Motörhead
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.
