Jimi Hendrix

About Jimi Hendrix

Jimi Hendrix is the second release in NetEnt's officially licensed music series, following Guns N' Roses. It arrived in April 2016 and pairs a five-reel, three-row grid with the guitarist's own recordings, including Purple Haze, Crosstown Traffic and Little Wing. The artwork leans on late-sixties poster design rather than photography, with flowers, hearts and peace symbols filling the lower half of the paytable.

Feature count is the unusual part. Where most NetEnt games of that era shipped with a single bonus round, this one has two base-game features and three separate Free Spins modes reached through a Pick and Click screen. Maximum win is 400x stake, which is modest, and the game is built around frequent small returns rather than a high ceiling.

How to Play Jimi Hendrix

Wins pay left to right across 20 fixed paylines, starting from reel one. Three or more matching symbols on adjacent reels along an active line will pay. Stakes at Midnite start from £0.20 per spin.

Two features can fire during any base-game spin. The Purple Haze feature turns a full stack of one symbol into wilds, and the Red Guitar Re-spin awards a respin when red guitars land on reel one. Landing three Pick and Click symbols on reels three, four and five opens the bonus screen, where you select speakers until you match three symbols. That match determines what you get: a coin win, or entry to one of the three Free Spins rounds.

Jimi Hendrix Features

• Purple Haze Feature: Randomly triggers on a non-winning spin, turning one low-value symbol stack into wilds and evaluating the spin again.
• Red Guitar Re-spin: Red guitar symbols landing on reel one lock in place and award a respin, which repeats while more red guitars land.
• Pick and Click Bonus: Triggered by three Pick and Click symbols on reels 3, 4 and 5. Matching three of the same symbol awards either a coin win or one of the Free Spins modes below.
• Crosstown Traffic Free Spins: Awards free spins with wild reels that shift position after each spin.
• Purple Haze Free Spins: Awards free spins with the Purple Haze wild transformation active throughout.
• Little Wing Free Spins: Awards free spins with additional wilds added to the middle reels.

Jimi Hendrix Theme and Symbols

The backdrop is a canyon at dusk, drawn in flat pastel colour, with flowers drifting across the reels as they spin. NetEnt built the presentation around the licence rather than around the maths, so the soundtrack does a lot of the work. Each Free Spins mode is scored to the track it is named after.

Symbol design splits neatly. Low-value positions are filled by the peace sign, a heart, a vinyl record, a flower and an eye. Above those sit two electric guitars in different colours, with Hendrix himself as the top-paying symbol and the wild. The Pick and Click symbol appears only on reels three, four and five, which is why the bonus screen is reached less often than the base-game features.
