NetEnt Announces Narcos Slot Machine
NetEnt has recently made a surprising announcement regarding their new slot machine that left the public shocked. Inspired by the popular TV show Narcos, the game is a result of extensive licensing processes necessary to create a game based on such a major show.
Narcos has been a fan-favorite with three successful seasons, accumulating millions of views for each episode. The show ended on a high note, with the last two episodes scoring above 9 on IMDB.
The game pays tribute to its source material, featuring the main characters and a Colombian city road in the background. Although the game appears simple at first glance, players will appreciate the effort put into its development, namely the stunning 3D animations and cinematic elements.
Simple to Play with a Great Story
NetEnt has kept it simple with the structure and paylines, sticking to the traditional 5×3 formation and introducing 243 unique paylines, resulting in a satisfactory RTP of 96.23%. The game packs a punch with features such as a Drive-By Feature, Walking Wilds, Locked Up Feature, and free spins.
Symbols and Features
The symbols in the game include characters from the TV show, along with police badges, mafia cars, cop cars, and guns. One unique feature in the game is the Drive-By Feature triggered randomly after each regular spin. A group of gangsters drives up next to the reels and fires bullets, turning high-value symbols into wilds, improving players’ chances of creating winning combinations.
Another fantastic feature is the Walking Wilds, which resembles regular wilds but lasts longer and moves across the reels. Once it lands, it pays out all winnings, and before the next spin, it moves one reel to the left, stopping along with other symbols.
Players can trigger the Locked Up Feature by landing three or more locked symbols in the same row, unlocking different bonus features and coin prizes. Free spins are also available in the game, which requires players to land three or more free spins symbols anywhere on the screen to receive ten free spins. Using Free spins activates a shootout between mafia members and police, which triggers the Drive-By Feature.
NetEnt has created a well-made game, easy to play, with a great story. This game is a must-play for all Narcos fans who want to experience a walk down memory lane.
