Kiss is a WMS Gaming slot themed around one of the greatest rock bands of all time, and the slot features band members and the original music by the group, as well as an innovative playing style that looks like Kiss designed it!

CasinoWizard loves himself some good old classic rock, but did he love the Kiss Shout It Out Loud slot, just as much?

Let’s find out!

KISS Shout It Out Loud introduction, including RTP and variance

Kiss fans will love the theming of this slot, which takes you to a live concert of the iconic band.

All symbols are related to the band and their on-stage antics. A great little touch is the KISS meter that fills up when you get a winning combination. For every paying win line, the neon sign is lit up a bit more. Get a full screen of identical symbols (100 winning paylines), and the KISS logo is fully lit. It may seem a bit trivial, but CasinoWizard loves these small details in an online slot.

The theoretical return to player (RTP) is 95.90%, a standard value for WMS slots and the slot plays nicely.

The variance is medium, nothing too high, and the game does offer the chance of a big win since there are 100 paylines and many opportunities to land many winning paylines at once.

Gameplay and Pay Table

Kiss has two reel sets, the main reel set, and the colossal reel set. The main reel set has a fairly standard 4×5 board, and the colossal reel set is anything but standard. It features five reels with whopping 12 rows on each, for a total of 60 symbols.

The symbols on the colossal reel set appear exclusively stacked, and the main symbols – the band members – appear as a single symbol 8 rows high. If you happen to land two of them side by side, they’ll turn into a colossal 2×8 symbol.

Each reel set has its own paylines, a total of 100, and 25 of them are on the standard 4×5 reel set, and the remaining 75 are on the colossal reel set. In both cases, the maximum win is five-of-a-kind, so they’re relatively typical paylines, except that the reels are different than what we’re used to and there are more symbols overall.

There are four low-paying card symbols, and four medium-paying symbols related to the band.

Finally, there are two band members, Paul Stanley, and Gene Simmons, that appear as a stacked symbol or a double stacked symbol and are only found on the colossal reel set.

Bonus Features

Three or more Scatters anywhere across both reel sets activate the free spins game. The feature scatter only appears on reels 1, 3, and 5 on the normal reel set and reels 1, 3, and 5 on the colossal reel set.

If you land three Scatters, you’ll get 8 free spins plus a cash prize of 2x your bet. For four Scatters you’ll get 12 free spins and a 5x cash prize, and finally for five or six Scatters you’ll get 20 free spins plus 20x cash prize.

During the free spins, alternate reel stripes are used.

CasinoWizard’s verdict: 3 out of 5 stars

Kiss is an innovative slot that should be tried out by every slot player, regardless of whether you like the band or not that much.

The game is fun to play, the colossal reel set opens many possibilities, and the number of paylines is that big that, paired with stacked symbols, it’s possible to get many winning paylines on the same spin. Maybe they all align, and you get a monster win!

CasinoWizard wants to rock and roll all night and party every day, and the Kiss slot is perfect for getting the job done.
