Bust The Bank Slot Review

Bust The Bank Review
3 Game Overview

Bust The Bank throws me straight into a cheeky bank heist with Bob and Larry leading the way. It is a five reel, three row slot with 243 ways to win, cartoon style graphics and plenty of lively animations. The whole thing feels like classic Microgaming, with barking dogs, flashing alarms and armoured vans popping up on the reels as I spin through this cat and mouse chase.

Under the hood, Bust The Bank runs with medium variance and an RTP of about 96.75 percent, which suits my style for longer sessions. Stakes start low enough for casual play, yet can climb to hefty sums per spin on some versions. Between the main free spins round, the Safe Bonus and the Piggy Bank feature, there is always something ticking away in the background.

What symbols are there in Bust The Bank?

The symbols in Bust The Bank stick closely to the heist theme and they spring into life whenever a win lands. The bomb scatter sits at the top of the paytable, paying 50 times the stake for five of a kind. Next come the two robbers in green and brown caps, worth 50 times and 33.3 times respectively for five, followed by the angry cop and the cop in his patrol car.

Lower down in Bust The Bank you get the bank building, security van, alarm clock and the scruffy dog, paying from 5 times down to 1.66 times the stake for five on a payline. The Bust The Bank logo acts as the wild, helping complete winning ways, while the bomb scatter still pays in any position. With everything animated, even small wins keep the screen busy and the pace brisk.

Bonus features in Bust The Bank

For me, the standout part of Bust The Bank is the Safe Bonus feature, which can fire on any spin when a safe symbol lands on reel one or reel five. When that safe cracks open, coins pour down the reel, turning positions they touch into wins. If more safes sit below, they join in as well, and that is how you can rack up to six separate prizes from a single paid spin.

Bust The Bank also throws in the Piggy Bank bonus, which wakes up when the piggy symbol lands on the middle reel. I tap the piggy to smash it and gain what the game calls a Smashing Wild Coin Win, effectively a tidy instant prize. These little pick style moments break up the base game nicely and give me something to hope for even when the scatters are staying away.

On top of that, Bob and Larry occasionally dash across the reels in Bust The Bank as full animations rather than standard symbols. When they show up, they fling extra coins around and hand out random cash wins, which feels spot on for a slapstick heist theme. It keeps the base game from going flat, especially during stretches without free spins or safe hits.

Free spins in Bust The Bank

The free spins in Bust The Bank trigger when three or more bomb scatters land on the reels, giving me eight free games and a tidy scatter payout up to 50 times my stake for five. During those spins, reels one and five turn into fully stacked wild reels, which can throw out some cracking combinations. Any extra scatter that lands adds another spin, and there is no fixed cap on how many you can collect.

RTP, volatility and max win in Bust The Bank

When I look at the numbers, Bust The Bank sits in a sweet spot for regular play. The game uses 243 ways to win and runs on medium volatility, so I see a steady mix of small hits with the odd bigger burst. The stated RTP of around 96.75 percent feels fair, and with a maximum win of about 450 times the stake, it can still throw in sessions that finish well ahead.

Review Summary of Bust The Bank

After plenty of spins, Bust The Bank still feels like one of those older Microgaming slots that has aged very well. The cartoon look, barking dogs and clumsy cops give it loads of charm, and the mix of features means the base game rarely drags. I like how the Safe Bonus, Piggy Bank and random robber visits can land on any spin, even without lining up scatters.

That said, Bust The Bank will not suit everyone. There is no progressive jackpot, and a top payout of roughly 450 times the stake might feel modest if you chase huge multipliers. For me, though, it hits that classic medium variance sweet spot. When the stacked wild reels behave in free spins and the safes rain coins, it still gives me that satisfying bank busting session I am after.
