Speakeasy Boost Review
For those who don’t know, a ‘speakeasy’ was an illicit establishment that sold alcoholic beverages during the prohibition era in the 1920s. Speakeasy Boost is thus set in a seedy looking jazz club, and the female lead singer resembles a certain famous cartoon character.
The game itself is simple enough. You accumulate extra free spins in 3 different meters during the base game grind, and the 3 bonus rounds come with multiplier wilds of either 1x, 2x or 3x. Be sure to check out the paytable, as you’re dependent on the high value mic symbol to get anywhere close to cracking the 52,520x potential.
Speakeasy Boost Features
The redhead female singer is the wild symbol in this game, and she substitutes for all regular pay symbols on reels 2 to 5 only. All symbols can land as split symbols, and this means that they come in double or triple versions. This can lead to massive payouts if you manage to fill the screen with triples or doubles (hint: not easy).
There are 3 different versions of the bonus round in this game, and you accumulate free spins for each of them during the base game grind. You can follow the number of free spins you’ve accumulated in the 3 meters above the reels. Each meter starts with 7 spins, and you can get up to 25 free spins before the accumulation process stops.
The 3 K-Boost accumulation meters correspond to the different tier bonus rounds, and they work as follows:
- 1x multiplier bonus round - awards 7 free spins +1 extra spin per 15 paid spins.
- 2x multiplier bonus round - awards 7 free spins +1 extra spin per 33 paid spins.
- 3x multiplier bonus round - awards 7 free spins +1 extra spin per 50 paid spins.
The meters are saved between sessions, and they are also saved separately for each bet level. There are 3 jazz musician scatters, one for each bonus round tier, and you need 3 of the same kind anywhere in sight to trigger the corresponding bonus round.
The only difference is that the redhead vocalist wilds land with multipliers of either 2x or 3x when you trigger the top 2 tier versions of the feature. The 2x and 3x wilds count as 2 or 3 matching symbols when they land. Landing 2, 3, 4 or 5 bonus scatters during the feature awards 2, 5, 8 and 10 extra spins, respectively.
The HyperBonus feature allows non-UK players to buy the bonus round directly. You can choose between 4 bonus buy options as follows:
- 8 free spins with 2x multiplier wilds costs 34.7x your stake (RTP 96.62 %).
- 12 free spins with 2x multiplier wilds costs 51.9x your stake (RTP 96.90 %).
- 12 free spins with 3x multiplier wilds costs 86.5x your stake (RTP 97.24 %).
- 20 free spins with 3x multiplier wilds costs 143.8x your stake (RTP 97.49 %).
The 200 Spins Speakeasy Boost Experience
We landed small/medium wins regularly in the base game, and the bonus round is triggered at 1:05 into the 2-minute highlights video. We only got the 1x wild kind, but we still landed a pretty solid wild win at the very start. How much we got away with in total can be seen by hitting the play button.
Review Summary
There is no doubt that the K-Boost accumulation system is a decent motivator during the base game grind, and triggering bonus rounds didn’t seem all that hard (might be beginner’s luck, but that’s our impression at least). We also landed plenty of small to mid-sized payouts in the base game, so staying afloat doesn't seem too difficult despite the high volatility.
What we rarely saw however, was double and triple symbols. The prospect of landing a winning combo with nothing but double or triple symbols seems almost unthinkable, not to speak about filling the screen. The good news is that you don’t really need them to win big. You do need the high value mic symbol however, as the second-tier sax symbol pays “only” 729x your stake for a full screen.

If you enjoy Speakeasy Boost you should also try:
- is set in a similar prohibition era jazz club. The wild multipliers can be upgraded in the bonus round, where you can win up to 5,000x your stake.
- is set in a dimly lit jazz club, and you can look forward to low volatility, as well as a wild connections feature. The bonus round comes with up to 11 free spins, and you can win up to 223x your stake. Not a massive potential perhaps, but this is a game jazz enthusiasts can relax with.
- is a somewhat similar game from another developer, and once again you’re entering a smoke-filled, seedy jazz club. The bonus round comes with 10 free spins, and fully expanded 1x, 2x and 3x jazz musician wilds.
