Rock On is a rock themed slot machine, as you might expect, but it’s not just based on a certain rock group, being about all the stars of the genre instead, including in the form of cartoons some of the big names that influenced rock and roll since its appearance. From Elvis, to Gene Simmons or Jimi Hendrix, to name just a few, you will find that there are a lot of rock stars on the reels of Rock On, and chances are that you’re going to enjoy this tribute to their legacy.
The game’s 5 reels get 20 lines and they offer a combination of bonus games, scatter symbols, free spins, wilds and multipliers, so you get all the good stuff in one place. You also can win up to $10,000, which is not as impressive as the feature list.
Features of Rock On
Among the features that Rock On provides you, you will discover the expanding wild, the Elvis bonus game, the Encore free spins or the multipliers that are attached.
First of all, let’s see what the wild symbol can do for you. It’s an expanding wild, meaning that it can take over an entire reel, as long as this action gets the player a combination of symbols that wouldn’t have been created otherwise. The substitution power of the wild symbol is well known and used in most slot machines, giving the player a few more chances to walk away with a profit. You’re not going to get prizes directly from the wild symbol though, as it doesn’t form combinations of its own. Another advantage of this wild is that it has a multiplier attached which allows it to double all prizes awarded as a result of its substitution.
Encore Free Spins
The Drum Set is the scatter that gets you the free spins, a typical role for a symbol that doesn’t form combinations, instead relying on the total number of times it appears during the same spin. You get 5 spins for free when 3+ Drum Sets are on the reels, with 5x multipliers attached. If you manage to hit a drum during all five spins, at the end of the feature you receive a bonus prize.
Let’s Rock Bonus Game
Elvis, the king of rock and roll, will serve as another scatter symbol, but this time you get a bonus game with his help. A minimum of 3 Elvis bonus symbols activates the bonus game where you have to collect beads which come down from a fretboard. You have to move quickly and use your mouse to get as many as possible, as that will increase the value of the prize.
The songs that you have to go through have different difficulty settings. They include Garden of Secrets, Sunken Treasure, High Noon Showdown, Fortune Teller, Horror House, Egyptian Queen and Gold Mine.
Betting options and jackpots
The betting system is nothing special, Rival uses it on all its 20 line games. For each line that gets activated, you can get a wager of up to $2.50, which uses 10 coins of $0.25. That’s just the maximum setting though, since you can use only 1 coin if you want to, with the lowest denomination at $0.01. The largest wager of the game is worth $50.
You will find that the game promises you up to 4,000x in prizes, though there are multipliers of up to 5x during free spins, while the expanding wild has 2x. The value of the prize, without any multipliers getting involved, is a maximum of $10,000.
Design and symbols
I’m not crazy about the design, despite the rock star inspiration. It’s a cartoon style that makes caricatures out of the rock legends that populate many of its symbols. The reels are placed on the stage, so they are surrounded by multi-colored lights and by speaker systems. If you’re a rock fan, you shouldn’t have any problem recognizing most of the characters that appear among the symbols.
Symbols: Green Guitar (wild), Elvis (bonus), Drum Set (scatter), Red Guitar (4,000x), George Harrison (750x), Jimmy Hendrix (300x), Paul Stanley (200x), Punk Rocker (150x), Groupie (100x), Bret Michaels (75x), Peace (60x) and Rock On (50x).
Is It Worth Playing?
As a fan of rock, it’s a slot machine you shouldn’t be missing out on. It doesn’t have huge prizes, but the wagers don’t get that high either, plus you will find some interesting multipliers that can help out along the way.
This Rock On slot is offered by all online casinos with Rival software, playable either in practice or in real money mode.
