Chumba Casino recently released a new slot game: Rocky Horror Show from Fantasma Games, a developer known for their spooky themes.
You don’t need to be an eagle-eyed reader to notice that it draws inspiration from and heavily features imagery from The Rocky Horror Picture Show, a 1975 film that has earned its place as a cult classic. As someone who has been to exactly one (1) midnight screening of the movie, I am undeniably the best fit to give the game a spin and report back. Let’s jump in (or to the left, if you catch my drift).
Chumba’s one of the best-known and most popular sweepstakes casinos in the US at the moment, and a constant stream of new releases like this is part of the reason.

Hands-On with The Rocky Horror Show slot
The Rocky Horror Show slot at Chumba has five reels, three rows, and 25 win lines. Three fixed jackpots are available, offering wins of 30x, 100x, or 1,000x. Players can spin the reels for as little as 10,000 GC or 0.25 SC and as much as 25,000,000 GC or 500 SC. The RTP is 95.76%.
The game largely succeeds at evoking the weird and darkly whimsical vibe of the original movie. The reels are set against a background of a candlelit manor. The symbols are all delightful homages to the movie, including a golden top hat, a corset, and plenty of fan-favorite characters.
Dr Frank-N-Furter serves as the wild symbol, substituting for all other symbols except for Rocky (the bonus symbol) and the cash-on-reels Golden Hats that can trigger the game’s Hold-and-Win feature.
Mega Free Spins
Rocky is a scatter symbol, and he appears only on reels 1, 3, and 5. Land three Rocky symbols anywhere on those reels to nab five free spins. The bonus sticks the three middle reels together with mega symbols—3×3 each. These mega symbols can make for big potential wins.
Hold-and-Win Respins
The Golden Hat symbol can trigger the Hold and Win Respins feature. Six or more of the hats will kickstart the feature, which grants three spins and locks the triggering symbols on the reels. Every time another hat lands on the reels, the spins reset back to three. Play until you lose three spins in a row or fill the reels, then collect the amounts listed on each hat symbol.
When I signed on to play Rocky Horror Show at Chumba, I had only 14,000 GC in my account, barely enough for a single spin—the minimum being 10,000 GC. I was lucky enough to hit the Hold and Win Respins feature on my first try and won a total of 280,000 GC back. That was unexpected, but welcome, for sure! If only I’d been playing with sweeps coins, for a a chance to win some cash.
Rocky Horror Show has three jackpots—Mini, Maxi, and Mega—that can only be won during the Hold and Win Respins feature. When a hat symbol shows a jackpot instead of a GC value, you’ll win the corresponding prize when the feature ends. The Mega jackpot is only granted if you get a jackpot symbol and fill all the reels with golden hat symbols.
