Chicago Gangsters

Malta-based Playson revives the epic 1930s with their nationwide Prohibition, smoke-filled backrooms and fascinating high off the hog lifestyle. This particular gangster plot is spiced up with three Jackpots and a cunning Bonus game.

Theme

The dim-lighted streets of the once nonpareil gangster's capital are full of luxurious cars, handsome men in dark expensive suits, and, of course, beautiful ladies. Nicely designed, the backdrop represents quite a realistic picture of that time but features no animation. There are some glitzy effects on the reels, both during spinning and as a result of hitting wins.

… not one but whole three Jackpots: Mini, Major, and Grand …

All symbols are well-thought and beautifully outlined to match the theme. The armed gangster, his stunning girlfriend, the black limousine, and a glass of whiskey with a cigar make the high-paying grid of a paytable. Similar to many other slots, four low-value symbols are illustrated by the standard playing cards icons A, K, Q, and J.

Get this:

Playing the role of a wild icon, the image of a stunning sunset in Chicago can substitute for any other symbols except the Bonus icons. Plus, it pays exactly the same amounts as the most high-paying regular gangster.

Betting Options and Functions

This heart of America created by Playson has five reels, three rows, and twenty fixed pay lines. The pretty wide range of stakes starts at €0.20 a spin and goes up to €100.

To adjust the gameplay in accordance with their preferences, gamblers can use a wide palette of bets or a MaxBet button. What’s more, the advanced Autoplay mode allows to set up to incredible 999 auto spins. Quickspin option is also available.

Features

Besides the wild symbol, this game also contains Bonus icons illustrated by the various casino tokens and Mystery Symbols, which can be revealed only at the end of a spin. When the reels stop after each spin, each Mystery Symbol is replaced by a random symbol of the same type (wilds are not included).

Striking at least six bonus icons will trigger the Bonus Game…

… that leads to one of the three Jackpots: Mini, Major or Grand.

During the Bonus Game, only bonus tokens land on the reels while six triggers stick there till the end of this feature. At the beginning of the Bonus game, players are provided with 3 re-spins, plus, as a nice addition, each new Bonus icons resets a number of re-spins to 3.

Throughout the Bonus Game, red bonus tokens are complemented by the green and blue casino chips. They are way past important in the whole story since both canny symbols can trigger Jackpots. They appear at random and a blue Mini bonus token activates the Mini Jackpot while a green Major bonus token is in charge of the Major Top Prize.

And here we hit the sweet spot:

Filling all 15 cells on the reels with Bonus symbols will result in triggering the main trophy – the Grand Jackpot!
