New York Gangs is a 5 reel video slot from CTXM. Stunning 3D graphics have been combined with a gangster theme to create an exciting and hugely popular slot. It features two themed bonus rounds, a wild symbol, a dedicated 3,000 coin jackpot and a progressive jackpot too.

New York Gangs Slot Theme

New York Gangs is in no way related to Gangs of New York, whatever gave you that idea? In fact the slot is set in an entirely different era to the famous film, focusing more on modern day gangsters and crime. The background features two mobsters touting tommy guns and even the buttons have been set inside bullet casings.

The reels include famous gangsters, weapons and paraphernalia from the criminal underworld. The symbols include bullets, dynamite, revolvers, gold bars, machine guns, gangsters and bundles of cash. Each is equally stunning when static as it is when animated. The visual action is complimented by a series of themed sound effects; design wise this slot has a lot to offer players.

Coin values are generous starting at 0.01 with 7 different dominations topping out at $/£/€5. The slot set the default paylines to just one which can be configured up to thirty lines per spin. Depending on how you configure the slot you’ll be betting something between 0.01 and $/£/€150 per spin.

The auto spin feature is handy, it allows you to play on full auto up to 100 spins, preset 5 or 10 spins which can also be stopped at anytime.

New York Gangs Slot Features

The Safe is a gangsters favorite challenge, in real life it contains money, jewels and loot. On the New York Gangs slot it also brings riches by substituting for other symbols. They appear on all reels and when appearing on the second and fourth reels become an expanding megawild.

When at least three revolver symbols appear the ‘Russian Roulette’ game starts. You (Bulletproof Joe) receive an instant prize for every successful pull of the trigger. If you manage three rounds you’ll walk away with your winnings. You can walk away at anytime with your winnings or risk your virtual head and your pot by continuing to play.

The bonus round begins when three or more bonus briefcase scatters appear on the reels (more scatters mean bigger wins). You take on the role of Lucky Shot Lou. You are tasked with ‘whacking’ one of two rival gangsters conspiring against your mob boss. This awards an instant prize and plays a stunning cut scene before returning you to the reels.

If you want to play for the progressive jackpot you need to select the 0.50 jackpot coin on the righthand side. This is a little unorthodox but does give you the option to play for it or not.

New York Gangs has utilized a popular theme well. The graphics are stunning, the bonus rounds offer a short thrill and the inclusion of a progressive jackpot is a nice additional bonus. Especially if you win!
