Gods of Rock Slot
Thunderkick’s Gods of Rock is a highly volatile slot with 6×4 reels and 466 ways to win. The Bonus Meter is filled as the winnings multiply thanks to Unique Charged Wilds.
Slot Features
There are two wilds in this game. In the regular Wild, all pay symbols can be substituted, while in the Charged Wild, we’ll learn more about special abilities that come with it.
Using the Dropping Symbols mechanic, winning symbols are removed from the grid, with new symbols cascading in to fill the voids. The feature continues with every win. Each reel multiplier can reach x11 when the Charged Wild appears, and it increases the multiplier by one whenever it appears.
Charged Wilds – The Charged Wilds explode after increasing the multiplier on the reels, and this eliminates all adjacent symbols. The wild then becomes a regular wild as it tumbles down to fill the lowest possible empty position. The exploding symbols are collected in the bonus meters on either side of the grid, and you need to explode 30 symbols to activate the Wild Encore feature.
Wild Encore will add 1 to 3 Charged Wild symbols at random at the end of the Dropping Symbols feature. As the symbols tumble, more explosions occur, and you must collect 30 exploding symbols in a single spin sequence to trigger the feature. As a result, the meter will reset between paid spins.
Gods of Rock Bonus Round triggers when you collect 55 exploding symbols in a single tumbling sequence. There are eight free spins at the start of the game, and all reel multipliers will carry over. The Reel Multipliers do not reset between spin sequences; however, filling up the Bonus Meter, which is also non-resetting, adds three extra spins to your total.
Verdict
The game offers a unique blend of gameplay, theme, irreverence, and humour. When the band is hot, you’ve got an exciting game that’s guaranteed to keep players entertained.
Omar Siddiqui
Ausaf Siddiqui (also known as Omar Siddiqui) was born in Pakistan in 1966.
During the time he spent working at Fry’s Electronics, he embezzled money, which led to money-laundering and wire fraud, which resulted in him gambling over $162 million in Las Vegas, USA.
Early Childhood
He was born in Pakistan and grew up in the US, but little is known about his childhood.
Fry’s Electronics
Siddiqui began working for an electronics and computer retailer called Fry’s Electronics.
He was promoted to Vice President of the Company in 1999 and was earning $225 000 annually. In an effort to pay higher prices for goods purchased by the Company, Siddiqui made his money by accepting kickbacks from suppliers. Funds were channelled through a shell company called PD International, which he set up.
The Company hid a total of $65.6 million in kickbacks.
A Las Vegas high roller
Siddiqui was addicted to gambling and preferred to play Blackjack. Dealers called him a “blackjack machine” because he liked it when the cards were dealt extremely quickly. A typical bet for him is $200 000.
Arrogant and high-living, he was lavished with luxury suites, private jets, luxurious holidays and casino cash by the casinos.
In addition, they extended him million-dollar credit lines so that when he won at one casino, he used the winnings to repay the credit at another.
Fraud conviction
An Employee saw documents on Siddiqui’s desk in 2005 that showed extraordinary commission payments.
Ultimately, in 2008, the employee exposed his fraud, which resulted in his conviction for money laundering and wire fraud, as well as his jail sentence of six years. This also resulted in him declaring bankruptcy as he could not pay any of his gambling debts.
At the time of his bankruptcy filing, Siddiqui owed $137 million in debt.
