Vault Cracker Bonus Features

Although the main feature here is undoubtedly Hold and Re-Spin, Vault Cracker manages to squeeze in a few other video slot mechanics that keep players busy as they grind the reels on their way to the top prize.

Wilds

Vault Cracker shaves off a few staple video slot features in favour of a more minimal set of functions. In doing so, it cuts out Wild symbols and the second lease of life that they bring.

Scatter Symbol

Without the inclusion of a general free spins mode, Vault Cracker doesn’t feature the usual Scatter symbols we expect to find in video slots. Instead, it uses its protagonists as a substitute, with their highly anticipated appearances leading to the game’s bonus features. The Hold Up Artist symbol triggers the Cash Collect mechanic, while the Heist Master activates the Hold and Re-Spin feature.

Hold and Re-spin

The main aim of Vault Cracker is to get away with the game’s top prize, the Locked Diamond symbol. To do so, players must first land the Heist Master symbol on the 3rd reel. The Heist Master will activate Hold and Re-Spin and remain stuck to the reels for its duration. In this bonus game, all of the various safe symbols that appear on the reels at the time of activation will be held onto their respective positions, while the remaining reels re-spin in an attempt to land more safe symbols. To get to the locked Diamond, offering the top value of a x1,410 multiplier, players must cover all of the reels in safe symbols. Should a re-spin yield no additional new safes, players will instead head over to the Second Chance Wheel.

In this bonus round, the wheel will spin, landing on either a green section which returns you to the Hold and Re-Spin feature or the red segment which will end the bonus game. A first attempt at the wheel will offer a 75% green area against a measly 25% red area, but subsequent attempts on the wheel will increment the red section with an additional 25%. Should players fail to win the prized diamond, they will still collect the values of the safes they collected and return to the main game.

Cash Collect

Of course, it’s worth mentioning that even outside of the bonus game, players will still be landing safe symbols. Unfortunately, these cannot form part of any winning combo and provide no value on their own. Luckily, this is where the Hold Up Artist symbol comes into play. Landing on the 5th reel, the Hold Up Artist will simply open up all safe symbols in view and collect their values.

Vault Cracker Jackpot

Vault Cracker keeps jackpots out of its humble list of features, obtaining the Diamond symbol can be seen as winning a jackpot of sorts.

RTP & Volatility

This heist carries a high level of volatility, paired with a return to player rate of 95.66%. It’s quite a mismatch in terms of math model, with the combination of low RTP and low max win amount limiting the game’s overall potential.

Where to Play Vault Cracker

Enjoy Vault Cracker at a host of Red Tiger licensed casinos such as Betfair, which offers some of the provider’s best offerings.

Vault Cracker on Mobile

With full compatibility across both desktop and mobile devices, players can enjoy the thrill of the heist whenever and wherever they are.
