Graphics
The graphics evoke historic moments such as the flower power era and Woodstock. The game has a psychedelic vibe that permeates it even though the graphics themselves are somewhat basic. The backdrop is a dreamlike view of a desert, and the game is coloured in pastels.
The game’s graphics also include some different theme-related symbols such as a vinyl record, a heart, a peace symbol, a flower, an eye and a white guitar. The lower values of A, K, Q, J and 10 are also in a contemporary yet vaguely funky font. Jimi Hendrix himself is used as the “wild” symbol. His image can substitute for any other image other than the different scatters which include the Jimi and white guitar, red guitar and “Purple Haze.”
Basic Gameplay Information

Additionally, they set the “level” or the total number of coins per each line. The game’s auto play function spins the reels without any interruption for a specific number of times, and of course, the spin function starts the game.
Bonus Features

Pick and Click

Summary
This game has a medium variance. Most wins hit during the base game. The “Purple Haze” Spins can be the most rewarding since players can receive as many as five wilds on each free spin.
