Narcos Slot from NetEnt

Slot Debut for TV Smash Narcos

Narcos is a brand new slot game from NetEnt which takes all the excitement of the worldwide smash-hit television series of the same name and cleverly packs it into five reels of non-stop action. Fans of the TV crime drama will no doubt love this game, because it is just about as true to the series as a slot could be. However, Narcos is just as enjoyable as a standalone title, and will also entertain those who haven’t even heard of the television series which inspired it.

About Narcos

For those of you who haven’t actually seen the television series on which this game is based, Narcos tells the story of Colombian drug lord Pablo Escobar and the Medellin Cartel. The crime drama was produced by Gaumont International Television exclusively for video streaming service Netflix, and has been massively popular with critics and audiences alike since it first aired in August 2015.

The Narcos slot incorporates many of the elements of the television show in a way that will satisfy both fans of the franchise and casual gamers alike. Symbols on the five reels include the playing card ranks J, Q, K and A (all of which are decorated with a weapon of some kind), a pink flamingo, a plane, a Free Spins car (on reels 1, 3 and 5 only) and a DEA badge Wild, as well as several characters from the show, including DEA agent Steve Murphy, Pablo Escobar and Gonzalo Rodriguez Gacha.

Visually, this game is presented in the style of a mature comic book or graphic novel, but there are plenty of animations which bring the screen to life in a more cinematic way, including explosions, banknotes falling through the air and even shootouts between the good guys and the bad guys. Audio is equally rich, with a soundtrack that will be familiar to anyone who has watched the Narcos TV show and numerous sound effects and snippets of character dialogue.

Rich with Special Features

Narcos gives players 243 ways to win in the main game, but also boasts several special features that help to make things even more interesting. Walking wilds are one such feature, with wild symbols shifting to the left after helping to complete a winning combination and sticking in that new position for the following spin.

• Get three Free Spins symbols on the reels and you will receive ten free spins. Several symbols will serve as extra wilds during this stage of the game, and all of those new wilds can walk from spin to spin as mentioned a moment ago.
• A Locked Up feature is triggered when you get three locked up symbols on the reels, and this will take you to a different screen where you will play for a random coin win. It is possible to spin a golden locked up symbol into play here to unlock additional features and win even more.
• Add in a Drive By Shooting feature which can be triggered at any time when playing the main game and it is no exaggeration to say that the Narcos slot is every bit as exciting as the show itself.

An Exciting New Option

‘Since we first announced the deal with Gaumont to bring Narcos to the reels, the anticipation among players and our operator partners has been huge,’ said Bryan Upton, who is Director of Games at NetEnt. ‘We are confident that the game will more than live up to its lofty expectations and add an exciting new option to our unbeatable branded catalogue.’
