Jimi Hendrix Slot

Jimi Hendrix Slot Review 

Legendary guitarist Jimi Hendrix gets the video slot treatment in this musical homage by NetEnt. The developers even made sure of including a mix of several of Hendrix’s signatures songs as background music. Does the guitar legend translate well into a slot? Let us tell you all about that.

Jimi Hendrix Features

The game has an intro that sets you in nicely for the visual appearance of the game you are about to play. The Jimi Hendrix slot is all about that 60s psychedelic artsy visual style. The symbols on the reels are peace signs, flowers, a heart, an eye, a vinyl disc, and, of course, guitars. Jimi Hendrix himself appears as two (yes, two) different wilds and the game’s scatter. Those three and the guitar symbols are central to the features of the game.

Purple Haze Wild

Jimi Hendrix was such a wild of a guitarist that, apparently, not one wild was enough to make justice to his style in this game. Rather, NetEnt included another symbol that, while technically a wild, it only appears on reel 1. The purple symbol depicting Jimi Hendrix playing his guitar rarely shows up, but when it does, it changes all card symbols into wilds. That means any A, J, Q, K, and 10 on the reels at that moment instantly turn into wilds. The Purple Haze wild also acts as a regular wild once it casts its effect despite looking different from the regular ones.

Red Guitar Re-Spin

This video slot deception of a red guitar that famously belonged to Jimi Hendrix it’s one of its symbols. It is the highest non-wild paying one on the board, in fact. Whenever you manage to land four of them on the board at one time, the games give you one totally free re-spin. The four red guitars stay frozen in place during the re-spin. If you happen to land another red guitar during the re-spin, you get another one on the house. This can theoretically continue indefinitely until the reels fill completely with red guitars.

Pick And Click Feature

The game has one scatter symbol, which is a Jimi Hendrix dressed in white facing forward with a guitar in hand. These scatters only appear in reels 3, 4, and 5. When you manage to land three of them across those limited number of reels, you trigger the Pick And Click feature. 

This Pick And Click feature consists of, as implied in the name, a pick and click game. The game presents a number of loudspeakers for you to click on. Clicking in them makes it reveal one of four possible symbols. A coin, the crosstown traffic scatter, the purple haze scatters, or the little wing scatter. Reveal tree matches one of those four symbols to gain access to different prizes depending on the symbol. 

Jimi Hendrix Slot Free Spins

As stated already, there are three different free spins rounds in the Jimi Hendrix slot. To access each one, you need to get three matching symbols of any of the corresponding scatters in the Pick And Click feature. These are the different free spins rounds here:

• Crosstown Traffic free spins: Reveal three Crosstown Traffic scatters (white guitar in flames) to access it. You get 6 free spins here. Wild reels will appear covering different reels during each of the free spins. It starts to appear in reel 5, then reels 5 and 4, later reels 4 and 3, then reel 3 and 2, then reels 2 and 1, and finally on reel 1 only.
• Purple Haze free spins: Get three purple haze scatters (the white guitar emanating purple mist) to activate it. You get anywhere between 6 and 12 free spins. Just like with the purple haze wild, all A, J, K Q, K, and 10 symbols turn into wilds during every spin.
• Little Wing free spins: Land three little wing scatters (white guitar drenched in water) to trigger it. You get 6 to 12 free spins, and random overlay wilds appear throughout the round.

The Verdict

The theme is on point. But the fact you have to go through the Pick And Play feature to get to the free spins makes this slot miss a few chords. While the red guitar re-spin does show often, it does not completely make up for it. Thus, we recommend the Jimi Hendrix slot for those more contented with the wins on the base game.
