The Slotfather Part II

The Slotfather Part II

The second part of BetSoft’s epic mafia classic is now available. This time it is no longer about taking part in the group but to go from henchman to top Don. Not only are the wins easier to achieve but BetSoft has also worked on improving the grainy graphics and the soundtrack is even better than that of “The Slotfather I”. What made the last video slot a classic was the fact that it combined a very popular theme with innovative game features. In this game review, we will see if “The Slotfather Part II” lives up to the expectations that players have after the classic of the first Slotfather game.

This slot machine game was first released in March of 2017 and has quickly become not only a classic but one of the game supplier’s most popular games. BetSoft has worked hard to improve an already great game and one of the things it has done which have had big importance for the availability of the game is that it has created this game on an HTML5 system making it available across all platforms. Moreover, the supplier continues to secure the fairness of their games by being tested by independent international testing agencies Quinel and GLI (Gaming Labs International). In addition to the independent testing, they are also licensed and regulated by the Malta Gaming Authority and the Curacao eGaming Authority.

Details

Like the previous Slotfather game, this video slot is built by 3-rows and 5-reels but instead of having 30 pay-lines this game has a total of 243 ways to win! The Return to Player (RTP) percentage has also increased from 95.69% to a more interesting 96.6%. The betting range has also been slightly altered as they now range from a minimum (Coin size + Level) €/£/$0.5 while the maximum bet is €/£/$125. The slot machine is a medium volatile slot which opens it up for players who enjoy medium to high stakes. This slot machine is no longer a progressive slot but that does not mean that there are no big wins to claim. The maximum possible win amounts to 1693500 coins which are still impressive for a slot machine which does not have a jackpot.

One of the most significant features of “The Slotfather I” was the lack of a Wild. This has now been addressed and a Wild has been added. The Wild symbol is easy to spot, and it will as most wilds do, substitute all symbols except the scatter symbol. The Wild symbol only appears on reels two and four in the base game while it can appear on reels two, three, four and five in Free Spin mode. “The Pisa tower”, “The butcher’s knife” as well as the “Cigar” and the “Cash bundle” symbols are the low valued symbols while “The card game” and “The Mafia boss” are the high-value symbols. “The Truck” symbol is in this game the scatter and there is also a “suitcase” symbol which only appears after the Free Spins. In addition to these symbols, the game also includes three gangster symbols, these can activate a special game feature and are also high-valued symbols.

It is hard not to compare this game with its predecessor, but it feels like BetSoft saw problems with the original and worked on them for this video slot. At times “The Slotfather I” would seem messy with a lot of symbols and numbers covering the base game. In this slot, the symbols have been cleaned up and it is more aesthetically pleasing making it a more relaxing game to play. Another issue that we at FindFairCasinos had with “The Slotfather I” was the fact that it was built on a Flash system requiring downloads for it to work on desktops and it rarely working on hand-held devices. This is, as we previously mentioned, something that BetSoft has fixed by building this game on an HTML5 system. This means that the game works on smartphones, tablets, laptops and desktops regardless of what browser is used.

Game Features

Game features are always the spice that attracts new players and keeps old players coming back for more. If the features are good the players will be loyal to the game. The most impressive thing with “The Slotfather I” was its entertaining and thrilling game features and it is therefore interesting to see if “The Slotfather Part II” can live up to these high expectations. As already mentioned, there is a Wild symbol which substitutes for all symbols except the scatter. In addition to this, we have also mentioned that there are a Base Game and a Free Spin feature, how to activate this feature will be discussed in this section.

Free Spins and Big Boss Bonus

To activate the Free Spins three or more scatter symbols should be landed in the base game. Three Scatter symbols will award 8 Free Spins, four scatters award 13 free spins, and 5 scatter symbols awards a whooping 20 Free Spins. During the free spins, all wins and payouts are doubled. It is also possible to spin further Free Spins if more scatters are spun. After the Free Spins a special Big Boss Bonus will be awarded which results in instant credit wins.

In addition to this just spinning two or more scatters will award the player with credit prizes.

Gangster Bonus

There are three giant symbols in the game, and these three gangster symbols which are not only high value but also activate a special game feature. In case that the player spins three of these symbols and they cover the entire reel the bonus game will be activated and a new game will open up where there are six folders each containing a different prize and you can keep collecting these folders until the symbol “collect” appears. Everything you have collected until that point will then be added to a total win. Depending on which gangster activates the feature the prize will differ. Fat Tony, Frankie “Knuckles” or Snake Eyes Sammy are the possible gangsters that can be spun.

If the player only manages to spin two of the “Gangster” symbols the game will automatically award the player with a Gangster Respin, hopefully landing the player a third symbol and therefore activating the Gangster Bonus.

Double Up Game

This is a feature that can be triggered after any standard win. It makes it possible for the player to gamble their win and hence double up. This feature is not available after Free Spins, Big Boss Bonus or the Gangster Respins. The player can decide whether or not they want to gamble the entire win or just 50% of their win. In this extra game, the player needs to guess if the coin will land on either Heads or Tails. If the player guesses right the win will double up.

Conclusion

We all know that sequels usually struggle to keep up with the prequel. It is often hard to beat the original but, in this case, BetSoft has outdone themselves. The graphics are better, the music is better, the animations are better. The game works across all platforms and on all devices thanks to it being developed on an HTML5 system rather than a flash system. The game is now a medium volatility game which makes it attractive to more types of players. The features are fantastic, they are thrilling, exciting and there is the possibility for big wins.

We recommend this slot machine to all of our players as its features combined with the graphics are one of a kind. To play this slot machine try one of these FindFairCasinos recommended online casinos:
