The Godfather (Light and Wonder) Slot Review

When you’re one of the most iconic movies in history, you can expect plenty of slots to use you as inspiration. That includes The Godfather, with its Light and Wonder slot iteration not the first time Don Corleone and family have been found in casinos. What makes this version stand out is not the 5 reels or the 10 paylines but the incredible graphics and soundtrack creating an utterly immersive atmosphere. The numerous The Godfather (Light and Wonder) bonus features help, too.

Don't ever take sides with anyone against the Family

Few movies have received the critical acclaim or had the cultural impact of The Godfather. The legendary soundtrack is reflected in the soundtrack of The Godfather (Light and Wonder) slot, instantly atmospheric and utterly captivating.

This isn’t just a story about the Mafia, but a family drama. There’s Don Vito Corleone, the titular Godfather, played so memorably by Marlon Brando. From a penniless Sicilian immigrant to the head of one of the most powerful criminal organisations in America, he dispenses wisdom and favours whilst expecting unquestioning obedience. His sons try with varying levels of success to live up to his name.

Make Him an Offer He Can’t Refuse

Vito is the only Corleone to appear in person in The Godfather (Light and Wonder) slot. There’s no sign of Michael, let alone Sonny and Fredo. What we do have is the Don’s office, from his wooden desk and a cigar still burning to a luxurious leather armchair. It’s an immersive setting, with whiskey, cigars and olive oil packing the reels. You’ll also see the horse’s head, subject of one of the movie’s most memorable scenes. We won’t spoil it if you don’t know.

The Godfather (Light and Wonder) RTP and Variance

We can’t imagine Don Corleone accepting a return to player average of 93.94%, but that’s what we find in The Godfather (Light and Wonder) slot. For all that we remind you that RTP is theoretical and that your session may end up deviating significantly from the average, this is probably the biggest negative in our The Godfather (Light and Wonder) slot review.

Another way to reduce the risk of low returns in slots is to play in demo mode. This can also help offset the high variance, which requires a lot of patience to try to reach a large win.

How to Play The Godfather (Light and Wonder)

Take the gun, leave the cannoli and spin the reels:

1. The settings gear on the right will lead you to the paytable and game rules as well as sound and music buttons.
2. In demo play, you’ll also find the option to try various features for free.
3. Back on the main screen, also on the right, open the bet window to choose the best bet level for you.
4. There’s an autoplay button for automatic spins, but it doesn’t include your limits as stopping points. Stay alert.
5. You could always just use the regular spin button. Have fun!
6. Don’t forget to take regular breaks.

How to Win at The Godfather (Light and Wonder)

You’re not battling the five families here, but 5 reels. There are only 10 paylines, so finding a sequence of winning symbols isn’t easy. You need at least 2 themed symbols or 3 card symbols, all matching from left to right, for success. The base game also has a bonus symbol to trigger features.

Top Wins

• There are five low-paying card symbols, their win multiplier either x10 or x15 for 5 matches.
• Themed winning symbols come with multipliers of x75, x200, or, for the Don himself at the top of the paytable, x500. You need him for a max win.
• The bonus symbol doesn’t have any payout potential of its own, but it’s both a wild symbol and a scatter symbol, acting as a substitute working from anywhere and triggering bonuses.

Bet Range

0.10 is the minimum bet and 100.00 is the maximum.

The Godfather (Light and Wonder) Bonuses

Many slots have bonus features, but some have more than others. In the modern video slot, you may expect free spins, as in The Godfather, but expanding symbols and a hold and win round to add to the thrills and hopefully your total win.

Free Spins

It’s a wild symbol, a scatter symbol and the bonus symbol. We’re talking about the book containing the Corleone family history:

• 3 symbols = 8 free spins and 1 expanding symbol
• 4 symbols = 10 free spins and 2 expanding symbols
• 5 symbols = 15 free spins and 3 expanding symbols
• Expanding symbols fill a reel from top to bottom

Hold and Win

During the hold-and-win bonus round, only bonus symbols remain on the reels. You have 3 re-spins to collect win multipliers of up to x10, but new bonus symbols can reset the re-spin count. At the end of the round, you win the combined value of every visible win multiplier.

Max-win 5,664x

Volatility Medium

Top RTP 94.09%

The Godfather (Light and Wonder) Review - Our Verdict

This slot has so much atmosphere. It would have been nice if The Godfather (Light and Wonder) had included a few more members of the Corleone family, but the graphics and soundtrack are stunning, dropping you straight into the movie’s world. A free spins bonus is always good news, as is a hold-and-win feature, so the gameplay’s exciting with a decent max win.
