While music-themed slots are not new to the industry Play’n GO are carving out a niche for themselves by launching hard-hitting high-energy slot machines showcasing fantastic heavy metal bands from the late 70s into the early 80s. Their latest offering to the dark gods of thrash metal is Testament, a slot that pays homage to one of the scenes most talented and influential bands of the same name.

 Dark Temple Filled With Brilliant Music

The dark stone reels of the Testament video slot are set in an unholy temple filled with decaying vines, sensuous succubi statues and a demonic overlord looking down upon it all.

The reels of Testament are filled with classic 80s and 90s thrash metal artwork. Coming from an era when being ‘metal’ required that you show all forms of dark imagery, the reels of Testament showcase a screaming skull, a skulking vampire, a snarling werewolf, a decaying skeleton and a battle-worn shield with swords.

There is also a Wild symbol which is the desiccated robe-wearing version of the skull symbol. This will come into play later when the skull has a chance to morph into a Wild to boost your winning potential.

Despite its shudder-inducing setting, the music that you spin along to is fantastic, far from the expected gear grinding screaming – both lyrically and musically - Testament offers melodic vocals, world-class musicians, excellent sound production and story-driven songs that are few and far between these days.
