Reels of Rock Online Slot Machine Review
The Reels of Rock slot features many icons of rock music over the years, the symbols representing Jimi Hendrix, Jim Morrison, Janis Joplin, Sid Vicious and John Bonham. You’ll also find many other relevant images, such as an electric guitar, a microphone, drums, concert tickets, backstage passes and a tour pass.
The slot has a fun feel to it, all of the symbols being caricatures of the artists as opposed to photos or drawings. You’ll certainly find a lot of colour when playing, the title of the slot framed in a psychedelic rainbow swirl, with the characters all framed against a coloured background. This can make the slot look a little too ‘busy’ at times, although it’s certainly not boring. You’ll find some animation, especially when the Jimi Hendrix wild symbol leads to a win, him launching into a guitar solo. As you might expect, a fitting rock track accompanies the slot, which is much better than the somewhat generic sounds you’ll find at many other slots.
This slot has two feature rounds which are both activated by their respective scatter symbols. These are a free spins round and a bonus round.
Set up and Play for Reels of Rock Slot
This slot by Saucify has five reels and nine win lines, which makes for a slot where you’ll gain more spins for your cash. You’ll actually be able to play fewer by simply clicking on the ‘lines’ button – one line for example giving you just the centre row of the reels as a win line. You’ll choose both the coin amount and coin value which will give you your total stake for each spin. To gain a win you’ll need to land consecutive symbols from left to right on a win line – the majority of symbols actually paying out when landing just two in a row, which makes for a slot where you’ll pick up lots of small wins on a regular basis (there are only four symbols where you’ll need to land a minimum of three in a row to win).
The Jim Morrison symbol is the most profitable, giving you a win of 2,500x your coin size if landing 5 in a row. Janis Joplin comes next at 1,000x. The rest of the symbols pay out between 750x and 100x for the full set.
The Jimi Hendrix symbol (called Jimmy Plectrum) is the wild one and will replace any other symbols to give you extra wins.
The other two symbols in the game are the scatter symbols. The Sid Vicious symbol (called Vicious Tim) activates the free spins feature when appearing on the slot three or more times. The tour bus is the final game symbol and landing this on reels 1, 3 and 5 will activate the ‘Reel Rockin Tour’ bonus round.
Reels of Rock Slot Features
The free spins round can be a hugely profitable one. You’ll start with the minimum ten spins if the feature was activated with three scatter symbols, although these quickly increase to 20 or 40 free spins if landing the feature with 4 or 5 of the scatter symbols. During this round you’ll actually be able to re-activate the round should you, making it potentially endless. Even better is the fact that every win you achieve will be trebled – this due to the 3x multiplier in place during this round.
The ‘Reel Rockin Tour’ bonus round
During the feature you enter ‘Joe’s Bar’ where you’re presented with all of the characters forming a Super Group. Above their heads are a number of musical notes and each note will carry a cash prize – pick one at a time and the prize is revealed. Having picked 3 the bonus round is over.
Reels of Rock Slot - Conclusion
Saucify slots are all designed with moblie play in mind, and this is another that looks great on iPads, Windows phones, and Android devices. This is certainly a slot that will appeal to fans of classic rock music, but whether the appeal extends to everyone is open to question. The slot certainly has good aspects, especially in the features – the free spins round being the best of these, with potentially very sizable wins. However, the lack of a ‘mute’ button might be a problem for some. This isn’t a slot that I would personally rush back to, but for a fun fifteen minutes it might fit the bill.
