The Sopranos was a critically acclaimed TV series based on life of mobster Tony Soprano. The show had some edgy themes that are carried over into the game and with bonuses like the Bada Bing feature and the Stolen Goods bonus its clearly not your average pokie game.
The game has now become even more of a tribute to the series and particularly to the late James Gandolfini who was the star of the show. Scenes from the series are shown throughout the which really reminds us of just how impressive the series was.
Betting Options
To play all lines you need to bet 25 credits per spin with the good news being that credit sizes start at once cent. This means you can get in on all of the action for as little as 25c a spin. You can of course bet more if you want by increasing the credit size per line.
Wild Symbol
The Tony Soprano symbol is wild for all symbols but the scattered Sopranos logos, Containers and Bada Bing logos. Getting five wild Tony symbols on any active line pays the top line win of 3,000 credits.
Raid Bonus
The Raid Bonus can happen at any time during regular play and does not need anything on the reels to be won so it's kind of like the "You are Lucky" feature on The Phantom and Lucky 88.
You start off with four envelopes which all have double your total bet in them. You can then choose to hide any amount in the four hiding spots. The police then commence the raid and you get to keep the cash they don't find.
There are a couple of ways to look at this feature. You can either hide all of the cash in one place to get the biggest win or no win or spread out the money to guarantee at least some winnings.
Bada Bing Feature
Get a Bada Bingo logo in any position on reels 2, 3 and 4 and you win the Bada Bing Bonus. You then get to choose one of five characters from the series to go and see Tony where you get a short clip from the show and an instant prize.
If you're lucky you can get to pick up to all of the characters and up to five instant cash prizes. The prizes range from 1X to 10X your total bet.
Stolen Goods Bonus
A Shipping Container symbol anywhere on the first and last reels gives you access to the Stolen Goods Bonus where you can win up to 50 times your bet. The aim of this bonus is to pick the container that has the most valuable good inside.
On the right of the screen is a list of all of the values. If you're not happy with your pick you can try again up to twice more although there is no guarantee that your subsequent picks will be any better.
Free Games
The Sopranos has four different free spins features that are unlocked by getting the free games multiple times. To win the Family Free Games you need to get three or more of the scattered Sopranos logos.
The first time you win the feature you can only choose the Soldier free games but every time you get the feature you light up a progress bar that eventually unlocks all of the game modes. The four features are as follows,
Soldier Free Spins
Get 25 free spins with no multiplier but an extra wild. The Christopher symbols are wild for everything except the scattered logos. Christopher appearing anywhere on the middle reel gives you 5 extra games.
Capo Free Spins
Get 20 free spins that start with a random multiplier of between X2 and X5. During the spins if Paulie is anywhere on the reels the multiplier increases by X1 up to a maximum of X5. This feature cannot be re-triggered.
Boss Free Spins
Play 10 free spins where between 2 and 5 Tony Soprano extra wilds are added to the screen at the end of every spin. Get a regular Tony wild on the middle reel and you win an extra 5 free spins.
Family Free Spins
