Spinal Tap Review

Spinal Tap slot is based upon the 1984 cult movie, This Is Spinal Tap, and it comes jam packed with all sorts of bonus games, reel modifiers and free spins features. The base game has a 5x3 reel setup and 243 paylines, but in most of the bonus features you’ll benefit from 2 extra reels and 2,187 ways to win. This is a medium to high variance game, and you can win up to £250,000.

Spinal Tap RTP, variance & technical data

The RTP on Spinal Tap is 96.92% in the base game (which is well above industry average), and it will increase to 97.02% if you take advantage of the VIP Guest Pass bonus feature. The volatility is medium to high, so it’s good to take some precautions when you decide on bet level and bankroll.

Spinal Tap slot is based upon the movie This Is Spinal Tap from 1984, which is a fictional and hilarious rockumentary about a British Metal band on tour in the US. There is no denying the cult status of the movie, and we think Blueprint’s video slot version has the same potential for cult status.

The music is great and the slot is jam packed with tons of different bonus games and 3 different free spins features. The reels will increase to 7 in many of the features, and you’ll play with 2,187 ways to win. Any fan of the movie will love this game, and many newcomers will probably be inspired to watch the movie.

Spinal Tap bonus features

The spin button on Spinal Tap is modelled as a volume dial, and it can be cranked up to max volume randomly on any spin. When you reach the max volume 11, you’ll trigger Rock Mode. The setup increases into “widescreen” mode as 2 extra reels are added, and you’re now playing with 2,187 paylines. A large vinyl record player covers the left of the screen, and functions like a wheel of fortune offering you 1 of the following reel modifiers:

• Heavy Duty Wilds – turn whole reels wild with possibility for multipliers
• Wild Sparks feature – a selected set of symbols turns into wilds
• Rock ‘n’ Roll Spins – “eternal” re-spins as long as you keep winning
• Bonus Odyssey – bonus symbols are added to the reels

You always have the option of buying the VIP Guest pass for 50x your stake, and this will give you immediate access to Rock Mode. When you land at least 3 bonus symbols you’ll trigger the Bonus Picker feature. If you land at least 4 bonus symbols, only the best options will remain. You can also gamble if you want another feature, and there are 7 features in total (3 of them are free spins features):

• Double Platinum – wheel of fortune where you can win multipliers or other bonus features from the list below
• Don’t Fret It Bonus feature – click and pick round with cash prizes

SlotCatalog verdict

The online slot version of Spinal Tap is everything a fan could wish for. It’s rock ‘n’ roll from A to Z, and you better crank up the volume if you want to immerse yourself fully in this experience. There is so many bonus features that it can be hard to keep track, and the potential is rock solid also. Nothing much to complain about here, but watch out for whiplash when you enter into Rock Mode!
