Black Mamba

Black Mamba Slot

Black Mamba is a 5×5 grid slot with cascading reels released by Play’n GO in 2019. It’s part of the developer’s music series and is dedicated to the Italian hard rock band of the same name. The slot packs plenty of bonuses, with each band member having their solo feature to help you nab more wins. Black Mamba is a highly volatile slot, with an RTP of 94.5% and a top win worth 5,000x total stake.

How to Play

Tickets at the door, with bets starting at just $0.2 and reaching $100. There are no paylines, so just press the button with your selected stake value, enable Autoplay if that’s your preferred mode, and hit spin.

The high-value symbols are the Black Mamba members: Martina, Fred, Cecilia, and Alexandra. Martina and the band’s logo are wilds that replace all symbols. Drumsticks, a guitar pick, headphones, and microphones are the symbols with low-value payouts.

Winning combination

To create a winning combination, you just need to land three or more matching symbols in a row, horizontally or vertically. The symbols from the winning cluster are removed and new ones are dropped on the reels. Each consecutive win increases the multiplier by 1.

If three band symbols form a winning cluster, the middle one transforms into a Martina wild to help create new winning clusters with the remaining symbols. If the cluster is formed by other symbols, the middle one turns into a logo wild.

As with the other grid slots from Play’n GO, there is a charge meter that is filled by every symbol of a band member in a winning cluster during a single spin.

Solo Features

The four band members have a solo feature that they perform randomly on non-winning spins, during the free spins, and during the Concert feature.

• Fred’s solo – Transforms a set of symbols (at random) into another set of symbols that are already on the grid.
• Cecilia’s solo – Replaces one or two symbols on the grid with wilds.
• Alexandra’s solo – Removes two sets of symbols from the grid, starting with low-value symbols.
• Martina’s solo – Clears the bottom row of all symbols except wilds and transforms any high-paying symbols into a 2x wild. Martina’s solo is will be performed during the Concert feature and during the free spins round.

Concert Feature

Once the charge meter is full, it will trigger the Concert feature. It awards one spin, and the band members will take turns to perform their solos when no more wins occur after new symbols have been dropped.

Free Spins

The Black Mamba free spins feature is activated when the whole grid is cleared. During the feature, the band members will perform their solos on every non-winning spin and Martina will perform on every free spin. There is also a win multiplier that is reset between spins to the multiplier value from the triggering spin.

The free spins can be re-triggered by charging up the meter. Four – five and six symbols charging will add two or four more spins, respectively. The Concert feature can also be activated during the free spins round and clearing the grid will bring an instant cash prize of 50x total stake.

Verdict

Black Mamba is a well-balanced braned slot that pays frequently despite its high volatility. Visually, it looks great and offers a lot of features. Multipliers and free spins are only two of its special features and there’s a lot more action once the band hits the stage, so get ready to headbang to some awesome music and hefty payouts.
