Narcos – NetEnt
NetEnt is the king of official slot machines. Slots based on famous bands, movies or TV series like the mega hit Narcos. NetEnt released the news that they had been commissioned to develop the slot based on the popular TV series during the London iGaming Conference in 2017. We had to wait 18 months for it, but it was so worth the wait!
In well-known NetEnt fashion, Narcos is packed to the brim with cool features that take the gaming experience to a new level. This slot machine is almost as much a video game as a slot machine, and with 5 reels and 243 paylines, an epic battle between the drug baron and the police, ensures a gaming experience like no other.
With high octane car chases, gunfire and exploding free spins, the Narcos slot offers a RTP of 96.3%, medium volatility and a maximum payout during free spins of 602,400 coins.
Since it’s based on the world-renowned TV series with the same name, players worldwide have been waiting with excitement ever since NetEnt released the news that they had been commissioned to develop the slot. Yes, it has taken 18 months to develop it, but believe us, it was well worth the wait, because this slot has everything and more.
Narcos Slot Features
During the main game, it’s the Drive By feature that really sets the mood on Narcos. The feature can be triggered randomly and will see one of Pablo’s men peppering the reels with bullets as he drives past at high speed. The symbols hit by the bullets will spin around leaving a variety of wilds on the reels.
Locked Up feature:
Land three or more symbols of Pablo himself in a row and it will trigger the Locked Up Feature. This opens in a new screen where the symbols of Pablo are locked on the reels before you get 3 free spins where 3 or more symbols of Pablo in a cluster are also locked on the reels.
Golden suitcase:
All the symbols of a golden suitcase hide a win of between 1x and 10 x your wager. In addition to the Locked Up Feature, all symbols of the golden suitcase can hide either a multiplier of up to x3, Symbol Upgrades or Big Starting Value, which will add a random win to the suitcase.
Wild symbols:
The wild symbol on Narcos comes both as ordinary wild which can replace all other symbols except scatter, and as a walking wild. Should you land a walking wild, it will stay on the reels and move from one reel at a time from right to left with each spin until it eventually walks off the reels. Should you trigger Drive By or Free Spins with an active walking wild on the reels, the walking wild will remain on the reels until the feature is over.
Free spins:
Free spins on Narcos is hidden behind the symbol of a Cadillac that explodes every time you land the symbol on reels 1, 3 and 5 at the same time. Free spins are played on a separate screen and not only is the walking wild far more active, but you are ensured that the Drive By feature is active on all 10 Free Spins.
After the smoke has settled and the rain of bullets is over, you could leave the shootout with wins of up to 1,506 x your wager.
Design & graphics
From a graphic point of view, Narcos is just as good as we expect from NetEnt. The different symbols consist of 4 high value symbols that all represent characters from the TV series. The two agents, Pablo’s mistress and his right-hand are all included. The four symbols will reward you with winnings of between 250 and 300 coins if you land five symbols on a line.
Then there are two symbols of medium value in the form of a private plane and a beautiful pink pelican, both paying 120 coins, before the traditional low value symbols of J, Q, K and A round it all up.
Where can you play Narcos slot
Narcos is one of the very best official slots from NetEnt and that says a lot. After all, we are talking about a developer that has given us slots such as Guns N Roses, Jumanji and Scudamore’s Super Stakes. We highly recommend that you test out Narcos, whether you’re a fan of the show or not.

What’s happened to good old slot machines?
Our spinning tin of joy has come a long way indeed; from chrome, gears, and levers, to lightning-fast buttons, reels, and pay lines – all masterfully blown into life thanks to some real state of the art video graphics. Many new video slots sport up to 5 reels. When it comes to how many pay lines a video slot can have these days, the numbers are as easy to predict as the winning numbers of a jackpot, they’re simply up in the air. Some games come with fixed pay lines, while other slots give you the possibility to bet on paylines. New paylines can suddenly pop up and offer something fun and exciting while playing, like free spins, for example, all video slots are a bit different, just like the number of pay lines and your gaming options. At Casino Hacks we think this is just great, because players are different, and we all favor different games and features. Just remember, before you spin away, go a little easy on the betting. If you’re new to the online casino and slot games, a free spin run is a smart way to start, just so you get the knack of the game and different features.
New slots = new options
Options and new chances really are the name of the game here, so naturally, slot providers are constantly working on finding new smart ways to add surprising and fun bonus features. We see this all the time when new popular slots hit the casinos, packed with new options – all there to give you as a player another chance to win for example via an extra free spin or an entertaining boost option, like a multiplier feature.
Classic slots & branded masterpieces
Truly great slots become classics, like Gonzo’s Quest, Starburst – and reviews are always a smart way to get more out of the games. Reviews of branded slots are especially smart to check out since the RTP – the return to player figures – for branded slots sometimes can be as generous as the Night King in the epic saga. This is not always the case for all branded slots of course, and we’re not saying here that this is the case for GOT either, just pointing out some facts. When it comes to quality and entertainment levels, we’ve seen some astonishing development in the last couple of years where some truly amazing movie and TV concepts have been crafted into epic video slots – Game of Thrones, Jurassic World, Gladiator, Planet of the Apes, Age of Spartans, Jumanji, Beowulf, Mighty Kong, Jungle Books, Emoji Planet and Beauty and the Beast, to name a few.

What we look for when reviewing slots
Let’s take an example, it’s much easier that way. Let’s take a great slot, one we really love, let’s go for Jammin’ Jars. Now, this is a pearl of a slot because of the potential it’s got, to be precise, the theoretical potential here is 20 000X. Volatility, on the other hand, can be brutal, so make sure you manage your bankroll. If you manage your bankroll, keep your cool and play this slot the smart way, it might just show you the way to some serious cash. But, like with all slots, you can never be sure, of course.
– RTP: Return to player figures are at 96.51, not bad at all.
– Volatility: High. You might want to stay calm and wait for the bonus game when that comes along, you can get lucky.
– Overall impression: A gem of a game. Stay cool and stick to your game plan and this can be a winner.
