reel during the feature.
Six or more Mighty Cash symbols trigger a hold-and-respin feature in which the reels re-spin to reveal credit awards or one of five static or progressive jackpots. Filling all positions with Mighty Cash symbols on one spin triggers the “Vogue Wheel,” which spins to land either on a jackpot or on 2X or 3X, multiplying all wins.
Three or more special bonus symbols trigger the “Like a Virgin Wheel,” which spins to award credits, a jackpot or free games. The Mighty Cash and wheel bonus features are available on free spins as well as base-game spins.
The top Grand Jackpot is a wide-area progressive resetting at $250,000, or a single-site progressive resetting at $5,000.
All the bonus screens are centered on video of Madonna performing one of her classic hit songs.
