For more information on the Peaky Blinders sloy, please read on for a full review and details of all the features

Peaky Blinders slot game comes with three special features that are themed from show events. With this in mind, fans will enjoy the myriad references. Features include:

Shelby Betting Shop Bonus: Land a Shelby Betting Shop scatter on the last reel to activate the feature. When this bonus activated, all high paying character symbols will pay out a monetary value on a separate betting slip.

By Order of the Peaky Blinders Bonus: Land a By Order of the Peaky Blinders scatter on the last reel to activate the second feature. Once the feature is active, a respin will start turning wilds and character symbols into the same game symbol for big winning chances.

Peaky Blinders Free Spins: Land the logo symbol on reels 1 and 3 alongside one of the scatter symbols to unlock:

The free spins versions of these features play out in the same way as their base game counterparts. During either bonus, the feature cannot be re-triggered.

Peaky Blinders is a 20 payline and five reel online slot playable from 20p to £100 per spin. To win, you will need to land three or more matching symbols on one of the 20 paylines - the more matching symbols in a win line, the bigger your potential prize.

The symbols in the game are divided into two parts. First, we have the high-value picture symbols, with familiar faces like Tommy Shelby, Michael Gray and Polly Gray. On the lower end of the scale, we have the card suit symbols, which have been painted in the same grimey paint as the hit show.

Before you start playing, you may want to adjust your stakes. You can do this directly from the menu - or by pressing the minus/plus buttons. Once satisfied, press the spin button to start playing the slot.

Underneath the bet buttons, you will find options for autoplay. Press the button to set how many spins you wish to play for and then press the spin button to begin. For greater control over your betting, you can set the total bet value and how much you are willing to lose.

The TV show is famous for its gritty tone - highlighting the seediness of the characters and acts involved. All of which has been captured perfectly by Pragmatic plays first foray into licensed video slots. Fans will find familiar characters, references and even features that will have you each for the set-top box. 

However, we did find the features to be on the lacking side. Especially when compared to other licensed TV games, which can become really adventurous with their bonuses. Having said that -there's enough here to impress the fans and its an impressive first attempt from Pragmatic. If you have never watched Peaky Blinders before, then this slot might convince you to have a watch.
