The theme of bank heists is one we’ve seen a few times in slot games over the years, due to the ability to bring the story to life through the medium, but we’ve never seen one quite like Bust The Bank from Microgaming.A game that landed almost five years ago, Bust The Bank is still one of the most unique titles to tackle the heist concept, with a playful theme, charming design, and exciting gameplay features.
About the slot
No filler symbols on the reels is always something that it’s nice to see, and it’s what you get here, with only themed symbols such as robbers, cops, police dogs, security vans, explosives, and more appearing on the reels.The wild is the Bust The Bank logo and replaces everything bar the bomb scatter, and the safe and piggy bank bonus symbols to aid winning combinations.A cartoon-like style is used throughout, making this more an entertaining story about hapless burglars than it is a terrifying depiction of a bank heist.
Gameplay
There’s a bunch of features on offer here. Land the green safe symbol on reels one and five and you’ll win a cash prize by opening the safe door, while the piggy bank bonus symbol will smash the piggy bank for more coins.The thieves will also award random coin amounts sporadically, but the free spins feature is the big one, with eight free spins that have the first and fifth reels completely wild throughout. An extra scatter symbol in the round will award another spin too, so the wins can build up in a hurry here, if you’re lucky.Bust The Bank may not be the most talked about slot in the Microgaming portfolio, but it’s one of the most fun, and there’s profit to be made for the fortunate.
