The Bowery Boys Slot Review

The Bowery Boys Slot RTP, Details & Wager Limits

The Bowery Boys slot is played on 6 reels, 5 rows, and all paying symbols are scatter-win based. This means that you need to land at least 8 matching symbols anywhere on the reels to win. Winning symbols are then removed and new ones drop into place. This continues until no new wins are formed.

Stakes range from 10p up to £100 per spin, thus catering to all pockets from low to high stakes. Simply use the arrows to the left of the spin button to change your total bet value. Autospins and turbo spins are also possible in most territories outside the UK.

The Bowery Boys RTP is 96.41%, which is well above the 96% average for an online slot. It has been calculated by simulating 10,000,000,000 rounds. The hit frequency is pretty good too at 25.05%, which means that just over a quarter of all spins on average will end up a winner.

The maximum win is 10,000 x your stake, which is typical of a lot of Hacksaw Gaming slots, so it’s good to see that it’s not lower than the norm. Volatility here is high though, so don’t expect huge wins too often.

Theme – join the Gangs of New York in Hell’s Kitchen

It’s all about Hell’s Kitchen, gangs and heists in The Bowery Boys slot game, with the game taking place in the famous area of Manhattan. The reels are set on a backstreet and one of the characters, Dude, really looks like Daniel Day-Lewis from the Gangs of New York film.

The visuals are pretty basic but work really well with the soundtrack and the sound effects. The audio is suspenseful as you spin the reels in the base game. You’re just waiting for something to happen as a dark Irish jig-type tune plays in the background. Land a bonus feature and the audio ramps up and becomes more dramatic as you search for the big wins.

You’ve got the A-10 royals on the reels that make up the lower-paying symbols in The Bowery Boys slot. These are joined by some characters and icons as the higher paying symbols – Dude, a Kick symbol, a Gun, a Kiss, and Donna, the female character. Donna is the most rewarding symbol, paying up to 100 x your stake for 15+ in view on the reels.

The game’s Wild is a barrel and substitutes for all low and high-paying symbols. There’s also a Bonus symbol that will help you trigger a few bonus features. There are many more symbols in the game; here’s a rundown of them:

The Bowery Boys Mobile

The Bowery Boys mobile slot has been produced using HTML5 technology. This means it’s playable on desktops, mobiles and tablets. All Hacksaw slots are well designed and this one is no different. The quality certainly shows on smaller screens and it’s really enjoyable to play on the go.

The Bowery Boys Bonus Features

There are 7 bonus features here if you include the Buy Bonus option that’s available in most territories apart from the UK. You’ve got 3 different Free Spins features, which is great, and you’ve also got plenty of other exciting things going on in this slot. Let’s run you through every bonus feature available so that you can fully understand everything about this game.

Total Win Bar

All wins during a round will be collected and shown above the reels as a pending win amount. This can change as the bonus round goes on and will be updated after every new win. After applying any Strongboxes and Multipliers, this amount is paid and it then resets to zero.

Strongboxes

If a Strongbox and a Key symbol land together on the reels, you can unlock extra cash prizes. 1 key can unlock multiple Stronboxes:

• Small Strongbox = 2-5x bet cash prize
• Medium Strongbox = 10-25x bet cash prize
• Large Strongbox = 50-250x bet cash prize

Blasting Bomb Multipliers

If you land a Blasting Bomb multiplier at any point, it will multiply the current pending win amount by the value shown after the Stronboxes have been applied. If you land 2 or more multipliers, the values will not only be added together but will also be multiplied by the total.

Possible multiplier values are 2x, 3x, 4x, 5x, 10x, 15x, 25x, 50x, 75 and 100x.

Strongbox Storage feature

10 free spins are on offer if you land 1 Bonus symbol to trigger this feature in the base game. Store up to 5 Strongboxes in the Storage if you fail to land a key. Once a key does land, it will open all of the Strongboxes on the reels and in storage for potentially big wins. Each additional Bonus symbol during the feature will give you 1 extra spin with no upper limit.

Daisy’s Dynamite feature

2 Bonus symbols in the base game of The Bowery Boys slot game will trigger this feature with 10 free spins. All dynamite multipliers that land will be stored until a Detonator lands to cause a giant explosion. The possible dynamite multiplier values are 2x, 3x, 4x, 5x, 10x, 15x, 25x, 50x, 75x and 100x.

More Bonus symbols during this feature will result in additional spins, with each one giving your 1 extra spin.

Bowery Savings Bank feature

3 Bonus symbols in the base game will trigger this feature and you will start with 10 free spins, just like the other 2 Free Spins features. For each win, that value will also be stored in the vault until you land the Dollar symbol, which will win you the value shown.

You will come across Dice and Police Badge symbols in this bonus round, and they offer the following when they land:

• Dice – multiplies the current value by the sum of the dice between 2x and 12x.
• Police Badge – you will need to pay off the police with either 10%, 20%, 30%, 40% or 50% of the value in the vault if this symbol lands.

1 extra spin will be awarded if you land an additional bonus symbol during the feature with no upper limit.

Bonus Buy feature

In most territories outside the UK, you can buy the Bonus features for a certain price:

The Bowery Boys Review Summary – all about the bonus features

The Bowery Boys slot game is a really well-put-together slot and it’s jam-packed full of bonus features and modifiers. There’s a lot going on that should keep you entertained for a while. I enjoyed the 3 Free Spins features as well as the Blasting Bombs and the Dynamite Multipliers.

In terms of the theme, it hits all of the right notes and Hacksaw never really disappoint in terms of visuals and audio. It’s a great heist-themed game and if you enjoy all things gang-related, you will love this.

The max win could be a little higher for this highly volatile slot, but Hacksaw games are typically in and around this range, so I wasn’t expecting it to rival some of the best around at 50,000 x or more. But overall, I can’t really fault it. Another great release from this provider and I’m looking forward to what they produce in the future.
