Motorhead

Launched in September 2016, Motorhead pays homage to the legendary rock band of the same name, and its lead Lemmy. Rock along the best hits of the band as NetEnt wraps up the rock and roll trilogy with, in our opinion, the strongest pick out of all three of them.

With 5 reels and 76 ways to win, the unique setup of the playing field, many interesting bonuses, and the chords of a guitar following each spin makes it so this slot is a must if you love rock and roll, and a damn good pick even if you do not.

After the Jimi Hendrix game was met with negative reviews and general dislike from fans, NetEnt went back to the drawing board to make sure their new slot did not make the same mistakes. The reels are obvious example of this, resembling the Dazzle Me game in how they play.

Both Scatters and Wilds make their way in Motorhead. Wilds carry the name of the band’s hit song, Ace of Spades, while Scatters are a screaming demon head with wings sprouting off to the side – appropriate imagery for a hardcore rock band. Wilds do not have any special things attached to it, unfortunately, and can only replace other icons.

And if all of that is not enough for you, the Autoplay option is fantastically implemented as well. NetEnt really made it detailed, as you can adjust to several factors in the advanced settings, and then just lean back and watch the wins pile on.

Thanks to the unique format of the reels, the paylines remain fixed. However, both coin value and bet level are adjustable, which means that this slot can be played for as little as $0.20 up to $200, which is great for casual players just looking to try this out.

The variance in Motorhead is not that great, but that’s made up by the fact that the game has a near 97% return to player, which is rather high for a slot of this type. Then again, this NetEnt release does feel like it is more meant for playing casually and paying respect to the band rather than giving gamblers large wins.

Rock and roll games deserve proper symbols, and NetEnt delivers here. Lower paying icons include a three leaf clover, cherries and horseshoes, while higher paying symbols are a lucky seven, a silver bell, a star and Lemmy himself as the highest paying icon in the entire slot.

When you press spin, one or more reels will be covered up by the band’s logo, acting as a mystery reel. The mystery reel is stacked, and is revealed after the spin is over, and they can be any symbol in the game except for Scatters. Additionally, the mystery reels expand into the Bomber special feature.

Bombers happen randomly in the slot. The lights dim, the engine of a bike roars to life suddenly, and bombs start falling down onto the reels, transforming clusters of symbols into mystery icons. As this is spread out across the playing field, it increases the odds of a 5 of a kind win tremendously.

Finally, NetEnt’s release gives us free spins that come from Scatters. Scatters only appear on reels 3, 4 and 5, and when all three are active at once, Motorhead gives you 10 free spins. While the bonus round is active, mystery reels can also give you Wilds, which is a huge boost in how big you can score.
