The Sopranos Slots - Playtech
ABOUT THE SOPRANOS SLOTS
Themed on the American TV series of the same name, The Sopranos video slot was rolled out by Playtech in November 2012 to great reviews. The New Jersey's most famous family returns to the screens in the five reel twenty-five payline branded slot game, which offers endless win opportunities to casino gamers through the long list of special features.
Main characters from the popular TV drama populate the reels as high value game symbols, meaning you will be seeing Tony Soprano, Paulie, Christopher, Artie, Bobby and Johnny on regular basis. The Sopranos game logo, container and five high cards complete the list. The interesting thing is that each playing card is depicted with an addition icon, such as casino chips, glass of scotch, golden watch, bottle of wine and cigar.
HOW TO PLAY
With bet per line option removed from the equation, the process of placing bets has been seriously simplified. Simply use + and – below 'Lines' and 'Line Bet' to activate up to 25 paylines and choose from ten available coin denominations, ranging from $0.01 to $50. Press spin, bet max or auto play to start the game, or click on 'Info' to check the paytable.
Tony Soprano acts as the Wild symbol, substituting for all but three feature icons to complete winning combinations. The Wild also awards payout on its own. The Sopranos Logo is Scatter and while it unlocks the Crime Family Free Games, it also pays out Scatter Wins for three or more icons in any position.
EXTRA FEATURES
Playtech clearly wanted to do The Sopranos TV series proud with their branded slot machine, introducing a host of highly rewarding extra features. The Crime Family Free Games come with four different modes – Solider, Capo, Boss and Family, whilst Raid Bonus, Bada Bing Bonus and Stolen Goods Bonus offer players additional opportunities to strike it rich.
Bonus Round
The main bonus round is titled Crime Family Free Games and it is triggered when three or more scattered The Sopranos Logo icons occur in any position.
