The Italian Job Slot
As you might already surmised, the Italian Job slot game by Amaya Gaming shares its name with a popular action film, though this slot's background may surprise you. The 5-reel, 9-paylines video slot is based on a movie, but not the one you're probably thinking.
The Original Film
In association with Paramount Pictures, The Italian Job slot is based on the British and original 1969 film The Italian Job, one of the best heist movies of all times. In this film, a group of thieves plan to steal $4 million dollars worth of gold from a shipment right off the street of Turin by creating a temporary traffic jam, escaping in Mini Coopers. Charlie Crocker (played by Michael Caine) is the mastermind of the heist, and he hopes to steal the Mafia’s gold from right from under their noses.
UK Swag
The Italian Job slot is set in the UK and is reminiscent of everything British. In addition, game icon graphics portray film symbolism such as the Detonator, the Computerized Traffic Control, together with the Blue, Red, and White Mini Coopers from used in the movie are all represented on the reels. Poker card icons are drawn to portray the mafia’s role in the story.
Participate in the Heist and Win up to 25,000 Coins
The Italian Job Logo is the wild symbol, and it will replace the Detonator or Computerized Traffic Control in paying combinations. More so, 5 wilds in an active line will pay the 25,000-coin jackpot when a spin is wagered to the max.
Mini Cooper Bonus Round
Enter the bonus feature by matching 3 or more Mini Cooper Bonus symbols. Matching 3 symbols will apply a 1X win multiplier; 4 symbols will apply a 2X win multiplier; and 5 symbols will yield a 3X win multiplier.
Click the stacks of Gold, moving them from the Mini Coopers to the Van. In the process multipliers worth 1X, 2X, or 5X will be revealed. The feature will end when ‘Finish’ is revealed, though revealing ‘Finish’ on the first click will award all multipliers. To maximize bonus earnings, bet as many credits as your bankroll allows because bet increases directly affect bonus wins. A maximum bet could multiply bonus winnings 90X!
Player-Friendly Limits
Betting limits start at 0.01 credit value and go up to 5.00 credit value. For every line, 10 coins are wagered. To bet max, bet on all 10 lines (a 90-credit bet). Betting options in the Italian Job allow for more control by the player, especially in terms of bonus payouts.
The Verdict
The Italian Job is a very interesting slot game, even in terms of history and cinematic replication. The game has only one bonus round, but even so, it is quite rewarding. Watch your bankroll though during base play, as you’re likely to come by significant wins more freely in the bonus round.
