Bank Raid

Have you ever robbed a bank? You don’t really have to answer, but I’d bet you most likely did not. But we all know quite a lot about such an endeavour from movies, and most times bank robberies can be well-planned and thrilling. 

There’s no need to put on a mask and head to your local bank, you might be able to feel the same thrills in Bank Raid, a video slot with plenty of cash in the vault. Now let’s see how many guards there are in there and set up an escape route. 

Theme

Bank Raid is a cartoon-style robbery game, all the characters and symbols are colourful and with somewhat of an 80s vibe. The whole atmosphere is more likely to resemble a comedy movie than a thriller, mostly due to the cartoon-style design. 

The slot is set inside a bank vault and the vibe that it creates can be very appealing to fun-loving players. The letters representing playing cards have also been adapted to the theme: the J has a police hat on, the 10 has a lantern, while the Q has a crowbar in its design. 

Betting Options and Functions

The layout of the slot is a classic one, with 5 reels and 3 rows and a total of 25 flexible paylines. That means you can decide to play with just one payline if you want to, you can change the number as often as you want. 

The minimum possible bet is 0.1 per payline, while the maximum total bet is 100, which means 4 per line. The maximum payout is pretty good: 10,000 coins. Ironically, that big payout is given by the Police Car symbol, the Scatter in this game. 

Features

The police car also brings about the most intense part of the gameplay: 

• Free Spins

If you land three Police Car symbols you will be awarded 10 free spins. During the free rolls session the Burglar symbol, which is the Wild, plays a bigger part. When it lands, the Wild will expand to take up the entire reel, giving you increased chances of forming winning combinations! 

Moreover, if you get three or more Scatters during a free spin, that will give you ten extra free rolls to enjoy! 

• Wild

During the base game, the Burglar symbol acts like a regular Wild, replacing any other symbol except the Scatter. If you manage to get 5 Wilds on a line that will reward you with a prize worth 40 times the stake. 

Conclusion

Bank Raid is an entertaining video slot from Novomatic, the cartoon-style design can be appealing to a certain audience and the gameplay is simple and enjoyable. It would have been nice to have a few more features, but on the other hand sometimes a simple game can be enjoyed a lot more than a very complex one. 

If you tend to identify with the Burglar character, you should know that the police car is good in this game, it gives away free spins! So don’t run away when you see it!
