Spinal Tap Slot

Spinal Tap Slot

Blueprint Gaming’s Spinal Tap slot pays homage to the 80s mockumentary movie with a cult following of fans; ‘This is Spinal Tap’. This game is as far out as the Upgradium slot – well not as far out, but close.

This game takes fans and newbies to the original big screen comedy goldmine on a full throttle tour of the best bits of Spinal Tap. The game embraces the long-haired heavy metal Brit rock gods as they attempt to break the into the US market, and you try to cash in too with a generous slug of bonus and side features.

Key Slot Facts

Spinal Tap is a 5 reel and 3 row slot from Blueprint Gaming that was launched in June 2018. This game has 243 Ways to Win and an above average RTP of 97% and a medium to high volatility. The maximum win is a big 10,000x your wager.

Look and Feel

This game is a rockfest! The reels are set against a live music venue packed with fans with stage lights and the full concert atmosphere. The reels themselves are simple, they show up those rockers on the reels and are topped with the famous Spinal Tap logo.

On the right of the reels is a souped-up spin button (with volume that goes up to 11 of course) which doubles up as a button to crank up the music and enter Rock Mode- this is accessed by clicking on the VIP Pass.

Spinal Tap is one of those games like the Fortunium Slot that seem to look better on a mobile than they do on a desktop. Don’t ask me how they pull that off, but they do.

The soundtrack of play is a bitchin’ rock track with guitar riffs and loud drums- just the thing to get you in the tour vibe.

Gameplay

This is a 5 reel, 3 rows game that is bulging with potential pay lines. In the base game there are a very generous 243 Ways to Win but as the game modes change this can sky-rocket to 2187. But then Blueprint are know for their innovative games like the Diamond Mine slot and Ted, so I guess we shouldn’t be surprised.

Pros and Cons

Prepare for the Rock Gods

The high value icons are of course the band’s logo and then the main characters from the band including David St Hubbins, Nigel Tufnell, Derek Smalls and a temporary band member who is key to movie’s black comedy moments.

The lower value icons are the Ace through Jack of the card deck in the Spinal Tap metal font- it’s all very rock and roll!

The game’s Wild is a green guitar plectrum with a skull on it and this substitutes for all icons except the Bonus Scatter which is a metal cow skull with horns.

Spinal Tap Bonus Picking

Spinal Tap slot is packed with seven bonus extras. You only need to land 3 or more bonus Scatters to enter the world of the Bonus Picker. Once you’ve hooked these Scatters, you will have a tempting offer of seven side games to play.

If you got lucky with four or more, then the less valuable elements are taken out of the running, leaving you with only the more lucrative side games to play. Naturally, given this is the world of rock, you’re offered a stack of gold vinyl discs to choose from, and this determines which of the games you’ll get to play.

The World Tour is a picking game where you move around tour locations, winning prizes as you progress with the ultimate aim of reaching the Big Money Bonus where you can pick a band member to add a multiplier between x2 and x10 to your wins.

Stonehenge Spins

Stonehenge Free Spins is as mega as the monument it is named after! You’ll have a new seven row reel-set to work on and a tasty eleven free spins to get cracking with.

This is where the pay line potential goes through the roof with that eye-watering 2187 Ways to Win just waiting for you in the wings.

And because those Rock Gods are a generous bunch, Wilds that land during this mode become sticky. Plus you can re-trigger this side game, always one of our favourite features in a slot.

Encore Spins

Encore Free Spins is on the same mega reels as the Stonehenge feature, and again there are eleven free spins to make you some musical money!

The Stairway to Hell Free Spins is again on the special seven row grid and once again there are eleven spins for your pleasure- the boon this time is that if a speaker icon lands it will award you with more free spins and an x11 multiplier in the mix. Rock on!

Record Deal

Record Deal keeps in the industry vibe: you pick a vinyl record which will give you one of the features already covered or a cash prize.

Don’t Fret

The hilariously titled, Don’t Fret it is another picking game where you ascend a ladder of prizes to reveal bigger and better prizes.

Double Platinum

And last but not least, the Double Platinum feature gives you the chance to win multipliers or the other side games by spinning a wheel of fortune with the potential to enter the bonus game.

Turn up the Volume and Dosh

If you choose to turn the spin button which doubles as a volume button up to an ear-splitting 11 then you activate the Rock Mode but this spin will cost 50x your stake.

Remember- Spinal Tap’s amps go up to volume 11 which is one louder than 10!

Rock Mode beefs up the reels making the 5 reel slot into a mega 7 reel beast, increasing the number of pay-lines. When you activate this, apart from the fireworks and excitement, a record disc is spun with the needle settling on one of four bonus modifiers on offer- if you don’t like the one you’ve landed there’s a f*cuk it button when you can spin it once again! Good luck!

Other neat features include: 

• Wild Sparks which adds extra Wilds to the reels by transforming icons into Wilds.
• Heavy Duty Wilds awards you expanding Wilds which take over a whole reel and bring multipliers to your game too.
• Rock ‘n Roll Spins give you re-spins with new symbols adding to the cluster.
• Bonus Odyssey adds Scatters to each reel making more chances of triggering the other features.

Conclusion

The Spinal Tap slot has so many bonus modifiers and side games that there’s no way that you could possibly get bored with this game that just keeps upping the ante on the extras.

The game’s theme is great delivering a slot that is the perfect celebration of the best rock band that never existed. It’s a total riot and great fun to play.
