Scarface is the kind of movie that leaves a lasting impression on the viewer, so the presence of a slot machine with this theme among the Net Entertainment slot collection should make quite a few people happy. The movie’s main character is called Tony Montana, a Cuban immigrant, turned gangster once he lived in the United States for a while. Al Pacino was the one to play him in the movie, which was originally released in 1983. The slot machine is built around that film, using images taken from it as symbols. It’s got a dark look, with plenty of black and dark browns used, but for a fan of this gangster’s story it will be just the right thing.
A 5 reel gangster themed slot machine, Scarface will offer you 20 bet lines. There are a number of cool features, mostly relying on the wild symbol’s appearance on different reels, which will trigger nudge spins, bonus games and free spins. A $10,000 top jackpot is offered as the slot’s biggest motivator.
Features of Scarface
Scarface makes use of several stacked symbols, which have the role of triggering wilds, free spins, bonus games or nudges, depending on which one you get. Depending on the reel which gets the full stacked wild, there are one of three features triggered (free spins, bonus game or nudge wilds).
The wild symbol, while appearing on its own, is going to be a feature that allows you to win more prizes, by getting more combinations formed with its help. It can substitute for any other regular symbol. It’s a stacked wild, which also has the role of triggering a number of other features, depending on the reel it is on. If you don’t get the entire stacked wild, it will transform into regular wild symbols, with the game logo on them.
Nudge Spins
You can get this feature triggered with the stacked wild on the 2nd reel. Once this feature starts, the Nudge Wild is nudged towards the bottom of the screen, one position at a time, with the other four reels re-spinning. Hopefully, the re-spins will get you an even better prize.
Free Spins
The 4th reel is the one where the stacked wild needs to appear and cover it completely, in order for the round of free games to get started. You will receive 15 spins from it, all for free and with a x3 multiplier applied to their winnings.
If you happen to get the same stacked wild on the 4th reel while the free spins are used, you will retrigger them with an extra 15 free spins.
Bonus Game
The same stacked wild is responsible for the start of the bonus game as well, only in this case it will have to be on the 3rd reel.
During the bonus game that follows, you will be taken to the famous scene of Tony Montana using a Tommy Gun against the enemies that are coming to get him, while he’s at the top of the stairs. You get to shoot at the incoming thugs, getting a bonus prize for each one you kill.
Betting options and jackpots
You are allowed to use a maximum of 10 coins for each payline, for a total of 200 coins when they’re all selected. The denominations will go from $0.01 to $0.20, so the most you can wager is $100 for a single spin, or $5 per line.
The line bet is important because it determines the top jackpot value. In this case, it’s up to 2,000 times the line bet, or 20,000 coins/$10,000. Free spins multiply this value by 3x, if you manage to get the right combo while they are in play.
Design and symbols
The design is clearly based on the scenes from the original 1983 movie, so you will find real photos of its actors among the symbols used in the slot. It’s a pretty dark design, the dark brown and the black being the predominant colors. The symbols are playing cards or characters from the movie, the former being simple images themed around the city, while the latter include some sort of object as well. One character might have a bloody chainsaw next to him, another will have money or a briefcase. It’s not an attractive slot in the normal sense of the word, as it mostly goes for the gritty look.
Symbols: Logo Wild (wild), Manny (expanded wild, bonus), Tony Wild (expanded wild, bonus), Elvira Wild (expanded wild, bonus), Tony Montana (2,000x), Elvira (1,000x), Manny (750x), Alejandro Sosa (500x), Frank Lopez (250x), Ace (150x), King (100x), Queen (75x), Jack (60x) and 10 (50x).
Is It Worth Playing?
I’d say so, especially if you’re a movie buff or a fan of gangster films in general. The features are also quite interesting, trying hard to be different from 99% of the other slots available right now.
This Scarface slot is offered by all online casinos with Net Entertainment software, playable either in practice or in real money mode.
