How to Play Ozzy Osbourne Slot

Slot Features
The game has a few features and one of them is triggered with Scatter symbols that can land only on reels 1, 3 and 5. Landing 2 Scatters will activate a respin, and landing 3 or more Scatters on any of the 3 reels, or if you land a Scatter on the feature spinner in the respin, you will start Free Spins feature.
Free Spins
When playing at the base bet, the feature will award 4 spins for the feature, and when playing with the bonus bet, you will get awarded with 5 spins. During Free Spins, the Symbol Charge Up is activated before each spin during the feature.
First, the Symbol Spinner defines the symbol, then the Feature Spinner defines the feature that will get applied to the chosen symbol until the feature ends. If a Scatter appears on the Symbol Spinner during the feature, an additional Free Spin will be awarded, and the Symbol Spinner will respin.
Symbol Charge Up
During the Respin and Free Spins features, the Symbol Charge Up is activated first, and the Symbol Spinner defines the symbol. After that, the Feature Spinner defines the feature that is applied to the chosen symbol during the Respin or Free Spins. Any symbol except for the Wild symbol can appear on the Symbol Spinner.
Feature Spinner can award Wild or Upgrade. Each chosen symbol appearing on the reels transform into a Wild symbol if the Wild feature gets awarded. If, however, you get awarded with Upgrade feature, each chosen symbol appearing on the reels transforms into the symbol before it according to the paytable. During the Free Spins, the symbol will get all the features already applied to the symbol it transforms into. During the Free Spins, the Upgrade can be chained when activated 2 or more times.
Summary
You may or not be a fan of Ozzy Osbourne, but this game is definitely worth a shot. It’s a slightly complicated game to grasp, but after a few spins, you will understand the mechanics that NetEnt was aiming. RTP rate ranges between 96.30% and 96.67%, and the slot packs medium volatility. Either way, we’re convinced that Ozzy’s fans will surely love the game even though it comes off as slightly mild in comparison to what Ozzy Osbourne actually stands for.
Fantastic game and very unique compared to other NetEnt offerings. The bonus bet is highly recommended which has a minimum bet of $0.40 versus $0.20 without the bet. This improves multipliers, gives an extra spin in the feature, and seems to increase bonus chances. Most wins on this game are pretty mediocre without hitting the 2 scatter or 3 scatter bonuses. With 2 scatter it simply improves on one symbol and often results in a mediocre win. Occasionally, however, this can cause a pretty decent win but not common.
The main purpose is to go for the 3 scatter bonus round. This, with the bonus bet, will upgrade symbols 5 times. You also have a chance at an additional scatter (or more) during the round. The upgrades consist of multipliers, wilds, upgrades (to another symbol), and coin which is the worst upgrade and simply makes that symbol act as if you have 3x of them. This has some huge upside. In my games I have had some duds where I earned 0 coins, or simply 10x my bet. Other times I have hit over 1000x.
Be warned this game can be unforgiving and generate nothing for hundreds of spins - or you can hit some super mega wins fairly often. If I don't see anything within 100 spins I move on for the night.
This can be a frustrating slot when you hit a lot of bonus rounds without any big win. This is pretty common in most NetEnt games so it is hard to say this is a major con.
