The mighty Xmen! So much awesome power in one place! The freaky Charles Xavier with his shiny dome of telepathic snoopiness. Wolverine with his shocking hairstyle and his built-in face shavers. Sabretooth, the lad in dire need of a dental plan. Rogue, the girl who just needs a hug, and who could have one if she'd just put some gloves on (why am I the only person who ever thinks of this?).

Seriously, though, Cryptologic's video slot game based on the Marvel Superhero title is nothing short of fantastic, and if you've ever read the comic books or seen the increasingly excellent films, you won't want to miss out on the chance to play this outstanding slot game.

First of all, let me disabuse you of a preconception you might be carrying into this experience: this isn't a movie tie-in game. This is original content based on the characters from the Marvel comic books.

Before we go on, let's get the technical stuff out of the way. The Xmen is a 5 reel video slot that pays out on just 9 pay lines. This makes a nice change from the hectic 25 lines you see on many of today's multi-line slots. How do you keep track of so many lines anyway?

On the reels you can expect to see the faces of most of the most popular Xmen, including Jean Grey, Cyclops, the naughty Magneto, the androgynous Mystique (it must be no end handy to have that power), Gambit, Night Crawler and many others.

Naturally, there's a Wild Symbol, and it's Charles Xavier himself, which is somehow apt. Charles uses his hairless chrome dome to complete any winning combination he happens to be a part of, which is handy.

Xmen is a game for both high rollers and the more modestly strapped, as it can take coins from 1c up to $5. The top payout is 7,500, which at maximum bet works out to a healthy $37,500.

But crazy generous as that sounds, it's not the major reason why people play this game. Nope, that would be the progressive jackpots. You see, Xmen has not one, not even two, but three progressive jackpots. They seed starting at $50, $500, and $5,000 respectively, and you can win them entirely randomly. You might trigger a progressive jackpot win even on a normally losing combination – how cool is that?
