Having always been a fan of NetEnt slots, the news that they planned to celebrate their 20th anniversary with the release of not one, not two, but three games based on legends from the world of rock, got me more than a little excited! With the release of Guns N’ Roses, they clearly set the tone of the series, with a truly outstanding tribute to the iconic band. Hot on its heels was the release of Jimi Hendrix, bringing the guitar maestro to life on the reels. With the recent release of Motörhead, the NetEnt Rocks tour is complete. Whilst the branding of these slots is clearly a big appeal, they also boast plenty of innovative features and are hugely entertaining. Here is an overview of each of the slots in this epic rock series.

Guns N’Roses

The video intro to this 20 payline slot sets the scene perfectly, instantly immersing you in the rock band theme. The game boasts a set list of 5 of the most popular songs from the band, including classics such as Sweet Child O’Mine and Paradise City. The Guns N’ Roses logo is the wild symbol and expands to cover the entire reel. Also included is the Appetite for Destruction Wild, which randomly appears and overlays various symbols in the shape of a cross. Three bonus symbols randomly award one of three bonus features; a coin win, Encore Free Spins or the 3 level pick & click Crowd-Pleaser Bonus Game. Other innovative features include Legend Spins, which randomly adds stacked wilds onto the reels, and the solo multiplier, which awards a line win multiplier of between x4 – x10.

Jimi Hendrix

Packed full of flower power and psychedelic imagery, this slot evokes the whole era in which the influential musician rose to fame. Jimi’s most famous and popular songs provide the background track to this 20 payline slot. There are two key features in the game. One is the Purple Haze feature, which transforms the 10, J, Q, K and A symbols into wild symbols for a spin. The other is the Red Guitar Re-spin feature. Activated by four or more red guitar symbols on the reels, it causes the reels to re-spin, and continue to re-spin with each new occurrence of a red guitar symbol. The game also boasts an exciting pick & click feature, which rewards one of four possible prizes, including free spins with wild reels, overlaying or transforming wilds.

Motörhead

This unique and innovative slot features video footage from The World is Ours DVD and a variety of hits from the English rock band. The slot has an unconventional configuration, with 5 reels, and a varying number of rows across them, creating a big 76 paylines. The Ace of Spades is wild, substituting for all others. Line up three scatter symbols, and you are rewarded with 10 free spins. One of the highlights of the game is the Mystery Reel feature. After every spin, any reels containing a mystery symbol will transform entirely into a random, stacked symbol. The Bomber feature is another appeal of the game. Triggered randomly before a spin, each bomb contains a cluster of mystery symbols. If a number of bombs occur, then at least 10 overlay mystery symbols are added to the reels, helping to boost your chances of big payouts.
