Bust The Mansion Review

Pulse 8 Studios is yet another independent developer under the Microgaming umbrella, and they have stated ambitions of creating the “most innovative and diverse gaming content” that “shows the market endless possibilities”. There’s nothing wrong with lofty ambitions, but a release like Bust The Mansion is hardly putting your money where your mouth is. There is very little new to see here, and the audiovisual presentation is mediocre too.

You’ve already broken into the mansion as the game starts, and the reels look like a bookshelf full of valuable artifacts and cash vault symbols. The alarm goes off as you trigger the Link&Win feature, and filling the grid awards the 5,000x Grand Jackpot. We got the feature quite often during testing, and it has a higher chance of triggering from within the bonus round for reasons you’ll understand from the feature section below.

Bust The Mansion Slot Features

The 4 premium symbols pay between 6 and 20 x your stake for 5 of a kind wins, and the Wild symbol pays 400x your stake for the same. The wild, of course, also steps in for all regular pay symbols to help complete winning combinations. Other than that, you can look forward to the Link&Win feature, as well as a regular bonus round.

The Link&Win bonus triggers when you land 6+ vault money symbols anywhere in view, and as the burglary alarm goes off the triggering vault symbols become sticky on a new and otherwise cleared grid. You start with 3 respins, and each new cash vault or jackpot symbol that lands resets the respins tally to 3 again.

The Mini, Minor, Major and Mega jackpot symbols are worth 20x, 50x, 200x and 1,000x your stake, respectively, and you can land more than one during the feature. To win the Grand Jackpot worth 5,000x your stake however, you need to fill the grid completely with non-blank symbols. This also ends the Link&Win feature, and your total payout is then summed up.

The Bonus Round triggers when you land 3, 4 or 5 golden key scatters anywhere in view, and this gives you 10, 15 or 25 free spins, respectively. The middle reel is replaced by a special reel where only money vault symbols land, and they serve double duty as wilds. This can help trigger the Link&Win feature from within the bonus round, while also helping you with regular wins. You can retrigger the bonus round with extra spins by landing 3 or 4 scatters on the same free spin.

You get to see a minute or so of the base game, before we trigger the Link&Win feature at 1:05 into the 4:50-minute highlights video. We skip to the bonus round trigger right after, or more precisely at the 2:43-mark, and you can see it all for yourself by hitting the play button below.

Review Summary

The whole ‘breaking into a mansion’ theme could perhaps have been even more developed, but it is kind of fun when the alarm goes off as you trigger the Link&Win feature. It adds a sense of drama and urgency, although the feature itself is hardly anything new. If no jackpot symbols land, and they usually don't, you’ll end up with top-up payouts around 25x most of the time, but at least the Link&Win feature did seem to trigger quite often.

The money vault wild symbols that land on reel 3 in all bonus round spins is somewhat original, and it can, in theory, lead to 10,000x single spin payouts if you fill the screen with wilds. Getting a nested Link&Win trigger is probably your best bet at larger payouts though, and getting close to filling the grid to win the 5,000x Grand Jackpot happened quite often during testing. Of course, this is just a teaser, as you can literally feel that only blanks will land when 3 respins remain with only 1 position left.

If you enjoy Bust The Mansion Slot you should also try:

Hyper Gold - is a Gameburger (Microgaming) release with a casino theme, and you can look forward to a somewhat similar hold-and-win style feature with jackpots up to 5,000x your stake. The bonus round features 3x3 mega symbols on the 3 middle reels, and you can win up to 12,500x your stake.

Vault Cracker - is a highly engaging Red Tiger heist slot, and it’s a good example of how to develop such a theme in a satisfactory way. The hold-up artist robs all present cash vaults when he lands on reel 5, and you win 1,410x your stake if you manage to break open the diamond vault in the hold and win style bonus round.

Diamond Heist Hold & Win - is a cartoon style heist slot from iSoftBet, and you can look forward to 3 random base game modifiers. Heist Spins may lead to the hold and win feature, which comes with unlockable rows and jackpots up to 500x your stake. The bonus round comes with a progressive win multiplier, which can lead to 4,684x payouts.
