Speakeasy - Review, Demo Play, Payout, Free Spins & Bonuses

Introduction

Step back in time to America’s Prohibition era and head to the Speakeasy where drinks - and wins - could be on the cards. Roll the dice to see if scatter wins come your way or if you’ll find some wild action in this formerly illegal, imaginary drinking den.

Speakeasy Theme and Story

The theme of this slot revolves around illicit drinking dens that grew up during the Prohibition era in the United States, which started in 1920 and went on for 13 years or more in some states. 

The simple design of this game focuses on the neon Speakeasy sign at the top of the reels and colourful drinks with what looks to be different types of cocktails or spirits. This slot will never win any prizes for game design, attention to detail, or imagination but the simplicity does make for a clear user interface. Even novice slots’ spinners shouldn’t have a problem seeing what they have to do with this game.

Speakeasy RTP and Variance

We were unable to verify what the theoretical return to player ratio or variance of the Speakeasy slot is meant to be. It is fair to say that most KA Gaming slots offer an RTP close to the industry average of around 96 per cent, but there is no guarantee that this is the case with Speakeasy. Try it out in free demo mode and see for yourself how it plays, although remember that no 2 playing sessions will ever be the same when you spin with any online slot.

How to Play Speakeasy

If you have played KA Gaming demo slots before, then the controls here may feel familiar. If you haven’t seen the likes of KA Gaming's Secret of Ocean slot, don’t worry. Here’s what you need to know:

1. Use the ‘i’ tab to view the game rules. This is also how you access the paytable. Simply use the right and left arrows to scroll through the information. You can find out more about the bonus features and special symbols in the game here.
2. The paytable will update according to how much you set your bet level at.
3. Click on the coin stack to open the betting menu and decide how much you want to stake on each spin.
4. There is a speaker symbol if you want to turn the sounds on or off.
5. Hold down the spin button to access the autoplay option or just press it quickly to start each individual game.
6. There is a turbo button on the main screen. Hold it down if you want to play the slot at a faster than usual speed. Just be aware of how much faster your balance can disappear playing this way if the wins don’t roll in.
7. Your playing balance, total bet, and the value of any wins are all displayed on the main screen of this choice of free play slots. Make sure you keep an eye on this information as it will help you to always bet responsibly. 
8. Make sure you stake sensibly and never bet more than you can reasonably afford to lose. This is vital if you decide to play for real money.

Speakeasy Bet & Win Sizes

The 15 paylines are fixed in this game, so you don’t have to worry about how many to play during each spin. You do have to decide how much to stake per game, however, and options range from 0.15 to 225.00.

All wins, except for scatter prizes, are paid from left to right and are calculated based on your bet per line. Only the biggest win on a payline will be paid. The higher paying icons will reward you for matching 2 to 5 symbols. The lower paying royal symbols require that you land at least 3-of-a-kind. If you’re betting at the maximum possible level, here’s what you could win for 5-strong combinations of the theme-specific picture symbols.

Blue glass 7,500.00
Gold glass 4,500.00
Red cocktail glass 3,000.00
Red, orange, and blue glass 1,500.00

The dice scatters will also pay out for matching 3 to 5 symbols anywhere on the reels. This prize is based on a multiplier of your total bet and equates to a maximum possible prize of 2,250.00.

Speakeasy Bonus Features

Speakeasy has a wild symbol that can appear on reels 2, 3, and 4 and replace other symbols, except for the dice scatter, to help you to create or improve winning combinations.

The dice scatter will pay out for matching 3 to 5 symbols on the grid and also triggers the free spins bonus. Land 3 or more and 15 free games will be yours. This feature cannot be retriggered as you play.

Speakeasy Review

This is a colourful slot with a clear user interface and a simplicity that may appeal to new slots’ spinners. More seasoned players may enjoy the good betting range and high maximum stake, although the limited selection of bonus features may also disappoint. This game is all about spinning and, hopefully, winning and doesn’t try to enhance the entertainment with lots of bells and whistles, in terms of design or gameplay. You will have to decide whether this makes it a good fit for you or not. In our case, we think that the slot doesn’t really know what it wants to be or do. It doesn’t feel like a classic slot and yet is too basic to be a truly contemporary offering. Give it a try in free demo mode and see if you agree.
