Game overview
Narcos is a slot game developed by NetEnt that incorporates a crime-themed narrative inspired by the Narcos series. The game uses a 5-reel, 3-row structure with 243 ways to win.
The base game operates with standard symbol combinations forming the core gameplay, including symbols depicting cartel members, weapons, and thematic icons. Bonus features are triggered by specific symbol arrangements.
A key feature of Narcos is the Locked Up bonus, activated by landing a special symbol, which leads to pick-and-click mini-games and free spins with multipliers. Additional mechanics such as wild substitutions and bonus symbols enhance potential payouts and gameplay variability.
Narcos is generally classified as a medium-to-high volatility slot. Base game outcomes occur with moderate frequency, while bonus rounds introduce higher variability and opportunities for significant payouts. These characteristics are governed by the game’s internal mathematical model.
From a technical perspective, Narcos uses a random number generator (RNG) to ensure that each spin and feature event is independent and operates according to fixed rules.
