Ozzy Osbourne Slot Review
The Ozzy Osbourne is based on the Prince of Darkness himself and has a stunning soundtrack with his songs, much like the other fantastic games in the NetEnt Rocks series. The feature style of Ozzy Osbourne only belongs to rock-themed games. Being the creator of Guns N' Roses, Jimi Hendrix, and Motorhead, they have plenty of experience creating games featuring legendary musicians. In the background, famous Ozzy and Black Sabbath songs, such as Crazy Train and Bark at the Moon, are playing. This slot machine's action takes place in a fitting Gothic-style fireplace amid gloomy surroundings. Demons are seated on either side, periodically lighted by lightning. In between Ozzy's songs, spooky music is played to heighten the ambience. The visuals of this slot will excite everyone who likes the guy, his music, and his own flair.

Ozzy Osbourne Bonus Features
Bonus Bet. In case this feature is turned on, the player will play with 40 coins for bet level, the bigger amount of Free Spins can be triggered, and the Multiplier grow from 2x and 3x to 5x, and 7x.
Wild Symbol. Wilds can be shown on any place on the game field and they can stand for any other symbols, but not for Scatters.
Symbol Charge Up. It is turned on before the Re-Spin and each Free Spin gives one or more features. In this feature, the Symbol Spinner set the symbol and the Feature Spinner set one of the modifiers that should be used for this symbol:
• Coin Win. The symbol that is chosen and shown on the game field gives a coin win equal to the win for three of the same symbols.
• Symbol Multiplier. The current multiplier is added to any wins with the symbol that was set. During Free Spins, the multipliers go from 2x and 3x to 5x and 7x and in case both Multiplier values are set to the same symbol, they are added together.
• Wild. Every chosen symbol that is shown on the game field changes into a Wild.
• Upgrade. The symbol that was set on the game field transforms into the symbol that was there before it, based on the paytable. In Free Spins, the symbol receives equal modifiers as that which it changes into. When the feature is used more than twice in Free Spins, it can be linked together.
Re-Spin. Activates in case two Scatters are shown on the 1st, 2nd, or 5th reels while playing the main game.
Free Spins. Activates in case 3 Scatters are shown on the 1st, 2nd, and 5th reels while playing the main game, or in case a Scatter is shown on the Feature Spinner during the Re-Spins. In case the player uses the base bet, 4 Free Spins can be activated. In case playing with a Bonus Bet, 5 Free Spins can be activated. During the feature, every Scatter gives 1 more Free Spin.
Our Experience Playing Ozzy Osbourne
We will run a standard test for 300 spins with a bet of 1 EUR and a total of 200 EUR. The first hundred spins gave us a maximum payout of 6 times the bet. We were lucky to 3 Scatters to be shown on the game field and Free Spins be activated in which we got 47 times the bet. For the first 100 spins, we lost 8 EUR. The second hundred spins gave us a max payout of 40 times the bet. For the second 100 spins, we got 26 EUR. The last hundred spins gave us a max payout of 10 times the bet. For 300 spins we lost 6.5 EUR.
Ozzy Osbourne Slot Verdict
Ozzy Osbourne is an unimpressive slot machine, similar to a lot of NetEnt's products that use famous brands. The game is rather subdued for a game that is based on an artist who gained notoriety for biting on bat heads on stage. The game's makers overcomplicated it a little bit due to the features' overwhelming complexity. There isn't much here to keep you interested unless you're an Ozzy fan. Even the payments are somewhat meagre and are not more than 2,500x here. Most returns during the free spins feature should range between 40 and 100 times. Also, turning on the Bonus Bet option dramatically alters the gameplay because it gives the free spins feature a higher RTP percentage than the regular game. The frequency of free spins also rises dramatically. Certainly, Ozzy fans will likely enjoy it because of the recognisable graphics and music, and some gamers may enjoy the game's style, but once the new feeling goes away and it might don’t take much time, most players will move on.
