Slot Peaky Blinders — Game Review

Peaky Blinders

Inspired by the popular TV show that depicts the darker side of life in Birmingham between the two World Wars, Peaky Blinders is the first branded slot in the Pragmatic Play’s mighty portfolio. Follow the Shelby family exploits on the reels and win up to 2,022x the bet!

Betting Options and Bonus Features

Pragmatic Play has done a wonderful job in transferring the grimy atmosphere of Birmingham’s back allies to the reels. Together with the soundtrack from the show, both fans and those who have never seen Peaky Blinders will enjoy the gaming atmosphere without a doubt.

The 5×3 grid comes with 20 paylines, 96.5% RTP, max win of 2,022x , and medium-high volatility level! On the top of the paytable are the main characters from the show — Arthur Shelby, Thomas Shelby, Michael Gray, and Polly Gray. Player needs at least 3 matching high-paying symbols for a win. The most they can get is the 20x the bet for 5 of a kind on a payline.

Wild is there to make creating of the winning combos easier as it can replace any symbol bar Scatter and 2 special symbols — Shelby Betting Shop and By The Order of The Peaky Blinders. When a Shelby Betting Shop lands on the reel 5 (without 2 Scatters on other reels), it triggers a feature where cash prizes get sent to all the character symbols on the grid at that moment.

The By The Order of Peaky Blinders symbol can appear on the reel 5 as well. When that happens (without 2 Scatters on the other reels), all Wilds and character symbols stay in place while the rest of the grid respins. After the respin, all character symbols and Wilds are transformed into one character symbol and the winning combos are paid out.

Scatter aka Bonus symbol appears on the reels 1 and 3 but to trigger one of 2 available bonus rounds, it needs to hit in combo with one of the special symbols. If it happens with the Shelby Betting Shop symbol, a player is awarded 8 free spins. During this bonus round, the probability of triggering the Shelby Betting Shop feature is bigger and once it occurs, it plays out just like in the base game.

If a Scatter lands in combination with By The Order of Peaky Blinder symbol, the player is awarded 10 free spins. Triggering the feature connected to this special symbol is more probable which when activated in the bonus round, behaves pretty much the same as in the base game of the slot.

Roshtein’s Take

While the Peaky Blinders slot is visually impressive, there is no doubt Pragmatic could have done a better job with this one. Two special features in the base game are good in concept and execution but I expected more for the bonus rounds. Don’t get me wrong, I got some nice wins spinning this one but the free spins rounds are simply underwhelming.

In January 2020, the news about the partnership between Pragmatic Play and Endemol Shine Group announced the launch of the video slot based on the hit TV series Peaky Blinders.

The 5-year deal, which will exclude the US and UK, sees Pragmatic Play given the rights to the popular show. The show tells the story of a Birmingham gang to develop the branded online slot. Also live casino games, instant-win scratchcards and virtual sports.

The first product that developed under the licence will be a video slot due to release in May 2020. If you are a Peaky Blinders fan, stay with us to learn more about the upcoming Pragmatic Play title.

Peaky Blinders Slot Review

So far, five seasons of the popular series have aired on the BBC and Netflix. Now, you can enjoy the video slot bringing characters from your favourite series. Cillian Murphy, Helen McCrory and Paul Anderson are placed on the reels. Although there is no information on the game’s appearance or the bonus features it will offer, we are sure that it will live up to fans’ expectations. After all, the series has won multiple awards such as the 2018 BAFTA for Best Drama Series. They also won 2019 Best Drama National Television Award, and the slot game must not ruin its reputation.
We strongly believe that the developer will be able to transpose the gritty-chic crime feel the series has been known for from TV screens to your nearest desktop or mobile device. Besides a stellar cast of actors, the show boasts a soundtrack that sets the atmosphere, and we cannot imagine the slot machine without the featured songs such as Red Right Hand by Nick Cave, which opens each episode.

How to Play Peaky Blinders

What is certain at the moment of writing this slot review is that the title will transfer players to the roaring 1920s. We can expect to see the familiar characters in the upper ends of the paytable. The game will probably feature a standard Pragmatic Play control panel allowing players to choose a preferred number of coins and a coin value to set their stakes. They will also have the Autoplay feature at their disposal, which comes in handy when you want to activate automatic spins and set the limits at which they stop. So far, no details on the game’s structure have been revealed.

Bonus Features

Bonus features in the Peaky Blinders slot should be at least as exciting as the show itself. Knowing that the series has drawn some famous fans, like David Bowie and Leonard Cohen. They even offered their music to be featured. We expect nothing less than a lot of suspense, intrigue and plenty of opportunities to win!

We Picked Another One for You

Peaky Blinders Slot Review

Inspired by a gang from back in the day, this game will definitely be appealing to a lot of players. It has the standard 5 reels, 3 rows, and 20 paylines to offer. You can expect to see some really energetic and well-paying features mixed with some old school looking visuals as well. Another amazing Pragmatic Play slot release takes us deep into the underground world of post war Great Britain.

Walk the Streets of Birmingham

For those of you who do not know who the Peaky Blinders are it is enough to say that they were a legendary enough gang to have countless media coverage in all shapes and forms. Their story of innovation and some great smuggling techniques have led them to be this well known. The way they strategically operate is perfect to be presented in a slot game as well.

In the background, you will be able to see the streets of Birmingham like they used to look like back in the early 50s. Everything is done in black and white shades, pretty much mimicking how it was at the time. There are buildings all around and carriages as well since they were the form of transport for various things then. The soundtrack is very laid back with some phrases from the members also included.

The symbols are amazingly well designed and look spot on just like the gang members. The lower-paid ones are a bit less interesting as they are represented by some steel looking royals. The higher-paid ones include Polly Grey, Arthur Shelby, and Tommy Shelby as the gang leader and also the most rewarding symbol of the game. You will recognize the wild and the scatter symbol as two badges with their logos on them.

This is a medium volatility game which is perfect for long term play aside from being entertaining. The payouts will only be able to reach 400 times the stake in a single spin. The betting range is decent as well, with the minimum bet set at 0,20 and the maximum at 100 coins per spin. The game also offers us a 96,5% RTP which is more than enough to succeed here.

Shelby or Peaky Blinders

The features of the game are just as mysterious as its gang members. They are very energetic and will have loads in store for you. Besides the classic wild symbol that is there to replace all other symbols, except the bonus symbol, this game has four more features to offer.

The By Order of the Peaky Blinders feature is triggered by the symbol that carries the same saying. It needs to land just ones on reel 5 to activate the feature. All the gang members present on the reels get locked in place, after which a re-spin occurs. The locked-in symbols will then be transformed into the same random matching one to hopefully reveal a great prize.

The Shelby Betting Shop feature is also triggered by the same name symbol. It as well needs to land at least ones on the last reel to bring you any luck. All the higher value symbols present on the reels will deliver different cash payouts that are written down on the piece of paper next to the reels and added together for a nice payout.

For the By Order of the Peaky Blinders feature to be triggered, you will need to land the logo symbol on the last reel and the scatter symbol on reels 1 and 3 at the same time. This might seem way too harsh, but with a bit of luck, you will succeed. Upon triggering, you will be awarded 10 free spins with an increased chance of landing the By Order of the Peaky Blinders bonus symbol, increasing the number of free spins and with that hopefully the wins as well.

The Shelby Betting Shop Free Spins feature is triggered in the same way, only this time you will need a Shelby Betting Shop bonus symbol on the last reel with increased chances of landing it multiple times during the feature as well.
