Design
Normally we'd talk about a slot's soundtrack last when covering design, but Guns N' Roses is all about the music. This game comes with a setlist of five officially licensed songs from the band that players can choose to listen to, Unsurprisingly, these are five of the band greatest hits, Welcome to the Jungle, Sweet Child O' Mine, Paradise City, November Rain and Chinese Democracy. Players can choose to change the song at any time if they want to try something different.
When it comes to design, this game just looks spectacular, especially for a 2016 release! The reels are set on a jumbotron you'd find either side of a stage whilst attending a festival or concert. Behind the reels is an open-air stage with fans crammed in to watch Guns N' Roses perform their catalogue of heavy hits.
Low paying symbols are your standard 10, J, Q, K, A, all adorned with Roses that you can find on the Guns N' Roses logo. High paying symbols are two guitar picks and three prominent band members bass player Duff McKagan, legendary guitarist Slash and lead singer Axl Rose. The special wild symbol is the Guns N' Roses logo, this symbol can expand to cover an entire reel, during Encore free Spins a special Slash-inspired wild can appear, during the Appetite for Destruction bonus special skull wilds can appear. This slot also features Legend Spins that see fully expanded reels featuring Duff, Axl and Slash.
