Lucky Luciano Slots
The life of crime that is portrayed in Mafia-themed TV shows and films often looks quite exciting - classy cars, stylish suits and extravagant party lifestyles. That is until everything falls apart and everyone ends up either in the ground or in a prison cell! Well, what if we told you that you could be in the Mafia without any risk of sleeping with the fishes? That is exactly what you can do with this Lucky Luciano video slot from The Art of Games.
There is still some risk involved in this one armed bandit - at least if you want to play for real money. Still, the potential returns of a 2,500x line bet multiplier might just be worth it. Plus, lucky punters can also enjoy some bonus game features, including a round of free spins and a special bonus pick me game.
Meet Lucky Luciano
The real Lucky Luciano might not have gone down in Mafia folklore like Al Capone, but he’s definitely up there with the worst of them. Born in Italy in 1897, his family emigrated to America when he was nine years old, and the mean streets of New York led the teenage Luciano into gambling, gangs and crime. However, it was during the Prohibition years of the 1920s that Lucky began to make a name for himself as a seriously unrighteous chap, working within the big Mafia organisations who sold bootleg liquor and ran other illicit substances. And by 1931, the power had evidently got to Luciano’s head as he took out various Mafia bosses to become the top crime lord in the US.
Lucky Luciano has been portrayed in numerous TV shows and films, the most recent of which was HBO’s excellent Boardwalk Empire. And now the infamous Mafia boss has been immortalised in the world of gambling thanks to this free Lucky Luciano slot machine. Admittedly, the reels don’t look quite as glamorous as they could do, but there are plenty of visual nods to the underground crime world with symbols depicting Tommy guns, safes full of cash and police cars in front of the New York skyline.
What Would You Do for a Fortune?
The beauty about this online slot machine is that you can spin it for the chance to win a fortune safe in the knowledge that you aren’t doing anything to break the law (so long as you are old enough and allowed to gamble online in your jurisdiction)! All you need to do to be in with a chance to win some cash is to place your bets on the 5 reels and 15 paylines. When all paylines are active, the minimum total wager is just 0.15, while there is a top limit of 45.00 coins for high rollers.
Regardless of how much you are willing to wager, the potential returns will all be the same in proportion to the bet. You can see all of the prize payouts in the paytable, the biggest of which is a 2,500x line bet multiplier which is awarded when five Lucky Luciano character icons appear in a payline formation.
Bonus Bounty
There are plenty more ways to win in this game beyond that high-paying jackpot. For starters, spinners can hope to find some wild badge icons to help them complete those all important winning sequences on the reels. The only icons that cannot be replaced by the wilds are the game’s two scatter symbols, simply because these icons don’t need to land on a payline to reward players with their fun bonus features. The Tommy gun scatter can award up to 18 free spins and the scattered safe will unlock a pick ‘em bonus game which gives gamblers the chance to win some instant prizes.
A Life of Crime
While we would never recommend that punters take up a life of crime, we cannot deny that there is something strangely glamorous and appealing about the world of the Mafia. Many of the latest slot machines are based on the gangster lifestyle with titles such as The Slotfather by Betsoft, Don’s Millions by Cayetano and Gangster Gamblers by Booming Games. There are even some games which put a silly twist on the serious themes, such as The Dogfather by Microgaming and Mobster Lobster by Genesis Gaming.
Crime Doesn’t Pay - Except in this Slot
If you’re into your Mafia movies, then you might just enjoy a few spins on this Lucky Luciano slot machine. The game’s design might not be the best in the business and it does look a little bit on the dated side, but there is nothing disappointing about the prize-winning potential, not to mention the opportunity for free spins and a fun bonus game. The slot is also optimised for Android and iPhone devices.
