Brooklyn Bootleggers (Quickspin) – Review & Demo Play

The Brooklyn Bootleggers Slot Game

I’ve been spinning Brooklyn Bootleggers for a while now. Quickspin sets it in the 1920s with film-style grit. The reels sit over a misty bridge at night, a vintage motor idling below, bottles of booze lined above, and a prize ladder pinned to the left. Under the hood it’s a 5-reel, 3-row, 10-payline layout. Wins land left to right. The draw is the cat-and-mouse feel with bootleggers on the symbols and a police badge scatter, backed by a moody soundtrack that suits the chase.

Symbols and Payouts in Brooklyn Bootleggers

On the reels, 11 icons fit the theme cleanly. The low-value set is wooden frames showing Star, Spade, Club, Diamond, and Heart shapes. With 3 to 5 of a kind, you’re looking at 1x to 10x the stake. The high end is bootleggers on blue, purple, orange, and red backgrounds. Land five and you’ll see up to 20x, 30x, 100x, and 200x respectively. Those values scale with your current bet, so the paytable always mirrors the stake you’ve selected.

The Shadowy Man wild stands in for all except the Badge scatter. It also pays like the top red gangster and doubles up as a paying symbol during the Lock Up feature. The Badge is the scatter that opens the Tip Off round. I like how the set keeps things tight yet punchy, with clear upgrades from shapes to characters, and a wild that does proper work both in standard line wins and inside the frame mechanic.

Brooklyn Bootleggers Slot Bonus Features

The Brooklyn Bootleggers bonus menu sticks to free spins and a Lock Up feature, with a buy option where allowed. It’s a lean package on paper, yet the frame mechanic carries weight in both phases. The buy costs 60x the bet when offered, letting you jump straight to the action. In practice, the rhythm swings between steady base spins and surges when the frame appears, then peaks again once the sticky setup arrives in the Tip Off round.

Lock Up can trigger at random in the base game. A 3x3, 4x3, or 5x3 frame lands over the grid. Hit at least four medium symbols or wilds inside and you collect an instant prize from the ladder on the left, ranging from 2x to 10,000x the stake. During free spins this frame stays in play, so every qualifying cluster inside pays straight away. That steady drip of instant wins keeps momentum between line hits.

Tip Off free spins start when three or more Badges land. You get 10, 15, or 20 spins for 3, 4, or 5 scatters. Extra Badges award 3, 5, or 7 more spins. You begin with a sticky frame of 3x3, 4x3, or 5x3, and landing 3+ scatters upgrades it by a reel up to full 5x3 coverage. Where available, the buy option sets RTP to 96.65 percent, which pairs well with the hit potential once the frame grows.

How to Win at Brooklyn Bootleggers Slot

Brooklyn Bootleggers runs on a 5-column, 3-row board with 10 fixed paylines. Wins pay left to right when three or more matching symbols drop on a valid line starting from the first reel. The default bet shows as €1, but you can set stakes from €0.20 to €100. The amount you pick applies per round. If you want simple base game flow, stick to steady stakes and let the Lock Up frames punctuate the session.

Controls are straightforward. Tap Spin for a single round or use Autoplay with advanced options for a batch of spins. Turbo speeds up the cycle. The Menu and Settings buttons open extra options, including the help pages and the paytable. I’d suggest a few minutes in the demo to map the pay steps, see how the frame counts symbols, and get a feel for how often the base game throws a random Lock Up.

Brooklyn Bootleggers Slot RTP & Volatility

Brooklyn Bootleggers posts a 96.25 percent RTP by default. Operators can also run lower models at 94.33, 92.36, or 88.25 percent, so I always check the info panel. Volatility sits around medium to medium-high, with game stats flagging larger hits about once in 100 spins. The Bonus Buy, when offered, lists 96.65 percent RTP. Max win is 10,000x the bet, tied to the top step of the Lock Up ladder when 15 qualifying symbols fill a full 5x3 frame.

The Final Thoughts on Brooklyn Bootleggers

I rate Brooklyn Bootleggers as a sharp cat-and-mouse slot. The random Lock Up in base can spit tidy instant pays, and Tip Off turns it up with a sticky frame that can grow to full coverage. When I hit a 5x3, the tension and tempo both lift. The flipside is a lean feature list, so dry patches happen, and smaller frames can cap returns. RTP settings vary by site, and the 60x buy tempts, but variance won’t blink.
