Play Peaky Blinders for Free

Gritty post war crime drama, the Peaky Blinders TV show has been a massive international hit for the BBC and Netflix. So, software developer Pragmatic Play scored a coup in grabbing the license for it. The first big branded license for the growing firm.

If you haven’t seen the series (where were you – off planet?), it’s a loosely historical drama about the Shelby family’s rising criminal gambling empire. Set in Birmingham, England, directly after WW1, the drama is famed for its violence and brooding, dark mood. With its core gambling premise, classy aesthetics and huge popularity, this series was ripe as slot machine material.

Pragmatic Play has done a superb job with the game’s design. The 5x3 reels feature characters and sound clips from the series. Ominous music and unflinching design capture the gritty, urban environment of the coal mining community in which its set.

The game’s features take advantage of the show’s betting theme and high volatility suits the mood. The development team have played it safe, though. There’s less fanfare, spectacle or innovation than we’d expect from such a hugely successful TV show.

All in all, our Peaky Blinders slot review team think Pragmatic Play has done a decent job for its first licensed title. Fans of the show will appreciate a lot of elements of gameplay and players new to it will just enjoy a classy looking crime-themed slot.

The Peaky Blinders slot machine features 20 fixed paylines. Coin value ranges from 0.01 to 0.50 and you can play 1 to 10 coins per line. You can place bets, therefore, from 0.20 to 100.00 per spin.

In the game’s paytable you’ll find your prize payouts according to the line bet you’ve placed. In our table below we’ve listed the prize multipliers for any line bet.

The slick reels of the Peaky Blinders slot machine look superb on your mobile and are ideal for showing off to your commute buddy. Check out our expert guide to get the lowdown on best real money mobile slots sites for the Peaky Blinders slot.

You get the best win opportunities on the Peaky Blinders slot’s four bonus features. The game boasts instant wins, respins and free spins with some decent prizes up for grabs. But these reels are volatile, so you’ll need a good rein on the bank balance to ride the swings.

Just two key symbols will unlock all the game’s special features. Scatters land only on reel 5 and will be either the Shelby Betting Shop symbol or the By Order of the Peaky Blinders symbol. Land either one of these on their own and you’ll trigger its special feature. Land either scatter along with two bonus symbols on reels 1 and 3 and you’ll trigger the corresponding free spins bonus.

Shelby Betting Shop Feature – this is an instant win bonus. Every high paying picture symbol that you landed on the triggering spin will score a random sum. All sums are added to form your prize win. Our Peaky Blinders review team really loved this bonus, which could be generous.

By Order of the Peaky Blinders Feature – trigger this single reel respin and all picture symbols will transform into one random picture symbol for the chance of bigger wins.

Shelby Betting Shop Free Spins – unlock 8 free spins on this bonus, during which you’ll get extra betting shop scatters on reel 5. Each instance of the scatter will trigger the instant prize feature of the base game.

By Order of the Peaky Blinders Free Spins – this bonus awards 10 free spins and, again, you’ll find extra scatters on reel 5. Each instance of a scatter triggers the By Order of the Peaky Blinders respin feature.

You can’t retrigger either free spins bonus and both can be challenging to unlock. It’s also disappointing that your top jackpot win is a potential 2022x bet. Given the volatility and the big hitting theme we’d have expected this game to have a flagship prize package attached.

If you’re craving more action from a top branded slot we have a couple of popular recommendations for you to check out.

NetEnt’s high octane Narcos slot promises turbo speed and feature packed reels with 243 ways to win. The cluster pays can feature multipliers and get symbol upgrades, plus there’s a drive-by shooting bonus and a free spins round for better chances at hitting the 1500x jackpot prizes.

Alternatively, why not try your chances as the law keeper instead of the law breaker? iSoftBet’s superb 24 slot is a popular release for good reason. The pumped-up game takes all the best bits of the TV show and turns it into a great slot. Take out terrorists before the clock beats you and play 10 paylines with free spins for wins of up to 1000x bet.

As a big branded title with a core of ready-made fans to tap into, we found the game a bit safe. We’d have liked to see more innovation, a bit more bite and definitely some more tempting jackpot prizes.

However, if you view it as a non-branded crime-themed slot, our verdict is much more positive. Super cool aesthetics and great features make the Peaky Blinders online slot a very playable game that can reward well.
