Cash Bandits Slots
If this is your first time playing Cash Bandits, you're in for a treat. This is a highly popular slot from the legendary creators at RealTime Gaming, and this slot is so popular they developed a Cash Bandits 2 and a Cash Bandits 3. There are numerous reasons that Cash Bandit has attracted so many players, which we'll get into in detail within this review. This was my first time playing Cash Bandits 1, as I played the games out of order. I enjoyed both the sequel and the third game, so I had a feeling I'd love Cash Bandits, and I was right. This is an action-packed game, thanks to symbols like the vault wild symbol, and the scatter badge symbol. There is a lucrative and legendary special feature known as The Vault Feature associated with this game, and players can win a lot of free spins along with multipliers. This game also has a separate progressive jackpot attached that can be won randomly, virtually any time. With free spins, multipliers, a jackpot, and a top prize at 50,000x, this slot nearly makes a life of crime seem glamorous.
Basics
When you're ready to make your bet, the wager range is suitable for your blue-collar type of slot player. The minimum wager is 0.01 EUR and the maximum wager is 6.25 EUR. There are 25 adjustable pay lines, and it's played on a three-row, five-reel format. The toolbar also contains auto spin buttons, manual spin, max bet buttons, and an information tab which will pull up the pay table if you want to know the individual value of each symbol. Theme-wise, the game grid is set up inside a freshly ransacked bank. The velvet ropes have been knocked over, cash is flying everywhere and everything is in utter chaos. Cash bandits include tons of symbols that tell the story of what exactly is going on. This is a classic cop versus robbers tale. Picture-based symbols within this board include the bank, the police officer, a bandit, a car, a bag of cash, a siren, bundles of cash, a gun a megaphone, handcuffs, and donuts. Some of the most valuable paying symbols are the bank and the police officer symbol, which pays 1,500x and 1,250x your bet for a match of five symbols. The bandit will also reward a player with 800x your bet. The car and symbol parts out 500x at maximum, while the rest of the symbols pay somewhere from 100x to 250x your bet for five.
This game has two special symbols, which are the cops and robber scatter symbol and the vault wild symbol. The wild symbol will substitute all other symbols apart from the scatter and pays out anywhere on the game grid. The vault bonus helps activate special features.
Summary
The sheer number of special features is impressive, but I really think what keeps players coming back to all of the Cash Bandits game is the inventive Vault Feature. For one thing, it's unusual - having to guess numbers in order to unlock free spins isn't anything I've encountered in other games. The maximum wager for this game is also pretty low, which gives players a better chance at activating the progressive jackpot. The theme is fun, but I don't think the theme is the main draw - this game is popular because of it's stats. In general, this game is perfect for the working class slot player. I'd rate it a 10 on a scale of 1-10.
