Brooklyn Bootleggers: Design and Theme
🖼️ Graphics
In the base game, everything revolves around the dark streets of 1920s Brooklyn: brick walls, barrels of bootlegged whisky, and the cold glow of lamps reflecting off revolvers and polished shoes. The symbols include gangsters, suits, and stars on wooden panels, creating the feel of an old bar.
In the bonus round, the action shifts to an underground warehouse: crates, bottles, and dim light seeping through small windows. A Lock Up cage appears on the screen, and the rewards table hangs on the side like a police report.
🎶 Sound
The sound design captures street chaos: sirens, car noise, distant shouts, and short jazz-style musical inserts. When the bonus is triggered, everything intensifies — echo and metallic clinks appear, as if a real raid is happening in the room.

Special Symbols
To better understand how to play Brooklyn Bootleggers, remember two key elements — the Wild and the Scatter. These are the symbols that trigger the main events and affect payouts.
- Wild (Man in a Dark Hat): substitutes for all symbols except the Scatter. It is also a paying symbol: combinations of 3, 4, and 5 Wilds award x20, x50, and x200, respectively.
- Scatter (Badge with the BONUS label): triggers the Tip Off Free Spins round and expands the Lock Up frame by one column.
- Lock Up (Frame with Bars): activates randomly in the base game or constantly in the free spins. If 4 or more top symbols or Wilds land inside, a payout is awarded according to the multiplier table.
Lock Up Payout Table:
- 4 symbols — x2
- 5 symbols — x4
- 6 symbols — x7
- 7 symbols — x10
- 8 symbols — x20
- 9 symbols — x50
- 10 symbols — x100
- 11 symbols — x200
- 12 symbols — x500
- 13 symbols — x1,000
- 14 symbols — x5,000
- 15 symbols — x10,000
Bonus Game
- Triggered when 3, 4, or 5 Scatters land.
- For 3, 4, and 5 Scatters, you receive 3, 5, and 7 free spins, respectively.
- In every spin, the Lock Up frame is permanently active and also pays according to the multiplier table.
- When 3, 4, or 5 Scatters land again during the bonus, +3, +5, or +7 spins are added, and the frame expands again until it reaches its maximum size of 5x3.
RTP, Volatility, Max Win
RTP — 96.25% (game versions with 94% and 87% also exist). Volatility is medium-high. The maximum win is capped at x10,000 of the stake.
Our Verdict
Brooklyn Bootleggers feels like a calm slot with rare but meaningful moments. In the base game, wins are usually moderate, but once Lock Up activates, even a small combination can noticeably shift the balance. The bonus doesn’t appear often, but its potential is genuine — the frame grows, and every hit feels purposeful.
The slot suits players who enjoy straightforward yet tense rounds without unnecessary fuss. If you want something more hardcore, try Tombstone R.I.P — a cowboy slot with harsher maths. And if you’re looking for something in between, consider Dead or Alive 2 Feature Buy with its three different bonus modes.
