As a teenager I was a huge fan of James Dean and had posters hanging up of the famous Rebel Without a Cause actor all over my room. I was therefore super excited that NextGen chose to create a slot based on the edgy 50’s heartthrob with hella good hair. Let’s see if NextGen Gaming’s new James Dean online slot does justice to the legendary actor.
Gameplay and Symbols in James Dean Slot
James Dean, Play like a Rebel slot is a five reel and twenty-five payline slot. Set to a blue neon backdrop, the reels are lined with symbols depicting his life such as a motorcycle, a sports car, film reel, sunglasses and of course the legend himself, James Dean in several poses. James Dean in neon blue acts as your expanding wild symbol and the James Dean star on the Hollywood walk of fame is your scatter symbol. There is also a James Dean pick me bonus symbol.
Playing cards are added in for good measure and spins can be played from .25 up to £50. The highest paying symbol is the famous sports car paying out 5,000 coins for five. The motorcycle is the second highest paying symbol paying out 2,000 coins for five.
Re-Spins, Free Spins and Legend Spins
Spin in three blue James Dean wild symbol on the middle reels 2,3 and 4 and the famous 50’s icon will expand on the reels for three re-spins. All wins will be multiplied by three on the re-spins for excellent wins!
Three or more James Dean star on the Hollywood walk of fame scatter symbols grant ten free games with a 2x multiplier added to each! Free games can be re-triggered for up to 20 free games. Not only that, but your payouts are revved up even further if a clapper symbol (suggests a take when filming a scene) lands on reel three and you are granted a further one to three free games with a bumped up 5x multiplier! Again, the legend spins can be re-triggered and are played out only after the free games have finished.
James Dean Pick Bonus
As if there hasn’t been enough winning action, James Dean also has a James Dean Pick Bonus feature. This is activated when three or more James Dean symbols with a pinkish purple background land on the reels. Simply pick one of the symbols for 150x your bet prize win, a pick again, or a win all! If the bonus round is activated during the legend free spins round, you stand to win a whopping 750x your bet!
Summary
James Dean online slot from NextGen let’s you play like a Rebel and has all the trappings of an excellent slot despite the somewhat weak graphics. The game is medium variance with a 95.416% RTP and a payout of up to 750x your bet. The theme couldn’t be more of a winner and the bonus features will make your slot play as entertaining as possible.
