Cash Bandits Slots
If you've never played Cash Bandits before, you're in for a treat. This original game was so popular there have been multiple Cash Bandits games emerging onto the market with a bang since then. This game is a beloved RealTime Gaming slot, and it was released in 2015. It's played on five reels, with three rows and a total of 25 different pay lines. You can play for as little as $0.25 per spin! The real reason this game took off and become so popular is thanks to the vault feature, because through the vault feature players can trigger up to 90 total free spins. They'll also attach a win multiplier that can be worth as much as 12x your bet. Lastly, there is also a progressive jackpot that can be triggered after any spin. This game is played on 25 adjustable pay lines, meaning you can decide how many active pay lines you want to spin on. To win payouts, you need to land three or more matching symbols on said active pay lines, starting from the left side of the reel. The wild symbol and top paying premium symbols pay for two of a kind, though. When you're ready to make a bet, you can bet from a range of $0.25 to $6.25 per spin. In many ways, this is a slot for the low rollers of the slot world. It's all about affordability and accessibility.
Basics
This game takes place at a bank with piles of money just laying around. The slot has a humorous, cartoonish quality that would fit right into a vintage cartoon universe like Bugs Bunny or Tom and Jerry. I found the images of this game to be quite charming. The bank is in utter disarray from the robbers who have just arrived, and whether or not they make it out with the loot without getting caught by the cops is a game of chance.
This game has a robber and a cop, along with a plethora of other related symbols to set the scene. Other symbols include piles of cash, fast cars, handcuffs, a megaphone, police lights, guns, doughnuts, bags of money and more. The cops and robbers scatter symbol will activate the Vault Feature I mentioned earlier. This game is a high variance slot, and there is a progressive jackpot attached to it. If you manage to get lucky and land this jackpot, you can win a maximum win of 50,000x your bet per line.
Special Features
The Vault Feature remains the cream of the crop within this slot. To trigger this alluring bonus feature, you need to land three or more scatter symbols at the same time. You'll receive four different vaults on the screen, and one keypad. Your job is to find the digit codes on all four vaults, and the codes come with 1, 2, 3 or 4 digits. You'll need to pick 5 to 8 numbers from a keypad and see whether any of the digits open any of the vaults. I think one of the major reasons the game is so popular is because of the unusual approach to bonus rounds it takes through the vault feature.
If you don't unlock any of the vaults, you'll still be awarded five free spins and a multiplier. Your free spin round wins will come with a 2x multiplier and if some of the codes are cracked, you'll win additional free spins. You might win 5 or 10 free spins, but you also could win 20 or even 50 free spins. The win multiplier also increases each time you crack the code on the locked vaults. You can also retrigger the feature and win 5 extra free spins each time. This game also has a progressive jackpot, and its triggered on any random spin.
