Game Overview
The 1920s must have been a surreal time to live through in America. It was, of course, the start of prohibition that would last for a staggering thirteen years. Imagine not being able to legitimately buy a pint down at your local pub; it doesn’t even bear thinking about, does it? Such measures inevitably led to bootlegging and the opening of Speakeasies, which is where it would appear Red Tiger Gaming got their inspiration from their latest slot Cotton Gang Affair. This is a 324 payline game that comes with an RTP of 95.93% and a maximum win of 10,000x bet.
A slot with such an interesting theme surely deserves to be filled to the brim with features and modifiers, right? Hmmm, not quite on this game, but the main hook I’m happy to report is entertaining. This is the Mega Wild symbol that can activate randomly on any spin. When it appears, it will cover the entirety of the third reel and also add between 1 – 5 multipliers to random symbols, each with a value of up to 999x. There’s the addition of a free spins feature, too, triggered by landing three or more scatter symbols in view. During this bonus, the Mega Wild will be active on every spin. Finally, completing the feature set, we have the bonus buy option, which players can access if available in their jurisdiction for 100x the current bet.
You probably wouldn’t want to experience life where alcohol was banned entirely, but at least with our free demo slot of Cotton Gang Affair, you can see what it may have been like. Try it out; it’s available below.
Cotton Gang Affair Slot Theme, Stakes, Pays & Symbols
Organised crime in the 1920s and early 1930s was big business due to prohibition, and you will have no doubt heard about infamous criminals from that era, such as the legendary Al Capone. However, it’s perhaps the lesser-known Owney Madden, nicknamed “the murderer” and one of New York’s most notorious gangsters at the time, that Red Tiger has chosen to theme this slot upon and his Famous Cotton Club Speakeasy. Located in Harlem, this was one of the most popular destinations for party-seekers of that generation, with some of the biggest jazz stars of the time performing there. So, quite the theme to base a slot upon, wouldn’t you say? If you like an element of the mafia to your slotting, then you should take a look at Pragmatic Play’s Peaky Blinders or the very impressive The Bowery Boys from Hacksaw Gaming.
On we move then to the all-important paytable, and the highest paying symbol in the game is the wild, represented by Owney, who pays 10x for a five of a kind win. Next, we have the cabaret singer worth 6x for a completed line of five, followed by the vintage car at 3x, the record player at 2x, and the drinks barrel paying 2x for a full payline. As for the lower pays, there are five royal symbols in total. These are the Ace paying 1.2x for a complete line, the King at 1x, followed by the Queen at 0.9x, the Jack at 0.8x, with the final two inclusions being the ten worth 0.7x and the nine valued at 0.6x for a five of a kind hit.
Sneaking into your new favourite watering hole isn’t going to cost you an arm and a leg to play; in fact, it’s got to be the cheapest drink in town. The betting range starts at just €0.10 a spin with nine further stakes to choose from before reaching the maximum price per play of €10.
Base Game & Modifiers
Cotton Gang Affair is a 5-reel slot with a slightly peculiar shape to its reel formation. Rather than being a standard 5×3 game, the third reel is extended to four positions, increasing the total ways to win to 324 on every spin. Creating a winning combo is business, as usual, and you’ll need to match at least three symbols starting from the leftmost reel first.
Mega Wild
The mega wild can trigger randomly on any base game spin and will cover the whole of reel three when it activates. Furthermore, it will add multipliers up to a maximum of five additional symbols, where each may be awarded a value of up to 999x.
Cotton Gang Affair Slot Bonus Features
There’s just one main bonus round in this game, and landing three or more scatters in view is how you activate it. If you hit a basic three scatter trigger, you will be awarded 10 free spins, whilst four and five will reward you with 15 and 20 spins, respectively.
Free Spins
During the free spins bonus, the mega wild will be locked in place throughout, drastically increasing the chances of hitting an enhanced win. Players may also receive five additional spins if a scatter symbol lands simultaneously on reels one and five. This part of the game can be really exciting, especially if you hit the max amount of added multipliers and they are awarded a high value.
Bonus Buy
Those playing from a region where the bonus buy button is active can choose to skip the base game and head straight to the free spins feature. Utilising this option will cost you 100x the current bet.
Cotton Gang Affair Slot Review Final Thoughts
I’m not sure if somebody over at Red Tiger has been binging on gangster movies of late, but with the recent release of Bugsy’s Bar and now Cotton Gang Affair, it does make you wonder. Whatever the reason is behind this latest surge of mafia-themed games, I have to say it makes a welcome break from reviewing another “fish” or “book of game”, that’s for sure.
I have always enjoyed a slot where you feel the base game can pay you something substantial, and you’re not required to trigger the bonus feature to be in with a chance of winning big, and that’s certainly the vibe I was getting from this game. It does remind me of Nolimit City’s Tombstone RIP in some ways with how Owney fires his gun to increase the multiplier values, and that is a great game, so if you enjoyed playing it, then Cotton Gang Affair is definitely worth some of your time.
