Testament

The enormously successful Swedish game maker Play'n GO has often successfully incorporated the music and themes of rock bands in their releases, and...

...they are now back with the Testament, in which they veered off in the direction of blistering loud heavy metal music!

Join the lords of thrash metal, but be ready to face plenty of monsters, skulls and weapons!

Are you crazy about the dark, hard side of rock music? Then you will have a lot of fun with this branded title.

But, do not worry, even if you are more pop-oriented, you could be attracted by its maximum potential win of 20,000x your stake!

Are you ready to rock the reels?

Is The Theme Dark Enough?

The Testament is a 5 reel, 243-ways-to-win game based on the American thrash metal band with the same name, formed in 1982 and still active now!

Design-wise the game is filled with images that completely correspond to the band’s character – dark and twisty with just the right amount of apocalyptic elements typical for this type of music genre!

The background is set in a spooky abandoned building, with fog all around to set the theme, while the reel set has a grey detailed border.

Based on a 2012 album Dark Roots of Earth, the reels are full of symbols you might find on a metal fan’s grungy black t-shirt, including vampires, werewolves, skeletons and shields. 

As expected, the soundtrack is made up of songs from the aforementioned album, and in particular the tracks Cold Embrace, Dark Roots of Earth and Throne of Thorns, which feature in the bonus rounds.

How Much Can We Bet?

In order to meet the band members and see what they have prepared for you, you need to set the bet size that has values ranging from €0.10 all the way up to the €100 level!

The developer created a game with five reels, three rows and 243 ways to win as default, however, this can increase up to a 4-5-6-5-4 size with 2,400 pay ways during the free spins feature!

The volatility of this metal-themed title is high, while the RTP is calculated at 96.20%.

The game boasts 11 symbols in total, which include 4 low paying symbols represented by J, Q, K, and A.

Of all the other regular symbols, the horned skull is the highest paying and awards 12.5x your stake for landing 5 on a pay line. 

There is also a thrash metal demon wild that can substitute for all symbols apart from the scatter and pays up to 15x your stake.

However, what this music release stands out for is its jackpot!

Wonder why?

It will reach 20,000x the stake, which, even for a developer like Play'n GO, that has plenty of titles at 2,500x to 10,000x, is amazing.

What Special Features Can We Expect?

Quite a few!

The Testament title benefits from 3 song features where you’ll receive free spins with sticky wilds, spreading wilds or more ways to win. 

There’s also a Rise Up Spins feature where you’ll play free spins with 2,400 ways to win. 

If you get 2 Scatters, which are the Dark Roots of Earth album cover image, you will get 3 free spins with 1 of the following Song features taking place:

Cold Embrace feature – any wilds that appear on the reels are sticky for the duration of the 3 free spins.

Dark Roots of Earth feature – the skull symbol spreads up or down to give you more wilds on the reels.

Throne of Thorns feature – the grid expands in size to 4x5x6x5x4 meaning that you’ll play with 2,400 ways to win, which increases your chances of winning more.

But this is not all!

Land 3, 4 or 5 scatters on a base game spin, and you’ll trigger a Rise Up Spins feature, while 4 or 5 scatters will also give you a 5 or 20 times stake bonus.

You get 9 free spins with the reels expanding to give you 2,400 ways to win.

9 spaces at the top of the grid are blocked off with stone blockers, though. When a scatter symbol lands, it smashes a stone blocker, which expands the reel by 1 space.

If you smash all 9 stone blockers, you will go on to play the Testament Spins feature.

Once in this feature, you will be rewarded with 3 free spins as well as any remaining Rise Up spins you have remaining. 

In this feature, all Song features combine, which means wilds become sticky, and also spread.

Not bad at all!

What To Conclude?

While there’s a lot going on features wise in the Testament title, you’ll soon figure it out. With the Song features, you will basically benefit from sticky wilds, spreading wilds and more ways to win!

Even though the soundtrack won’t be to everyone’s taste, it’s very refreshing to see a game offering something different. 

Overall, it’s hard not to be impressed by the unique graphics, immersive soundtrack and extensive features!

Plus, with an RTP of 96.2%, you can win up to 20,000x stake, which is pretty impressive!
