Motorhead

Motorhead is inarguably one of the most famous heavy metal bands of all time, and while the group’s lead singer, Lemmy, sadly passed away in December 2015, his memory will live on forever thanks to the third and final instalment of the NetEnt Rocks mobile slot trilogy.

The Motorhead mobile slot follows on from Guns n Roses and Jimi Hendrix, and like its predecessors, it features some of the artist’s greatest hits. As Lemmy was a big fan of slot games, it seems appropriate that NetEnt has chosen to honour his band in this way. And, we like to think that he’d be hugely excited about all the game’s special features such as the Rock Mode, Mystery Reels, and Bomber Feature.

Rock out with Motorhead on your mobile for a chance to win 570x your stake on every spin

NetEnt has designed the Motorhead mobile slot with five reels and seventy-six fixed paylines. The structure of the reels means that they get progressively taller from left-to-right. So, Reels 1 and 2 are both three rows high; Reels 3 and 4 are four rows high, and Reel 5 is five rows high.

The background of the game features an empty stage waiting for the band to perform. To the front, the left, and the right, there are massive amps and speakers; in the centre is a drum kit, and at the very back, a smoke machine and spotlight bathe the stage in a hazy glow. Tapping the ‘Rock Mode’ button instantly cranks the volume up to the max, giving you a taste of the powerful soundtrack, which includes the smash hit, “Ace of Spades”.

Lemmy appears on the reels as a paying symbol along with gold stars, cherries, lucky horseshoes, silver bells, four-leaf clovers, 7s, the Ace of Spades (the wild), and Motorhead’s unmistakable Snaggletooth logo (the scatter).

The Mystery Reel feature on Motorhead commences on every spin (in both the base game and the Free Spins Bonus), and fills one or more reels with stacks of mystery symbols. When the reels come to rest, you find out which randomly chosen symbol the mystery symbols will transform into, and if they help to create or enhance a win, you’ll receive a prize accordingly.

The Ace of Spade’s wild can substitute for every symbol except the scatter to help you achieve more (and more valuable) wins. The Snaggletooth scatter activates the Free Spins Bonus when it lands anywhere on the third, fourth, and fifth reel on the same spin. You get ten free spins and, while the bonus cannot be retriggered, the Mystery Reels can potentially reveal wilds as well as Mystery symbols to help you create some epic winning combinations.

The Bomber Feature can trigger at random at any point while you’re playing the Motorhead mobile slot. You’ll know when it’s occurring as the spotlights begin to flash on and off at various positions over the stage, and you have to wait with baited breath until the reels stop shaking to discover where on the reels the bombs are going to land before they create as many as fifteen mystery symbols.

To quote Motorhead’s “Ace of Spades”, “you win some, you lose some” - “the pleasure is to play”, and this slot is the ultimate crowd-pleaser. So, if you’re a fan of NetEnt mobile slots and heavy metal music, take the opportunity to rock out with the Motorhead slot right now.
