Black Mambaby Play'n Go

Music and gambling, a match made in heaven according to the developers who make music band themed slot games.

They’re still a rare breed because there aren’t that many releases but the ones that do exist tend to be very popular.

Developer Play’n Go has already dipped their toes into this field – first with a game dedicated to the Swedish heavy metal band Sabaton, and then again with another heavy metal legend – the UK outfit Demon.

Theme

And now the developer is back with another music-based offering dedicated to the Italian band Black Mamba.

The symbols in the game are all tied to music with the high paying ones being the band members and the low paying items represented by headphones, microphones, guitar picks, and other music equipment.

Visually, the game maintains a glossy and cool rock aesthetic that’s all about looking good and sounding even better.

With music taken from the band’s actual oeuvre it’s a treat for all the fans but also a chance for everyone else to discover their new favorite band.

Betting Options and Functions

The gameplay system used in this offering is very similar to another one of the developer’s efforts – Rich Wild and the Tome of Madness.

Just like there, the symbols are on a 5x5 grid and employ a new twist on the tumbling (also known as cascade) mechanic. The winning combinations are formed by three or more of the same symbols appearing vertically or horizontally together. The winning symbols then disappear and the rest of them fall down with the chance to create another win. But unlike in most tumbling games, the disappearing symbols are not replaced with new ones.

The activation of special features depends on creating a large win chain, just like in Tome of Madness.

Special Features

Where the game really shines is in the large number of special features that are available to punters.

Firstly, there is the global multiplier that is active in the base game and increases by one with every successful combo. The best thing about it – it’s unlimited.

But there’s much more because on every non-winning spin in the base game one of three Solos can activate and bring with them special effects that change the condition of the grid.

A solo from Alexandra will destroy two sets of any symbol, Cecilia can add up to two wilds, and Fred can transform one set of symbols into another set of symbols.

And:

Once the players collect enough of the band member symbols during the win combo the Concert will begin.

During the concert, all of the band members will perform their associated effect one after the other.

And finally, the extra spins mode. It’s activated by clearing the entire board of any symbols and then the true excitement begins because the multiplier will carry over from the base game and reset to the value it was when the spins started after a win combo is over.

Also, on every non-winning spin in the extra spins mode the activating band member’s solo will be played and Martina’s solo which destroys the bottom row will be played on every single spin.

Our Take

Play’n Go has crafted a real treat for music fans and fans of slots with involved and complicated features.

There’s a lot to take in when first trying out this game, but the deep gameplay will keep you interested once the full complexity reveals itself.

Definitely don’t miss this one because there’s a lot of fun to be had with a game that has so many different and engaging features.
