Net Entertainment showed its musical prowess with the release of the smash hit Guns 'N Roses slot and their second rock themed slot follows in a similar vein. You will hear classic songs such as Purple Haze, Little Wing and Crosstown Traffic too.
The visuals have a 1960s feel and summon up the hippy summer of love - look out for peace logos, hearts, flowers and vinyl records alongside playing cards from A to 9. They're joined by a pair of electric guitars and a cartoon image of Hendrix himself which is the game's wild.
Just like the Guns 'N Rose slot, NetEnt has packed in a host of features into the Jimi Hendrix game - land 3 scatter symbols (Jimi playing the white guitar) on reels 3, 4 and 5 to trigger the Click and Pick feature. Click on the amplifiers - when you've found 3 of the same symbol, you'll trigger the feature related to that symbol. There are 4 of them in all.
First up is the Coin Win feature which will award you with a cash prize worth between 8 and 30 times your total stake.
Next up is the Crosstown Traffic Free Spins feature - here you'll be awarded 6 free games. Wild Reels will appear on a different reel throughout the free spins, starting on reel 5. On the 2nd spin, they move to reels 4 and 5 then on to reels 3 and 4 for the 3rd spin. It's 2 and 3 on the 4th spin then 1 and 2 on the 5th. The round finishes with the wild reel on reel 1.
The purple flecked guitar will deliver the Purple Haze Free Spins feature - here you'll receive between 6 and 12 free spins. During the feature, all of the low value playing card symbols (10, J, Q, K, and A) will be wild.
Finally, there is the Little Wing Free Spins feature. During your 6 to 12 free spins, you'll receive 3 to 5 overlay wilds which will appear at random on each free spin.
There are 2 further base game features - land the Purple Haze symbol on reel 1 and all the playing card symbols (10, J, Q, K and A) will be turned wild for that spin only (known as the Purple Haze feature)
Land 4 or more Red Guitar symbols anywhere on the reels to trigger the Red Guitar Re-spins feature. If a red guitar lands on the re-spin, you'll receive another extra spin. These keep on coming until you have a re-spin where no new Red Guitars are added to the reels.
As you can see, there's plenty on offer in the Jimi Hendrix slot - it looks excellent and has a real psychedelic feel. Fans of one the all-time great guitarists will find plenty to enjoy here. Even if you were too young to sample the original Jimi Hendrix experience, there are enough extras and interactive features on show here to make the slot version a worthy substitute.
The variance is something in the middle with the biggest wins coming in the 3 free spins features – I personally like the Purple Haze Free Spins feature as the wild reels can really boost your winnings up to 400 times your stake per free spin. It’s a better game than Guns N’ Roses in my opinion but I recommend you also try KISS Shout It Out Loud by WMS.
