There are no prizes for guessing the theme for this slot online game. Of course, it's based on the incredibly popular heavy metal band, with various references being made to the group in this slot. The setting for the Motley Crue game is outside of a nightclub, we would assume a location that the band is playing at. Outside there are four motorbikes, with different illuminated lights also featured in the background. This slot is played across 5 reels and features 20 different paylines, with the minimum stake size sitting at 0.20 per round.
Motley Crue is the creation of Play'n Go, who is known for focusing on some unique parts of history when producing slots. This is evident when looking at some of their most popular releases, which include top titles such as Ring Of Odin, The Sword And The Grail, and Dawn Of Egypt. Of course, they have also created some entirely unique concepts in the form of games like Canine Carnage.
The regular J, Q, K, and A symbols can be found in Motley Crue as the least desirable symbols. Next are different members of the band, all of which are represented with their own colour. In order of desirability, there is a blue, green, purple, and red band member, which can award players with 15x, 15x, 20x, or 25x their stake size if 5 form a matching combination.
Motley Crue contains three different special symbols, too. First is the wild symbol, which can replace any other symbol, apart from special icons, to form a combination. Next is the multiplier symbol, shown as a pair of lips, and the scatter symbol, which is the Motley Crue logo. These icons correspond to different bonus modes, with both being covered below!
To start the bonus section of this review, let's touch on the three different base game modifiers in Motley Crue. First up is 'Wild Side', which can trigger randomly during a spin in which no matching combination is formed. If this starts, a barrier will become active on reel 5, moving to the left after each spin. This will fill reels to the right of the barrier with wilds, with respins occurring until a combination is created.
Next is 'Live Wire', which can add a maximum of 5 wilds to the board during a random spin. A maximum of one wild can be added per reel. The last modifier is called 'Girls Girls Girls', which can be activated if a multiplier symbol appears on any of the three middle reels. Should this occur, the value will be collected and applied to the bet size, before any potential winnings are then awarded to the player.
The main bonus in Motley Crue can be triggered if scatter symbols appear on reels 1, 3, and 5 simultaneously. This will award players with 6, 7, 8, 9, or 10 free spins, at random, with all of the aforementioned modifiers in play. During this mode, all spins that occur without a matching combination will trigger the 'Wild Side' feature, too. Another mechanic called 'Kickstart My Heart' can also activate in this mode, at the same time as the 'Wild Side' spins are in progress. A multiplier of 2x, 3x, 5x, or 10x will be added to the board. It's worth mentioning that no other modifiers can trigger when 'Wild Side' spins are in progress.
In conclusion, this slot could be worth a play for anyone that is a fan of the prominent Motley Crue band. There are many homages to the group in this slot, including in the symbols and various bonus modes, which are named after some of their most popular songs!
