The RTP is a theoretical, long-run figure, so it says nothing certain about any single session. For more on how this works, read our explainer on what RTP means.

Meet the Crew: Theme and Symbols

On each side of the reels you will find Harry Shearer and Michael McKean in their roles, bathed in red and purple stage lights and white spotlights, with dozens of massive speakers behind them. The symbols include the Spinal Tap logo, Michael McKean, Harry Shearer, Christopher Guest and Rob Reiner as the metal performers. At the bottom are four royal flush poker symbols. Rock ‘n’ roll music blares, and the over-the-top humour is clearly intended.

VIP Guest Access to Rock Mode

Rock Mode is activated by clicking on the VIP guest pass, which gets you backstage and gives you access to four modifiers through the spinning vinyl: Bands Odyssey, Heavy Duty Wilds, Wild Sparks or Rock ‘N’ Roll Spins. The feature does not come cheap, but it lifts the RTP to 97.02%.

Bonus Picker and Free Spins

Three or more skull scatter symbols trigger the Bonus Picker. You choose from several vinyl records to unlock one of seven bonus rounds. The top round, The World Tour, has a maximum win of x10,000.

Stonehenge Free Spins: 11 free spins on 2,187 ways with sticky wilds. They can be re-triggered with completely stacked sticky wilds.
Encore Free Spins: 11 free spins where all wilds are collected and added to an encore super spin, played on up to 2,187 ways on seven reels.
Stairway to Hell Free Spins: 11 free spins on up to 2,187 ways on seven reels, where the speaker symbol collects extra spins.
The Record Deal: pick records to reveal cash prizes, swap them for another, or reveal one of the bonus features above.

Double Platinum

You can choose between three characters to upgrade your Feature Wheel and reveal your starting bonus. Reach the centre and you start with The World Tour Bonus.

How It Plays

Spinal Tap is a 243-ways game that can expand to 2,187 ways. The variance is about medium, so winning sequences may come less often than on a lower-variance slot, but wins can be higher when they do land. You can play on mobile, tablet or PC, including iOS and Android devices.
