Players will be diving into the criminal world as they prepare to break into some safes held in the bank vaults which hold some attractive awards and cash rich prizes.
True pioneers in the online gaming world RTG produce 3 and 5 reel slot games that bring broad gaming appeal through the diverse genres they employ.

Some of the games in their large range include Bubble Bubble, Ghost Ship, Ocean Oddities, Three Stooges and Wild Wizards.
At Big Heist slot players are presented with a colourful and shiny chrome slot machine in the vintage and retro style of a one armed bandit except in this case its two armed with two mechanical steel levers seen at each side. These ‘pokie’ machines featuring a glass front panel were once all the rage on casino floors around the country making their way also into many road side bars and cafes up and down the country. In fact the first one armed bandits were of the 3 reel variety and these games are still a popular fixture on casino floors worldwide.
3 reel slot games can be considered classical entertainment for players and are popular particularly in beginner and novice online gaming circles as they do not require a whole lot of concentration to play being super simple to understand and which can provide a smooth and easy first entry into the world of online slots.
On the flip side, 3 reel slot games provide great traditional charm for those old school slot lovers as these slots are usually free of highly detailed features or high tech animations so in many ways they provide a more zen and pared down but fast paced playing experience for those trad slot lovers who also happen to have bigger pockets.
Here, at The Bank Heist slot game RTG have taken it back to basics with providing players with 3 reels and just one payline. The mechanics are refreshingly straightforward offering players the chance to enter their coins into the slot and see which three identical symbols match up for cash prizes and listen for the famous ‘cha ching’ sound to announce the wins.
Players can start gameplay and will need to make their first wager where they have a maximum of 1 to 3 coins per payline and the coin sizes start from 0.5$ with in between 0.25$, 0.50$, 1.00$ and 5.00$. The default number of coins per line is 3 coins per spin. The minimum bet 1 coin x 0.05 which equates to 0.05$ per spin. The maximum bet is 3 coins x 5.00 which equates to 15.00$. The maximum win potential for players is 2,000 Coins per 5.00 which equates to 10,000$.
There is no wild, no scatter, no free spins just one very effective Safe Bonus Feature. Players can expect to see five different symbols which all mesh with the crime and robbery theme nicely so there are safe dials, police badges, doughnuts, cups of coffee, sunglasses and guns which provide their own unique payouts.
The illustrations are kept on the minimalist side and applied with colourful blue, yellow and red coloured vintage style graphics that brightly shine.
The bonus feature at The Big Heist can be triggered and activated in one of two ways. The first is for players to place three Safe Dials on the payline which automatically provides them with an opportunity to crack the safe and win ten times the amount on the meter. Both the safe dial and the meter are shown to the right hand side of the slot machine (credits are added to the meter for each dial that players hit on the payline).
The other way to trigger the bonus is for players to collect 50 safe dials and each time they get a safe symbol on the payline it advances the dial one click. (There are 50 clicks on the safe dial). When all 50 clicks are stored in the counter then players get to win the secret Safe Bonus which is fifty coins shown on the meter as the bonus.
The symbol for players to look out for is the Police Badge as this triggers the highest jackpot in the game which is 2,000 coins when players are able to land three of them in consecutive order on the payline at a bet of 2 coins. The second highest payout is 500 coins which comes from landing 3 doughnuts on the reels at a bet of 3 coins.
The RTP (Return to Player Percentage) is 95% and this game is low to medium volatility. This kind of volatility means that players can expect a mixture of small sized wins with the chance of more lucrative prizes.
The Big Heist slot game is fully mobile optimized. It can be enjoyed instantly on the go from either a desktop, compatible smartphones or tablet devices thanks to HTML5 technology. This cross compatibility provides seamless gaming for players from wherever and whenever from iOS Apple, Android or Samsung.
