The peculiar name of the secret setting named Speakeasy appears because of the restricted and silent access (usually through a covert passage), where the visitors had to give a code word and were supposed to remain quiet during their stay. It was surely hard not to be noisy and showy when the Speakeasy establishments usually allowed gambling, dancing, jazz jam sessions and other social events along with drinking of illegal liquor.
A similar cool jazz tune is used in the video slot. KA Gaming had prepared 3 special cocktails, based on strong alcohol, which together with the burning in the dark candle represent the 4 premium symbols in the game (all paying from 2OAK):
- Blue – Vodka Kamikaze – worth 33.33x
- Yellow – Champagne Mimosa – worth 20x
- Red – Strawberry Martini – worth 13.33x (all the total bet for 5OAK on a payline).
The neon package here comes with transparent reels on a 5×3 luminous outfit with 15 invariable paylines, and all the standard symbols on the paytable plus the Wilds can be stacked during both – base and Bonus spins. The beverages are served with a good hit frequency (of nearly 37%) and the bar (betting) area is quite wide (up to 225 CAD).
Through in-house testing and evaluation, we have discovered that Speakeasy slot has the following technical features: Medium-High Volatility, drawn-out game cycle and an RTP of 96.05%.
If you are frisking for eye-catching 3D visuals or thrilling gameplay, you should look elsewhere. While the bar is full of refreshments there are not many energizing and intoxicating elements here. In fact, there is certain monotony, which can surely kill the magic and confidence, you are trying to build with the alcoholic beverages.
When we think of the historically famous clandestine bars, compared to the slot we found some apparent snags: the lack of the cosy facets inherent in the Speakeasy concept and the insufficient entertainment (in our opinion) to be returning to this machine often.
The paytable actually shows cheap (for a 15-liner) values attached to all symbols (not just the aforementioned cocktails). And because there are no Multipliers or Jackpots available, the slot offers extremely poor maximum prospects – no more than 500x the total bet. You must be really tipsy to ignore this detail.
Taking all ingredients into consideration, the Speakeasy slot earns our negative recommendations on betting the bonus money and real cash as well (due to the strikingly low maximum outlook). It doesn’t support the bankroll well in long sessions, and a huge increase in the balance is highly unlikely.
Bonus Features of Speakeasy slot
- Wilds – The neon Wild Speakeasy sign serves to replace all (except Scatters) symbols, missing in a pay combination. Wilds are non-value icons, which can fall only on the central 3 reels.
- Scatters & Free Spins – The red dice are the Scatters in the game. Landing 3/4/5 of them will payout 2x/5x/10x the bet and will trigger a Bonus of (always) 15 FS, which are also not re-trigger-able. There is no difference in gameplay between the Bonus and the base game.
