Motörhead Features

Expect fireworks from this metal masterpiece! Motörhead plays host to three epic bonuses, a Mystery Reel feature, a Bomber feature and of course a highly lucrative free spins feature

First and foremost we have the Mystery Reel feature that is active on every spin of the reels during base gameplay (as well as during the bonus feature). One or more reels will always feature stacked mystery symbols that will reveal symbols at the end of the spin, potentially forming winning paylines. 

Secondly, we have the Bomber feature. This feature is triggered randomly before any spin, players will know when it kicks in as the game screen will be dimmed and an air raid siren will bellow loudly. Bombs carrying a cluster of mystery symbols are then dropped on the game reels and symbols explode. These mystery symbols replace the original symbols.

Finally, we have the free spins. Free spins activate when players land 3 scatter symbols anywhere on reels 3, 4 or 5 during base gameplay. During the free spins bonus the Mystery Reel feature is active, however as well as just standard symbols appearing, wilds can also land stacked, leading to some huge payouts.

Motörhead - Mystery Reel Feature

Mystery Reel Feature

The Mystery Reel feature triggers on every spin and turns one (or more) of the game reels into a mystery reel that can display stacked symbols that can potentially form winning paylines.

Motörhead - Bomber Feature

Bomber Feature

The Bomber feature can activate randomly ahead of any spin during base gameplay. The stage lights dim, and an air siren goes off. Bombers will drop bombs onto the game reels, blowing them up and filling them with wild symbols.

Motörhead - Free Spins

Free Spins

When three scatter symbols land anywhere on the game reels players will automatically be awarded with 10 free spins. During these free spins the mystery reel can contain both standard symbols and wilds.

Motörhead Review

Released in 2016, Motörhead is the third and final game in the legendary NetEnt Rocks series, this unique 5-reel, 76 payline rock n roll masterpiece based on the band of the same name seriously packs a punch with three quality bonus features to enjoy!

What are you waiting for? Grab a bottle of Jack, raise a toast to Lemmy and get spinning, as you could find yourself picking up some solid wins playing this heavy-metal hitter. 

Design

This unique slot looks, feels and sounds great, the reels are set in front of a smoky, dimly lit stage featuring Motörhead's instruments (namely Lemmy's bass guitar) and amplifiers. Low paying symbols include a lucky four-leaf clover, cherries and a horseshoe. 

High paying symbols are the number 7, a silver bell, a golden star and of course, the man himself, the late Ian Fraser Kilmister, better known as Lemmy, the band's famous lead-singer and bassist. Special symbols include a golden Ace of Spades as a wild, and a golden Motörhead logo as the game's scatter symbol.

When the reels aren't spinning players can hear the buzz of a live crowd awaiting Motörhead to hit the stage, when the reels are spinning players are treated to some of Motörhead's greatest hits, this is assuming players have pressed the 'Rock Mode' button that actually starts the music! Personally, we don't understand why anyone that chose to play this slot would ever avoid pressing this button. If players manage to trigger the free spins feature, the music will change to Motörhead's greatest hit, the Ace of Spades. 

Gameplay

The most jarring thing about this slot is the fact that the reels are set up in a 3-3-4-4-5 formation, as opposed to being equal in length like most standard slots, but this isn't a bad thing, we love a bit of variety in our gameplay. 

In terms of navigating the slot, this 2016 hit allows players to change their bet level and coin value on the action bar along the bottom of the screen. Players can also set up to 1000 automated spins or automatically set the stake to the maximum with one click of a button.

Win Potential

If you're after low volatility gameplay then this slot is well worth playing, especially considering it has a pretty solid RTP of 96.98%. Unfortunately, this slot falls flat on its face when it comes to winning potential though, with only a maximum of 570x the player's stake on offer.

Our Verdict

We genuinely enjoyed playing Motörhead, it's a great looking slot with some great music... And sometimes that's all it takes to get us hooked on a game. To top it off we found the bonus features to be genuinely exciting and kept us engaged, especially considering they triggered fairly regularly during playtesting, which was nice to see. 

If you're a Motörhead game then you'll fall in love with it instantly, if not then you should still enjoy it, even if the low win potential does leave a bad taste in your mouth.
