Take a step onto the set of a film noir with this game entitled Chicago, a popular online slot by Novomatic. Put on your trilby, brave the rain and the storms as you walk the criminal-infested streets of Chicago, where the mob reigns the land. Played with a five-reel, 20-payline engine, this volatile slot comes with amazing graphics and a bonus feature where up to 24 free spins can be won, complete with multipliers that can top 10x.

The visuals in this game feature a grainy feel that would definitely take players all the way back to the 1930s and Prohibition-era America. Chicago takes you to the times when the mafia clans dominated the Windy City and earned one massive payday after another. The game has a very striking design in noir style and an aptly-composed soundtrack.

When you're playing this slot, it really does feel like you are watching an old movie wherein Humphrey Bogart just might pop up on the screen at any given moment. The sepia color scheme makes you feel like you're wandering around a set at an old Hollywood set while also producing quite a somber atmosphere. It's like you can feel the tension building on the streets of Prohibition-era Chicago.

The great news for new players is that the gameplay is fairly easy. All of the controls are neatly displayed in front of you and they are very easy to follow once you get the hang of things.

The three numbered boxes in the middle of the panel are the main controls. Here you can select how many of the 20 paylines you wish to bet on and how many coins you wish to wager. To the left, you would also find an autoplay button, where you can spin the reels automatically while you take a break from the murky Chicago air. To the right, you would find the start button, which spins the reels for you. There is also a gamble button, which unlocks one of the extra features.

In the background, you can see the grey murky sky along with the occasional skyscraper piercing through the mist. The symbols also show some staple characters from the film noir genre, including the run-down sheriff and the scruffy gangster smoking a cigar.

Given the theme, this is a pretty volatile slot with a very high variance. Trigger the free spins, collect a decent win then boost it with a big multiplier and some bumper heists if possible. With a great design and a top-notch feature, this trip to Chicago is one that is well worth taking the risk for.

FEATURE SYMBOLS

Set against a cityscape backdrop, the reels include standard playing cards alongside a cheeky looking kid and a uniformed cop that pays up to 25 times your stake. Next comes the gangster's moll which awards up to 40 times your stake. Best of all is Al Capone and Eliot Ness. 3, 4 or 5 of these in combination will get you 2.5, 25 or 100 times your total stake.

The Chicago skyline symbol is the wild. Apart from replacing all other symbols apart from the scatter, it could also deliver some mighty payouts. 2, 3, 4 or 5 on a single payline and you'll win 2.5, 12.5, 125 or 500 times your bet.

BONUS ROUNDS

Bottle Shooting

Not only does this slot feature a very attractive and enticing visual style, but it also has a unique bonus round as well. Land three or more of the scatter symbols on the reels and you would be able to play a bottle shooting mini-feature. All you have to do is aim and fire at the bottles and see how many of them you hit. The more you hit, the higher your multiplier will be. This can be an incredibly valuable bonus, especially if you are able to hit several of the bottles.

When you get three of the scatter symbols, you also get 12 free spins along with the bottle shooting feature. This is where you can really take advantage of the multipliers you win and grab hold of some winning combos at no additional cost. There is always the chance that three more scatter symbols would fall during the free spins as well, meaning that you could end up with more than the initial 12 spins after all.

Gamble Feature

If you feel like you have the nerve of a mob boss or a disgruntled PI, then you might be interested in playing the gamble feature. It is a bonus option where you can gamble your winnings on a 50/50 chance. When you hit a winning spin, the gamble feature would ask you to pick the color of a card drawn at random from a deck. If you guess correctly, you would walk away with a 2x multiplier. If you are feeling lucky, then you would have the chance to guess again with the view of earning a 5x multiplier. Guess incorrectly though, and you will not only lose your multipliers and your winning from the spin as well.
