Get on a reel chase!

Bullets fly, sirens blare and the reels spin! If you are a fan of high-speed, edgy action, then, by all means, give this slot machine a good spin.

Based on the superhit NetFlix series, NetEnt has developed the Narcos slot in association with Gaumont, the brand owners of the original TV series.

The landscape is late 80s Colombia and the game takes you to the world of Pablo Escobar, one of the most powerful drug lords of all time. So, expect some a dark but gripping journey of drug kingpins on these fast-paced reels. The symbols in the game take inspiration from all those involved in the hit series – the police, DEA and drug lords – and brings them to life on these reels.

NetEnt’s Narcos is a 5-reel, 3-row world that gives you 243 bet ways to win. To match the storyline’s fast-paced thrill, this is a high volatility slot that offers a decent return-to-player of 96.23%. The highest prize you can hit on these spinning reels is 3,000 coins or £6,000 on a single bet. The maximum that you can squeeze out from the main game as a coinciding win is £43,600. And since a game round may include several spins, you may even end up winning higher than the maximum coinciding win. To run the reel you will need to bet a minimum of £0.20, which can be raised to a maximum of £400 per spin.

A fast-paced feature-rich gameplay

With Narcos, NetEnt is introducing some trailblazing features. So, while Wild Cops and Wicked Narcos rip into each other, bonus rounds like the Drive-by and Locked Up features and symbols that give the players a true feeling of what it was like being part of the Pablo Escobar journey. Other two bonus round have Free Spins and Walking Wilds. And even though it is a high variance game, the Narcos slot is jam-packed with innovative features which have a total hit frequency of 26.7%. So, there is a high chance of landing them. Here is a quick glance at what each of these bonus rounds has to offer!

The Locked Up Feature

This feature has an RTP of 26.1% and is activated when three or more Locked Up symbols appear in a row. Once activated, only the Locked Up and Golden Locked Up symbols appear on the reels. If you get a Golden Locked Up symbol, one of the following features will be revealed:

1. Multiplier: Here, all symbol values are multiplied by either a 2x or 3x multiplier.
2. Upgrade symbol: This symbol upgrades the values of the symbols by 1x the total bet value.
3. Big starting value: In this feature, extra value is added to the Golden Locked up symbol value to make the starting value of the symbol even bigger.

The Locked Up feature starts gives you three spins. During these spins, if a new Locked Up or Golden Locked Up symbols appear, adding to an existing cluster or creating a new winning cluster, the number of spins resets to three again. So, the spins can keep getting stalked up!

The bonus round has a hit rate of 0.8% (1 in 124 spins). So, this round won’t show up easily on the reels. However, if it does, up can win up to £108 400.

The Drive-by feature

This feature is pure adrenaline rush! This bonus round gets activated when a fancy car arrives from behind the reels and suddenly a person starts shooting from inside the car, making bullet holes in the symbols and transforming some of the high-value symbols into Wild symbols. So, the possibilities this round creates are immense.

The Walking Wilds feature

As the name suggests, in this bonus round, the Wilds walk! That is, when this feature is active, the Wild symbols with wins keep shifting horizontally one place to the left with each spin. This continues until there are no winning Wild symbols left. Walking Wilds can appear during the main game and also during the Free Spins rounds. In case any feature gets activated during the Walking Wild feature, the Walking Wild stays on the reel even after the feature is over.  The feature has an RTP of 24% and you can get a maximum coinciding win of £400,800 during this round.

The Free Spins rounds

This good-old traditional round occurs when three Scatter symbols appear on reels 1,3 and 5. In the main game, this activates 10 Free Spins. On every spin, there is a chance that one or more high-value symbols turn into Wilds. What’s more? At the end of these Free Spins, if there are Walking Wilds still left on the reels, one extra spin is awarded. This continues until there are no more Walking Wilds left on the reels. The Narcos Free Spins round has an RTP of 23.1% and hit rate of 0.28% (1 in 351 spins). It is hard to land because the maximum you can get as a coinciding win is a massive £602,400.
