Let the crispy winds of Chicago fill your lungs and take you to the times when bootleggers, mafia and jazz ruled the world. Today Endorphina presents its new astonishing slot Windy City which will tell you a story of a love triangle set in the 1930s – with the big mafia boss, his closest associate and a beautiful fiancée. Will the players be bold enough to make history on the reels of Windy City?

Players will absolutely love the atmosphere of the Chicago 30s: beautiful ladies, ruthless gangsters, expensive cars, guns, cigars, and banned whiskey. The funky music theme paired with the memorable graphics will make them ask themselves whether they are still in present times. If players ever wanted to walk in the shoes of a big mafia boss, the time has come! They will get to play the game, to feel this vibrant city and walk amongst the famous skyscrapers that kiss the sky.

The 1930s never go out of style, and that means the new slot is not just aesthetically pleasing, but also its mathematics are astonishingly reliable. Windy City is a 5-reel, 3-row and 10-payline slot with the bustling spirit of the Chicago city. The Mafia Boss is a wild symbol, that substitutes for all the symbols except for the Scatter. The boss’ car is a scatter symbol, that in a combination of three or more, will trigger 10 free games that can also be retriggered. During the free spins, the scatter acts as a wild symbol and can substitute for other symbols.

The Head of Marketing at Endorphina, Maria Bashkevich, says: “During this difficult time, we feel the urge to bring even more joy and endorphins to the players, to keep them entertained and cheer them with traveling around the globe while staying safe at home. Windy City is a great slot to forget about everything and dive into a charismatic gangster world. It has bright graphics, catchy music, and new math. I hope this slot will be warmly welcomed.”
