Reel Banks Slot Review
I’m no fan of the banking system and I guess crypto has a lot to do with that. It’s opened my eyes to many things but don’t worry; I’m not going on some tirade here about the system.
But the topic of Reel Banks slot by Pragmatic Play did make me think about how we could do banking better. And I think the answer to that problem was solved in The Wolf of Wall Street.
If you’ll recall – and let’s be honest, who could forget – in the one scene Brad tapes $300,000 to his smokin’ hot wife’s body.
Now, I’m not suggesting people should smuggle money into Swiss banks; I’m just saying that if bank transfers looked like this, I’d be willing to cut financial institutions some slack.
But considering that’s never gonna happen except in my sick fantasies, let’s see what the latest from Pragmatic has to offer.
Gameplay
Unsurprisingly, given the title of this slot, the setting for this game is inside a bank vault. As you’d expect from Pragmatic Play, the design is intricate and stunning – their games are virtual works of art, and this one’s no different.
The grid is a 5x4-reel setup, with 25 paylines, and the mobile experience is good. In portrait mode, there’s lots of background with the grid taking up a third of the screen real estate. I’d have preferred the reels to be larger, but you can still see what’s going on.
The controls are well-positioned and large and in landscape mode; what you see is what you’d get when playing on a laptop. So, the upshot is that you’ve got the choice to play however you prefer.
When it comes to symbols, the high-paying ones are a banker (who looks like a smug Robert de Niro in his prime), gold bars, stacks of greenbacks, and a purse with gold coins. The Wild symbol substitutes for all others except the Money and Collect symbols.
Reel Banks slot is incredible to look at and packs a punch – check it out: 96.04% RTPRTP stands for “Return to Player.” The RTP describes the total bet amount that a game returns to players over millions of spins, and that figure is represented by a percentage. Table games, such as Roulette, typically have higher RTPs than many slots.
RTP needs to be considered in conjunction with a game’s volatility rate., a high volatility rate, and a max win of €375,000! No cause for complaint with these figures!
There are some currency restrictions which mean you won’t be able to play in Japanese yen, Bitcoin Cash, or Tether but any other form is good to go.
Features
MONEY COLLECT FEATURE:
There are two parts to this feature – the first is that you’ll need to land Money symbols on reels 1 to 4. These symbols take on a random value, which could be 1x to 6x, 8x, 10x, 12x, 15x, 20x, 25x, 50x, 100x, 250x, or 500x your total bet.
The second part centers around the Collect symbol. If Money symbols hit the reels and a Collect symbol lands on reel 5, the value of all visible Money symbols will be awarded.
FREE SPINS:
Land at least 1 Money symbol on each reel, and you’ll be into the Free Spins round. You’ll start with 9 spins and above each reel, you’ll see a box with a suitcase above that.
This is the Reel Bank element and whenever a Money symbol lands on the reel beneath it, the value is added to the Reel Bank. If a Reel Collect symbol drops, you’ll be awarded the value of the Reel Bank above it.
There are other symbols that will appear during Free Spins, so let me break these down for ya:
All Collect: The total value of all Reel Banks is awarded
All (Add Money to All Banks): These symbols come with a random multiplier value (the same as I listed in the Money Collect feature), which is added to all Reel Banks
X Reel (Multiply Reel): These also come with random multiplier values; this time, the values are 2x to 5x. The value is applied to the Reel Bank above the respective reel
X All (Multiply All Reels): The same random multipliers apply as we had in X Reels but this time, the value is applied to all Reel Banks
+3 Spins: This one will give you an additional 3 spins
BUY FEATURE:
You can buy your way into the Free Spins round for a cost of 80x your bet.
Performance
I didn’t experience any problems during testing. The only thing I want to point out is that the game times out fairly quickly if you’re jumping between browser tabs.
Maximum Win
We’ve got a mixed bag, here. The max win is superb (€375,000) but the max multiplier (5,000x) is on the low side.
The knock-on effect is that you’ll need to keep betting at €75 for a shot at that top prize, but it does mean that there’s a wide betting spread as the bottom of the scale is €0.25.
Conclusion
I really enjoyed Reel Banks slot which I think is due to a combination of the incredible graphics and the ease of use. It’s a game you can wrap your head around quickly, and it translates well across all devices, making it totally portable.
I found that I was using the Buy feature a lot, as that’s where the action and the money were, and it worked out well for me (your experience might be different).
Pragmatic has come up with a great game for this genre, so if you like the whole money collect thing, you could do a lot worse than spending some time on Reel Banks slot.
