Windy City

You learn something new every day, don’t you? In this case, that the nickname of Chicago is Windy City. There are a few reasons to this from politics to weather, but the main thing is that the name has stuck for over a hundred years.

Now, something we did know already was that Chigaco was a prime city for gangsters in the 1930s, and that’s what this game is all about. Though we are sure it works wonders on all device, you really oughta give this game a look on a desktop or a tablet, as the graphics only come alive in their true glory on a bit bigger screens.

Theme and Symbols

The city of Chigaco, or at least its main street, opens up before. The reels are laid on top of this, but you might want to take a moment to enjoy the background picture anyways. The awesome graphical style continues on the reels, where the symbols are best viewed in their full glory. Lounge-jazz, or something akin to it, fill the airwaves. The setting is quite perfect, and even though there’s room for animations, they aren’t really needed.

Betting Options and Functions

Keeping in line with the theme, the settings is kept as close to the historical as possible: five reels of three symbols, with ten paylines converging from left to right. This only begs the question: what’s the variance and wins like?

Well, what else than high stakes would you expect from the era? Luckily, the wins you are about to land are certainly in line with that. You’ll find that getting the best five symbols in line will pay out up to 1000 times your line bet, with all five symbol combos paying at least one hundred times your bet.

And the biggest win? 5000 times your line bet with five wilds!

Features

The massive wild payouts don’t leave that much room for other specials, but there are still two worth your consideration.

The bonus games are quite simple, with a set of scatters simply giving you ten bonus spins.

The gamble feature is likewise quite familiar to most players. You bet your win on doubling, something you can do up to 10 times in a row. Depending on which card shows as the dealer’s card you have either a high or a low chance to score a win. Read the instructions carefully and choose with care!

Our Take

Windy City offers a compelling theme. Endorphina has really but their best expertise on graphics here, as the look is simply tremendous. The features aren’t all that compelling or interesting, and that’s because the normal paytable will deal you with the sort of hand you rarely see in slots. The bets and wins are balanced well, making this slot a must try!
