Bust the Bank Slot

Bust the Bank slot game is a 5-reel video slot from Microgaming featuring 243 pay-lines. It’s the latest in a long-line of bank heist games which includes Multislot’s Bank Robbery and Beat the Bank from WGS. However, there are a few minor differences that set it apart from the growing list of suspects. One of the most obvious is a noticeable lack of playing card symbols like many other similar slots with this kind of theme.

Bust the Bank Slot Background

There’s something about violent heists that seems to capture the public imagination. From the Brinks Mat robbery of 1983 to the more recent Knightsbridge raid, we just can’t get enough of audacious rule-breakers, irrespective of who they maim during their acts of thievery. Happily, Microgaming decided to tap into our peculiar obsession in 2013 by releasing Bust the Bank.

Slot Features

Despite its age, the Bust the Bank online casino slot remains easy on the eye. Its reels are decorated with colorful cartoon renderings of the types of characters one would find in a bank-heist scenario. These include a rather angry-looking policeman, a bank safe, a wide-eyed female police woman in a cop car as well as a security van and police dog.

To complete the line-up we also have a bank and robbers – helpful when if you want to depict bank robberies. The animations still hold their own, although the policeman looks as if he’s dancing to the village people. These are activated by the various bonus features in the game which are as follows:

Safe Bonus – A green safe symbol represents a minor bonus which needs to land on reels one or five. Its door then opens and coins pour out, duplicating the award on all symbols directly below.

Piggy Bank Bonus – Piggy bank symbols which land on reel three become clickable, allowing players to activate the Smashing Wild bonus prize. Bonus money is then rewarded.

Larry and Bob – The games villains, Larry and Bob, appear randomly across all the reels and reward players with various bonus amounts.
