Empty the Bank is a jolly slot with comical value centred around a bank job. The slot carries notes of an English theme with the bank robber laced with English tones of ‘what a bloke’ and ‘cash ‘n’ carry’. For the random base game feature the robber sprints across the screen with a bag of swag, notes flying out behind and the music creates suspense with chords similar to that found in the James Bond theme.

The pay symbols, beginning at the low end, start with J, Q, K and A, which award up to 3 times your bet for five of a kind. Gold coins, green bank notes and gold bars represent the mid paying symbols awarding up to 5 times your bet for five of a kind. A bag of jewels and a jewelled crown denote the high paying symbols awarding up to 20 times your stake for five of a kind. The bank robber wilds can appear on all reels substituting for all symbols except for the bonus symbols, appearing on reels 1, 3 and 5 only, characterised by two bank safes that trigger the bonus for landing all three.

Empty the Bank Slot Features

During any base game spin, the bank robber can sprint across the reels leaving wilds in a trail of flying notes. This random feature combined with stacked symbols can create inviting wins during the base game. What’s more, our criminal can also slam the three safes required to trigger the bonus round.

Landing three bonus symbols on reels 1, 3 and 5 triggers the Empty the Bank Respin Round. Our bank robber stands aside a 7×6 grid wall of safety deposit boxes. A round begins with 5 reels and 4 rows open, working as a 3 re-spin feature. For each re-spin, landing symbols will lock and reset your re-spin count to 3. Should no symbols land your re-spins reduce by one. The round continues until your re-spins run out or you complete the grid. The Empty the Bank Respin Round uses cash multipliers and modifiers in a similar structure Money Train 2:

• Money Symbols: Bags of cash central to the round that start with a random x2, x3, x4, x5, x6, x7, x8 or x10 multiplier value.
• Drill: Awards 1x bet and opens spaces on reel 1.
• Hammer: Awards 1x bet opening spaces on reel 7.
• Ladder: Award 1x bet and one of these will open spaces on row 6. A second will open spaces on row 7.
• Computer: Awards 1x bet and doubles all Money Symbol values.
• Walkie Talkie: Picks either 1x or 2x to add to all Money Symbol values and repeats its choice for all remaining re-spins until the round ends.
• Alarm: Increases the re-spin starting count to 4 for the remainder of the bonus.
• Bank Robber: Collects and sums all Money Symbol values and other potential Bank Robber totals into one, removing other bank robbers in the process from the grid to leave vacant positions.
• Safe Door: Awards 1x bet and collecting three will award the max win of 10,000x your bet.

Though impressive and varied, the modifiers can be grouped in their effects and the majority of locked symbols will be Money Symbols. The drill, hammer and ladder open boxes and expand the grid whilst the computer, walkie talkie and alarm increase the cash symbol multipliers. The bank robber brings it all together for some incredible values and three safe doors reveal the maximum possible win. At the end of each round, the multiplying value shown in the ‘total win’ counter will multiply your stake for the win.

Final Verdict

Pragmatic Play might steal a winner with Empty the Bank. The Respin Bonus fits the massively popular Money Train 2 mould, with multipliers, modifiers and expanding grid plus the random feature swings in some decent sized wins from the base game. If comparing, the potential is clearly different but the base game frequency of big wins felt similar, albeit offered in a different way. Empty the Bank is nothing new but carries the marks of a popular title and carries them well, with a seemingly good hit rate and balance found in our limited demo play; a point that can only be validated with more time on the reels and should never be used as a benchmark.
