Empty The Bank

Empty the Bank Review

Played initially on a 5×4 reel set up, Empty the Bank is a heist-themed online slot from the restless team at Pragmatic Play. Supposedly set in London’s booming Isle of Dogs area, it features a Cockney speaking burglar who’s got his eye set on one of the major banks in the city. During the respin bonus round, the developer uses special reel modifying symbols that could expand the regular reels into a 7×6 grid unlocking more potential wins. But will this job be worth the risks involved? Carry on reading our slot review to find out.

Empty the Bank Bonus Features

As far as bonus slot features go, Pragmatic Play decided to concentrate all of the robbery activity in the Empty the Bank respin action, the only bonus round within the slot. Nonetheless, the bonus game is packed with modifying special symbols, each of which could boost your wins and unlock extra positions on the expandable grid. Plus, anytime these symbols land, they’ll reset the round delivering a streak of respins to keep you spinning.

Wilds

The slot’s lead safe-cracker appears anywhere on the reels and substitutes for all symbols except scatters to help you form more winning combinations.

Scatters

An image of a double safe, appearing on reels 1, 3 and 5 during the base game only, acts as the game’s scatter. It doesn’t have a value of its own but triggers the game’s Empty the Bank respin feature.

Empty the Bank Respin Feature

You’ll start the respin bonus feature with 3 sticky money symbols containing random values of 1x – 10x and 3 respins on a regular 4×5 grid. The 3 respins reset each time you land a special symbol. Throughout the round, you’ll have the possibility to unlock extra reels and rows, up to 7×6 depending on which special symbols will hit the reels:

• Walkie Talkie: has a random value of 1x or 2x and adds that value to all visible money symbols for current and all subsequent spins.
• Computer: doubles all money symbols and awards a 1x multiplier.
• Burglar: collects all money and other burglar symbols on the grid, making space for new symbols to hit the reels.
• Alarm: awards a multiplier of 1x your stake and boosts the possible number of 3 respins to 4.
• Drill: awards a 1x your bet multiplier and opens up locked spaces on reel 1.
• Hammer: awards a 1x your bet multiplier and opens up locked spaces on reel 7.
• Ladder: on the first respin, it opens locked spaces on reel 6, on the second respin it unlocks spaces on reel 7, plus awards a 1x bet multiplier.
• Safe Door: awards 1x your stake or the game’s max potential if you hit 3 of the symbols on a single spin.

Empty the Bank Jackpot

Empty the Bank doesn’t have jackpot feature, but it does have an appealing max potential, one of the highest so far in the developer’s slot collection. Join the mouthy robber, and between you, you could split 10,000x your stake if 3 of the safe door special symbols hit the reels during the respin round.

RTP and Volatility

Where there is heist, there are high risks involved. Empty the Bank is a highly volatile slot with a default RTP set to an above industry average of 96.48%.
