This title comes strapped with gritty and sexy graphics reminiscent of Frank Miller’s Sin City! To be sure, there is danger here…

… but big wins are available as well!

This game is built by Red7 Mobile, a UK-based firm with a diverse design skill set. Their bespoke slot titles always have a one-of-a-kind feel, and that’s definitely the case here. The dark and glamorous gaming feel mixes beautifully with strong gaming fundamentals and tons of bonuses.

Gaming symbols include police badges, machine guns, bottles of booze, and confidential files, as well as the playing card values ace through jack. A symbol bearing the game’s logo provides its strong payout at 200x for 5-of-a-kind wins.

A gunman in an overcoat acts as wild, substituting for other symbols to form wins while also offering base play’s top payout of 300x for 5-of-a-kind wins.

This game’s most important symbol, however…

… is the Femme Fatale Bonus Symbol. This opens the way to the Bonus Bar Free Spin feature, where reels can grow as high as eight rows with multiple re-triggers!
