Belle Rock Pokies Review

If you're expecting a pokie about a rock 'n' roll goddess based on the title, like we were, prepare to be disappointed.

Instead, what we have is a simple, uncluttered 5-reel slot. With only 9 paylines it feels more like a 3-reel slot or fruit machine, but has a vintage feel that you might just find charming.

Theme

This very simple game is based on the interior of a land-based casino and uses a distinctive red felt background and reel icons featuring cards, poker chips etc. as a result.

There's nothing wrong with the graphics per say – they're crisp and clear – but there certainly isn't anything compelling about them either. It's clear that the designers made a decision to keep things simple visually and focus on offering simple, intuitive gameplay instead.

The game is also designed to function as an advertisement for casinos in the Belle Rock group – JackpotCity, Gaming Club, Lucky Nugget and River Belle – and most of the bigger winning reel icons reflect this. Using a slot title as an advert might seem a bit strange, but we suppose that getting some extra exposure can't hurt them.

Gameplay

The best we can say about Belle Rock's gameplay is that it's very simple – there isn't a lot of clutter or complicated features to learn about before you can start playing.

The Belle Rock symbol is wild but also doubles wins – we love multiplier wilds here – which is a nice touch. Plus, there's a bonus round with 15 free spins and a 3x multiplier which is rapidly becoming par for the course.

We have to say, we'd love to see some additional bonus rounds...maybe that referenced some of Belle Rock Entertainment's signature slots titles in an interesting way? Alas, that's not to be, and there are only free spins to keep you going here.

The game has a decent range of coin values, with possible bets ranging from a few cents to almost 50 AUD per spin. Whatever the size of your bankroll, you'll find the appropriate action at Belle Rock.

One thing that might disappoint some players is that the game only has 9 paylines, which is a far cry from the 243 ways to win on offer in many Microgaming slots. On the other hand, if you find it difficult to keep track of so many paylines, this might be just the game for you.

Added Value

With a base jackpot of just 10,000 coins and very simplistic gameplay, it's difficult to imagine players coming back to this slot time and time again. After all, there are no 3D animations or fancy cinematics to keep you entertained.

Still, the game's undemanding nature makes it well suited to playing on a mobile device such as a smartphone (particularly one that may be due for an upgrade) or tablet. Overall, the game is a solid title that's worth your time, but there's nothing about it that's going to make you jump for joy.

Summary

One part advertisement for a gambling group and one part slot machine, there's just nothing particularly exciting about Belle Rock. The reel symbols and so on are very generic and the bonus round, 15 free spins with a 3x multiplier, is par for the course in most slots too. 9 paylines and a fairly modest jackpot of just 10,000 coins aren't going to do much to keep players coming back either, so it's unlikely that you'll be returning to play it again and again. One good thing we can say is that the game's simple graphics and gameplay make it a decent choice for mobile gaming.
