Pragmatic Play Bring Peaky Blinders To Life On The Reels

Pragmatic Play invites you out the comfort of modern life and into the grimy backstreets of 19th century Birmingham England. Join of the ranks of the infamous Peaky Blinders on the reels of Pragmatic Play’s exciting new slot and spin to win your share of the bounty that comes with running with England’s toughest hoods.

 Peaky Blinder Perfection

Based on the BAFTA award-winning Netflix drama, Peaky Blinders, the slot revisits beloved characters, infamous ruffians and nostalgic locations. The Shelby crime family and the Shelby Betting Shop are brought to life on the reels using a rich oil painting design style that perfectly suits the era of the show.

The main characters from the Netflix original drama once again take centre stage in the Pragmatic Play video slot. Each of the high value character symbols is represented by period-correct portrait of the actor who plays them on screen:

• Tommy Shelby – Dashing and dangerous as always in his flat cap and pressed collar Cillian Murphy reprises his role as head of the Shelby crime family, Thomas “Tommy” Shelby.
• Elizabeth "Polly" Gray – The matriarch of the Shelby family it is up to Polly to keep her nephews in line and the coffers full.
• Arthur Shelby – The brawn to Tommy’s brain, Arthur is the eldest and the toughest of the Shelby boys.
• Michael Gray – Hungry for power Michael is a cousin to the Shelby’s who acts as the family’s Chief Account.

In keeping with the era and the tougher climate, they represent the well put together characters are offset against gritty settings such as a rundown alleyway during the main game and a cigar smoke-filled desk during Free Spins.

This has also spilt over into the design choices around lower value symbols and special symbols. The Ace through Ten Royal symbols is designed to look as though they are scuffed and scarred metal elements. The Wild symbol is a copper sigil sporting a horseshoe, a Peaky Blinder and the word WILD.

Pragmatic Play designed and produced a fantastic custom score for the slot that sets the tone and pace of the game. As a fan of the drama, however, it would have been tops to have heard the actual series theme song, Red Right Hand by Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, play as the reels roll.
