Empty the Bank review

Theme and Storyline

This slot is themed around a bank heist.

Players will feel like they’ve joined a ragtag team of bandits determined to grab as many coins and jewels as possible. The mood feels like a Pixar production of Ocean’s 11 with a lighthearted twist.

The tantalising loot stands out in a starry cityscape and players will want their share of treasure. It’s fun to get caught up in the caper and take a chance on snagging the big score.

Graphics, Sounds and Animations

The soundtrack is filled with sirens, car alarms, and cat mews reinforcing the night city setting. This ambiance is combined with a classic jazzy tune that suggests an escape scene. The spins and wins are accompanied by classic chimes and jingles.

Though the game is themed around a bank heist, the symbols portray more than just stacks of cash. Players will find eye-catching bars of gold, bags of gems, and even a crown among the abundance of treasures.

Most memorable is the bandit character who smiles in his mask with an air of camaraderie. Players will feel assured that he has their back.

The animation of the starry sky in the background is especially gorgeous and echoes the shimmer of the gems in the reels. A towering skyscraper stands nearby, making it clear that the heist is taking place in an iconic city, perhaps New York or Chicago.

Overall, the animation and soundtrack of this game brings players into the story and sets the mood of a playful heist.

Gameplay

Empty the Bank is a five reel, four row slot, with 20 win lines.

This game has a Betting feature, in which the player may select the bet multiplier that will impact the gameplay. For example, with a bet multiplier of x25, the chance of being awarded a respin round goes up. In addition to this, more Bonus symbols will be added to the reels.

The maximum win in this game is x10,000 total player’s bet. If this amount is achieved, the game round concludes.

Wilds, Bonuses and Free Spins

The Wild symbol substitutes for all symbols except the Bonus symbol.

During the base game, the Bonus symbol appears on reels 1, 3, and 5.

There are also a plethora of special symbols that add multipliers and work in conjunction with other special symbols to increase winnings.

When players land 3 or more Bonus symbols, this begins the Respin feature. During this feature, special reels replace the base game reels and can allow for more positions to be filled. These special reels contain blank spaces or Special symbols with a random multiplier applied.

Players begin with 3 respins. Special symbols remain on the reels after they land, until the feature concludes (unless they are displaced by another special symbol).

The Respin feature is reset whenever a Special symbol lands. The feature concludes when the reels are entirely filled with special symbols or the player runs out of respins. At the end of the feature, the multipliers of Special symbols collected by the player are added up and applied to the player’s bet, before being paid out.
