There is no question as to the theme of the American Gangster online video slot. Presented in the style of a cartoon, it looks like a comic book come to life. The game is set in 1920s and is based on the jazz age.
Graphics & Symbols
American Gangster takes place at night, in a typical U.S. city. The symbols on the reels are all gangster related. They include a classic Cadillac, diamonds, a modern day policeman, a pink dress wearing woman and some cash, as well as the American Gangster the game is named for. The animation of the symbols take on momentum when a winning combination is achieved. Not surprisingly, the gangster is the game’s wild symbol. The city’s skyline is the game’s scatter symbol.
Bonus Features
Two of the skyline scatter symbols on the reels at once means that players will be rewarded with five free spins. However, three scatters are equal to 10 free spins, and four scatters get players 15 spins for free and five scatters will get them 25 spins for free. During free spins, two more scatter symbols on the reels at once get players an extra five free spins. Players may get wilds on the fifth reel. These wilds sometimes come with multipliers that mean players win anywhere from three times to 10 times more than they would have otherwise.
There is also a bonus that only ever occurs during regular gameplay. The Double Up Game can perk things up even when free spins aren’t in the cards. Every spin of the reels that results in a winning combination of symbols gives players a chance to double their winnings. Players will see a gamble button in the game’s control panel. If they want to take the chance they can hit that button. They are then shown a blinking playing card, face down. If they correctly guess what colour the card is they double their winnings.

Overall Verdict and Final Thoughts
The simplicity of American Gangster isn’t lost on players. For a game with a serious theme, it doesn’t dive very deep into that theme. There is nothing special about the free spins bonus round, other than that it can be triggered with as few as two scatters.
Otherwise this game is suited for players who want an exciting theme but not one that is overly so. The gangster theme should be portrayed in a dark mood, but this game is not what players would have expected from the stated theme. The biggest selling point of this game may be that it can be played on a desktop computer or any smart phone, although even this point applies to almost all slot games on the market right now.
