🐯 Iron Bank Slot (Relax Gaming). Review and demo

Iron Bank slot review

Teaming up with casinos-streaming slot enthusiasts during the creative process is not a bad idea at all, and we hope to see more of this in the future from other developers also. The result is a game that’s pretty much tailor-made for volatile and exciting streaming action. Buying the bonus round (not for UK players) is not all that expensive here, but you also have a strong 2,000x incentive to trigger it organically with some extra scatters involved.

Inspired by the community lingo, bigger wins are called “printing” here, which is a nice touch. The game is all about a bank heist set in Cuba, and each bonus round option represents a different plan and execution. The visuals are cartoonish, and perhaps somewhat inspired by Pink Panther, and it comes with a decent 96.2 % RTP that increases to 97 % during free spins. There is nothing too innovative about this title, but it’s a nicely put together heavy hitter with plenty of exciting features.

Iron Bank Features

The base game comes with 3 different bonus features. You can get random mystery symbols added to the reels at random times, and these will transform to reveal the same matching symbols. You can also land fully stacked multiplier wilds that cover reels 2 to 5, and the multiplier value will range from 2x to 10x.

Landing more than one multiplier wild means that the respective multiplier values will be multiplied with each other for potentially massive wins. The third and final base game feature gives you 1 to 3 scatter symbols, which might help you trigger the bonus round.

You need at least 3 bank vault scatters anywhere to trigger said free spins round, but landing more scatters than the minimum of 3 can lead to solid payouts. You win 20x, 200x and 2,000x your stake when you land 4, 5 or 6 scatters, respectively, and then you get to choose between 3 different bonus round options.

The Mystery Symbols option (high volatility) gives you 8 free spins, and a symbol will be randomly chosen at the start of the feature to serve as the sticky mystery symbol. When you land this symbol on reels 2 to 6, they will get a mystery sticker slapped on them and transform into a randomly chosen symbol. They will then reveal matching symbols on each spin, and covering a whole reel with mystery stickers gives you 1 extra spin.

The Expanding Wilds option (very high volatility) gives you 10 free spins, and you will benefit from expanding wilds on the 2 middle reels. You get a respin for every expanding wild you land, and if you win on the respin the wild multiplier is increased by +1. This gives you another respin, and the process goes on as long as you keep winning.

The Multiplier Collect option (high volatility) gives you 12 free spins. You will collect coconuts above reels 2 to 5 here, and this increases the multiplier displayed above each reel. It takes 2 coconuts to increase the multiplier by +1, and this lights up 1 of 3 bars on the meter. You get 3 extra spins when all 3 lights on a reel’s meter is lit. Whenever you land a regular wild, it will be upgraded with the multiplier value achieved on the relevant reel(s).

Depending on your jurisdiction, you can also opt to buy the bonus round here. This will cost you no more than 100x your stake, and you get to choose between the 3 available options. You cannot take advantage of this feature if you live in the UK, unfortunately.

The 200 Spins Iron Bank Experience

We had some decent wins in the base game too here, but after a while of grinding we gave in to temptation and purchased the bonus round. Which of the 3 options we chose can be seen in the highlights video below, and the bonus round starts at 0:50 into the video.

Review Summary

You often hear the phrase “made by players, for players” thrown around by developers, but it rings more true when a third party streaming community has been heavily involved in the creation of Iron Bank. These streamers had no intention of re-inventing the reel with this game, but given the chance, they have combined all their favorite features into a heavyweight math model that packs a solid punch to the tune of 49,998x your stake.

Visually, the game sticks out with its pastel-colored cartoonish style, and the choice of 3 different bonus rounds makes for varied gameplay. Our favorite is perhaps the highly volatile Expanding Multiplier Wilds bonus round, but you can land solid payouts with any option here. The 3 random base game features can also be quite effective, and we like the 2,000x scatter win carrot Iron Bank dangles in front of you to balance out the temptation of simply buying the free spins round.

Pros

• Collaboration between Relax and CasinoGrounds streaming community
• 3 random base game features
• Choose between 3 unique bank heist bonus rounds
• High volatility and 49,998x max win potential

Cons

• Nothing truly new or innovative to see here
