Guns N' Roses Slot
This branded slot title by Net Entertainment pays homage to one of the most influential rock bands of the 1990’s - Guns N’ Roses. The slot game, like the band, provides a one-of-a-kind rock experience that is lived out in High Definition on the reels. Not only can you enjoy your favourite music, but you can make money while doing it. Enjoy multiple special features, including pick me bonuses, free spins, and expanding Wilds.
Theme, Soundtrack and Symbols
Set at a Guns N’ Roses concert, the crowd is going wild in the background as they are captivated by the reels on stage, where the action takes place. From the intro already, this NetEnt slot game will have you ready to sing along to old favourites, but it doesn’t stop there. The bottom left of the reels holds a set list, where you can enjoy 5 of the band’s hit favourites while you rack up wins. These include songs like Welcome to the Jungle, Sweet Child of Mine, Paradise City, November Rain, and Chinese Democracy.
Every time you land a win on the reels, the crowd goes wild, making your hair stand on end. We recommend playing this game with earphones on and the volume way up.
Game symbols include some thematic band member icons, including Axel Rose, Slash, and Duff McKagan. There are also two guitar picks to round off the higher-value symbols. Lower-valued symbols include common card deck symbols, but each one is suitably adorned in roses.
There is a Wild symbol represented by the Guns N’ Roses logo. This expands to fill the reel when it lands and substitutes for all symbols except the bonus icon. The bonus icon lands on reels 1, 3, and 5 and is pivotal in triggering the main feature.
Game Mechanics
The slot title is played over five reels and includes 20 pay lines. Spin the reels for between 0.20 and 100 coins to get the rollers moving and stand a chance of hitting up to 750x per pay line for landing 5 Axel Rose icons. The RTP of 96.98% is quite high, and together with a medium game variance could be poised to pay out some decent wins here and there. Big and Mega wins will see video clips of live appearances of the band adorn the screen in celebration of the haul.
If manual spins of the reels become tedious, make use of the Autoplay function, where you can program the machine to auto-spin between 10 and 1,000 spins for you.
Special Features
This is the department where Guns N’ Roses slot surely does not fall short. It boasts three random game features that trigger in the base game, as well as the main feature that offers three different game varieties.
Random Features
Appetite for Destruction Wild: A big Wild symbol in the shape of a cross appears in one of three positions on the centre reel to boost win opportunities.
Legend Spins: The game may randomly activate 3 free spins. Each spin will hold a stacked Wild symbol on one or two reels to help boost wins.
Solo Multiplier: After any random win, you will see one of those symbols highlighted, and a random multiplier of 4x to 10x will be applied to that win.
Main Feature: Bonus Wheel
Should you land three bonus symbols on reels 1, 3, and 5, you will be able to spin a bonus wheel to select the type of bonus feature you will play for extra wins. The selection of features up for grabs include:
Encore Free Spins: You will be awarded ten free spins. On each spin a band member will appear expanded over reel 2, 3, or 4 for extra winning potential.
Coins Win: Here, you are merely awarded an instant cash prize.
Crowd Pleaser: This is a 3-level pick game that awards the player three picks per level. To qualify for the next level, you must collect a qualifying number of coins. To progress to level 2, you will need to collect 60 coins and to go onto level 3; you will need to collect at least a further 300 coins. Should you manage to collect a total of 800 coins over the three levels, your wins will be doubled and applied to your bankroll.
There is also a possibility of collecting free spin symbols in this feature. Collect 3, and you will trigger ten free spins.
Play ‘On The Go’
The mobile version of the game is modified for Touch control play, but that’s not all that NetEnt changed this time around. They have cut the setlist option when playing on your Android or Apple device, meaning that you only get a repeated version of the chorus from ‘Welcome to the Jungle’ over and over again throughout the game. They have also axed the video content that appears on the online version when big wins are made.
Aside from these two minor disappointments, the game remains a true legend on the mobile format.
