Bust the Bank Slot

A slot from Microgaming based on a couple of bank robbers, and I think they are meant to be the characters from that Home Alone movie, the wet bandits, Marv and Harry, you have the skinny tall one and the fat short one but in this game, they are called Larry and Bob. Plenty of symbols associated with robbing banks are in this slot, and an English bulldog as well. You have the bank, the bomb, and the money truck as well as a large cop and a lady cop in a car.
A little more about this slot is that it is a 5 reeler with 243 ways to win. Thus symbols only have to appear in any position from left to right, much simpler to win than your standard pay lines where you need symbols to line up. I prefer the 243 ways myself. It can also be appreciated that the slot comes with a fairly high RTP of 96.75% well above the 96% that is found on most slots these days.
Min bet is 0.30 and that is not so high for most people I would say. My first time playing this was a very pleasant experience I must say, scored a good feature paying over 300xBet when the tall skinny bandit appeared on those 3 middle reels. While the fat bandit pays higher I was more than happy to land this feature with the skinny bandit. I was never able to repeat that level of satisfaction with this slot after that, however. During the free spins reels, 1 and 5 are wilds so you only need to get 3 matching symbols on the middle reel for the big payouts or just two symbols on reels 2 and 3 for at least a 3 of a kind.
Another good touch the slot has is the piggy bonus which can sometimes pay out very good wins. The way to get this piggy bank bonus is when it lands on the 3rd reel then you get to smash it and hope it pays big.

Min bet is 0.30 so perhaps that can be a problem for some players that like to play on lower stakes such as 0.25 or 0.20 in this case you will have to play on a minimum of 0.30. Sometimes the game can take its time to trigger those free spin features as you need to land at least 3 scatters but it can be said many games suffer from this don’t they.

With Bust the Bank slot released by Microgaming in 2013, you'll get to experience the thrill of robbing a bank basically which for sure gives you excitement. The game was a huge success when it came out that a lot of other providers tried to replicate it, so you may see a lot of similar games like this one. The game has 5 reels and 243paylines with the minimal bet being 0.30$ up to 300$ per spin.

Microgaming is well known for providing games with amazing design and the Bust the Bank is no exception too. The symbols in the game match the theme and are very unique. You will be able to have a look at robbers, cops, lady officer in a car, bank, security white van, sticks of dynamite, and a bulldog. The base game winnings can be decent, as the Bomb(scatter) pays 50x for 5 of a kind, same as Green cap robber making them two best paying symbols.

The Bust the Bank has some interesting features. There is the Safe bonus feature that lands only on reels 1 and 5, afterward, it will crack and pour winnings, the symbols below safe bonus will be turned into winnings too, usually 5-10x your stake. The maximum of 6 wins is possible, so its something just to keep your balance steady. You should watch out for the Piggy Bank symbol landing on the middle reel, as this will activate the feature. As it lands you will have to click on Piggy Bank to crack it open and it gives you Smashing Wild Coin Win.

Getting the free spins can be quite hard to get, 3 or more Skull bombs(scatter) symbols are needed to trigger the free spins, and then you’ll be rewarded with 8 free spins. As soon the free spins start, you will notice that reels 1 and 5 are turned into fully stacked wild reels, and every Skull bomb you get on the reel will give you 1 extra free spin. There is a potential of course but the maximum you can win during free spins is only 450x your stake, and that's possible only if you get best-paying symbols on all reels, which is unlikely to happen. Playing this game for almost 2 hours my biggest winnings were 50-60x during free spins, as it's very hard to connect winnings with many dead spins occurring.

This could be easily one of the best slots that Microgaming released because of the cartoon-style graphics that are really entertaining, making the game fun to play. But when you have a closer look at paytable the excitement just goes away, making this game be a medium variance slot that just keeps you frustrated over and over again.

Okaay, how about another go on a cartoon game from you-know-who? Well, don't know about you, but I'm game for another cartoon game, and this time it's all about cops, robbers and howling bulldogs. Nothing new or novel of course, because just about every game provider has a similar themed game in their list. From MG, it's called Bust the Bank. From me, it's called "if you can".

Just look at those cartoon figures - a fearsome looking cop, a ferocious howling police bulldog, a fat robber and a thin robber. Why robbers always seem to come in this fat-thin combination, I really just don't know. And just look at that beautiful lady cop driving her patrol car at high speed with her head out like that. Ooh boy! Must be a really really cool and skilled driver that lady. I myself cannot drive my car at high speed with my head out like that, can you? And did you also catch a glimpse of that ferocious bulldog whenever that svelty poodle trots past him? Ooh boy, see the love in the bulldog's eyes! Hehehe. Cute. Real cute. But cute and crazy characters don't make a good game, nah, not even with hot poodles. Only a hot paytable can.

And talking about looking under the table, you would expect to see a pair of smooth shapely fair-skinned legs, right? Yeah, but not under a paytable. All you can see are icons, numbers and wordings, like that 'Bust the Bank' logo, which is the Wild symbol, and which doesn't pay for itself nor do anything much at all. The Skull is the Scatter symbol, 5 of which pays a very low 50x the total bet, getting 3, 4 or 5 of them award 8 free spins without any multiplier, with no possible retriggers too. Sheesh! All the other symbols have very low values too, from 50x down to 1.6x the total bet. Talk about a very low paytable, this one is almost touching the floor!

In the base game, a Safe may appear on reel 1 or 5, whereby this safe would then open up and pours out coins, turning the symbol directly below it into a coins-pouring safe too. But get your hopes too high though. There usually isn't much coins in those safes at all. Also in the base game, a Piggy bank may randomly appear on reel 3 for you to smash and get the coins in it. This little Smash Piggy is better than the safe, awarding me up to 50x my total bet so far.

Trying to get the Free Spins game can be very hard indeed. In this game, both reel 1 and 5 become Expanded Wild reels for the entire 8 free spins. Each Skull appearing during the free spins awards 1 more free spin, and that's about it. For me, the few Free Spins games that I had gotten weren't that fruitful at all, except for one game. Payouts were mostly around the 20x to 40x the total bet amount. Yeah, not a lot. Never a lot.

With a paytable that's as low as almost touching the floor, Bust the Bank failed to impress me, even though playing it was quite fun. But it isn't fun that gamblers are looking for, is it?

I generally love games that have several different features to offer. Bust the Bank is one of those games. I played this game only once when I came across it in the 32 Red Casino. It is a game that offers entertainment and at the same times small wins that come on regular basis. At that point, it was all that I needed. Also the highest five of a kind win that I got during the base game was 30 x bet.

The safe bonus can be awarded on the first and the fifth reel only. The safe door opens up and the coins come out of it. I triggered this minor bonus couple of times and I have not won anything more than 18 euros. Actually, every time I was getting the same amount, I do not know if it has something to do with the bet or that was just a coincidence.

The piggy bank on the third reel awards the Piggy Bank Bonus. I triggered this feature only once and I did not win much. I think the win was around 7 euros, but I honestly do not remember precisely. If it was a huge win I would remember that for sure.
Reels 1 and 5 are wilds in the free spins round. This is the main feature. If you land 3 or more scatters you get only 8 free spins. It took me more than 500 spins to trigger the free spins though. I got 66.33 euros. I could not trigger the free game again, even though I have played this slot for a very long. The thing with this game is that you lose track of time. You have fun while you are playing, you always win something. I have to say that this is the most relaxing game I have played in a very long time.

Bust the Bank is one of the game from Microgaming I like it the most. The game has 243 pay ways and minimum bet of 0.3€.

The game has 2 different bonus features, safe and piggy bank bonus. On both bonuses you will be awarded with some coins prizes. I don't like so much this bonuses, because when I played it i received small money on them. I think these bonuses are added only that main game is not so boring.

The free spins are much more better here at Bust the bank game. When at least 3 scatters appears you will get 8 free spins. Any additional scatter symbols during free games gives you 1 more free spin. The best thing is that reel 1 and reel 5 are wild. The game reminds me on Golden era game, where you can also have this kind of wild reels. But here you can win much more money, because at this game you have more pay lines. When I played it, I really had nice time watching wild reels and waiting for some great wins.

The graphics and sounds are good but sometimes when I played it, I didn't like payouts during main game. Some of wins was really low, or empty. It was kind of boring waiting so long for free spins feature. Otherwise it is a great game that could provide big wins. I like to play this kind of games and I believe all player like this kind of slots where reels are wild. Sure iIwill continue to play this game.

I don't like it when i try to trigger free games and the scatters are not on the reels for a long time. I think the feature is hard to trigger and sometimes the only thing i receive is bad bonus games.

Bust the Bank it is slot made by Microgaming. It is one of the most favorite games for me when I am just angry after losing much money on Microgaming most popular games. When this happens - I go to bust the bank.

I like look of the game. Overall here everything is very good. Lot of colors, funny animation, funny sounds, and great theme.

I like feature with safes which award prizes. When safe land on reel 1 or reel 5 or in both reels it opens and give you some prizes. If it appears on top place it will give you 3 rewards. Rewards usually not very huge, but once it paid me around 50 bets got two safes on top positions. Also I like thieves feature when they award some cash, but payouts there not big.

I like piggy smash feature. When piggy appear on reel 3 you can smash it. Of course it is mean that you click on symbol and it is smashes and award good prize. I think prize could be awesome in this feature, once got it playing 0.30 stake and got 30$ win which are exactly 100 bets, not poor return.

I like freespins feature. It is triggered when 3 or more scatters appear on reels anywhere and awards 8 free games. During freespins reels 1 and 5 are expanded wilds. If any scatter appears it will add one more freespin. Had few 200 bets features and probably few 100 bets. Never higher because never got best paying symbols 5 of a kind.

I rate this game with 9 stars because it is great one.

I took only one star from rating of this game. I did not like payouts in normal play. Too low, best 5 of a kind awards about 50 bets which is very low. But luckily features with prizes compensate it so it is no so big minus. This is only thing I change in this game if I could.

Bust the bank it is Microgaming slot. This company made many great 243 lines game, and Bust the bank is luckily not the exception from their games list.

Well, this games looks awesome. By the way recently I discovered on my tablet a game - daddy was a thief, just downloaded it and you will see that main character is too similar to character in this slot game (fat thief). Funny. Games looks great, sounds are awesome, and I like it.

Probably some players will be surprised to see 243 lines game without stacked wilds on reels, and I was surprised too when played this slot for first time. So I really did not recommend to wait huge wins at base game, it is nearly impossible, if only couple of spins giving good wins. Free spins feature can be triggered by 3 or more bombs, which are scatters here. 8 FS, no any multiplier, but reels 1 and 5 are expanded wilds for all 8 spins. Any additional scatter will give you + 1 spin. And there is possible to get good wins, 5 of a kind of thieves (any of them) will pay decent money.

Also I would like to say about feature which surprised me in this slot. I was spinning 0.30 per spin, and land a pig on reel 3. Pig was destroyed, and i got 30$ (!?). Really amazing, and I was surprised that this feature can pay such money, so always looking to get this pig and get probably even better payout.

Overall experience from this game is great, base games is hard to get big wins, but like I described pig can come and give some nice money, so you will achieve free spins without losing much money, or even win something, and then if free spins will be lucky for you you will get really awesome win!

Nothing bad to say about this game, I like it, and everything is very good.

Bust the Bank is a slot that is powered by Microgaming and it has 5 reels and 243 paylines. This is a slot that I have recently stumbled upon in one of the Microgaming powered casinos and I like it really much. It is packed with a lot of surprises and bonuses.

The first bonus that it offers is the safe bonus, so basically when a safe lands on your reels (it can appear on any reel) the safe will open and award a random coin value but that is not it also the safe when it opens it will pour coins below it and the coin prize will be duplicated for every symbol below the safe, neat ha? There is also a Piggy bank bonus, this bonus can only appear on reel three and when it appears you have to click on in order to break it and win a coin prize. But those are not all the bonuses, you also must watch out for Bob and Larry that will randomly appear and give you a bonus prize as well. Also the game has Bust the bank as its wild that of course substitutes for everything except scatter symbols and the bonus symbols mentioned above and finally we have the scatter symbol.

This scatter symbol is in a bomb shape and when triggered it awards you with 8 free spins and some goodies with free spins as well. Also within the free spins reels 1 and 5 are wild and you get and additional free spin for every scatter that appears within the FS mode.

Overall this is a great game that is packed with surprises and a lot of bonuses, I personally had a great time playing it and I would gladly recommend that you try it as well. 7/10

Bust the Bank is a very suitable name for this slot game and straight away I was sucked into the cold steel vault where the non stop action soon heated things up and it never seemed to slow down from there for me. Bust the Bank is a 243 way slot game and I think I must have had winnings in almost every way!

The first major win of note for me was landing when a very welcome little piggy appeared on the third reel and with it came an instant bonus of 100 coins. The whole time that I played the game I did not stray from low bets because I was having so many returns and with the good old bonuses peeping out now and then I would have been mad to move. I have played a lot of different Microgaming slots and I am normally happy out but this game goes beyond that for me, I was gripped the whole way through and I will definitely be recommending it. Even with the returns that I was getting I had trouble working my way through them thanks to the free spins I picked up along the way.

This game for me is going to be lodged firmly in my top ten thanks to the luck I had on it and while I do like bonus games I have found them to be more of a distraction from the main slot game these days and so the lack of one here almost stands to the game itself, I know I did not want anything pulling me away from the reels.
All things weighed up (and knowing it could have just been my luck with me this day for a change) I am going to give Bust the Bank a rating of 8/10

Bust the bank is a Microgaming slot with 243 ways to win and 5 reels. As the name suggests, theme of the slot revolves around intruders in a bank who tries to loot it for cash and the police tries to catch hold of them. The symbols offer cartoon feel and radiant graphics with quite a lot of features to cheer about.

The base game itself consist of various bonus features, some of them paying colossal amounts depending on the luck. I have played this slot in past but suddenly i saw this slot on betrally casino and couldn't stop myself from playing on it. I had almost $35 in my account which made some 1700 coins on a coil value of $0.02. I started spinning on a bet of 30 coins per spin and lost about 600 coins in a matter of 10 minutes. Then i got the bonus symbol on 5th reel on topmost square which gave me 90 coins. I remember having such wins from my past games on this slot but this was first time i got it on the top most square and each square below it paid me amount equal to my bet of 30 making a total of 90 coins. Again a bad run i ended up with just 400 coins in my balance... Then luckily i got a piggy bank symbol on the middle reel which cracked and gave me a massive 1500 coins whose screenshot i have uploaded too.. Now i had 1900 coins with me and increased the bet to 60 coins per spin and ended up loosing all my money soon.. Though i had struck another piggy bank bonus round which gave me 600 coins and couple of bonus symbols on reel 5 and 1 too giving me 30 to 60 coins. Though, I have lost all my money but this slot has paid me some very good returns in past and i remember winning $111 from the free spin round on the same slot getting 5 of kinds of dog 2 times as far as i remember..But according to me this slot has even greater potential but you must be lucky enough to hit the free spin round because believe me it occurs rarely..

Still i would say this slot is a must play for every slot lover because it has true essence of gambling that is sometimes you loose sometimes you win nothing is for sure.. An overall rating of 7 on 10 to this slot..
