However, the game also comes with exclusive special features such as Wilds substitutions, Purple Haze Feature and Red Guitar Re-Spin. The slot is so rich in bonuses and unique features that we’re certain you won’t get bored easily – especially if you’re a Hendrix fan!

Jimi Hendrix Game Theme

The psychedelic visuals of the slot bring you right back to the time the legendary guitarist was making a name for himself. With flowers, hearts and peace symbols reminiscent of the sixties and colours similar to Jimi Hendrix album colours, this slot is guaranteed to put you in the mood for rock n’ roll.

This isn’t the first time NetEnt has come out with a rock themed video slot. Thanks to the celebration of 20 Years of Innovation in 2016, the company has announced NetEnt Rocks Campaign – a collection of three video slots dedicated to the rock industry.

The first slot to be launched in the collection was the very well-received Guns n’ Roses slot, followed by the the Jimi Hendrix and Motorhead video slot. 

What better way to celebrate a 20-year anniversary if not with rock n’ roll?

As the second installment of the series, the launch of the Jimi Hendrix slot brought with it high expectations, especially after the success of the previous installment – the Guns n’ Roses slot. It is certainly different to its electric and more aggressive counterpart – albeit following a similar format.

Don’t be fooled by the seemingly docile look of this game’s theme, however – the Jimi Hendrix online slot will nonetheless rock your socks off. 

Design And Layout

The game is beautifully and intuitively designed to work on both desktop and mobile. The buttons for adjusting the level, autoplay and maximum bet are clearly marked on the responsive interface of the game. Options for setting coin value, settings and requesting more information are also clearly marked, and the display is overall intuitive and fully-functioning.

Despite the array of colours and flashy animation, the set-up is easy on the eyes and pleasant to play for hours on end.

Mobile

Some players might even prefer the simplified version of this busy and colourful slot over the desktop version. This is because it is cleaner and less distracting on mobile, and just as exciting and immersive to play. 

Jimi Hendrix Gameplay

We’re not sure whether it’s the visuals or the acoustics that stand out the most in this slot. Considering the theme of the game, one would assume that it’s the latter, but the lively symbols and festive animations really do take the cake.

Apart from the attractive gameplay, the Jimi Hendrix slot has some truly unique features. Along with the Wild Substitutions and Scatter Symbols, two special features that can be unlocked in-game are the Purple Haze and the Red Guitar Re-Spin.

When the Purple Haze symbol lands on reel 1, symbols 10, J, Q, K and A become Wild symbols for the remainder of the spin.

Features

Wild symbols act in the same way a Joker would in a deck of cards, substituting any other card. Likewise, the Wild symbol would substitute all other symbols, and with the Purple Haze feature the aforementioned symbols all become Wilds, rapidly increasing your chances of scoring a big win.

Jimi Hendrix slot – Wild Symbol

The next special feature unique to Jimi Hendrix online slot is the Red Guitar Re-Spin feature. This is definitely the most profitable symbol in the game, and one to look out for. As the name might suggest, the feature is provoked by the appearance of 4 or more Red Guitar symbols on the reels.

When this happens, the reels spin again. If further Red Guitar symbols appear, this process is repeated. Therefore, the Red Guitar Re-Spin feature only deactivates when no Red Guitar symbols appear a spin. If you get lucky, you can go crazy with all the spins!

Payouts & Wagering Limits

We’ve found Jimi Hendrix online slot to be quite a fair game. The 96.91% Return to Player Rate is good, and the 30.10% hit frequency is standard for slots of its kind. The volatility for this slot is medium.

As long as you play at a stake level that is appropriate for your bankroll, there is no reason to worry too much about payouts with this slot. 

Keep in mind that you will probably also be benefitting from free spins offered by the game.

The minimum bet is set at €0.20, and the maximum at €200. The maximum coinciding win is €80,000 or 80,000 coins.

Conclusion

Given the quality of the game, the attractive theme, the fact that you can play for fun without depositing, the unique special bonuses and the decent payout if you do play for money – we think you’ll get a good deal with this game. The hits certainly outweigh the misses, in our opinion.

However, if you are not a Jimi Hendrix fan, you might find some of the features a bit taxing. The slot includes songs, symbols and features which are a nod to the fans in particular – clearly an exciting element of the game – which might be lost on those who aren’t interested in the theme.

This slot is not all about the theme, though. We believe that any player who enjoys slots will see the merit in this high quality and overall enjoyable game.
