Chicago

Chicago by Novomatic sets its action in the 1920s gangland era, Al Capone and Eliot Ness as premium symbols on a 5x3 grid with 20 paylines. The free spins round includes an interactive Bottle Shooting Bonus where players select bottles to reveal multipliers between 1x and 10x on their current win. The top-paying symbols pay up to 100x the line bet for five in a row. RTP sits at 92.15%, and the game runs on desktop and mobile at Wild.io with crypto.

What is Chicago?

Chicago is a 5x3 video slot from Novomatic with a 92.15% RTP, medium-high volatility, and 20 paylines. The standout mechanic is the free spins round triggered by three or more classic mob car scatter symbols, which includes a Bottle Shooting Bonus where players pick bottles for win multipliers up to 10x.

Novomatic built Chicago around the visual contrast between law and crime, the Chicago skyline wild, the mobster's moll, a uniformed officer, and a wide-eyed child all appear alongside the two headline characters. The Bottle Shooting Bonus during free spins makes the round interactive rather than passive, letting players directly influence the multiplier applied to wins accumulated during the 12 free games.

Chicago Slot Theme & Graphics

Chicago places its reels inside a 1920s Prohibition-era setting: the city skyline visible between the columns, warm sepia tones mixed with the deep amber of speakeasy lighting. Symbol illustrations are drawn in a stylized period style, the police officer's flat cap, the gangster's moll in a fur stole, the child in knee-high socks alongside two suited figures who define the era's moral poles.

Al Capone and Eliot Ness anchor the top of the paytable and give the game a face. The classic mob car scatter is drawn in period-accurate detail, a long-hood 1920s sedan in black. Free spins shift the atmosphere: the screen gains a slight amber tint and the Bottle Shooting sequence presents an interactive row of bottles that players select one by one to reveal their multiplier. The audio shifts from a ragtime-influenced soundtrack in the base game to a tension-building loop during the Bottle Shooting stage.

Chicago Slot Symbols & Paytables

Chicago's paytable runs two standard tiers built around the game's narrative cast, plus two special symbols that drive the bonus structure.

Low Value Symbols

The lower tier uses the uniformed policeman and the cheeky child, both paying up to 25x the line bet for five in a row. These appear frequently across the 20 paylines and keep the session moving between scatter triggers. They share the lower tier with a few additional mid-value icons in the same stylized art style, all contributing to the base-game rhythm at smaller individual amounts.

High Value Symbols

The gangster's moll sits in the mid-premium range at 40x for five on a payline. Al Capone and Eliot Ness both occupy the top of the paytable at 100x each for five in a row, the game's maximum base-game symbol payout. The Chicago skyline acts as the wild and substitutes for all regular symbols except the scatter; it appears across multiple reels and can contribute to multiple paylines in the same spin when it lands in column positions shared by active lines.

Special Symbols

The Chicago skyline wild substitutes for all regular-paying symbols, allowing it to complete combinations on any of the 20 paylines it touches. The classic mob car is the scatter symbol. Three or more landing anywhere on the reels, no payline position required, trigger the free spins round of 12 games. The scatter does not carry a direct credit multiplier; its value comes from activating the free spins round and, within it, the Bottle Shooting Bonus that multiplies the total win.

Chicago Bonus Feature & Special Features

Free Spins with Bottle Shooting Bonus

The free spins feature triggers when three or more classic mob car scatter symbols land anywhere on the reels in a single spin. You receive 12 free games played at the triggering bet size. At the start of the free-spins sequence, the Bottle Shooting Bonus activates: a row of bottles is displayed on screen, and you select individual bottles one by one to reveal multiplier values ranging from 1x to 10x. Each selection reveals a multiplier, and the sequence continues until you reach the bottle that ends the picking stage, the last revealed multiplier is the value applied to your total free-spins win. This interactive element means the outcome of the Bottle Shooting stage directly determines the final payout from the 12 free games, creating a player-input moment that distinguishes Chicago from purely passive free-spins rounds. The wild remains active during free spins, substituting normally across the 20 paylines.
