About PEAKY BLINDERS SLOT
As inspiration for this high volatility slot game, Pragmatic Play used the narrative of a brutal Birmingham interwar mafia family. It’s not only that Peaky Blinders is one of the most popular TV shows of recent years. Shelbys, who rose from the Midlands’ working-class slums to fame and fortune, own their own casino. Their wealth comes from here. Famous for its bloody boss vengeance scenes, dark and ominous atmosphere, and super-cool soundtrack. However, the top payout of slightly over 2,000x is disappointing for a high variance game that came out in 2020. It doesn’t matter because fans of the program will be rewarded with fun features and smooth gameplay.
PLAN, SYMBOLS AND GRAPHICS
Peaky Blinders has 5 x 3 reels and 20 paylines. So, a pretty standard setup. Bookcases and wood paneling decorate the walls of this Shelby home. Michael, Polly, Arthur, and Thomas Shelby are the family members who appear on the reels as low value symbols. The highest symbol is Thomas, valued 20x for 5 lines. With a Wild symbol, you can generate winning lines by substituting any other symbol for a payout of 20x.
RTP, VARIANCE AND PAYOUTS FOR PEAKY BLINDERS
Featuring a 2,022x top payout, Peaky Blinders slot is a low high volatility game. With many slots now offering high wins of over 10,000x, that’s a modest achievement. You may play for as little as $0.20 per spin and get a 96.5 percent RTP. It’s worth noting that this is a high-volatility slot, so big wins will be locked in the free spins round.
LAYOUT AND FEATURES
On top of that, there is a free spins round that can be fun. Watch for the special scatter symbols. They work like this:
Cash Value – When the Shelby Betting Shop scatter lands on reel 5, any high value symbols on the reels are paid. This is a win.
When the By Order of the Peaky Blinders scatter appears on reel 5, it triggers a re-spin. In order to boost the chances of winning, all premiums and wilds turn into identical symbols.
No Deposit Bonuses
On the first and third reels, the game logo shows. To get free spins, you need to get it on reel 5 with one of the bonus symbols. This scatter gives you 8 free spins with extra scatters on reel 5. You gain 10 free spins with the By Order of the Peaky Blinders scatter on reel 5. No re-triggers exist.
OUR CONCLUSION
This review clearly shows that Peaky Blinders Slot isn’t a new concept in video slots, let alone branded slots. There are few twists and a very basic game mechanic in this straightforward, straight-forward game. A 2,022x win in 2020 did not excite anyone. That the show’s brand alone will sell the game must be Pragmatic Play’s hope. If you’re anything like me, you’ll be wishing this studio had been a little more daring with their work.
