Edward How To Play It
A list of bet values is displayed at the bottom, and it will have wagers ranging from $0.20 to $100.
Regardless of the wager you select, the game area will feature the same 5×4 reels and 1024 ways to win. With a ways to win based slot, you need matching symbols landing on adjacent reels, left to right, but they don’t have to be in particular positions (all possible lines are active).
Special Features
Two types of wilds are present in the game, but they will never be on the screen at the same time. Each round, only one of the two types of wilds may appear. They share the same prize, paying up to 7.5x the stake for each combination they form on their own. Mostly, they will be used as substitutes for other symbols though.
Legs Wilds are the type that expand, and they take over their entire reel when they show up.
Gimme Wilds will apply multipliers of up to 3x for paid spins, and up to 5x for their own free spins.
The way into the free spins is with some help from the ZZ keychain, a scatter that needs to land 3+ times.
- Legs Free Spins: Legs Wilds turn into Expanded Walking Wilds.
- Gimme Free Spins: up to 5x wild multipliers are applied to wins, and these wilds are guaranteed for each spin.
Maximum Payouts
Like a lot of other excellent slot machines that we’ve seen Play n GO release over the years, this one can also pay extremely well. ZZ Top Roadside Riches actually goes one step further than most of the others, as it’s going to pay as much as 40,000x the stake in a single spin. Looking at the wild multipliers (making 25x wins a possibility when combined with top symbols), the 1024 ways to win, and the free spins, I have no trouble believing that it’s possible.
It might be possible, but it’s also going to be very difficult to get that much from the game. It’s a highly volatile slot.
RTP can vary quite a bit, from as little as 84.20%, to as much as 96.20%. It’s a range, so it’s a very good idea to check with the operator and find out which setting they’re using.
Summary
ZZ Top Roadside Riches is not bad at all, particularly for a branded slot machine, where expectations are higher. It’s not designed for all fans, it’s just too volatile for it to be a game you play just for fun, but it’s great for experienced players.
