Spinal Tap

By Matthew Kennedy | Updated 10 June 2026

Spinal Tap is a movie that perhaps defines the words cult classic more than any other has. The Mock-Rockumentary about Britain’s loudest band has been adored by many for a long time, and it was only ever a matter of time before the classic movie was transformed into an online slot game.The software developer who finally created the slot based on the film was Blueprint Gaming, and they’ve proud the sounds, the sights, and the smells of Spinal Tap to life with style.

About the slot

A five reel, 243 ways to win slot playable from 30p to £30 a spin on all compatible desktop, mobile, and tablet devices, Spinal Tap is exactly what it should be from the outset, a game that makes you reach for the volume knob and look for 11.A stage provides the background while the reels are adorned with the four members of the band, as well as while J, Q, K, and A symbols play the lower value.The colour scheme is black and purple, and the soundtrack is as raucous and loud as you’d hope it would be.

Gameplay

There are a lot of features here, include the Rock Mode feature, which triggers when the volume knob (the spin button) hits 11.You will then have two extra reels, and a total of 2,187 ways to win, while the needle of a record will point to a one of several modifiers including wild reels, streak respins, extra bonus symbols, and more.Land three or more Bonus symbols to trigger one of seven features that include several free spins features, as well as a spin the wheel bonus, and a pick and click game.The soundtrack and imagery alone would have been enough to tempt in Spinal Tap fans, but Blueprint offer a lot more than that here.
