Game Overview

Come on down to Bugsy’s Bar, where we serve the best bonuses in town, so says Red Tiger. And who am I to disagree when the place’s signage includes two revolvers and three blood-splattered shot glasses? It looks just like the kind of place you imagine existed during America’s failed attempt at alcohol prohibition during the early 20th century! This new 30-payline machine features a top win of 10,500x the player’s stake alongside a bang-on average RTP of 96%.

The headline bonus in this game is dubbed ‘Bugsy’s Special’ and starts with a slot machine feature where Bugsy will serve you three shots. Aside from the amusing meta aspect of this, each shot serves a unique purpose, such as removing low-paying symbols or adding locked wild symbols to your free spin reels. If you manage to hit a re-trigger, Bugsy will serve up another three shots to further boost the value of your next set of spins! Just be careful not to drink too many now.

Dare you take a visit to such a shady speakeasy? I would suggest looking at the patrons that feature on the paytable before you make any decisions! When you’re ready, our free demo slot of Bugsy’s Bar is available to play below.

Bugsy’s Bar Slot Theme, Stakes, Pays & Symbols

Bar’s make a perfect theme for online slots. Have you seen Bar Bar Black Sheep? Ah, the wrong type of bar! Okay, how about Bar-X Megaways? Hmmm. I don’t think we’re getting a Jack and Coke there either, do you? All jokes aside, the earliest slot machines first sprung up in New York sometime around 1891 and were so popular that it didn’t take long before every bar in Brooklyn had one or more of them. Those early machines were largely based on the stud poker games that were popular in the bars of the day, but it wasn’t long before the more well-known fruit machine-themed games showed up on the scene. Nearly 150 years later, things have come full circle – it’s now the bar which is a theme for the slot rather than the slots being a feature of the bar. The circle of life, as they say!

On every spin played on Bugsy’s Bar, you are betting 30 virtual coins, irrespective of the selected stake. It’s important to know this if you want to convert the numbers shown on the paytable into multiplies of stake, and with the math out of the way, I can tell you that the smartly-dressed Capone character is the most valuable of the bunch, surprise surprise! He’ll earn you 10x the total bet for a complete payline, whilst his female accomplice is only worth half as much at 5x the bet for all five symbols. The scary-looking dude with a slashed face and a knife is worth 4x for a five of a kind combination, whilst the final high-paying spot has been awarded to a duffle bag stuffed full of cash with a 3x return. There are four low pays represented by typical royals, and these have payouts ranging from 1x for five Jacks up to 2.5x for five Aces.

Two buttons in the bottom-left corner allow you to increase or decrease the current stake between the minimum/maximum wagers of €0.10 and €10.00 per spin, respectively. This range is now typical for most Red Tiger slots, and the options on offer should be more than enough to please players of all sized bankrolls.

Base Game & Modifiers

All of the big wins available in Bugsy’s Special are tied up in its main bonus round, so there’s relatively little to report in terms of the base game. The machine uses a 5×4 reel set spanned by 30 paylines, all of which must be played on every spin. All winning combinations require at least three matching symbols on adjacent reels, starting from the lefthand side. That’s really about it as far as the basic gameplay is concerned, but don’t worry – the best is yet to come!

Bonus scatter symbols can land on reels one, three, and five, and you’ll need to catch all three of these simultaneously to score yourself a set of seven free spins. Let’s dig deeper into this main feature below and find out exactly how it works.

Free Spins

Before every bonus round, a mini-slot feature dubbed “Bugsy’s Special” will be shown first. The mini-slot randomly awards three special bonus-enhancing features chosen from the following possibilities:

  • Bonus Spins: Adds additional free spins to your starting total.
  • Remove Small Symbol: The Jacks, Queens, Kings, or Aces will be removed from the reels for the duration of the free spins.
  • Locked Wilds: All wild symbols that land during the bonus round will become sticky until the end of the feature.
  • Super Wild: Adds stacked wild symbols to one randomly chosen reel.
  • Multiplier: Boosts the value of all wins obtained during the bonus round by 2x, 3x, or 5x.

The bonus round can be re-triggered by hitting another three scatter symbols whilst the feature is active. When this occurs, another seven free spins will be added to your remaining total, and you will be returned to Bugsy’s Special screen.

Multiple re-triggers can result in all low-value symbols being removed from the reels, super wilds being added to multiple reels and a maximum total multiplier of 10x.

Bugsy’s Bar Slot Review Final Thoughts

The base game of Bugsy’s Bar isn’t overly exciting, but the bonus round more than makes up for this with a whole bunch of special features. If you get lucky with the shots obtained via Bugsy’s Special, the top win of 10,500x should feel tantalisingly within your grasp. I, for one, will certainly be going for a big win on this machine when it lands at my favourite online casino!
