The Slotfather Slots

Based on a number of classic gangster flicks, The Slotfather takes you inside of a mafia family that makes their money putting out slot machines across the city. Unlike many Betsoft games, this isn't such a light-hearted affair because it's filled with guns, bullet holes, and rivals trying to take out The Slotfather.

Tagged with the quote "I want to offer you a jackpot you can't refuse," this game seems to be a good take on mobster movies. But is it really? Find out as we discuss the symbols, betting options and features from The Slotfather.

Symbols and Theme

You won't have any trouble identifying the theme in this game since it's complete with gangsters, cash, guns, and classic Italian music. Symbols include Frankie "da Fixer," Sammy "Quickfingers," a suitcase full of money, classic car, wine, a Tommy Gun, spaghetti, map of Italy and a newspaper headline.

As for betting options, this falls in line with many of Betsoft's other slots since you can change coin size from $0.02 to $1.00, coins per line from 1-5 and paylines from 1-30. This allows you to bet a minimum of $0.02 and a max of $150 per spin.

The Slotfather Features: Underboss Scatter and Multiplier Mob

The Slotfather offers four notable features, beginning with the Sneaky Instant Win. This is triggered when you get Sammy Quickfingers beside the suitcase full of cash on reels 1, 2 or 3. Sammy reaches into the suitcase to grab money, then pulls it back into his reel, and your credit win is then added up.

Another feature is Multiplier Mob free spins, which you trigger by getting Frankie da Fixer and a Tommy Gun side by side on reels 1, 2 or 3. Frankie grabs the gun and starts shooting bullet holes all over the reels. You are then asked to pick one of the bullet holes to reveal your number of free spins (3 to 10) and multiplier (1x to 3x).

You can also look forward to an Underboss Scatter, which, while a little confusing, does award some nice payouts. Specifically, Underboss symbols anywhere on the reels award 50 credits (3 symbols), 100 credits (4 symbols) or 300 credits (5 symbols). Other scatter prizes are awarded for getting 2 symbols of Frankie (30 credits), Sammy (25 credits), cash-filled suitcase (20 credits) or the classic car (15 credits) anywhere on the reels.

Finally, if the Slotfather appears 3x or more in a payline, you are taken to a second screen where you must decide what business to put the boss' slot machines in. You choose 3 out of 6 locations and are awarded for each one. You then go back to the Slotfather's hangout, where he congratulates you on a job well done and you're given your winnings.

The Slotfather Mobile Slots

If you have a smartphone or tablet, keep in mind that Slotfather is available on Android, iOS and Windows Phone devices.

Anybody who loves old mafia movies like The Godfather or Goodfellas will certainly appreciate the slots twist on this genre. We especially like how you're asked to put slot machines in different city locations during the bonus round. The whole scatter situation can be a little confusing, but who cares when you've got 5 different ways to earn a scatter payout?
