Design and Statistics
Cosa Nostra video slot machine is a fitting tribute to the Mafioso world. The characters on the reels look a lot like actors from big mafia films, such as Robert De Niro. The reels of the game are set within an Italian restaurant, well the majority of the films are based around fine Italian cuisine as well as violence and criminal activities.
You will find the following symbols to this game; Mafia boss, mafia henchman, golden pistols, knuckledusters, baseball bat, top hat, stack of coins, grenade and the letters C, O, S and A with Italian patterns. The control panel is situated to the lower of the screen and it’s here that you can view the paytable, activate auto play and set your bet.
Hitting the Jackpot
There is a non-progressive jackpot of up to 20,000 to be won and this can only be triggered by betting maximum stakes of 100.00 a spin. The golden pistols need to fall as five of a kind in order to get your hands on that large cash sum. The Mafia boss awards the second highest payout of up to 5,000 and his henchman awards 4,000.
Trigger the Features
When it comes to slot features, you won’t find a great deal on offer, but what there is has the potential to return big cash and keep you entertained whilst playing. The mafia boss is the wild symbol and he will replace other symbols (except scatter) to help form wining combinations. The other symbols don’t stand a chance when the mafia boss is about – they run for cover.
The golden pistols are the scatter symbol – three or more of these and you’ll get your hands on 10 free spins plus a Cosa Nostra bonus. Free spins can be re-triggered for as long as the scatter symbols keep falling.
The gamble feature is a simple feature allowing you to gamble any base game win for more cash. Hit the gamble button when you trigger a win and you will be required to predict the correct color card to double your winnings. The dealers table will show you the 5 previous cards called, your current win from the base game and the amount you can win. Red options sit to the left and black options sit to the right.
Once you’ve chosen the color you think the card will be, the flashing mystery card will turn over to show the winning outcome. One wrong guess and you lose everything.
Shooting Summary
Cosa Nostra offers the ability to win a maximum of 50,000 whilst playing maximum stakes – this is a combination of hitting the top prize numerous times within the free spins feature. Cosa Nostra slot game is a high variance slot machine, so you will be playing a while before getting any sort of return or even triggering the bonus features. The graphics are superb and are very in-keeping with the theme of the game.
When we were playing, it took a good 30 minutes of playing before we triggered the free spins bonus. The music that plays out is superb, very Italian and 1940s and when certain symbols fall onto the reels, a gunshot can be heard – if the music doesn’t suit you, you do have the ability to switch it off. High rollers will get the most out of the machine, but you’ll need a bankroll that can withstand big losses for long periods.
