Reel Banks Slot by Pragmatic Play 🎰 Free Demo and Review

Reel Banks Review

We have seen the Bank’s theme before from Pragmatic Play, and from many other developers as well. Still, there is something about the sight of all those piles of cash that gives you an appetite for a spin or ten, just in case some of it will flow in your direction. Reel Banks comes with relatively standard visuals for this genre, but the presentation is polished as usual from this experienced developer.

The base game is placed in the bank vault area, with a massive steel door seen on the right-hand side. You’re taken into a vault filled with gold bars in the bonus round, and the feature is all about accumulating cash prizes above each reel. You get a cash collect system in the base game, and special symbols will enhance and collect the accumulated prizes in the bonus round. The 5,000x potential is decent, and not least when you consider the 1 in 214,436 hit rate.

Reel Banks Slot Features

The premium symbols pay between 6 and 16 x your stake for 5 of a kind wins, and Wild symbols can appear on any reel to step in for pay symbols to help complete wins. The wild pays the same as the top-tier diamond inspector symbol should 3 to 5 land on a payline.

You can also land Money Symbols, and they come with cash prizes between 1x and 500x your stake. You need the Collect symbol on reel 5 to collect the money symbols, however, and the money symbols can appear on all 5 reels.

In fact, this is how you trigger the Bonus Round, and you get 9 free spins whenever at least 1 money symbol appears on all 5 reels. A ‘reel bank’ container is placed on top of each bonus round reel, and the reel bank collects the triggering cash symbol values from each reel. All new money symbols that land are collected per reel as well, and you can also land the following special symbols:

• Reel Collect - awards the total cash prize in the reel bank above.
• All Collect - awards the total value from all 5 cash banks.
• Add Money to All Banks - adds up to 500x the stake to all reel banks.
• Multiply Reel - boosts the reel bank above by a multiplier of x2, x3, x4, or x5.
• Multiply All Reels - boosts all reel banks by x2, x3, x4, or x5.
• Add 3 Spins - awards 3 extra free spins.

Just to be clear, you do not actually win anything that’s collected in the cash banks. To win, you need to land reel collect and all collect symbols. Also, non-UK players, and anyone eligible, can purchase the bonus round for 80x the stake. The RTP remains unchanged if you buy the feature, and the organic hit rate is 1 in 211 spins.

The 200 Spins Reel Banks Slot Experience

Nothing overly exciting happened for us in the base game, but you get a glimpse of it before we purchase the bonus round at 0:46 into the 2-minute highlights video. We got decent starting values added to the reel banks, and you can see for yourself how much we got away with by hitting the pay button below.

Review Summary

The bank/money theme is familiar, and the visuals are very typical Pragmatic Play. The presentation gets the job done though, and it’s not as glossy and superficial as many other wealth-themed installments out there. You get a classic cash prize collect system in the base game, which admittedly can land you decent prizes on a good day.

Things are more likely to heat up when the bonus round triggers, and the feature does come with some neat extras that can make an impact. The downside of the whole reel bank system is that you can rack up solid sums in the banks, but it’s rather annoying when you don’t land symbols to collect. Collect symbols can also abound when you don’t really need them, but on a good day you can cash out up to 5,000x your stake (with a solid 1 in 214,436 hit rate).

Black Bull - is a North American animal installment also from Pragmatic Play, and you get money symbols up to 50x that are collected by wilds.
