Jimi Hendrix Slot Review

When we usually examine a game, we have to provide our own music, but when we wrote our Jimi Hendrix slot machine review there was no need! The game is stuffed full of Jimi’s best riffs, amplifying the excitement factor of each session like a 100-watt Marshall stack turned up to 11.

Jimi Hendrix Theme
The whole Jimi Hendrix slot machine is set against a gritty depiction of the Monument Valley national park with Jimi’s signature white Stratocaster thrown into the sand for good measure. Equally as important as the looks is the audio, and you’ll be treated to some of Hendrix’s biggest hits as you play.

On top of the musical clips, the game itself is a loving tribute to the Flower Power era with hearts, flowers, CND badges, vinyl discs, guitars and more on the reels – though when you score a win the symbols involved will explode into a lavish display of more flowers and animated symbols for extra effect. There are a handful of stock poker symbols used for lower value wins, but they’re well designed too.

Betting Options
The minimum bet at this slot is $0.20, which is reasonable, but might be a little high for some looking to play for micro-stakes. At the other end of the scale, the most that can be bet per spin is an impressive $200, which will be enough for even the biggest spending of slots players. As is nearly always the case, the more you bet, the more you could win.
Netent’s unique betting selection system is used here, so as well as picking coin values from $0.01 to $1, you can choose a bet level from 1 to 10. Your bet amount in cash is shown in the black bar at the bottom of the screen. The paylines at this slot are fixed, so you can’t change their number in order to adjust your bet amount.

Bonus Features
The first thing to say is that Hendrix himself is the wild symbol at this slot, meaning he can substitute for all other symbols, except the scatter, and help you make winning combinations. There’s no multiplier attached to him, but he’s still a really useful symbol.

Land the Purple Haze symbol on Reel 1 and you’ll trigger the Purple Haze feature. The remaining reels will continue spinning, and any 10, J, Q, K or A symbols on the screen will be transformed into wild symbols for that spin only – as will the Purple Haze symbol itself.

The Red Guitar Re-spin takes place when you land 4 red guitar symbols anywhere on the reels. These symbols will stay put, becoming sticky whilst a re-spin takes place. As long as new red guitars appear, another re-spin will be awarded, with the appearance of more and more red guitars making it far easier to score large wins.

Finally, there’s a good old fashioned scatter feature, that we managed to trigger a number of times when researching our Jimi Hendrix review – although the Pick and Click game it takes you to is far more interesting than the usual free spins round you can expect.

Firstly, you’ll click on various speaker cabinets to reveal different features, and when you match up 3, you’ll know which feature you’ve been awarded:

Three coin win symbols will award you between 8x and 30x your bet value in a simple, one-off payout. Three Crosstown Traffic symbols wins you 6 free spins, with different, special Wild Reels appearing for each spin.

Three Purple Haze symbols and you’ll get even more free spins, with up to 12 awarded, during which any 10, J, Q, K or A symbols turn wild. Finally, The Little Wing feature also awards up to 12 free spins, but this time between 3 and 5 sticky wilds are added for extra chances to win.

Jimi Hendrix Maximum Win
There’s an $80,000 jackpot waiting for you if you reach the pinnacle of this game. When it comes to the maximum win per payline during the base game, you’ll find that the most you can win is 400x your coin value, multiplied by your level. This means that those playing at the highest stakes could win $4,000 per payline. However, you can, of course, win multiple prizes on a single spin.

Is Jimi Hendrix Worth Playing and Who Should Play It?
This is a high-spec game even by Netent’s standards, and consequently we think it’s well worth playing. The graphics and particularly the audio are both great, making every spin of the reels loads of fun, while the prizes on offer can be huge. The biggest reason to play this slot though? It’s the numerous bonus features, which keep excitement levels high all the time.

For those who love Hendrix’s music or are curious about hearing the very best from his catalogue, it’s a must-play slot. Those who love games with lots of features and tombola style ‘pick me’ rounds should also really enjoy spinning the reels. Those who are simply out to find the slots with high RTPs will also be happy, as this slot’s return-to-player is much higher than the average.
