Fancy trying your hand at being a piggy banker. Why not give Bankin’ Bacon a try, the 2021 slot developed by Blueprint Gaming. This high variance slot utilises the Collector mechanic and offers a top prize of x50,000 of your wager.

Slot details

Bankin’ Bacon is played on a 6×4 grid with 4096 ways to win and costs from as little as 10p up to £10 per spin. It’s available to play across all devices, and the RTP is set at 95% which is slightly below average.A cartoon design is accompanied by a jazzy soundtrack and the symbols are made up with 10-Ace royals, wads of bank notes, a till, cheques and a purse. The till has the highest value, landing 6 of them on a payline will give you x200 of your wager and also payout for just 2 on a payline.The scatter symbol is the gold coin and the wild symbol is the piggy bank.

Gameplay

To trigger the banker spins bonus round you need to land 3, 4, 5 or 6 scatters which will award you with 10, 15, 20 or 30 free spins respectively. You then have the choice of collecting your free spins or spinning the wheel where you can win up to 50 free spins.In the bonus round 3 cheques each with different values will come into play, but if you opted to spin the wheel only one of the cheque symbols will be in play.The wild pig symbol is also in play and combined with other symbols creates a winning combo. The pig collects any cheques landing on the reels on the same spin and if it collects a green cheque you are awarded with an extra 10 free spins without any limits.

Verdict

Bankin’ Bacon is a fun slot even though the RTP is a tad disappointing. The best action is limited to the bonus round where the game ramps up with an opportunity to land the top prize worth £250k.
