Black Mamba Online Slot Review

About the band Black Mamba
Who are Black Mamba? Well, turning to Wikipedia didn’t make us much wiser. All that came up was an article about a species of snake from the Elapidae family – the extremely venomous black mamba (Dendroaspis polylepis) that inhabits various parts of sub-Saharan Africa, but that’s not what we were looking for.
Continuing with their Spotify bio, Black Mamba is an Italian hard rock band that has attracted a lot of international attention after they poured unadulterated scuzz on the airwaves with their debut album Heritage in 2017. With a new lineup, they have found the synergy needed to create the antidote to the sterility found in contemporary rock, and it comes in the form of their sophomore album Black Mamba II released in 2019.
With standout singles like Watch Me When I Fail, Natural Born Disaster and Warrior Pt.2, Black Mamba has infused their sound with a resonant attitude, accessible groove and hook-laden progressions. Cecilia Nappo brings the Funk in her Rickenbacker-carved bass lines that intertwine with Alexandra Maiolo’s deft guitar riffs. Fred Maragoni on drums completes the quartet.
With a sound infectious and polished enough to replace the previous perennial grooves Black Mamba has given the sound of 70’s and 80’s rock the renaissance it was waiting for. After wowing audiences at Sweden Rock Fest and touring Italy, Hungary, Germany and France, Black Mamba is already in demand for numerous major festivals.
Being a relatively small and unknown musical band, it turns out to be a bit of an odd choice for Play’n GO to create an online slot of their own. However, at the same time, it gives us the opportunity to discover new music while helping struggling rock bands with some publicity.
About Black Mamba Slot Game
Black Mamba is a high volatility slot created by developer Play’n Go and features 5 cascading reels and cluster paylines with an RTP of 96.50%. The game comes loaded with bonus features, where you can win multiple times and a generous 5,000x top prize. Band members Fred, Cecilia and Alexandra are part of the game symbols along with a guitar pick, drumsticks, headphones and a microphone.
The band logo and singer Martina are your wild symbols. If you get at least 3 symbols in a vertical or horizontal line, you will get a standard win. If you get 3 symbols of the band, the symbol in the middle of the combination will become a Martina wild, helping you to make new combinations with the remaining symbols on the grid. If you match 3 of any of the other symbols, the middle symbol will turn into the band logo wild.
There is also a multiplier in the game and, for each combo you create in a single cascade, the multiplier will increase by one, before resetting on the next spin. Each of the gang members has their own solo role that they will perform at certain times in the game to give you an advantage. Fred, Cecilia and Alexandra will perform their solo randomly on non-winning spins and also during Free Spins and the Concert feature (more on that later!), Martina’s Solo will be performed during the Concert feature and during Free Spins.
Each member’s solo works as follows:
- Fred’s Solo. Transforms a randomly selected symbol into another symbol found on the grid.
- Cecilia’s Solo. Replaces 1 to 2 symbols on the grid with wilds.
- Alexandra’s Solo. Destroys two types of symbols on the grid, starting with LPs and going up in value.
- Martina’s Solo. The bottom row is cleared of all symbols except Wilds and, if there are any HP symbols on the bottom row, one will become a x2 Wild. Martina’s Solo occurs at the end of the Concert feature.
If you fill the game’s charge meter with band symbols (each band member in a winning combination during a single spin will fill the meter), then you will trigger the amazing Concert feature! The Concert feature will spin again, and then each band member will have the opportunity to perform their solo in order when there are no more wins on the grid. First Alexandra will perform, then Cecilia, then Fred and finally Martina.
Removing the entire grid activates the free spins feature, and you will get eight free spins. The band member present on the screen when the free spins are triggered will perform their solo on each non-winning free spin. Martina’s Solo is activated after each free spin, either by itself or following the band member you take to the Free Spins. The win multiplier achieved on the triggering spin will be carried over to the Free Spins and used as the base for each spin instead of resetting to one.
Free spins can be reactivated by filling the charge meter on the screen with 4 to 6 charges, as in the case of Concert. Getting 4 to 5 charges grants two free spins and 6 charges grants four free spins. The Concert feature can also be activated during free spins. Free spins and multipliers are unlimited during free spins, and if you clear the grid, you will receive 50 times your bet, without being affected by the multiplier.
Conclusion
For newcomers, the game may seem overwhelming when presented in this way. Veteran players, meanwhile, would probably roll their eyes wondering what’s new. In fact, if you’ve played any other Play’n GO online slots, none of this will surprise you. The biggest difference, perhaps, is the use of the win multiplier, but other than that it’s similar to the Rise of Olympus slot, but with an Italian rock band theme.
So, is it worth playing? Of course it is. If you’re a fan of rocking online slots, you’ll probably also like Black Mamba. There are very few online gambling developers that can compete with Play’n GO in the grid slot segment, although most of these titles are fundamentally similar.
Mathematically, Black Mamba online video slot is as well balanced as its siblings, but at the same time, it is also very volatile. The maximum prize here is 5,000 times your bet and although the probability of that happening is less than 1 in 100 million spins. The relatively low maximum win makes for a more balanced game that also allows for more frequent payouts of x500 – x1000. Overall, Black Mamba is another great addition to the Play’n GO series of grid slots, or as the members of the Black Mamba gang would have said: Molto bene!
If you liked Black Mamba, we suggest you also try Testament and Sabaton from the same provider, both branded slots based on rock bands. You can try the demo version of Black Mamba online slot game for free on this same page or play it for real money at the best Play’n GO casinos.
