Beat the Bank Slot Review 2024

Beat The Bank

Beat The Bank, an 888 slot that has 5 reels and 20 paylines, offers a top jackpot of $50,000, plus features like the free spins, the scatter symbol and the wild.

In Beat the Bank, the action takes place inside a bank, right next to the vault. The background image is the vault filled with cash, but the player is on the other side of the bars, looking in. The reels are simple enough, with a white background, and silver bars between them. On them, about half of the symbols are playing cards without a connection to the theme, and without a design to make them blend better. The rest of the symbols do have a connection with the theme, starting with the bank plans, the camera, the jewelry, the police man, the door to the vault and the bank robber. The playing card symbols start with the Nine, and go up to the Ace.

The game's maximum wager has 20 coins, one used for each payline, and it can be worth up to $200. With a bet of that size the maximum jackpot is 5,000 coins, or $50,000. The coin value can be much lower if needed though, as low as $0.05, but the prize would drop considerably as well. The symbol with the police man is the one that will give that big prize, but you need five identical symbols on an active payline.

Two major features are part of Beat the Bank, the scatter and the wild. The scatter symbol will pay the player a certain amount whenever he has at least two symbols of this type anywhere on the reels. As a scatter, the exact position of the symbols is not important, it only matters that there is a minimum number of them available. Two scatters will pay twice the bet that was made during that round. Three scatters will pay 5 times the bet, four scatters will pay 20 times and five scatters will pay 100 times the wager that was made.

The symbol with the thief has two different roles. It can be a wild symbol first, taking the place of any of the other symbols (except for the scatter), and helping to create new combinations. This symbol shows up on the middle three reels only. If all three reels get this symbol at the same time, the player gets free spins.

The features are there, and they make the game a decent choice, but the design is not that great, and there are too many playing card symbols taking up space on the reels.
