Gangster Gamblers Slot Review

We are all the same us gangsters; I mean gamblers. We all think we are part Al Capone. Whenever I sit at a table or in front of a slot with a whiskey in one hand and a cigar in the other, I step into Godfather mode untouchable and able to rule the world with a single swing of the reels. Then again make-believe has always been my strong point. Like the time I convinced my teacher in preschool my parents had left me to run the house by myself while they took a 2-week vacation. The parents weren't too happy when child services were at their doorstep.

I played Gangster Gamblers on my laptop, mobile phone and tablet. All three allowed the Chinese triad to perform their dark and violent business dealing with ease. The reels are set on a dark alleyway. There is only black, white and red used to depict the dark underbelly of the Chinese gangsters and their dealings. The symbols on the reels have been well designed and are a combination of real-life depiction and symbolized images. The music is more American gangster style, however, does elude to impending danger. The sum-total of gameplay is free spins.

Gameplay

Gangster Gamblers make their magic on 5 reels with just 15 pay lines. The slot offers medium volatility.

The symbols on the reels are ideally suited to this nefariously themed slot. They include playing card numbers 3, 8 and 9. These symbols pay the least on the reels.
Higher paying reel symbols include a retro car, sushi, written letter, a man kneeling with his hands tied behind his back and a cop with a gun and badge.
All symbols come alive when they are part of a winning combination.

The other symbols that are important in this game are:
The Wild which is an oriental lady and she in her attempt to assist with further winning combinations can replace all other symbols except the Scatter.

The Scatter symbol is a man's chest with colorful patterns which changes into his face with sunglasses on.

There is also a Free Spin symbol.

The bloody controls are there to ensure you don't get caught up in gangster shenanigans. The red buttons include all the mechanisms you will need to play this game with ease. Note, the rules and the paytable ore in separate areas. You will find the pay table to the left on top of the reels and the information to the left on top of the reels.

Features

3 or more Scatters that land during the base game will trigger the free spin round with 10 free spins. During this round, a book will pop up on your screen. The pages of the book flip through, each one containing a different symbol. You will select one, and it will become an expanding wild to encourage more wins for you. This expanding symbol can replace any symbols on the reels.

The free spin round can be retriggered during this feature if you land 3 or more Scatters during the round.

Unique Features

2 or more Scatters will award you with x2 multiplier on your bet.

Maximum Win

Gangsters of the gambling world offer a worthwhile 60 000 coins for a maximum win.

Performance

The live symbols on the reels made for exciting viewing and the move away from the traditional Al Capone mobster style gang reels were refreshing. This was a more accurate and violent look at gangs than the usual Hollywood style interpretation. The gameplay itself was a bit too simple for my liking. A gangster style theme coupled with the gambling aspect, I felt should have provided us with a lot more gambling options.

Conclusion

A very well animated and theme relevant slot, which I think will appeal to gamblers and gangsters alike, both new and veteran.
