Testament

If you enjoy serene, peaceful slots which are gentle and melodic, you might want to give Testament a swerve. The online slot machine from Play'n GO takes no prisoners as it pays homage to one of the most hardcore metal bands from the last few decades. Testament is loud, uncompromising and in your face - but as part of the deal, you could collect a cash prize of up to x20,000, so even if it's not your usual style, it might be worth learning to give them a little love. 

There are many slots around that are dedicated to bands which is a real treat for their fans. The games typically include snippets of well-known songs, and Testament is no exception. From Megadeath to Kiss, Jimi Hendrix and Motorhead, every decent rock and metal band has been featured in a slot. There are regular blasts of the Testament songs, so if you're really not a metal fan, you might prefer to play the game on mute! 

The game board is set up as a 5x3 configuration which includes a maximum of 2400 ways to win. It starts out as 243 ways to win but can increase as the board expands with special features. Ways to win means you can forget about traditional paylines as you only need to line up the symbols on neighbouring reels from left to right. The min bet starts low at 0.10 and rises to the max bet of 100.00, a fairly standard range that accommodates both low and high rollers alike. 

There's no mistaking the theme of this game, as the artwork from the band is all over the graphics. If you're new to Testament, you might be in for quite a shock because although the visuals are beautifully detailed, they veer into the realm of fantasy horror. While some rock and metal bands are reasonably tame, that's not the case with Testament. Loud, proud and controversial, you'll need nerves of steel to face what awaits… 

The basic pays are the playing cards but delivered with a Gothic-style font. The premium symbols include a horned skull, a werewolf, a vampire and a terrifying creature on a throne. It's enough to send a chill down the spine, but the top prize of x12.5 for lining up five skulls will soften the blow somewhat.  

Wilds are also included in this game, with the skull transforming into a wild if you are lucky. 

This game really does pay tribute to the band's achievements, and all of the bonus features relate to their music.  

The scatter is the album cover from Dark Roots of Earth, and you only need to land two to trigger the first extra, the Song feature.  

This gives you three spins, but the music that plays will determine the reward, with two of the modifiers providing extras when a wildlands. Dark Roots of Earth turns more symbols on the reel wild, and Cold Embrace turns the wilds sticky for the rest of the free spins. The Throne of Thorns feature expands the reels to 4-5-6-5-4, a move which also increases the ways to win to 2400. 

If you manage to land three scatters, you'll unlock the Rise Up Free Spins bonus. This will give you nine free spins and expanded reels, although at the start, the extra reels will be blocked. Land more scatters to remove the blockers and increase the reels and ways to win. If you remove all the blockers, you'll qualify for the enhanced bonus, which adds three further free spins and activates the Song Feature - with all three modifiers - for the rest of the round.  

Testament is an online slot that will delight metal and rock fans or anyone who enjoys online slots that are loud and a little bit aggro. With tons of features and an enticing top prize of x20,000, you don't need to be an existing fan of the band to go wild for this game.
