Jimi Hendrix himself is the wild symbol, substituting for other paying icons on a line, while a red guitar re-spin feature keeps the reels spinning as long as red guitar symbols keep landing. A Purple Haze feature can also trigger when its namesake symbol lands on reel one, turning every 10-through-Ace symbol on the reels wild for that spin. Collecting three scatters unlocks a Pick and Click bonus with hidden prizes, and beyond that sits three distinct free-spins modes named after Hendrix tracks: Purple Haze Free Spins (6-12 spins with high-card symbols turning wild each spin), Little Wing Free Spins (6-12 spins with 3-5 random extra wilds per spin), and Crosstown Traffic Free Spins (6 spins with two reels of wilds that shift position each spin).

Pros

  • Three distinct Hendrix-song free-spins modes give the game real variety between sessions
  • Low volatility keeps wins landing often, which suits penny-slot bankrolls
  • Purple Haze feature can turn a full run of high-card symbols wild on a single spin
  • Red guitar re-spins can keep paying out even without triggering a bonus round

Cons

  • 400× max win is modest next to newer high-volatility NetEnt slots
  • 20 fixed paylines offer less combination variety than cluster-pay titles
  • Three separate free-spins modes can take longer to learn than a single bonus round
