Brooklyn Bootleggers Review
As is vividly portrayed in the HBO series, Boardwalk Empire, alcohol was still flowing rather freely also in the so-called Prohibition era that lasted from 1920 to 1933. The black market was massive, and people like Al Capone, as well as bootleggers in general, thrived. This is the world you enter into via Quickspin’s Brooklyn Bootleggers, and there are more than enough bottles of whisky to go around placed on top of the 5x3 grid.
Your job in this game is to capture the bad guys in a so-called Lock Up Frame, and this frame can cover 3 to all 5 reels when it appears. If it contains enough seedy character symbols you win the corresponding xBet instant reward. The prizes range from 2x to 10,000x your stake, and you need the 5x3 frame to truly win big. You get a random sized frame per free spin, and its minimum size increases per retrigger. This is your best shot at cracking the 10,000x potential, but the largest frame is elusive most of the time.

Quickspin likes to call their highest value symbols mediums in many cases, and these consist of 4 characters that pay between 20 to 200 x your stake for 5 of a kind wins.
You can land Wild symbols anywhere as well, and wilds step in for any pay symbol to help complete and/or improve wins. Wilds also pay the same as the top-tier symbol if you land pure wild wins.Similar Slots:
The Lock Up Feature can trigger at random times in the base game. When this happens a frame appears around certain reels, or all reels, and the frame size can be 3x3, 4x3, or 5x3. You need between 4 and 15 character and/or wild symbols within the frame to win the corresponding xBet prize (as seen on the display on the left).
More precisely, you win 2x, 4x, 7x, 10x, 20x, 50x, 100x, 200x, 500x, 1,000x, 5,000x, or 10,000x your stake, respectively, when you land 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, or 15 mediums character symbols of any kind (and/or wilds) in the frame. The xBet prize payout comes in addition to any regular line wins.
The Tip Off Bonus Round triggers from 3, 4, or 5 scatter symbols anywhere in view, and this gives you 10, 15, or 20 free spins, respectively.
You get the Lock Up Frame feature on every free spin, and it can still appear in the 3 different sizes described above. The xBet prize range is the same as well, and you win 3, 5, or 7 free spins from 3, 4, or 5 scatters on the same free spin, respectively. The minimum Lock Up Frame size increases per retrigger, until it covers the full grid per free spin.Finally, non-UK players, and anyone living in an eligible jurisdiction, may take advantage of the Bonus Buy feature. This gives you the Lock Up Frame feature on every free spin as described above, and it will set you back 60x your stake. The bonus buy RTP is 96.65 %, at least for the top-tier RTP version of this game.

Review Summary
At least Quickspin has attempted to do something new and somewhat original with the instant scatter prize concept, and it’s a relief to not have to try yet another 9 Masks of Fire clone. The bootlegger theme is somewhat of a rarity in the world of online slots as well, which makes it refreshing, and Brooklyn Bootleggers comes with a solid pace with the turbo switched on. The visuals are not the best we’ve seen from this developer, but they certainly get the job done.
The good thing about the xBet prizes in this game, is that they’re made from regular pay symbols instead of scatters that block ordinary win ways payouts.
The bad news is that you need the Lock Up Frame to collect them. The 3x3 frame lands most often, and it gives you a top prize of only 50x your stake. That increases to 500x with the 4x3 frame, and getting the 5x3 frame is rare. Once in place, it can land you 10,000x in an instant though, but the frame system does put a damper on things compared to other releases in the scatter jackpot genre.Pros
- Lock Up instant prize frame up to size 5x3
- Instant xBet jackpots up to 10,000x
- FS w/ a new Lock Up frame per spin
- Retrigger to increase the min. FS frame size
Cons
- Limited xBet Prize without 5x3 frame
- Beware of customizable RTP ranges
