One of Microgaming's greatest hits is Bust The Bank slot. According to Russell Potvin, editor for Canada's Grizzly Gambling, this is a video slot machine that is a bit different from other bank robbing games since it is from the perspective of both the robbers and cops. The look is also cartoonish so it is different from the more common cigars and guns.
Bust The Bank slot is 5-reeled. It is really enjoyable and has huge prizes. Players can win in 243 ways. To start, gamers choose the value of coins from as low as £0.01 to £1. The minimum is 0.30 for each spin.
The biggest paying symbol is robber with green cap which amounts to 1,500 coins every 5 matches. Other well paying symbols include female cop in a car, enraged cop and 2nd robber. Symbols such as police dog, alarm clock, armoured car and bank are low paying.
Bust The Bank slot offers bonus features. For instance, accumulating a number of scatter symbols (a bomb that has crossbones and skull) pays out coins ñ 60 coins for 3 icons, 300 for 4 icons, and 1,500 for 5 icons. In addition, a player gets free spins round, which means a bonus of 8 spins. Additional scatter symbols found during the freespins round adds another free spin. Winnings from the bonus round is multiplied with the total amount staked.
The title logo stands for the wild symbol. It can be used to replace any icon to help a player complete any payline. It is equivalent to 1 scatter or 2 bonus symbols.
This game has 2 bonus rounds which are not triggered while in the freespin round. The symbols are piggy bank and safe. A safe gives as many as 6 prizes per spin. When the icon falls on reel 1 or 5, a player gets some cash prize, and all icons below the safe are substituted with the same amount of cash prize. On the other hand, a piggy bank icon that lands on the 3rd reel gives bank bonus. These 2 rounds make Bust The Bank more interesting than other bank-robbing options which do not offer such extra rounds.
The highest jackpot amounts to 15,000 coins or £15,000 in cash. That amount, together with the two bonus rounds mentioned above definitely make for interesting features that would surely entice potential players. To make it even better for newbies, free plays are allowed.
