What Are The Best Crime And Gangster Slot Machine Games?

Whether or not you are going to decide on playing one particular online slot over another could well come down to how much money it costs to play, how much you could possibly win; or it could come down to the theme of the slot. Everybody likes an online slot machine game with a theme that is appealing to them. But with so many online slots acting as mere copies of others, how can you tell what the best slots are in any given category? What are the best crime or gangster themed slot machine games for instance?

Movie Themed  Gangster Game

Obviously, the most attractive crime or gangster slot machine game is one based on a hit movie. The Scarface online slot (named after the film), is a five reeled, twenty pay line masterpiece from Swedish company Net Entertainment. Although it is a non-progressive jackpot slot game, it does come with a pot of twenty thousand coins, or ten grand in real money if you prefer. Scarface slots has wild symbols and free spin rounds worked into its design, although there are certainly no multipliers or oddly enough, scatter symbols in the slot machine game. Net Entertainment did decide to incorporate a bonus game into this slot release, and of course it all revolves around Al Pacino’s scene on the staircase. Aiming your gun at the hit men, you must take them out to reveal rewards and bonuses. It’s all very mafia, but that’s the point of a gangster game isn’t it?

Crime Based Slot Game

Also by NetEnt is the Thief slot game. This rather predictable title is exactly what its title suggest, a crime based slot machine game. With twenty five pay lines, spread over five reels, this non-progressive jackpot slot isn’t half as challenging as Scarface and is made more for the beginners in the genre, rather than seasoned veterans.

With a jackpot of two and half grand, wild symbols, scatter symbols, a free spins round and maximum wagers of 125.00, and it might not seem your cup of tea at first. However, the design of the slot shouldn’t be underestimated and for beginners it is just perfect. There are no complicated screens, the imagery is simple if predictable, and the features make it all too easy for a player to master it.

Reel Crime Games

The Reel Crime series is a selection of video slots that have been specially designed for this category of games. Designed and developed by Rival Gaming, there are two titles currently in the series. Bank Heist is the first of those, with the sequel being entitled Art Heist. Reel Crime 1 (Bank Heist), is a five reeled, fifteen pay line slot game, that features a small animated story as it is played that is the perfect blend between gangster and crime. With a maximum wagering limit of 75.00 it is remarkably cheap to play, and the imagery includes classic knuckle dusters, batons, money bags and hats. The game has also been skilfully designed to represent an earlier time of heists, perhaps nineteen forties to fifties I would be inclined to say.

The sequel – Reel Crime 2: Art Heists –is far classier in appearance. The icons in this slot are paintings, and everything looks cleaner, finer and far more expensive. However, that aside, the basic game play structure and features remain the same. Both Reel Crime slots have the same number of pay lines, the same betting limits and roughly the same jackpots. Both can also be played for free at many casinos if you’re interested in testing them out, and there are more Reel Crime slots rumoured to be on their way in the not too distant future.

Crime and gangster slots might seem an odd topic for an online slot game, but how else are you going to get your bars of gold, cracked saves and briefcases full of money imagery if not for crime and gangster slots?
