Time to Rock With the Iconic New NetEnt Release Ozzy Osbourne Video Slot!
Hello Casino has recently added the rock legend themed NetEnt title Ozzy Osbourne Video Slot featuring the Prince of darkness in a suitably dark theme along with his own music playing as you spin the reels.
The Ozzy Osbourne video slot is a regular 5×3 reel 20 payline slot with one key feature to be aware of, the BONUS BET option, activating this feature for a premium cost makes several changes to way this slot will pay including increased multiplier, more free spins, a higher bonus frequency along with a tiny increase to the overall RTP.
The cost to toggle on this feature is essentially doubling your bet size whilst retaining the original pay values from the symbols, the trade-off is more regular bonuses and hopefully bigger wins thanks to the extra spins and higher multipliers in play.
Triggering the main bonus feature is done by landing 3 scatters on the reels, landing just two, however, will trigger a re-spin of the reels with the charge up feature active.
The Charge Up feature take places above the reels selecting a random symbol chosen to apply a modifier to, this can be things such as Scatter like Coin Wins, Wild symbols, Multipliers, Symbol Upgrade or even a Bonus trigger.
This mini-feature can provide some nice base game wins and is quite a nice idea, activating on 2 scatters so that missing out the main bonus trigger doesn’t feel so frustrating!
The main bonus round, however, is where this slot really shines with the Charge Up feature being applied on every free spin and making some very interesting combinations of wilds and multipliers possible, especially when symbols are upgraded and multipliers added to the maximum 12x!
With no Bonus Bet activated the free spins start with just 4 free spins, activating Bonus Bet will grant you an initial 5 spins which can really make a big difference, the additional spin can help create some very interesting combinations of modified symbols and really help with the winning combinations.
There is a small chance of earning extra free spins also by landing the Scatter symbol in the Charge Up feature, again this small touch really does help make the bonus round very exciting.
Check out all of this slots special features in the gameplay video below.

Selecting the Bonus Bet adds an addtional cost but gives several advantages to the gameplay including more Free Spins, higher Multiplier values in the Free Spins (x5 and x7) along with more regular bonus triggers.
The frequency of Free Spins without bonus bet is 1/259 spins. The frequency of free spins with bonus bet activated is 1/140.
Symbol Charge Up/Re-Spin
The Symbol Charge Up is activated when 2 scatters land in view, firstly a random symbol is selectedand then a modifier is applied to it.
The Feature Spinner section of the Charge Up includes modifiers such as Coin Win, Wilds, Multipliers or Symbol Upgrades.
Free Spins
The free spins bonus round is triggered by landing 3 Scatter symbols appearing on reels 1, 3 and 5 or occasionally from a Scatter symbol appearing on the Feature Spinner in the Charge Up mini-feature.
During every spin of the bonus round a modifier is applied to a symbol just like the charge up feature and these modifiers then remain in play for the duration of the bonus round.

Overall Opinions
We thoroughly enjoyed playtesting the Ozzy Osbourne Video Slot, for once it was a NetEnt slot that we kept playing well past what would be considered a normal playtest period of time, the main attraction and appeal to this slot certainly lies in the free spins bonus round where you are never quite sure which mix of modifiers you are going to get and how well they will interact together.
Nice touches such as random bonus trigger from the Charge Up feature and the occasional extra spin during the bonus round really add to the excitement of this slot.
We playtested this slot exclusively with Bonus Bet active, this has many benefits including more regular bonuses, bigger multipliers and an extra spin in the bonus round and even a slightly higher RTP, the major negative is the big increase per spin but even playing with real money this slot looks set to play better with the bonus bet activated.
Even without the iconic name attached to this slot, it is well worth playing, possibly not the most volatile slot you will play, but the bonus round is very exciting when 12x multipliers and wilds are involved!
