Black Mamba is the fourth in a series of rock band themed slots developed by Play'n GO - the other ๐ธ ones being House of Doom, Sabaton, and Demon. As was kindly pointed out in the comment section of the Demon ๐ธ review by rock artist Marielle Tengstrรถm, much of our criticism that time around stemmed from ignorance of the classic rock ๐ธ scene. Safe to say, we learned a lot from her input and made a promise to ourselves to do better ๐ธ research going forward.
If Demon was a niche slot, Black Mamba is even more so. Not in terms of gameplay, it's ๐ธ a rather typical Play'n GO grid slot offering as you will see, but in terms of the theme. So, who ๐ธ are Black Mamba then? Well, turning to Wikipedia didn't make us much wiser. All that came up was an article ๐ธ about a Ugandan anti-terrorist organisation going by the same name - great guys we're sure, but not what we were ๐ธ looking for. Going by their Spotify bio, Black Mamba is an Italian four-piece hard rock band made up of vocalist ๐ธ Martina Cori, bassist Cecilia Nappo, guitarist Alexandra Maiolo, and drummer Fred Maragoni. Being a relatively small and unknown band, it ๐ธ comes off as a bit of a strange choice for a branded slot. At the same time, it gives us ๐ธ a chance to discover new music while also helping struggling bands with some publicity.
On the production side of things, you ๐ธ can expect loud music, lots of moving parts and blinking lights vying for your attention. A rock club serves as ๐ธ the setting for the game with the actual reels being positioned on a stage. Instead of Greek gods, as is ๐ธ the case in Rise of Olympus, you'll see one of the band members standing next to the reels to indicate ๐ธ the active feature. When it comes to symbols, the lower value ones are represented by various music-related items such as ๐ธ microphones, headphones, guitar picks, and drumsticks with cymbals. More rewarding are the band members - Alexandra, Cecilia, Fred of which ๐ธ 5 in a cluster will give you 5 times your stake. Any combination of those three symbols will give you ๐ธ 3 times your stake.
There are also two wild symbols included in the game - a regular wild which comes in ๐ธ the form of the band logo, and a 2x wild which is represented by vocalist Martina Cori. Land a combination ๐ธ of 5 of her and you'll win 50 times your stake. Highly volatile, you can play the Black Mamba slot ๐ธ across all devices from 0.20 to โฌ/$100 per spin.
