How Classic Rock Legends Have Influenced The Designs of Modern Slot Games

How Classic Rock Legends Have Influenced The Designs of Modern Slot Games

One of the biggest gambling sectors is slots. Slots are a fun way of gambling; the games and the genres of the games can vary. A lot of people enjoy slots because it has more changes compared to games like Roulette, with roulette it is very similar each time but slots can have different themes and levels etc. 

Rock bands and artists have the most crossover with slots and their music, as slots are very influenced by Rock music. Some of the biggest slot games are created for rock bands, so what are the biggest games and how do they collaborate with the bands?

Jimi Hendrix

Jimi Hendrix is one of the biggest and most influential artists of all time and his influence carries over to slots. The Jimi Hendrix slot is very popular and fits into the aesthetic that Jimi had for his career. Hendrix’s psychedelic sound and image are perfectly translated to the game, which is surrounded by bright colours and floral designs. The game features some of the rock star’s best songs and is a great game for fans of the legendary guitarist or even if you are just a fan of slots. 

Guns ‘N’ Roses

Guns ‘N’ Roses are one of the biggest and most iconic bands in the world and their rock influence can not be undermined. This is another game that perfectly captures the imagery of this incredible band. When you spin on the game songs like “Sweet Child o’ Mine” play and this is because the band officially sponsored the game and gave it licenses for songs and other key characteristics of the band’s aesthetic. This game was a massive hit and is one of the biggest slots ever made, websites like Fruity Slots offer affiliate links to some of the biggest betting websites that offer a selection of online slots and sites to play at, so you can play any of the games that we mention today. 

Def Leppard

Hysteria was an album released by Def Leppard in 1987 and was arguably their biggest album of all time. This album was filled with hits like “Women” and “Animal” and the list goes on. So when this slot was created by Play’N’ Go, it only made sense for this album to be the name of their slot game. 

Fans of Def Leppard who play this game will be able to hear some of the band’s biggest songs as the rounds play the music and are named after some of their hits.

The songs featured are “Break It Up”, “Fire Me Up”, “Sugar Me Sweet” and “Pour Some Sugar On Me”. This allows fans of the band to listen to the music while playing the game. Also, having the songs as names for different rounds sets it apart from the other slots. 

KISS Reels of Rock

Another game developed by Play’N Go, KISS Reels of Rock is the newest game we will mention today as it came out in 2021. This game is popular not only for the KISS branding but also because of the RTP rate of 96.2%. The bonus rounds are names of places where the band had some of their iconic concerts. These places are Johannesburg, Sydney, London, Rio de Janeiro, and Tokyo. The bonus round gives you the choice of location, with each location having a different amount of spins and ‘encore’ chances which are specific to the KISS game. This is a great game for fans of KISS as it also shows the specific face paint that the band wears so fans will be able to recognise each member by their iconic look. 

Final Thoughts 

Overall I highly recommend playing these games if you are a fan of any of the artists mentioned. The developers do a really good job of making it enjoyable for the fans as the fans will be able to catch things that other people won’t understand. Rock music will continue to have a hand in slots and online gaming and I expect a big increase in slots inspired by rock bands as the tech gets better.
