Black Mamba Review

Black Mamba Reviewed by Casinogamesonnet.com

Black Mamba is a five-reel slot that plays out on a 5x5 grid. Produced by Play’n GO, this game is based on a little-known rock band named Black Mamba. A search for the Italian band only turns up their website and a Facebook page.

Name recognition alone won’t help this slot get by. However, it does have some other qualities that might interest you.

Gameplay and Atmosphere

This game takes place inside of a rock club. The background features muted colors, posters, stars, and concertgoers. It also offers a mini stage on the right-hand side that showcases members of the band (one at a time).

Martina Cori, Alexandra Maiolo, Fred Maragoni, and Cecelia Nappo — the band’s four members — are all featured as symbols. Other icons include cymbals, drums, headphones, a guitar pick, microphone, and a game logo.

The game logo and Martina both serve as wild symbols. Martina offers the additional benefit of multiplying any payout that she helps form 2x. She also delivers the largest regular prize at 50x your stake. The biggest overall payout is worth 5,000x your bet.

Prizes are formed in clusters. You need to get three or more matching symbols in a horizontal or vertical cluster to win. Icons from winning combinations disappear and allow symbols from above to take their places (a.k.a. cascading reels). Each successive payout increases your win multiplier 1x.

Betting options range from €0.20 to €100. The Black Mamba RTP can either be 94.50% or 96.50%. You’d better hope for the latter, because the first RTP figure is really bad.

Black Mamba Slot Special Features

Most of the bonuses in this game center on random features involving each band member. The selected musician shown on the mini stage determines the current bonus.

Here are the features for each band member:

Alexandra – Removes two sets of symbols from the reels.

Cecelia – Offers one or two random wilds.

Fred – Transforms one set of symbols into a higher-paying set of icons.

Martina – Removes the bottom row of symbols (minus wilds) and replaces other band members with herself. This bonus is only available during free spins or the “concert” (discussed next).

You’ll see an empty black space to the left of the reels. This space is a meter that can be charged with by getting wins with band members included.

The meter features six sections in total and is filled by band members who appear in wins. You trigger the concert by filling at least four sections. The concert sees each band member play and offer their respective feature. Assuming you fill six sections of the meter, then you’ll also receive a win multiplier.

You can trigger free spins by clearing the entire grid. Martina plays and offers her feature throughout the entirety of free games. Other band members will play if you suffer a losing free spin.

This bonus comes with a win multiplier that resets after rounds. Also, the concert feature can be triggered during free spins.

Final Thoughts on Black Mamba Slot

Black Mamba may not be the most-recognizable international band. However, the slot that’s based on them certainly offers some good reasons to play.

It’s loaded with features, including multipliers, random bonuses, free spins, and a concert. Play’n GO did a really nice job of incorporating the features into the rock theme.

The biggest downside is that the RTP could potentially only be 94.5%. This payback is really low in comparison to other games. But as long as you find the version with 96.5% RTP, then Black Mamba slot is worth trying.
