Advantages
- Legendary soundtrack and electrifying design
- Exciting Mystery Reels feature
- Keeps the balance quite well
- Very high returns by default
Disadvantages
- No Multipliers or Jackpots
- Low max outlook even for this variance
The first two slots in the trilogy had a standard 5×3 layout, but for the Motorhead machine, NetEnt decided to change the format completely.
As a result, the 3/3/4/4/5 playing field is slightly unusual (although familiar from the famous Dazzle Me slot), but the gameplay, sound effects, and features are also unique and engaging.
That’s what makes this an extraordinary slot, and if you’re into rock and like to live on the edge as Lemmy did, this slot is a must for you!
Motorhead video slot is built with Low Volatility and an RTP of 96.98%. Perhaps the single spin maximum outlook of 570x the total bet is not something to brag about but corresponds finely with the slot variance.

Personal testers’ opinion about Motorhead slot
- According to us, disclosing the symbols on one of the reels at the end of a spin is mostly annoying. 90 out of 100 times, it’s exactly not the one you were waiting for! On the other hand, it does keep you on your toes every single spin, and when you finally land a great combination, after the ’disclosure,’ it does (almost) compensate for all the teasing. You feel like you’re attending a rock concert while you keep on spinning those reels. We did turn off the music after a while because there’s not too much variety, and we’re not the biggest heavy metal lovers. Overall, the Motörhead slot kept the balance well for a long time, mainly because of hitting the Bomber feature a few times, which resulted in wins of 25x-50x total bets.
Review and recommendations by the testing team
- The graphics and sound quality are great, as expected from NetEnt’s studio. The four chosen Motörhead hits can easily be turned off when you’ve had your fill. The field is identical to the Dazzle me slot, but the gameplay is completely different. In the main game, combinations give small payouts, especially when they are without Mystery symbols, which is not sufficient to keep the balance. Meanwhile, each spin contains 1 to 4 Mystery reel features, which randomly turn into stacked symbols, resulting in winnings of 20x-80x total bets. It doesn’t occur often, but when it does, it compensates for the loss you suffered by getting only occasional small wins.
- The excellent Bomber feature is randomly activated before the reels stop spinning. Each bomber consists of a collection of mysterious symbols, which will create 10 or more overlay Mystery symbols. The reels will start spinning with one symbol being chosen, just like in the Mystery reel feature. On average, it’s launched once every 150-200 spins, with medium wins of around 40x-60x total bets. However, we did get exceptional 100x total bets once with this feature.
- 3 Scatters will reward you with the Free Spins bonus round. They are usually triggered in a series of 2-3 rounds and with a relatively high frequency. During the Free Spins, both Mystery symbols and Wild symbols are on the Mystery reels, which results in wins of 20x-30x total bets on average and often reach up to 60x-120x total bets.

How to win at the Motörhead slot machine? (Conclusion)
- Systematically, we give our regular advice to test all slot machines in DEMO mode before gambling with real money.
- Playing the Motörhead slot machine, we recommend starting with a big bet balance and paying attention to the game’s mood during the first 50 spins. After a negatively resulting spin, try modifying with a different coin value (denomination). We are convinced that this will start a new cycle or at least change the slot behaviour. The Free Spins often appear in series, so don’t rush to change the slot when you hit the first bonus. Spin the reels another 40-80 times, and if you still haven’t triggered another bonus, then it might be time to move on. The biggest payout potential is during the Bomber feature, but this slot can also pay well during regular spins.
- Unless you’re a big Motörhead fan, we give solid neutral recommendations for playing with bonus money and with real money as well.
