Pragmatic Play's Peaky Blinders 2: The Shelby Empire slot out next month

Pragmatic Play will release a second Peaky Blinders online slot game next month called Peaky Blinders 2: The Shelby Empire. Inspired by the British TV series, surrounding Birmingham gangsters, the second instalment of the crime-themed slot game will be released on 12 February.

With a host of complex characters who are played by an outstanding cast, a compelling storyline showcasing a working-class family of criminals and a phenomenal soundtrack with immense accompanying visuals, Peaky Blinders is one of the most popular TV shows this century.

Within the slot game you will see the heroes of the popular series, namely the Shelby family, as symbols and card names with much bigger prizes on offer than in the first edition. Players will see buildings on either side, surrounding a grid compiled of the characters and other icons.

The low-paying symbols are the metal-made royals. As most would expect, Thomas Shelby – portrayed by Cillian Murphy in the hit TV show – is the top-paying symbol and the icon that every player will want to see pop up.

Alongside Arthur Shelby, Polly Gray and John Shelby, other symbols include the likes of Peaky Blinders bonus, Shelby betting shop, ‘By order of the Peaky Blinders’ and the Shelby Co Ltd wild.

The Shelby betting shop and the ‘by order of the Peaky Blinders’ symbols both land on the fifth reel only, with the former giving a random payout to all character symbols that have appeared on the grid; and the latter triggering bonus re-spins.

Just as in the first game, the Shelby betting shop feature is triggered whenever the Shelby betting symbol lands without two Peaky Blinders bonuses on other reels. There are also special reels during the feature, if your luck is in.

Another bonus feature is ‘by order of the Peaky Blinders’, which is triggered whenever players manage to land the bonus symbol with two Peaky Blinders bonus symbols within the other four reels and pays reward to all the character symbols that are present.

However, to appease new punters as well as old fans, there’s an eye-watering prize of up to 21,600x your stake. A minimum bet of £0.10 on each spin is available, so low-stakes players aren’t missing out either.

The slot will contain a 5x3 grid with 10 paylines, and the opportunity to win free spins or take part in a bonus game. Despite the fact that the number of lines is halved, compared to the first edition, the potential win is much higher. 

Considering the success of the first Peaky Blinders slot, it appears as though the second instalment will prove just as popular. The design and soundtrack appear to be identical to the first edition, with the features also very similar.

Viewers engage with the lead characters throughout the show, exploring themes of power and loyalty, and examine the blurred lines between what is good and what is evil.

However, it is clear to see that if Peaky Blinders 2 can replicate the first game - with a larger winning potential - then it’s sure to be a success with plenty of punters aiming to scoop the jackpot prize starting from next month.
