Gangsters Slots
Say goodbye to all those mod cons - the smartphones, the 3D televisions, even your contemporary fashion for you’re about to go back in time to the swinging 1920s!
The well known gaming company Habanero has recently released a brand new 5-reel, 25-payline slot machine that is teeming with all sorts of vintage goodies, even despite those menacing mobsters adorning a lot of the 3x5 matrix.
It oozes style and opulence, laced with violence and the promise of big cash wins thanks to a progressive jackpot. Then there are the numerous bonus features, free games and scatters to keep the action going and your heart racing. You may be experiencing a trip back to the good ol’ days, but it’s anything but ordinary and mundane.
Welcome to the Family
Every gang back in the day was essentially a close knit family who worked together to get the job done, no matter how gritty; their lifestyles were littered with danger, women, booze and money. It was a turbulent time but an amazing one all the same. That is what you get to immersive yourself in when you play this slot; it isn’t easy to create such a tangible atmosphere, but Habanero have done it beautifully.
Before we even get to the tiles and the various extras, we have to discuss the music that accompanies you through every playthrough, it’s just so in-keeping with the design of the game, and enhances your experience no end. The tracks are jaunty yet sleek jazz numbers, and we can’t get enough of them, it makes us want to break out our Sunday best and get dressed up to the nines.
Moving onto the graphics you’ll see when playing: every icon has been well crafted into something relating to the gangster lifestyle we know (and secretly love). There are Tommy guns, alcohol, smoking cigars, bags of money, hitmen, classic casino games and many other symbols to get to grips with.
Seeing as there is a lot to this game - too much to cover without writing a whole book - we’re going to highlight the most important parts of this activity, mainly its specials. The grumpy looking man holding a gun is your wild, and he is only able to find himself upon the second, third, fourth or fifth reel. When this happens he naturally removes all other symbols except for the bonus one, which happens to be a gramophone. Although the gramophone is the scatter and can reward free games, it does a lot more here, in fact there are five ways the extras can go down.
Players need three of these before anything happens, once they hit that amount a newspaper clipping appears revealing which of these specials you’ve received; four out of five will give you not one, not two but three cash prizes! However, the fifth will deliver you ten free rounds, during which if the wild should appear it will expand and cover the reels it sits upon.
Pay up or Suffer the Consequences
Nobody likes a late payment, especially gangsters, so don’t keep them waiting! Thankfully the mechanics of the game are easy - you set the coin value to establish how much you want each to be worth. Then you move onto the betting level which basically increases your amount to correspond with the level, there is between 1 and 10. After which it’s onto the number of paylines you wish to use, Gangsters has 25 but as they’re not fixed you can play around with them to your heart’s content.
After that is all done and you’re happy with the amount, which by the way won’t be expensive at all as the maximum bet is a mere 2.50 credits, you’re then ready to get spinning. There is an autoplay option for those that welcome speed, and a quick spin feature to boot, but that’s all you really need to know in order to get started.
