Game Overview

Heads up NetEnt – Your days of being the number one provider of rock-themed online slots could be about to come to a crashing halt. Thunderkick’s new “Gods of Rock” online slot uses the increasingly popular 6×4 layout with an unusual 466 pay ways. Why not the full 4,096 possible? To win in this game, you will need to line your symbols up in a specific and unique order. More on this later! The RTP is typical of Thunderkick games at 96.05%, and you should also be aware that the variance is so high on this game that a win cap has been included – should you reach 20,000x your stake in any way, your current game will end.

On to the features and mods of the Gods of Rock slot game, the game incorporates rolling reels/cascading symbols, allowing you to win multiple times on a single spin. A charged wild symbol increases reel multipliers each time they land, although these are reset from one paid spin to the next. The charged wild will also trigger explosions before turning into a regular wild, dramatically increasing your chances of hitting another win from your spin. The bonus round is triggered by cascading many charged wilds, and you will need a total of 55 exploding symbols before it activates.

It’s a unique slot engine with plenty of quirks, and you seriously need to play it for yourself to get a feel for how it works. Luckily, we’ve got your back – the free demo slot of Gods of Rock is available below in our article.

Gods Of Rock Slot Theme, Stakes, Pays & Symbols

Rock’n’Roll slots as a theme are quite a new category – there have been a few notable releases over the past few years, however. NetEnt created Motorhead, Guns’N’Roses, and Jimi Hendrix slots all in quick succession, with Guns’n’Roses being the marquee title of the three. Thunderkick’s Gods of Rock video slot doesn’t come with a big name license, but the imagery of a huge concert and the enjoyable guitar-based background music adds some serious Rock’n’Roll flavour to the game.

The reel paytable sits on the seventh page of instructional information that the game provides, ensuring that you won’t forget this game isn’t just a regular online slot. The top symbol is the devil – I guess Thunderkick believes he is the ultimate god of Rock? A question for another day, I think, but he pays 5x your bet for a full line of six-of-a-kind. The other picture symbols are not so generous – 2.5x, 1.8x, 1.6x, and 1.4x. These numbers all seem very low, but as with all pay ways games, wins can stack up real fast once you start accumulating wins on many ways simultaneously.

A breakdown of the betting ranges is almost unnecessary on Thunderkick slots – as usual, you can bet as low as €0.10 or as high as €100.00 per spin if the casino has enabled the full range of possible bets. I don’t recommend playing any slot at €100.00 per spin no matter how rich you are, but this is the type of game where a few spins at much higher than your usual bet size can be justified at times. If you have a nice balance, a few €20.00 per spins just for the fun of It each time you play will eventually ensure you hit a bonus at this kind of level – and from there, the sky is simply the limit.

Base Game & Modifiers

Let’s talk some more about that strange play area and the pay ways and modifiers that make up the Gods of Rock online slot. First of all, it’s a 6×4 layout, which usually means 4,096 pay ways. Thunderkick have mixed things up by using only “connecting pay ways”, in this game. The way this works is that matching symbols must appear on subsequent reels horizontally, however, all symbols must also be adjacent to one another either horizontally or diagonally.

Charged Wild Feature

The charged wild symbol substitutes for all other symbols, just like the regular wild. The difference is, each time one lands it will increase the multiplier shown at the bottom of the reel on which it lands. After this, the charged wild will explode, destroying all of the useless symbols located around it before dropping to the bottom of the reel. Each reel can reach a maximum multiplier of 11x, and subsequent wins are multiplied by the final power reached by combining all reel multipliers.

For example, if you have multipliers of 2, 3, 2, 4, 2, 2 at the bottom of the reels, your win will be multiplied by 2x3x2x4x2x2 = 192x. Those small numbers on the paytable no longer seem so disappointing, do they?

Wild Encore Feature

When charged wilds explode, the number of symbols that are destroyed are counted on the bonus meters sitting on either side of the reels. If you make it to 30 symbols, the Wild Encore feature will activate and automatically add another 1-3 charged wilds to the reels, ensuring that your combination will continue growing.

Unfortunately, if you end up with a set of reels containing no more winning combinations, the bonus meters will be reset along with the multipliers at the bottom of the screen.

Gods Of Rock Slot Bonus Features

There are no scatter symbols in Thunderkick’s Gods of Rock slot, so where do the free spins come from? Once you hit the Wild Encore feature described above, cross your fingers and pray that the combinations keep coming. If you can get the meter from 30 up to 55 exploded symbols, then the free spins feature will be yours. In my experience, this happened quite often after I managed to get the wild encore feature – when it adds three more charged wilds to the screen, this alone can add up to 24 more exploded symbols to your meter.

Gods Of Rock Free Spins Feature

Once you hit the 55 necessary exploding symbols, the Gods of Rock Free Spins will kick any. The reel multipliers you have accumulated on your way here will remain in place for the duration of the bonus round – if you have got some crazy multipliers in place, you are now going to have them for a minimum of eight more spins. Suddenly, I can see why the 20,000x cap was placed on this game – it wouldn’t be that difficult to just get a single reel with a 7x multiplier, two more with 4x, and 2x on the remaining three, making an outrageous total of 896x your win per spin.

Furthermore, exploding symbols will keep on being added to the bonus meters during your free spins, and this time the meters don’t reset between each spin either. It’s possible to trigger the Wild Encore during free spins, fill the meter as if your life depends on it a second time, and you can even win yourself another three free spins as a result!

Gods Of Rock Slot Review Final Thoughts

The potential of the feature in this game is truly monstrous – my only complaint is that they could have set the maximum win cap much more generously. Other games that employ this method of artificially limiting wins will usually set it at something much higher than 20,000x.

Several games use a 50,000x cap, whilst NetEnt’s Dead or Alive 2 will only kick you out of the free spins round if you hit a crazy 111,111x your stake! Still, as far as fun is concerned then Gods of Rock is a definite winner – I enjoyed every minute of testing this game and would certainly recommend it to demoslot.com readers.
