ZZ Top (pronounced 'zee zee top') is an American rock band formed in Houston, Texas, in 1969.The group consists of founder Billy Gibbons (guitar, lead vocals), Dusty Hill (bass, vocals), and Frank Beard (drums, percussion). Initially rooted in blues, ZZ Top's style has evolved throughout their career, with a signature sound based on Gibbons' blues guitar style and Hill and Beard's rhythm section. Big Beards and Big Sound – The ZZ Top Slot Design This Bally designed slot is one of those that you can’t miss on the casino floor. The game is housed in the ALPHA Pro-Series V22/32 platform and players will enjoy the 5.1 surround sound which really brings the live concert experience to life.
Basics – Setup of the ZZ Top
The base game of this rock music inspired slot is played out on the almost standard 5×3 reel configuration and pays from left to right. On the reels you have a nice mix of symbols relating to the band and gambling in general. For example, you have the famous ZZ top car acting as the wild symbol, a ring with the ZZ top logo and the logo itself as a standalone symbol. Next to these you’ll find flaming sevens, a series of dice and a pile of poker chips. While the base game is enjoyable, this slot is all about the features, some of which are randomly awarded and others which are landed by the right combination of symbols. Three progressive jackpots can certainly give the bankroll a major boost if you manage to hit them.
ZZ Top Slot Random In-Play Features
The first bonus features are randomly awarded ones – perhaps the best of these is the ‘Just Got Paid’ feature. Here you’ll be presented with three symbols and you’ll simply pick one of the three. Two of the three symbols will usually uncover a credit win, while the other pick can take you to one of the other bonus features listed below. This feature can happen at any time during the game, after a winning spin or losing one.
‘Eliminator’ wilds see the famous ZZ Top car zooms across the reels leaving wilds in its wake. These wilds will appear on reels 2, 3, 4 and 5 and can make for some very profitable spins, ensuring those combinations line up and aiding in giving those big five in a row wins.
The final randomly awarded feature is the ‘VU Meter’ which will apply a multiplier to a spin, the multipliers being 2x, 3x or 5x. Hopefully, this random feature will be timely, with the 5x multiplier appearing after a big win.
Wheel Bonus and Free Games
‘The Wheel Bonus’ is activated by landing the bonus symbol on reels 2, 3 and 4. This now takes you to a Wheel of Fortune style bonus round. There is a nice extra in the design here – with the pointer for the wheel a guitar pick. On this wheel you’ll find a variety of prizes available, including entry into another bonus feature, a credit win or even access to the jackpot wheel. This jackpot wheel allows you to win one of the three progressive Jackpots in the game – you’ll be guaranteed to win one at this point.
There are two free games bonus rounds. The first of these gives you 8 free spins with ‘locking wilds’, meaning that any wild symbols will stay in place throughout the rest of the feature. This makes for a feature where the biggest winning opportunities come in the last few spins. The other free spins feature is more expansive. You’ll start with 10 free spins, but then you’ll enter another pick-em screen, where you’ll select items of clothing to wear, this feature called ‘Sharp Dressed Man’. You’ll have three picks at first and uncover extra spins, while also sometimes earning additional picks. You could find yourself earning as many as 30 free spins or more at times, making for a fantastic feature.
The ZZ Top slot machine by Bally got me thinking: what other rock groups have slot machines?
There's the Rolling Stones slot, Elton John has a slot machine- any others? I'd love to see an '80s slot machine, but maybe I'm the only one... :)
This is a rather long slot video versus my typical and there isn't a great Big Win or Jackpot in this one, but it does show a variety of features of the game, of which there are many! When I decided to post this, I thought it unlikely I were to revisit the machine although maybe I will for some of the other bonuses.
In this ZZ Top slot video, there's a lot to see! For starters, randomly a 'Just Got Paid!' bonus will appear which allows you to pick one of three choices for either a credit award or a bonus. Also randomly, the ZZ Top car may appear leaving random wilds on the reels to help you win big for that spin. Finally, another random bonus is a 2x/3x/5x multiplier that you may receive before your spin to multiply the result of that spin. All of these are good features, especially as the base pay table seems rather cheap, even for 5-of-a-kinds.
The primary bonus is initiated by getting bonus symbols on reels 2, 3, and 4, which will give you one spin on the bonus wheel to either initiate a bonus game or the money wheel for a credit award. In this video, you'll see the 'Legs' bonus which awards you 8 free spins with 'Locking Wilds' - you'll notice the audio fading in and out so as to not interfere with the song's copyright, Enjoy!

ZZ Top was a local band where I grew up back in the late 60 and 70. They played for for my Senior Prom back in 72. My husbands band played all over the south with them. This is a very hard game to win on!

Not too bad, nice hit. You know as a kid, this song played on TV in the 80s for the L'legs pantyhose commercials. I didn't know who ZZ Top was, and thought it was just an awesome original song created for the commercial!

I found a game Rock You Queen put out by Aruze maybe 6 years ago. Here's a link to a YouTube post. https://youtu.be/15Iys1X9y5I I was hoping for some Bohemian Rhapsody but didn't get it. I don't know if that is considered 80's or not. My musical tastes run more to the late 40s - 70s I'm afraid. Too bad about copyright/audio problems with these films recently. Except for that problem, your game is excellent, as always.
