The wombat says: “I’m gonna make him an offer he can’t refuse.” The Codfather slot is inspired by legendary mob movie The Godfather, except those slot wizards NextGen (the people behind Emperor’s Garden) had the ingenious idea of combining the mobster theme with animated cartoon fishes.
OK Wombat fans, we know it sounds a bit nuts, but actually it works! Think Goodfellas under the sea and you’ll get the picture. An underwater crime network ruled by a cigar-smoking, gun-toting Trout. Dive in to the murky world of marine mobsters, and see if you’ll come up for air with some cash, or if you’ll be sleeping with the fishes. Permanently. You know we love a marine slot here at Wombat Casino. We’ve got Dolphin Gold Stellar Jackpots, we’ve got mermaids and now we’ve got fish for Cod’s sake.
Look and Feel
The animated reels in Codfather are set deep beneath the ocean waves on a watery backdrop complete with coral, seaweed and bubbles. We do love a fishy slot here at Wombat Towers. The Reel Strike slot anyone? Lucky Angler?You get the picture.
This slot’s soundtrack is not too far off the original score to The Godfather which is a nice touch.
Game Play
Codfather is a typical NextGen slot with 5 reels, 3 rows and 20 paylines. Your just symbols on the reels are made up of a worm on a hook, a shark in a violin case (in place of a machine gun), the dead head of a seahorse (another nod to The Godfather) and 3 fishy mafioso complete with suits and smoking cigars.
The usual playing cards 9, 10, J, Q, K & A make up your lower value symbols.
The Wild symbol in the game is the fedora-sporting Codfather himself. He will substitute for all other symbols on the reels but will only land only on reels 2, 3 and 4. He will also double any wins he appears in – cheers Codfather!
The Codfather game Logo symbol is the Scatter, and sets off the Free Spins round if you land 3x or more of them.
Bonus Features
Big Boss Bonus
As discussed above, the Wild symbol in Codfather slot only appears on the second, third and fourth reels, but if you’re lucky enough to get 3x of the mob boss symbols on the reels at the same time, you’ll set off a nice little bonus.
Next you’re taken to a second screen where you’ll be sat opposite 5 fish- faced mobsters at a table. All you have to do is pick the fish who’ll dish you out a peace offering in the form of a cheeky cash prize. And if you’re lucky, this don of deep might pay out more than once!
Fishy Business Free Spins
3x or more of Scatters will trigger off your Free Spins bonus round where you’ll be awarded 10 extra goes all with a x3 multiplier. The Free Spins can be re-triggered so keep your eyes peeled for those logos, and the Big Boss Bonus is also in play during the round.
Gamble Feature
If you’re feeling very lucky, click on the ‘Gamble’ button after any winning spin. You can double or quadruple your win by correctly guessing the colour or suit of the face-down playing card. Get it wrong though and your cash prize is wiped out and the gamble game is over.
Conclusion
In gangster movies ‘sleeping with the fishes’ means meeting with an untimely death. But you won’t end up in a watery grave in this slot, as although the pay outs are small, they occur quite often. We love love love the fishy mobster theme, and think you will too. Plaice your bets!
