Wild Symbol

The game's wild symbol helps create more winning combinations by substituting for other paying symbols.

Cascade

When you create a winning combination, the Cascade feature is activated. Then all symbols that were part of the winning combination will disappear from the reels and new symbols will fall down to cover the empty positions, where this continues as long as new wins are created.

Strongboxes

When you create a win, its value will be added to the total win bar, which is paid out when the cascade feature has ended. If you land a key symbol together with one or more strongboxes, you will receive cash prizes. You can get the following from the different sizes:

If you land multiple bomb multipliers at the same time, their values will be added together before being applied to the total win bar. This symbol can land with values of 2X, 3X, 4X, 5X, 10X, 15X, 25X, 50X, 75X and 100X.

Bonus Games

There are three different bonus games that you can activate during your spins, where the number of scatter symbols determines which variant you activate. If you land 1, 2 or 3 scatter symbols, the Strongbox Storage, Daisy's Dynamite and Bowery Savings Bank are activated respectively.

Strongbox Storage

You are welcomed with 10 free spins and every scatter symbol that lands on the reels, will give you 1 extra free spin. During your spins, you will be able to store up to 5 Strongboxes if you land them without a key symbol. Once you land a key symbol, it will unlock all stored Strongboxes and any Strongboxes on the reels.

Daisy's Dynamite

You are welcomed with 10 free spins and every scatter symbol that lands on the reels, will give you 1 extra free spin. Within this bonus game, you will be able to land Dynamite multipliers, and these will be stored into a TNT box. In order to claim the value of these stored Dynamite multipliers, you must land a detonator, which results in the total amount of multipliers being applied to the total pending win. The Dynamite multipliers can land with values of 2x, 3X, 4X, 5X, 10X, 15X, 25X, 50X, 75X or 100X.

Bowery Savings Bank

You are welcomed with 10 free spins and every scatter symbol that lands on the reels, will give you 1 extra free spin. When you create a win, it will be stored as usual to a total pending win, but also to a separate vault, where you take part of this value by landing a dollar symbol.

You can increase this value further by landing the dice symbol, which will increase the value with the corresponding number that the dice show, where you can get between 2X up to 12X. However, not all symbols that land give out positive news, because if you land the badge symbol, a police officer will claim 10%, 20%, 30%, 40% or 50% of your current value in the vault.

The Bowery Boys Slot Conclusion

This game provider tends to create slots set in more peaceful locations out in the countryside or forests, but more recently a more action-packed theme has begun to be used, where we within 2021 saw their banger Wanted Dead or a Wild. This time we travel back to the mid 1800s, where we meet the Bowery Boys. A gang that by day consisted of law abiding citizens from the fire department, business, mechanics and butchers, but who at night shifted to engage in more lawless activities such as street fights among other things. The theme and reflection of this era has been very well recreated within this slot, where a solid design and atmospheric music has been applied. Its scatter-win based payout system provides a delightful experience during the spins, where you never can rule out a win until all the symbols have fallen into place, and its associated cascade feature also helps at times to make the spins very long lasting. The wild symbols help as usual to generate more wins, but it is not the only special symbol that can land, where we have among other things a bomb multiplier that can give the total wins a hefty boost. The strongbox will also be able to land, whereby landing a key symbol simultaneously, you will receive an instant win.

Yes, there is certainly an entertaining base game to take part in on this slot, but the pace picks up even more once you activate the bonus games. Depending on whether you land 1, 2 or 3 scatter symbols, you activate one of the three different bonus games available. All of them are unique in their own way, where in the strongbox storage, you can collect up to 5 strongboxes, even if no associated key symbol has landed at the same time. This usually results in not missing out on any winnings from the strongboxes, as a key symbol that lands at a later stage will open all the strongboxes. If you activate the Daisy's Dynamite, you will be treated to a festive feature, where all multiplier dynamites that land will be collected, then activated by landing a detonator. As the bonus buy feature reveals, the Bowery Savings Bank bonus feature is the best, where you will collect all wins into an external vault. You can get hefty boosts to this external vault, but a police officer can also pop up at times, where he demands different percentages from your external vault.

All in all, this is a slot that offers a lot of entertainment, where its many different elements result in the gaming experience being the opposite of monotonous. Its high volatility permeates the entire course of the game, where sudden huge wins can be created randomly. They have a solid size on the potential max win which is on par with what they usually use and assuming the higher RTP is used it is also within a good size, but as a player you should check out what the gaming operators use, as the RTP can be as low as 88.45% among some of them.

The Bowery Boys is a slot that truly reflects the hectic time period that this gang ruled of the streets within, where the player gets to enjoy a gigantic mix of features and many adrenaline-filled moments.
