Game Overview

What is it they say about scatter pays slots? You sit around waiting for one, and then two come along at once. Oh, that’s busses, actually, but in this instance, it does apply to the slots as we’ve only just closed the review lid on Pragmatic Play’s title, the Rujak Bonanza slot, when the studio has now thrust their new Mahjong X slot game upon us. Onto the stats, and we have a 6-reel game offering an RTP of 96.60% and a maximum win of 10,000x bet.

As with the many clones Pragmatic has developed before it, Mahjong X utilises the cascading reels engine to remove winning symbols from the reels before replacing them with new ones for additional chances to win. This in-game mechanic is particularly useful in the free spins feature, triggered by four or more scatters landing in view, as it allows you to create a bigger collection of wins along with special multiplier symbols that are applied to the sum of all winning combos at the end of each spin. Lastly, If you’re the kind of player who doesn’t like to wait around, you can take advantage of the bonus buy option, which is available at the price of 100x the current bet.

Whether you’ve come across the game of Mahjong in the past or not, what better way to get acquainted with it than by taking our free Mahjong X slot demo for a few trial spins? It’s ready to play below.

Mahjong X Slot Theme, Stakes, Pays & Symbols

Mahjong X paytable

Mahjong might not be the flavour of the day for an online slot theme in Europe, but in the Asian market, it’s one of the most popular niche of slot games you’ll come across. Pragmatic has dipped its toe into this genre previously with its Mahjong Wins slot, whilst other notable mentions are Playstar’s Mahjong Ways 3 slot and Mahjong Ways 3+. It’s already apparent from our intro what we can expect from Mahjong X, but as always, we’re ready for a full game review here at Demoslot, so let’s kick things off over at the pays section.

I’m not going to try and be clever regarding the symbols on the paytable, as they are all tiles specific to the game of Mahjong itself. In total, nine can appear, ranging in value from a minimum of 2x up to a maximum of 50x if 12 or more appear on the reels in a single spin or cascade.

Players have several options when choosing a stake size to play at, with the standard minimum bet starting at €0.20 and reaching a maximum of €100. An Ante bet option can be activated, doubling the chances of triggering the feature and coming at a cost of 25% on top of the original stake.

Mahjong X Slot Base Game

Mahjong X base game

Mahjong X follows in the long line of scatter pays slots from Pragmatic Play, with the gameplay taking place over a 6×5 reel matrix. Players will scoop themselves a win if at least 8 matching symbols appear anywhere within the playfield. All winning symbols are removed from the reels, activating the cascading reels mechanic, which drops new symbols into play for extra chances to win.

Mahjong X Slot Bonus Features

Mahjong X free spins feature

Pragmatic’s Mahjong X slot has one main bonus round triggered when four or more scatters appear in view, with 10 free spins awarded. More triggering scatters mean more cash, with 4, 5 and 6 paying 3x, 5x, and 100x, respectively.

Free Spins Feature

During the free spins, feature special multiplier symbols can land with values ranging from 2x to 100x. If these land simultaneously with a series of winning cascades, the overall sum of the multipliers in view will be applied to the sum of all winnings from that spin. Additional free spins can awarded with three or more scatters landing in view, topping up your spin count by an extra five.

Bonus Buy

Those of you who enjoy playing bonus buy slots will be pleased to hear the free spins round can be purchased instantly on Mahjong X at the cost of 100x bet.

Pros

It's a clone of previously popular slot games.
High RTP.

Cons

Nothing new to the game other than a different theme.
If you're not playing in the Asian market, this will likely be of little interest to you.

Mahjong X Slot Review Final Thoughts

So, there we have it. Yet another Sweet Bonanza slot clone hits the market from Pragmatic Play, but you can't blame the provider for milking every last ounce out of the format. It's incredibly popular, so why not make a version for every market they can?
