They’ve also made it known that gamification will be central to their plans, so expect to find yourself unlocking achievements as you spin the reels.
Become Al Capone’s Right-Hand Man
Slotmotion made its debut on the first of April 2018 with the release of their sensational Al Capone slot machine. It was the culmination of many months of hard work, and it’s already proven a huge success for the Malta-based company.
Al Capone is a 5-reeled slot with nine paylines that transports players to the crime-ridden streets of Chicago during the Prohibition era. Here, you’ll be working as the infamous gangster’s right-hand man, or woman, to earn a slice of the profits from his illegal multi-million-dollar operation. As a member of the Chicago Outfit, you’ll be overseeing the American mobster’s bootlegging, prostitution and gambling businesses, all of which have been depicted on the reels.
The polished symbols begin with six playing card symbols, Aces through to 9s, which have been designed in the style of neon street signs. Al Capone’s love of fat Cuban cigars is showcased next on the pay table, followed by a roulette table, a beautiful blonde lady and a twinkling bottle of moonshine. Just as Al Capone loved the money rolling in, you’ll enjoy the bundles of cash rolling onto the reels as they represent one of the highest-paying symbols.
As you’d expect, it’s Al Capone who represents the most powerful symbol of all. He acts as the wild symbol, where he appears wearing a fedora hat and a smart suit while puffing away on a cigar and aiming his tommy gun.
The other special symbol you need to keep an eye out for is the safe vault. It represents the scatter symbol, and three or more landing at the same time will trigger Corruption Free Spins. This bonus feature will secure you 10 free spins, which Al Capone will oversee as a sticky wild symbol in the central position of the third reel.
During your free spins, you'll be hoping to land winning combinations with corrupt police officers who are under Al Capone’s pay. He will bribe them to remain in place for a respin, providing you with even more chances to win. If a further win is created, Al Capone will expand to cover the second, third and fourth reels for a bonus respin. If another win follows this expansion, he will expand even further to create a wild screen worth 2,000x your stake. Who says crime doesn’t pay?
All Expectations Exceeded
It’s only natural for a new software provider to feel anxious about how its debut slot will be received by the iGaming community. A first release can make or break a company. It can leave players excited to play more of its slots, or it can prove a costly experiment resulting in a black hole on the company’s balance sheet as operators fail to show interest in picking it up. Al Capone has far exceeded Slotmotion’s expectations, and players are very excited to see what’s in the pipeline for future releases.
High expectations were set for Slotmotion from the outset, after their CEO declared that he thought the company would “have a well-established presence in the market for years to come.” Still, he was one of the first to admit that they didn’t expect the sudden success that Al Capone brought on them.
Both Giovanni Paticchio and Raffaele Rampini have expressed their surprise at over €1,000,000 being wagered on Al Capone in less than ten days since its launch. That figure reflects how popular Al Capone has already proven to be, and what a top-quality product the team have delivered to announce their entry into the online slots market where they compete against Nolimit City slots, Spielo slots, and many more.
Final Thoughts on Slotmotion
Slotmotion is a company with significant resources at its disposal, backed by the iGP Group. The parent company is used to success, and will be expecting great results from its latest venture following Al Capone – which proved to be a highly promising start.
So, how is Slotmotion going to follow up such an impressive debut? Well, plans to unveil many more top-quality slots have already been announced. That’s a rather lofty target considering it has only got one release under its belt so far. The team haven’t disclosed what kind of themes they’ll be covering, but we’ll hazard a bet that an ancient Egyptian adventure and an online slot with an Irish theme that sees us chase a rainbow across the green Irish hills are near the top of their checklist.
