Stylised
Inspired by The Godfather series of films, this game uses a host of classic mafia tropes for the symbols including bowls of spaghetti, red wine, tommy guns and suitcases full of cash. The higher value symbols are represented by classic gangster archetypes such as the underboss, the 'fixer', and the Slotfather himself. Visuals are vivid and clean, so key information including paylines, winning lines and bets is always easy to keep track of.
The characters in particular are highly stylised, and alongside the introduction and breakout animations for bonus rounds, there is a cartoon-y visual aesthetic that communicates high quality production values compared to some other pokies available online. Sound is another major feature in this game, with a surprisingly cinematic looping soundtrack and the occasional dialogue from the mobsters.
Prize Table
This pokie has five reels and a total of 30 paylines for you to place your bets on. Prizes are awarded for three, four and five-of-a-kind matches plus instant win, bonus and scatter matches. Bonus features include a combined free spins and multiplier perk, plus a separate bonus game round. The most valuable regular symbol is Frankie 'da Fixer', the man holding the pistol.
Finding five of him in a winning configuration will award you a maximum prize of 200 coins. Conversely, the newspaper is the lowest value and only awards a maximum prize of 40 coins. But this need not be a deal breaker, as in a game like this, even small prizes can soon add up. The Sammy 'Quickfingers' symbol is the man with the glasses and the key to some instant prizes, referred to in-game as a Sneeky Instant Win.
Find him either side of the money suitcase symbol on reels one to three, and he will reach out and grab a handful of the unprotected cash for himself, immediately rewarding you with a random prize. Multiplier Mob is a bonus feature that, as previously mentioned, combines free spins with a multiplier.
Finding Frankie 'da Fixer' either side of a tommy gun on reels one to three will cause him to grab the gun and start firing out of the main game screen. When he is finished, you will have the opportunity to click on one of the bullets, revealing the multiplier and number of spins you have won. You could get anywhere from three to 10 free spins with a maximum of 3x to go along with it.
Finding three or more Slotfather symbols in a winning line triggers the business expansion bonus round. You will be tasked with placing pokie machines in three of a possible six establishments. Once done, you'll be whisked back to the don's restaurant to see how they fare, with bonuses awarded depending on how well they do.
