According to the philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche, “Without music, life would be a mistake.” Despite being one of the most controversial philosophers of all time, this is a quote many of us can get behind. You don’t need to play an instrument to share this passion, but this affirmation is particularly true for those who do.
For musicians, getting ready for music exams, concerts and recitals can be incredibly stressful. However, if you’d like to cool down from the pre-concert craze but wouldn’t like to get away from music entirely, the entertainment industry has got you covered.
Enter slot machines. There’s an incredible array of themes and gameplays available, including music. Pick a game according to this list and let music entertain you at a different level.
Phantom of the Opera
One of the most popular musicals in the repertoire is also a very entertaining game. The music is full of operatic overtones, as the name suggests, pleasing music lovers of various tastes.
This five-reel game, developed by Microgaming, offers no less than 243 ways to win and a top prize of 7,733 times your bet. The aesthetics are based on the movie adaptation from 2004, bringing its actors and special symbols to the reels.
Royal Masquerade
How about travelling a few centuries in the past and enjoying a Venetian masquerade of baroque times? Try Royal Masquerade, signed by Play’n GO. The symbols revolve around the classic Venetian masks and stylized symbols.
It has straightforward gameplay, with a 5×3 structure and ten paylines. The Hooked-Nose mask can grant a prize up to 1,000x your initial bet. There are also special prizes for jesters, musicians, kings and queens.
Elvis Lives
Here’s one for those who love classics of all times. The King of Rock is very well represented in this game released by WMS. It has a unique structure with four reels, 12 rows. The Elvis Reel is just one of its unique features; with a massive reel in the middle.
Play along with some of the top hits of the King, with 60 paylines and lots of symbols depicting famous accessories, like jackets, sunglasses and a Hawaiian collar. Prizes can go up to 2,000 times your wager.
Michael Jackson – King of Pop
Maybe you’d prefer the King of Pop instead of the King Rock. In this case, try Michael Jackson by Bally Technologies. Indeed, the game is so popular the developer even released a sequel: Michael Jackson II – Wanna Be Startin’ Somethin.
This game has a massive max payout of 40,000,000 times your wager. Enjoy hits like Billie Jean, Smooth Criminal and Beat It, while playing with his hats, glasses and album covers.
Jimi Hendrix
If you love a well-played guitar, you surely love Jimi Hendrix, and you will probably love this title by NetEnt as well. The action runs on a standard 5×3 grid, with 20 paylines. The special features are named after the greatest successes of the magician of the guitar, like Purple Haze, Crossroads and Little Wing. Here, you’ll find multipliers of up to 30 times and a top prize of 400 times your bet.
Guns ‘n’ Roses
NetEnt seems to love rock and roll as much as you. The gameplay is pretty similar to Jimi Hendrix slots, with 20 paylines available on a 5×3 grid. However, the maximum payout here is considerably bigger: 2,000x. Other than that, you’ll also get to play with band members, special symbols and a head-banging soundtrack.
Motorhead
Lemmy Kilmister was right: the pleasure is to play, and it makes no difference what you say. NetEnt is once again paying homage to the gods of rock and roll, with 76 paylines and a pretty irregular grid.
From left to right, it has two reels with three rows, two reels with four rows and a final reel with five rows. It mixes band symbols, like Lemmy himself, with classic slots symbols, such as cherries, clover and bells. The jackpot is 150x your bet.
