Ritchie Valens La Bamba Slots

We are pretty sure that everyone on the entire planet has both heard of and will remember the famous song and singer that this game is made after. At least they will for sure remember the song, as it has lived far beyond its original creator. Although that rising star was ripped from us at the young age of 17, the song that he made has gone on to become immortal for a very good reason! Ritchie Valens La Bamba game is a tribute to his wonderful work, and one of the catchiest tunes that anyone has ever created on the face of planet earth, either then or in the time that has passed since!

We personally are huge fans of that song, and love the old timey diner feel that tends to be associated with the work from that era. More than just the song itself, this game is like a time capsule for that time period, which goes a long way for fans that grew up during the era, or at least enjoy that aesthetic. This clearly describes a wide variety of people if the popularity of vintage works is any indication, and we think this game will have a wide audience for anyone that is willing to sit down and give it a listen.

This game, along with others about the Big Bopper and others, are wonderful additions to the licensed slot machine market that we would love to see more of. If you would like to find out how these games won us over so much, we recommend sitting down with this one and giving it a solid try. It is well worth any amount of time that you invest in it, and no matter how long you spend, we have a feeling that you're going to want to put in just a little more, much like listening to just one more song on one of those old-time jukeboxes!

What is This Slot About?

This game is about the famous song La Bamba, and its creator, Richie Valens. Although it's creator is not as well-known unfortunately as the song itself, the song itself is certainly famous enough to make up for that! He had a very signature style and set of iconography that were associated with him, which are heavily incorporated into this game. More than just about the singer himself, however, this game presents that era of human history in America in a way that we can all fondly look on here and remember, even if we are not from that culture. It deeply impacted the music industry forever, and will never be forgotten!

How Does the Game Actually Play?

This game plays just as well as Richie Valens himself, which is saying something! Although we do say that partly in jest, it is still a very good game. Everything you would expect from real time gaming is here once again with a twist, and the accessible betting amounts that can go as high or low as you would like. This makes for a very fun time, and a blast to play and short or long sessions. One thing here that is new, however, is that you can bet on as many pay lines as you would like, which is quite unusual for a game of this kind! Alongside of that are the six reel's that are present, which is entirely different from the usual five. When you add to that a free spins feature that just won't stop, you have a compelling package if there ever was one!

You can match all kinds of wonderful things here, each just as endearing as the last. There is a gramophone, guitar, a record for La Bamba itself, an old time radio, some records by Richie Valens himself, Richie Valens, his shoes, and some tickets to one of his concerts that today would probably be worth about $1 million. Adjusted for inflation, maybe even 1 billion!

How's it Look?

They really did a number on the artwork here, it looking good enough to feature in a film or documentary itself about Richie Valens! It has a very realistic style to it, with just a bit of design flare to keep things interesting. It really does look like the artist here had a lot of fun with it, and was probably a fan of La Bamba itself. The colors here are mostly red and blue, with nice hints of white thrown in, just like the old diners that this game somewhat takes place in. If you love the way those look, imagine a wonderfully done game all about that, and you would get what they ended up with here!

What We Enjoyed

+ Theme + Art

We We Didn't Much Care For

- He died young

Who is the Ideal Audience of this Particular Slot?

We want to say that fans of Richie Valens are the primary target of this game, but that is clearly untrue. Many people remember his work, but he died young enough that not a whole lot of people probably remember the man himself. This game is clearly for music fans, and anyone that enjoys those old-time diners that we all love getting burgers at!

Summing it All Up - Should You Play This Fine Game?

Summing it up, Ritchie Valens La Bamba Slots is a tribute to a wonderful man that was ripped from us far too soon. In fitting style, they made this game way better than it had any right to be, put in very innovative features you're not going to see too often, and made sure that the art budget was high enough that he would have enjoyed it were he still around. We love it, and think you should try it right now!
