Reggae legend Bob Marley is famously quoted as saying, “One good thing about music is when it hits you, you feel no pain.” This sentiment explains why music is so important across the globe. Music can be a defining aspect of our cultures, a way to bring us together, a companion in your lonely moments, and an affirming positive force when you’re feeling good. It’s no wonder that online slot developers love weaving music into the themes of the games they create. From hard rock to EDM and ancient folk tunes handed down over generations, our selection of slots below has something for any taste.
1. Ozzy Osborne
NetEnt teamed up with heavy metal pioneer Ozzy Osbourne to create a dark and atmospheric online slot title infused with Ozzy’s iconic music. This 5x3 reel title has 20 paylines and a creepy gothic theme, with the superstar himself appearing as several symbols, along with roses, crucifixes, skulls, and ravens.
Activate the Bonus bet to double your bet and increase your chances of triggering bonus features, along with a few other perks. Landing two scatters triggers a respin and the Symbol Spinner box that adds exciting modifiers to your spins, like multipliers, extra wilds, and symbol upgrades. Land 3 scatters to get four free spins where the Charge Up feature is active on every spin.
2. Astro Legends
Blast off into a cyberpunk neon fantasy with some vaporwave tunes in Foxium’s 9-reel Astro Legends, a slot with an unusual layout and rewarding features. Lyra, a fantastic sci-fi babe with a keytar in hand, is the game’s main character, and she uses her spacey powers to create explosive winning changes. The reel layout is an unusual pyramid of hexagons where precious gems appear as symbols, and a cluster pays system rewards you for grouped matching symbols.
The Sonic Respin feature can trigger on any winning spin, causing all winning symbols to freeze in place for one respin; if any more matching symbols appear, another respin is triggered, and this sequence repeats until no more matching symbols appear. Collect 100 Stardust symbols to activate the 7-layer Lyra Spirit Bonus, where you choose your path and claim big prizes.
3. Guns & Roses

You start with three free spins and an empty grid where only gold balls can appear. Each golden ball will have multiplier values from 1x to 50x.
