ZZ Top Roadside Riches

ZZ Top Roadside Riches Overview

Join the classic American Rock band ZZ Top on their worldwide tour in this new slot from top designers Play' n GO. ZZ Top, for those who have no previous knowledge, are an iconic rock group originally from Houston, Texas. The band gained worldwide acclaim in the 70s' with hits like "La Grange" and "Tush". Apart from being rockers, the band is also known for their love of motorbikes, classic American muscle cars, and trademark beards hanging over their chests. The band continue to play gigs to this day.

Regarding the bonus content of this game, ZZ Top Roadside Riches has a pretty decent selection. The first bonus for this game is the Legs wild feature triggered whenever one of the special Legs wilds lands. This icon expands to fill the entire reel it falls on to help trigger more wins. The second feature is the Gimme Wild bonus, activated when one of these symbols drops onto the reels. This icon comes with an attached multiplier and helps boost the value of wins. Finally, this game also has a great free spin game. All features will be explained in greater detail later in the review.

Theme and Symbols

If you hadn't guessed by now, the theme for this game is the iconic rock band ZZ Top and their travelling act across the wide-open spaces of the USA. This game is inspired by the band themselves and the aesthetic that they have cultivated over their long career. This means classic pick-up trucks and hot rods, leather jackets, thick sunglasses and a southern biker style. ZZ Top are probably one of the most instantly recognisable rock groups of all time, and Play n' GO have made the most of their look in this exciting slot game.

The background for this slot resembles the set for ZZ Top's most famous music video for their track "Gimme All Your Lovin'". In the video, a red hot rod driven by some foxy ladies pulls up to a roadside garage somewhere in Texas. The iconic 33 Eliminator Coupe, built for guitarist Billy Gibbons, with the ZZ Top logo on it, can be seen sitting in the shade just to the left of the playing board. The rest of the background has been created to replicate that video's amazing style, from the neon signs to the long stretch of tarmac in the centre of the screen.

The board has been designed to resemble the old-school instruments of the hot rod portrayed in the famous video. The bet selector is even in the style of one of the classic radio tuners.

The symbols for this slot online are comprised of low-value, high value and special symbols. The low-value symbols in this game are the card suit symbols – clubs, spades, hearts and diamonds. On the other hand, the higher paying symbols, as is often the case, are made up of the picture symbols. There is the cattle skull, the sunglasses, and then the three members of the legendary band: Billy Gibbons, Dan Beard, and Dusty Hill for this game. The band member symbols are a little special in that they spin in stacks of 2, and each has a value of 5x the stake for the top combination. The specials for this game include the two different types of wilds- the Legs and the Gimme wilds. Finally, there is also a ZZ Top logo icon which is the free spins symbol.

Features

The first feature in this game is the Legs Wild. You'll know exactly what a Legs wild is when it lands. When it does, it expands to fill the entire reel on which it falls, helping players score more wins.
The second feature is the Gimme Wild feature. This feature is activated when a Gimme Wild falls onto the reels. When it does, it comes with an attached multiplier which can either double or triple the win amount when part of a successful combination. Unfortunately, Legs and Gimme wilds cannot fall on the same spin.

The free spins round, however, is the bonus that you want. It is triggered by landing 3 or more ZZ top logo scatters on the board simultaneously. The number of free spins awarded to you depends on the number of scatters you landed to trigger the feature. The more scatters, the more spins.

The game then gives you a choice of two different free spins rounds. The first is the Legs free spins round. In this bonus, any expanding Legs wilds landed turn into walking wilds (appropriate for legs). The wild will move one position to the left with every spin until it falls off the board.

The other round is the Gimme Free spins feature. This option increases the value of the multiplier wilds in comparison to the base game. So instead of just 2x and 3x multipliers, there are also 4x and 5x Gimme Wilds available.

Conclusion

If you are a fan of these bearded rock gods, then this slot is a definite for you and will hopefully bring together all that you love about their music and style with the exciting dynamics of an online slot game. One of the highlights here regarding game stats is the amazing top payout potential of 40,000x your stake. The downside to this slot is its incredibly high volatility, which should definitely be taken into account before players agree to play this game for money.
