Deal or No Deal: The Banker’s Call Review

Deal or No Deal is one of the most prominent slot franchises by the renowned developer Blueprint, and it doesn’t seem to stop evolving, constantly being complemented with more and more titles. This time, the studio presents The Banker’s Call edition, which brings new experiences to fans of the series.

On the surface, Deal or No Deal: The Banker’s Call doesn’t differ a lot from other DOND games, making use of the same symbols and decor. Traditionally, loading the game takes you to the show’s studio, where in the center is sitting a standard 5x3 reel setup producing 10 ways to play on each spin. The game has a very simple look, but we should note the graphics are pretty sharp, so there’s actually nothing to complain about, except for the lack of originality, of course.

Playable on any device, the Deal or No Deal: The Banker’s Call slot comes with bet levels varying from £0.1 to £10 per spin, so there aren’t many options for high-roller punters. The volatility is in the medium-to-high range, and there are several different possible RTP settings, with 93.06% being the default one. The maximum win value isn’t overly impressive as well, since all you can hope for is only 2,000x the stake.

On the reels, we see 10 regular symbols that are split into highs and lows. The pay symbols start at the lower end with classic A-10 card ranks, worth 10x your bet for five-of-a-kind, and the higher lot includes in ascending order seals, cups, notebooks, envelopes, and the banker himself, paying from 20x to 200x the bet for combinations of five.

Deal or No Deal: The Banker’s Call Features

Wild symbols are also available, represented by a box with the DOND logo on it. It is available only on reel 3. Whenever it lands, it triggered the What’s In Your Box feature. The box will reveal one or two symbols, and if such symbols are present on the reels, all of their instances will transform into Wild symbols.

Look out for Scatter symbols. Landing 3 simultaneously on reels 1, 3, and 5 triggers The Banker’s Call bonus game. Additionally, Super and Mega Scatter symbols can randomly appear on the 5th reel, and triggering combinations with these symbols activate an upgraded bonus.

In the bonus game, players are given a selection of 22 boxes, which contain a cash prize ranging from 1x to 500x the bet or an Extra Deal symbol. You need to select a box to reveal your reward, and then press the Deal or No Deal button to take or refuse it. You get 3 deals initially, and revealing an Extra Deal adds +1 to the tally. For the Super and Mega Banker’s Call features, that number is 4 and 5 respectively.

Watch out for the Banker’s Call. If the phone rings, a Mystery Box with a random cash payout will be automatically awarded, and all unused deals will be lost. The call feature activates after the 3, 4, or 5 picks depending on the bonus version, so the first bunch of boxes is safe to open.

Review Summary

We’ve seen a number of DOND games by Blueprint, good and bad, and Deal or No Deal: The Banker’s Call probably leans to the latter category. There isn’t a lot for players to offer - it has no free spins, and the maximum winning potential is quite poor. Yet, for fans of the TV show, there’s still entertainment to be found.
