The screaming guitars, the booming bass, and the thundering drums. There’s just nothing like being in the audience at a big rock show – or up on stage. Whether on the front row or dancing in place in the cheap seats, the concert experience can be a memorable occasion and offer a nice escape from the daily grind.
Casino gamblers looking to keep the party going now have numerous rock ‘n’ roll-themed slots to choose from. Game developers have now licensed games with head bangers like Ozzy Osbourze, Runs N’ Roses, and numerous others.
1 – Ozzy Osbourne
Join the prince of darkness on a unique online slot machine adventure, complete with skulls, black birds, and more. The former Black Sabbath frontman is along for the ride, belting out some of his biggest hits. Ozzy fans won’t be disappointed as the action plays out in front of some kind of creepy castle or underworld. Fitting the rock ‘n' roll rebel, two demon-like creatures guard the gates of this hellish place. Hopefully your own spins on the game are anything but a hellish experience.
2 – KISS
Speaking of demons, join Gene Simmons, Paul Stanley, and the rest of the gang on the is popular slots. The band has licensed products in every category imaginable – from dolls and T-shirts to lunchboxes and coffins. It seems only natural that a slot machine would join that extensive list. Band members are featured heavily on the reels with other symbols including guitar picks, V-shaped guitars, and more. Bang your head to hits like “Love Gun” and “Shout It Out Loud!”.
3 – Guns N’ Roses
This game takes players on tour with Axl and the boys. Look for Slash and other band members also spinning on the reels as well as plenty of roses, guns, tributes to the band’s album covers, and guitar picks along the way as well. Keep spinning and watch for Axl belting out some of the band’s hits. The background features a giant stage with fans checking out Guns in action. The band’s iconic logo is also embedded behind the reels. This is a game any GNR fan should definitely check out.
4 – Motörhead
A band that rocks out to a song called “Ace of Spades” seems like the perfect fit for a slot machine. This game delivers plenty of punch as players get a first-hand view of the concert stage. Check out the walls of speakers, amplifiers, stage lights, and guitar – all ready to go. You’ll need to bring some winning spins to the table to get the action going. As for symbols, Motörhead goes a little old school with icons like stars, horseshoes, cherries, bells, 7s, clovers, and more. You’ll also find band members and the ace of spades, which serves as the wild symbol. Play your cards right and you may be motoring to some nice cash.
5 – Jimi Hendrix
Classic rock fans will find that some of their favorites can return when heading to the casino floor. This slot game will have fans looking back fondly on this rock legend as they sit for a real jam session with songs like “Foxy Lady” as a major part of the action. Symbols are reminiscent of 1960s “flower power” including peace signs, flowers, eyes, music notes, record albums, guitars, hearts, and more. The background features a desert landscape and players will find some fittingly named bonuses like the Purple Haze and Red Guitar Re-Spin features. You may have missed out on Woodstock, but the Jimi Hendrix slot offers a nice front row seat for some cool sounds.
6 – This is Spinal Tap
Who could forget this fictional 1980s British heavy metal band? The “documentary” was a blast and now the slot game offers plenty of fun as well. Players will find themselves in front of a massive stage as they spin the reels. Look for members of the band to appear such as David St. Hubbins, Nigel Tufnel, and Derek Smalls. As fans of the film will remember, two of the band’s drummers die after “spontaneous human combustion,” so those two don’t make an appearance. Play things just right and a giant spinning record takes up half the screen and serves as a bonus wheel for a chance to win even more. Guitars, with flames shooting out of them of course, serve as the wild symbols. Spinal Tap is remembered as “one of England's loudest bands” and that fun energy comes through in the game as well. Turn it up to 11!
7 – Ritchie Valens La Bamba
If a bit of ‘50s rock ‘n’ roll is more your style, then La Bamba may be the perfect fit. Fans of The 1987 film chronicled the life of Ritchie Valens in rock’s early days and the slot machine brings some of his music to a new generation. There’s no heavy metal in this one and the game features a vintage 1950s diner setting with symbols like records, a phonograph, radio, dancing shoes, a black and white television, an autograph book, concert tickets, publicity photos of Ritchie, and more. This is a fun trip back in time and will have players bobbing their heads to some classic tunes.
8 – RockStar
This game doesn’t focus on a specific artist but instead takes players into the life of a real rock ‘n’ roll star. Look for some cool symbols associated with the life of a rock star including record contracts, guitars, magazine covers, booze, VIP tickets, fans, and more. The game also includes an interesting cast of characters ready to blow up some speakers and smash some guitars. Fittingly, the soundtrack features some screaming guitars and dynamic drums. Some of the bonus games take players right to the concert. Some of these extras have you playing along as part of the band or checking out a solo.
