Jimi Hendrix Slot Review 2024

The Jimi Hendrix slot game was released in 2016. Off the bat, it may seem like a strange theme for a slots title, but software developer  NetEnt purposely did it. As part of a ‘NetEnt Rocks’ online slots games campaign, they put out the Jimi Hendrix game as the second instalment of the series after their Guns N’ Roses title.

The latter remains one of the most popular titles from NetEnt at online casinos. The game developer was launched in 1996, and their Jimi Hendrix title, done with official affiliations, has five reels, three rows and 20 pay lines. The great title is packed with the guitar legend’s biggest hits like Purple Haze and Foxey Lady. There’s a €0.20 to €200 stake range on the game.

The Jimi Hendrix online casino slot is a medium-volatility game with bonus features. The aim of the game, which is beautifully simple in its design, is to line up the combination of symbols as is the norm with online slots. 

The red guitar is the highest-value symbol, multiplying the total stake in combination. There are also wilds to help you push towards winning combos. Scatters, free spins, re-spins, and features like Purple Haze takes things up a notch.

There is a relatively low max win of x400 stake per spin on the title. But should the bonus features fall right, then that lower max can be offset somewhat. The Jimi Hendrix online slots game has a Return To Player rate of 96.9% and features some Pick And Click bonus play.

The psychedelic groove feel of the Jimi Hendrix online slots game from NetEnt is wrapped up in simple gameplay. Here's how to get your groove on from this flower power-themed game at online casinos.

Set The Level Of Play

The controls for your bets are nicely situated at the bottom of the slot game, which means they also stay on screen all the time. You click the button to the left or right of the value box to set your stake.

The coin value determines the stake - the level determines the number of coins played per line, of which there are 20.
 

Start The Game

As with many casino games, the play button is in the centre, a big circle to set the reels spinning. Clicking the Autoplay button instead will allow you to determine the number of spins you want the slot to run through. In the advanced settings, you can also set the conditions that will trigger the autoplay to stop.

Match Up The Symbols

The aim of the game is to get the 60s and 70s-inspired icons linked consecutively on at least one of the 20 pay lines that the game has. There are icons like hearts, flowers and, of course, a vinyl record.

Wilds

The great man himself, Jimi Hendrix, is the Wild Card. The portrait of him will substitute any other standard symbol (except the scatter) on a winning combo, paying out to the highest one in the line. 

Activate Bonuses

There are good bonuses available on the Jimi Hendrix online slot machine. Catching Hendrix playing the white guitar is the title’s scatter feature. Collecting three symbols on a spin will trigger one of the Pick And Click bonus online slot games. 

When the Pick And Click feature is triggered, speakers will drop onto the screen for you to select from. Each speaker will reveal a symbol through which you can earn free spin, multipliers and more. Full details of all the bonuses in this game can be found below. 

There are some very cool game symbols in the Jimi Hendrix online slots game, including icons of the man himself. However, because there are card symbols, it does hint that the developer may have run out of further 60s and 70s-themed symbol ideas.

2	2	2	-
3	20	20	15
4	100	100	85
5	400	400	200

3	10	10	9	8	7
4	70	60	50	40	35
5	150	100	100	90	80

3	5	5	5	5	5
4	30	30	25	25	20
5	75	70	60	50	50

A fair bit of bonus play can be raised in this popular online slot title, something that we like to see in slot games. Here is an overview of the prominent features to keep an eye out for.

The re-spin feature is automatically triggered if you get at least four red guitars on a spin. The red guitars stick where they initially landed while the rest of the reels re-spin, and the more red guitars, the better in terms of prize return. The red guitar feature can also be re-triggered if a new symbol lands on the reels during a re-spin. 

Get at least three scatter symbols (Hendrix playing a white guitar) and the Pick And Click game will be activated. The scatter symbols only appear on reels 3, 4 and 5. 

In the Pick And Click Jimi Hendrix slot games, one of four prizes can be claimed in a turn when the Hendrix speakers land on the screen. The prizes are themed around Jimi Hendrix songs. Click on the speakers and try to match 3 of the same symbol to get one of the following bonuses:

Coin Win: The symbol is a gold coin featuring Hendrix’s face. Earns a random multiplier reward between x8 and x30 of the initial bet.

Crosstown Traffic Free Spins: The symbol is a guitar on fire. 6 Free Spins are claimed, with Wild Reels popping up on reels as you play through the free spins.

Purple Haze Free Spins: The symbol is a guitar with a purple haze around it. Claim between 6 and 12 free spins from the feature.

Little Wing Free Spins: The symbol is a guitar with water. Between 6 and 12 Free spins are awarded, plus 3 to 5 Wilds can appear on each free spin.

Game developer NetEnt, as it does with many of its popular online slot games, excels with the design of the Jimi Hendrix title. It is beautiful and perfectly fits the theme of the late 60s and early 70s psychedelia. Think of a hippie vibe with teals, purples, reds and yellows, and you're there.

Everything is soft about the game. The symbols are slightly cartoonish in a chilled flower power kind of way that looks just right. The sound is out of this world as instead of just background noise, as you get with most online slots, you listen to snippets of Hendrix songs on repeat.

Hearing snippets of Voodoo Chile, Little Wing, Purple Haze and Crosstown Traffic on repeat can be a lot after a while. There is an option in the game to mute the music. Samples of Hendrix popping up congratulating your wins and bonus triggers is another fantastic aspect of the game sounds.

When you hit a win, you will also be greeted by an animated Hendrix cranking out a celebratory guitar solo. In our opinion, it is one of the most perfectly designed online slot games we have come across. 

Jimi Hendrix is a legend - therefore NetEnt had a lot to live up to in rolling this out to online casinos. It is perhaps apt that they had the experience of putting together the Guns N’ Roses title first, which is very similar to the Hendrix game and also a massive hit.

The graphics in the Jimi Hendrix slot are spectacular, and just small touches like his voice and blooming flowers adorning pay lines, the changing background theme for wins, and the Big Win screen where an image of Hendrix and his Fender Stratocaster playing across a shifting sky, adds up to a beautiful experience.

There is medium volatility, so the game ticks over nicely, and there have been some huge wins reported from the slots at more than €100,000 a pop. The max pay-per-spin isn't the biggest we’ve come across in casino games, but still, this title should appeal to many players.

It allows players to experience the guitar genius in a new way. The bonuses should also keep you coming back for more, as many free spin opportunities can be layered up. 

NetEnt’s Jimi Hendrix game is also perfectly optimised for play on mobile, making this one of the most popular online slot games we have experienced.
