The Godfather


WMS Gaming: The Godfather A 5 reel, video, multi level progressive, based on the hit 1972 movie of the same name, produced by WMS Gaming.

The game can be played in 2 distinct themes:

·         243 line My Daughter's Wedding
·         25 line Corleone's Office

Free Spin Bonus

It's a 5x free spin bonus. During your free spins, Sonny Corleone gives you symbols to find.

Find all the symbols within the 5 free spins to complete the challenge and you are offered a choice of 1 of 3 envelopes with different credit values. The credit vales are shown to you. Then the envelopes are shuffled and you select one. The envelopes are an added bonus to the credits already won throughout the free spins.

The free spin bonus will continue as long as you continue to find the symbols that Sonny assigns. If enough symbols are not found, the free spin bonus ends and you return to the base game.

The Progressive Bonus

To activate the progressive jackpot you must find 3 matching symbols and the revolver symbol in the last reel.

In this bonus, a large revolver is displayed on screen and you must select a bullet from one of the 6 chambers.  You can either win a varying credit value or a progressive jackpot amount.

You are then given the option to either accept the credit value/progressive or decline it and try again. Choose right and you are offered a new credit value or progressive value. Choose wrong and the bonus round ends and half of the original win.

There are 6 progressives to win. The overall aim is to keep picking correctly until you reach “The offer you can’t refuse” by the Don himself, which is the highest progressive jackpot on offer.
