Vault Assault is the simplest slot game I’ve ever played and at the same time this is the ugliest NetEnt product, in my opinion. This slot looks like if a front image of a traditional, land-based, one-armed bandit would have been cut off from an illustration and using it up with focusing only the reels and buttons NetEnt would have created an online version of it.
But why really I say ‘ugly’ is because wherever I play it, it has very vague, blurred view and almost can be said it’s pixelated. I absolutely don’t like it.
The classic slot has 1 pay line and uses symbols like dynamite, (police?) car, bars and safe but the most important, for my biggest surprise the game is a progressive Jackpot machine. It offers fix stake (€1) but the game can be played with 2 and 3 coins, too. Players may have a chance to win Jackpot (3 Safe symbols) only if the bet is 3 coins. 9 icon combinations make available to achieve wins but not every one of them require the symbols to be on the winning line and Dynamite is the only one that pays (x2) if it appears alone on any position of the line.Car and Safe possess the ability to pay if 3 identical of them appear anywhere on the reels. In the case of Safe figure can be ambivalent feelings of the players because obviously €3000 is a very nice prize and be very happy about but if they’re all land of the winning line, so that’s a whole different story.
To be honest, the only thing that saves Vault Assault to not be played by me is the chance for Jackpot. Usually, €3 per spin is a little high for my style but sometimes when I feel some good from the game I spin some rounds. So far I’ve never meet Safe figures not just as Jackpot but never seen 3 of them on the window and my biggest won were just three double bars, but in the most cases I could leave the game with minimal losses which are not that big prices for hoping a potential much bigger reward.
It’s really a very minimal game and there’s not much to do except pressing the spin button. I wish it were more attractive.
