Bugsy’s Bar Review
If you ever walk into a joint like Bugsy’s Bar, well, you better pray you’re not blackout drunk, cause you’ll most likely not make it out of there in one piece. The reels are framed by a jukebox that’s riddled with bullet holes, full of blood splatter, and it even has a knife stabbed into it. This is a watering hole where the likes of Al Capone might show up, and a lookalike is found in a white suit on the reels.
The base game comes with no features, but this release does have a few aces up its sleeve. The tension is tangible all the way, with the threat of violence in the air, and the bonus round comes with an interesting pre-game. You’ll spin 3 shot glasses to get 3 of 5 modifier extras, and you get a new shot glass spin per retrigger. The 26,670x potential took us by surprise, as Red Tiger usually goes low instead of high, but this seems to have changed lately.

The premium symbols, consisting of a bag of cash and 3 shady-looking characters, pay between 3 and 10 x your stake for 5 of a kind wins. The Wild symbol can appear anywhere on the 5 reels to substitute for pay symbols and thus help complete and/or improve wins.
Landing 5 wild symbols on the same payline pays the same as the top-tier mafia boss symbol.Similar Slots:
You need 3 scatter symbols on reels 1, 3, and 5 to trigger the Bonus Round, and it comes with 7 free spins. You will spin a mini slot made of 3 shot glasses up front, however, and this is called the Bugsy’s Special feature. The spin gives you a combo of 3 modifiers to bring with you into the bonus round, and these are as follows:
- Bonus Spins - adds 1 to 3 extra free spins to your tally.
- Remove Small -Time Symbol - removes a royal symbol (J, Q, K, or A) for the duration of the bonus round.
- Locked Wilds - makes all wilds that appear sticky for the duration of the feature.
- Super Wild - makes it possible to land up to two 1x4-sized Super Wilds on reels 2 to 4 during the bonus round.
- Wins Multiplier - gives you a win multiplier of x2, x3, or x5, and it will boost any and all free spin wins.
You can win more than one of the same modifiers, but there are certain limits in place that are detailed in the paytable info section of the game. You can get up to an x10 win multiplier, for example, and you retrigger the bonus round with 7 extra spins should 3 scatters appear on the final free spin. This also gives you another modifier Bugsy’s Special shot glass spin, and if the other modifiers are maxed out you get extra free spins only.
The 200 Spins Bugsy’s Bar Slot Experience
You get a decent taste of the base game, and at least enough to convince you that this bar is no place to cause trouble, before we trigger the bonus round at 1:11 into the 3:50-minute highlights video.
We managed to retrigger the feature once, which gave us another round of shot glass extras, and you can check it all out for yourself by hitting the play button below.Review Summary
Judging from the blood-splattered Jukebox, bullet-hole riddled and knife-stabbed as it is, Bugsy’s is no place you wander in for a bachelor party or a fun evening out. This is where the creatures of the 1920s prohibition period underworld crawl between their bootlegging and murder incorporated ventures. The main character looks a bit like Al Capone, which is hardly a coincidence, and there is a tension going in the base game despite the lack of modifiers.
This game would have benefited immensely from random modifiers like a shootout that riddles the grid with wilds, or similar sudden violence that gives you a taste of what goes on in this joint on a regular basis. We do like the schnapps glass pre bonus round spin though, and it can rig your bonus round with some fine extras. We also like that you can retrigger to get more, or upgrade existing extras, and the 26,670x potential is solid by any measure (and not least for being Red Tiger).
