The Italian Job Slot Review 2024

The Italian Job

Chartwell's The Italian Job is a 5 reel slot that offers 9 paylines. In this Mafia themed slot you will find wild symbols and scatters among its best features, plus a top jackpot of $12,500 that will put a smile on your face.

The Italian Job seems to be a slot themed around the movie with the same name, where a few guys do a robbery while using some small cars. You will find those cars in the surrounding scenery. The reels are placed on the right side of the screen, so you get a chance to see a little bit more of the background image on the left. There are lots of things crammed together in that space, so it's more a collection of the different things you can find in the game, starting with the small Mini cars and continuing with airplanes, a bus with a load of cash in the back, the UK flag and an airplane coming down for a landing. The symbols give you the characters from the story and various other scenes. The only downside I can see here is that the symbols are not consistent, sometimes placed in squares (with regular and round corners) and other times in circles. The images that appear on these icons start with the poker cards, only here the symbol is quite small and placed in a corner, while the rest of the symbol is taken by a scene (Ace card is a scene with three ladies, two of which are in bikinis). The other symbols include the old VW bus, the Bonus Mini cars (three types), the logo as a wild, the jukebox and the bomb trigger.

You will get a chance to place a bet in this game that starts at $0.01 per line and goes up to $5 per line. With 9 lines into play, that gets the wagers in the $0.01 to $45 range. Payouts go up to 2500 coins, or $12,500.

The Bonus feature uses the three Mini cars as symbols (blue, white and red). You need at least three of these cars if you want the bonus round, and they have to be on adjacent reels.

The wild is the game logo and it will do its usual job of substitution, only here you will only get it to work to help you with the bomb trigger and the jukebox symbols (2nd and 3rd best paying icons). While it's better than nothing, it would've been even better if the poker cards benefited from the same treatment.

The Italian Job is a great game overall, with graphics that make the slot look like a lot of fun. The features may be standard but does not take away from this one at all.
