The New York Gangs game can be found at casinos offering CTMX/GamesOS software. CTMX are one of the smaller software providers though they – alongside Viaden - do seem to have a relationship with Playtech. They do not appear to publish the Return to Player (RTP)/House Edge information for their slots games as standard, but some of their casinos appear to do this themselves. So far we’ve only found one casino – AdamEve – that has published this information for New York Gangs and they list the house edge as 3-5%. We assume the range relates to pay with and without the Jackpot, but can’t say which results in the lower house edge. When playing at any other venue, this information should be used as a guideline only as the game may be configurable.
Can you cover the vig?
The New York Gangs game has 5 reels, 30 paylines and you can bet one coin on each of the paylines.
The ‘Safe’ symbol is wild and expands to cover the entire reel any time it lands on reels 2 or 4.
There are two bonus features when playing New York Gangs. The first bonus feature is activated when you receive 3 or more of the ‘Suitcase’ bonus symbol anywhere on an active payline. When that happens you will be taken to a new screen where you have to kill one of two gangsters who are plotting against your boss. Select the gangster to win a prize.
The second bonus feature is activated when you receive 3 or more of the ‘Gun’ bonus symbol anywhere on an active payline. When this happens you’ll be taken to a new screen where you have to play Russian Roulette. There’s one round in the chamber of the six shooter. Each shot you take awards a prize. You can choose to claim your prize or take another shot for a bigger prize. If you blow your head off you win nothing.
Conclusion
New York Gangs is a pretty fun games with some interesting features and a reasonable house edge.
