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.
ZZ Top makes a special appearance in this five-reel, 30-line game for the Class 2 market. This concert-like slot experience includes some of the band’s classics like Sharp Dressed Man, Cheap Sunglasses, Just Got Paid, Legs, and Gimmie All Your Lovin’, along with plenty of concert footage that will keep players rockin’.
‘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.

History[edit]
After Idaho outlawed all forms of casino gaming in 1954, 'Cactus Pete' Piersanti moved his slot machine operations from Idaho to the Jackpot town site less than 1 mile (0.6 km) from the Idaho/Nevada border on U.S. Route 93. Piersanti's gaming establishment was named Cactus Pete's Desert Lodge. The establishment of Cactus Pete's and the nearby Horseshu Club in the same year is considered the founding of the town of Jackpot.[3][4]
In 1991, Cactus Pete's completed a $22 million hotel and casino expansion making the property become one of the largest gaming facilities in Elko County. Designed by Steelman Partners, the expansion included adding a 10 story hotel tower, restaurants and an Olympic-sized swimming pool.
Cactus Pete's is one of the largest employers in Southern Idaho.[5]
In 1993, Ameristar Casinos was founded as the parent company of Cactus Pete's and Ameristar Casino Vicksburg.
In August 2013, the property became part of Pinnacle Entertainment when that company acquired Ameristar Casinos.[6][7] In April 2016, the property was sold to Gaming and Leisure Properties along with almost all of Pinnacle's real estate assets, and leased back to Pinnacle.[8][9] Penn National Gaming acquired the operations of Cactus Pete's in October 2018 as part of the acquisition of Pinnacle.[10]
