Motörhead Slot Review

Perhaps no band has had such an impact on the rock and metal scene like Motörhead. The English group, which came together in June of 1975, were always well-known for frontman, Lemmy Kilmister and his gruff singing voice. Lemmy would prove to be the sole constant member of the group, but the band originally came together with guitarist, Larry Wallis and drummer, Lucas Fox. In fact, Motörhead are often seen as one of the earliest members of the new wave of British heavy metal. This movement would go on to re-energise the heavy metal scene in the late 1970s and early 80s. Lemmy died at his home in Los Angeles in December of 2015. But the music of the band continues to be a mainstay on rock radios around the world. It can also be found in this slot machine offering from Netent, one of the developer’s latest launches.

Ace of Spades or King of Kings?

The layout of this game will take you right into the middle of a concert, with a bustling crowd being heard in the background. Everything takes place on a unique slot interface as well. While there are five rows available to you, you’ll also see that the rows are of different lengths. The first two columns have three rows, the second two have four and the last one has five. It is these reels that play host to the various icons of the game. They exist firstly in the form of a four leaf clover, a pair of cherries and a horseshoe. There’s also the addition of a red number 7, a silver bell, a gold star and a symbol of Lemmy himself.

Not only does it have great graphics and icons on display, but you’ll also find that there are 76 different bet lines alongside. These are set in place by Netent, but players can adjust the value of the wager that they place. This is done by first of all altering the coin value between its minimum of £0.01 and its maximum of £1. Then, you can change the bet level between one and 10. This allows you the possibility of placing a maximum overall wager of £200 per spin. You also have the option of using the game’s ‘Auto Play‘ button. This allows you to spin the reels up to 1,000 consecutive times at the same bet level.

Rock Out with the Band!

motorhead-slot-ace-of-spadesThe Netent group are quite supreme in their addition of special features to slot games. This Motörhead offering is no different in that respect. To begin with, you’ve got the Ace of Spades icon. This provides you with the game’s wild symbol. As such, it substitutes for all other symbols on the reels, with the exception of scatters.

And as far as scatter icons go, the image of the band’s logo is what provides this. These pay out wherever they show up on the reels. However, if you spin three in to view anywhere on reels three, four or five during the base game, you’ll receive 10 freespins.

Another great addition to this game is something known as the ‘Mystery Reel Feature‘. On every spin during the main game and in freespins, unless the ‘Bomber Feature‘ is active, one or more of the reels will be mystery reels. These are hidden by an alternate version of the band’s logo. After the reels stop spinning, these symbols all transfer into one and the same icon, except for scatters. And during the freespins round, you’re also able to find wilds underneath these!

Finally, the ‘Bomber Feature‘ of this game can come in to play at random before a spin in the main game. Each bomb that shows up contains a cluster of mystery symbols. A number of bombs occur on the reels and will then create at least 10 overlay mystery symbols! After each bomb has done this, the reels spin with a symbol being chosen in the same way as the ‘Mystery Reel Feature‘.
