Get ready to join the gangster family and start selling liquor with Bucksy Malone, the new gangster in town who has excellent connections on the black market. We are travelling back in time, to the era of prohibition in America, when everything was about booze, mafia, gun shooting and pretty ladies.
Bucksy Malone is an action-packed five-reel slot with 40 adjustable paylines, brought to us by Saucify. Malone does not work alone, so expect to meet his entire gang, who are there to help him get the job done. Apart from enjoying the sweet life during prohibition, gamers will also benefit from Random Wilds, Free Spins, Multipliers and Instant Coin Prizes!
Time to meet the entire family! The most important symbol in the 2011 release, after Bucksy of course, is the Boss, the man that runs the whole operation. This dangerous old man that reminds us of Godfather acts as Wild, substituting for all regular symbols, but is also the symbol that pays the most. Bucksy Malone is the Scatter that triggers the Whiskey Run feature, while his main hitman, the Crazy Assassin, acts as another Scatter that activates the Free Spins feature, but also delivers coin prizes.
Piccolo, the Boss’s bodyguard is the highest-paying regular symbol, followed by the attractive Lady. This is a proper gangster story, so there will also be lots of Cars, Machineguns, Whiskey Barrels, Money, Razorblades, Knuckledusters, Hats and, of course, Spaghetti.
It will not take you long to learn the ways of the mafia in the 2011 release, because the Boss made sure that the rules of the game are simple, so as to enable all participants to follow them correctly, or else… The slot features five reels, three rows and offers 40 adjustable paylines. Once you set the desired number of lines, decide how many coins you want to place per line (1-10). Next, set the coin denomination somewhere between $0.01 and $0.25, and you are ready to spin the reels.
Winning combinations are formed left to right, beginning from the far left reel, while three of a kind is the minimum for landing payouts. This does not include Piccolo and Lady since these two will also reward you for two of a kind. The command list is placed beneath the reels and is very easy to use, while everything you need to know about Bucksy Malone can be found in the Paytable.
This is where the action starts, so get ready. First, we will talk about Random Wild. Every now and then the Crazy Assassin will appear on the reels and shoot at one of the symbols on the reels, turning it into a Random Wild. This only happens during the base game, while in free spins the Assassin will lay low.
Once you land three or more Bucksy Malone Scatters on the reels, the Whiskey Run feature will start. Gamers are taken to a back alley, where Bucksy will offer 6 barrels of moonshine. Your task will be to pick three of them and reveal your instant coin prizes.
Crazy Assassin also acts as a Scatter, and three or more of them on the reels will trigger the Free Spins feature. Punters get 10 freebies and, depending on the number of Scatters landed, a 2x, 3x or a 5x multiplier on every win. Sadly, the feature cannot be retriggered.
After every win, you can decide to go and pay a visit to the Boss. He will greet you cordially and give you a chance to double or quadruple your winnings if you guess the correct colour or the suit of a hidden card. But, if you make a mistake, Piccolo will show you the way out.
The biggest prize in the 2011 release is set at 60,000 coins. This is how much the Boss is prepared to give to his loyal members of the mafia family. He himself will get you 6,000 coins for five of a kind. His bodyguard Piccolo rewards gamers with 1,200 coins for the same combination. Plenty of cash can be won in both Free Spins and Whiskey Run features. The Theoretical Return to Player is 91.8%.
You will have the impression that you are in the midst of a gangster movie, thanks to plenty of action incorporated and crisp graphics. Once you join the mafia, it is pretty hard to leave, so prepare to spend hours playing this amazing game. Benefit from Random Wilds, Whiskey Run and Free Spins, visit the Boss from time to time if you think that you can guess the hidden card, so as to boost your balance to the max and win a substantial amount of cash you can use as a retirement fund once you decide to leave the business.
