The Godfather (Atlantic Digital)

The Godfather Review

The Godfather is a highly influential movie, and it has inspired slots. Now, 51 years after the film came out, a developer decides to present its own take on the well-known masterpiece.

Visually, The Godfather slot is superb, and you’ll get immersed into the atmosphere from the very first second you load in. The game offers perfect deep aesthetics with its high-end graphics and plenty of animations. The soundtrack is magnificent.

The game plays out across a standard 5x3 reel set with 10 fixed win lines, and players drop in by setting bets from £0.1 to £100 per spin. Highly-volatile, it comes with an RTP of 93.94%, which is way lower than average. Yet, the 25,000x max win is worth the risk.

9 regular symbols make up the paytable of The Godfather slot, split into two sections. The lower one comprises classic A-J card ranks, and the premium collection includes in ascending order whiskey and cigars, horses, olive oil bottles, and Marlon Brando as Don Corleone. You need to land at least 3 low symbols adjacently on the reels to score a payout, while the higher symbols pay from two-of-a-kind and more. Combinations of five card ranks are worth 10x the bet, and premiums pay from 75x to 500x the bet.

The Godfather Slot Features

The Godfather slot makes use of the popular ‘book’ mechanics, but gives it a massive exciting twist. As always, there are special book symbols that act as both Scatters and Wilds at the same time, and landing 3 or more of those anywhere on the reels triggers the feature:

• 3 Scatter symbols - award 8 Free Spins.
• 4 Scatter symbols - award 10 Free Spins.
• 5 Scatter symbols - award 12 Free Spins.

Before the free games kick off, players have a chance to win additional spins, prizes, and extra special symbols in the Hold and Win bonus. Players are awarded 3 respins on special reels where only book symbols can appear. The triggering books lock in place, and all other book symbols are also sticky and reset the respins counter when landing on the reels. Each book symbol displays a random prize, which can be the following:

• Bet Multiplier value from 1x to 10x.
• +1 Expanding symbol
• +1 Free Spin

The bonus ends when the player runs out of respins or all positions of the grid are filled with book symbols. At the end, all prize values are collected and the free spins begin.

Upon the start, a random regular symbol is chosen to become a special expanding symbol, and it’s possible to acquire up to 3 expanding symbols per bonus feature. Special symbols don’t necessarily have to land adjacently and pay in any positions. Whenever a winning combination of such symbols is possible, they expand to cover the reels entirely and award a payout across all 10 win lines. Finally, free spins can be retriggered.

Review Summary

All up, the studio has done an impressive job of creating a slot game based on the legendary movie. Not only The Godfather game is gorgeous on the outside, but the gameplay lurking beneath is equally cosmic. With that said, it’s certainly a must-try for all fans of The Godfather franchise.
