KISS Reels of Rock Review

Kiss is undoubtedly one of the most recognizable and iconic rock bands to ever be inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame (that happened as late as 2014 by the way), not least due to the characteristic face painting and the shocking live performances. You get plenty of fire breathing, smoking hot guitar solos and visual fireworks in Play’n Go’s branded effort as well, and KISS Reels of Rock is as close as you can get to a real Kiss concert in the world of online slots.

The legendary band was formed all the way back in 1973, by Paul Stanley, Gene Simmons, Ace Frehley, and Peter Criss, and you get to see them in top form on the massive stage that frames the 2-3-4-4-3-2 reel set. Be sure to crank up the volume a few extra notches, and keep your sign of the horns hand ready, as this game will take you for a volatile, headbanging and explosive ride that should be highly enjoyable for both fans and fence-sitters.

KISS Reels of Rock Slot Features

The 4 premium band member symbols occupy 2 positions when they land fully in view, and they pay between 6 and 12 x your stake for 6 of a kind wins. The platinum record Wild steps in for all regular pay symbols to help complete winning combos, and it’s also the most valuable symbol in the game. Landing 6 wilds on a payline awards 15x your stake, and you get 2 random base game features in addition to 5 unique bonus round options.

The Lock and Load feature can trigger at any time in the base game, and it synchronizes 2 reels with the same symbols. The synced reel pairs can be reels 1 and 6, 2 and 4 or 3 and 4. The Drive Me Wild feature is also randomly triggered in the base game, and it awards a guaranteed x2 multiplier wild on reels 2, 3, 4 or 5.

All other wilds that land at the same time will also be upgraded with an x2 multiplier.

The Bonus Round is triggered when you land 3 scatters anywhere in view, and you get to choose between 5 feature options which corresponds to a concert tour location:

• Johannesburg - awards 20 normal spins (and 1 encore spin).
• Sydney - awards 16 normal spins (and 2 encore spins).
• London - awards 12 normal spins (and 3 encore spins).
• Rio de Janeiro - awards 8 normal spins (and 4 encore spins).
• Tokyo - awards 4 normal spins (and 5 encore spins).

KISS Reels of Rock Slot - Free Spins

Each bonus round spin comes with synced reels ala the Lock & Load feature, and you cannot land scatters until the final free spin. You need 3 scatters on the final spin to trigger the Encore part of the bonus round, and it plays out on an expanded 6x4 reel set with 4,096 win ways. All spins come with Lock & Load synced reels, and all wilds land with the x2 multiplier attached.

Review Summary

We’ll start by saying that KISS Reels of Rock is probably the most convincing rock concert slot we’ve ever seen, and that’s saying something when you consider how many Play’n Go alone has under their belt already.

Fans should be all over this thing like stink on a monkey, and you don’t even have to like the band all that much to enjoy the impressive visuals and the overall headbanging vibe. You’ll need a solid pair of speakers to get the most out of this game though, and mobile play is hardly the same.

The features are not revolutionary perhaps, and it’s a bit annoying when you don’t get the final free spin Encore trigger. Still, we would go for the Tokyo or Rio de Janeiro option each time if big wins is your highest priority, as Encore Spins is key to closing in on the 50,000x potential. This is the most generous win cap in Play’n Go’s rock series so far, but keep in mind that your max win chances are a slim 1 in 1 billion spins. Also, Play’n Go is not in the same league as, say, NoLimit City, when it comes to verified big wins and cracked potentials.

Pros

• Highly engaging Kiss concert experience
• 2 random base game features
• 5 FS options w/ possible Encore retrigger
• Win up to 50,000x your stake

Cons

• Beware of adjustable RTP ranges
• Max win probability is 1 in 1 billion

If you love KISS Reels of Rock Slot you should also try:

Guns N' Roses - is still the most popular rock slot ever released, and it will be interesting to see if Play’n Go’s branded Kiss effort can dethrone this NetEnt classic. The concert setting is similarly immersive in both games, but this one is far less of a heavy hitter. You get plenty of features though, and a soundtrack setlist where you can pick from 5 of the bands best songs.

Gods of Rock - is not a branded effort, but this hard-hitting Thunderkick release takes you to rock ‘n’ roll heaven, and ‘you know they’ve got one hell of a band’. Lucifer himself is the lead singer, and charged wilds increase reel multipliers before they explode adjacent symbols to fill the bonus meter.

This can lead to more of the same, and eventually the bonus round where payouts up to 20,000x can be landed.

ZZ Top Roadside Riches - is another branded installment in Play’n Go’s rock slot saga, and it plays out on a 5x4 reel set with 1,024 ways to win. The base game comes with expanded wilds and x2-x3 multiplier wilds, and you have 2 options when the bonus round is triggered. The 40,000x potential used to be the highest in the series, but it’s now been dethroned by the game at hand.
