ZZ Top Roadside Riches Review

Impressively enough, the ZZ Top trio is still playing together after all these years, and the band was first formed in Houston (Texas) all the way back in 1969. Billy Gibbons (vocals, guitar), Dusty Hill (vocals, bass) and drummer Frank Beard (the one without the beard) are true American rock legends, and Play’n Go’s ZZ Top Roadside Riches is a well-done tribute to these grandfathers of rock ‘n roll.

ZZ Top is probably the most famous band in the branded rock/metal series so far, something that’s reflected in the 40,000x potential, which is the highest to date. Play’n Go has kept it safe but solid in the feature department, and both the base game and the 2 bonus rounds come with wild features capable of doing serious damage. Fans will probably be all over this thing, while it will pass relatively unnoticed by people who only remember this band because of the 2 famous beards.

ZZ Top Roadside Riches Features

You’ll benefit from 2 different wild symbols in this game, namely the Legs Wilds and the Gimmie Wilds. These step in for all regular pay symbols, and they are also the highest value symbols in their own right. Landing 5 on a payline awards 7.5x your stake. The band member symbols land 2 positions in height, and Billy Gibbons, Dusty Hill and Frank Beard are worth 5x your stake for 5 of a kind.

The Legs Wilds (hard to miss due to the black stockings and red heels) will expand to cover the full reels whenever they land, if, and only if, this means that a winning combo is created.

The Gimmie Wilds on the other hand, land with x2 or x3 multipliers attached, and these will boost any winnings. Only one of the wild types can land on the same spin.

You need at least 3 scatters in view to trigger the Bonus Round, and scatters can land on any reel. 3 scatters award 8, 10 or 12 free spins, while 4 and 5 scatters award 8, 10, 12 or 15 spins or 8, 10, 12, 15 or 20 spins, respectively. You then get to choose between the Legs Free Spins and the Gimmie Free spins features:

• Legs Bonus Round - turn any Legs Wilds that land into fully expanded walking wilds, moving one step to the left per spin until they fall off the grid.
• Gimmie Bonus Round - comes with higher multiplier values on the Gimmie Wilds, from x2 up to x5. You can only land 1 Gimmie Wild per reel.

There is no way to retrigger either of the features, as scatters will not land during the bonus rounds.

The 200 Spins ZZ Top Roadside Riches Experience

This reviewer was never a big fan of ZZ Top, and we must admit that we’ve hardly listened to anything they have produced (at least not knowingly).

Still, we quite enjoyed the ride in our 200 spins test session, and we’ve whipped together a brief and edited highlights video for you, as usual. You can check it all out below by simply hitting the play button.

Review Summary

Naturally, Play’n Go understands that a game like this will mostly be a hit among fans of the band, so there is no need to go overboards with innovation in the features department. Their focus has been on capturing the freewheelin’ spirit of the legendary rock band, and provide fans with the best possible experience in the form of a highly capable video slot.

They’ve thus gone with tried and tested features that despite being nothing new, combine very well with the 1,024 win ways. Both wild features can dish out very solid base game payouts, and the 2 bonus rounds hold an impressive 40,000x potential (the highest max win in their rock/metal series so far). Fans will probably rejoice over this release, while those who could care less about the ‘grandpa rockers’ from Texas will hardly bat an eye.

Pros

• Expanding wilds in base game
• x2 and x3 wilds in the base game
• 2 wild-based bonus rounds
• Win up to 40,000x your stake

Cons

• Beware of customizable RTP ranges

If you love ZZ Top Roadside Riches you should also try:

Hammerfall - was the previous installment in Play’n Go’s ongoing metal/rock series, and it’s a branded effort built around the power metal band from Sweden. It runs on a cascading wins cluster pays engine, and you will cycle between 3 worlds with corresponding song modifiers. The max win is 30,000x your stake.

Testament - is another hard-hitting metal slot in Play’n Go’s series, and this time it’s all about the lesser known thrash metal band from California. You’ll benefit from 3 different song bonus rounds, as well as a Testament Spins round that combine all three.

This can lead to payouts up to 20,000x your stake.

Spinal Tap - is a branded effort from Blueprint, and it’s based around the cult movie from 1984 by the same name. You can look forward to a very feature rich affair, with plenty of modifiers and bonus rounds. The max win is a solid 10,000x your stake (capped at £250,000).
