The developer Ainsworth’s August 2021 video slot Rob the Bank is subtitled Lucky Break [Extra], which is a series that also contains Krakatoa (September 2019), Grand Circus (December 2020), Ancient Wisdom, Laughing Dragon (December 2021), and Norse Legend (April 2022).

Themes: bank heist, loot, legal tender, gunfight, banking service, and the mafia. Rob the Bank has: 100 adjustable lines (two eleven-bet sets), rightward combinations, five non-progressive jackpots, three scatters, eight randomized gunnysack/coin-embedded bet multipliers, two sets of prolonging free games, and fifteen symbols.

Nine symbols (godfather, wad of bills, fedora, watch, car, A, K, Q, and J) require three/four/five-of-a-kind, paying: from X0.10 to X4 for 50 lines; and from X0.05 to X2 for 100 lines. A set of three mismatching (“Rob the Bank” vault, gunnysack, and “Lucky Break” coin) pay X1 for either 50 lines or 100 lines.

Rob the Bank Game Characteristics

There is a silhouetted, spying, and chain-smoking bank godfather outside the closed, lantern-lit, and chalk-stoned “Bank” backgrounding the Rob the Bank’s 5X3 grid. The partitioned, dotted, and golden-framed grid has translucent gray reels.

Players set 50 lines, or 100 lines. The 50 lines’ total bets: $0.50 (minimum bet), $1.00, $1.50, $2.00, $2.50, $5.00, $7.50, $10.00, $15.00, $20.00, and $25.00. The 100 lines’ total bets: $1.00, $2.00, $3.00, $4.00, $5.00, $10.00, $15.00, $20.00, $30.00, $40.00, and $50.00 (maximum bet).

The Rob the Bank’s six special symbols: substituting red-and-golden “wild” pockmarks; white “Rob the Bank” vault (scatter); brown “$” gunnysack among stacked coins (scatter); golden “Lucky Break” coin (scatter); free spins-prolonging sky blue “extra break”; and reel-closing red-and-white “robbery alarm”.

Nine ordinary symbols: typical fedora-wearing godfather’s silhouette; wads of light green bills; off-white fedora hat; golden watch; illuminated vintage car; and Park Lane font-like golden A, K, Q, and J.

Rob the Bank has these universal payouts. For the 50 lines: A/K/Q/J pay X0.10, X0.20, and X1; cars pay X0.10, X0.30, and X1.50; watches pay X0.10, X0.30, and X2; hats pay X0.10, X0.60, and X2; bills pay X0.10, X0.60, and X2.50; godfathers pay X0.30, X1, and X4; and three mismatching “Rob the Bank”/gunnysack/ “Lucky Break” coin pay X1.

For 100 lines: A/K/Q/J pay X0.05, X0.10, and X0.50; cars pay X0.05, X0.15, and X0.75; watches pay X0.05, X0.15, and X1; hats pay X0.05, X0.30, and X1; bills pay X0.05, X0.30, and X1.25; godfathers pay X0.15, X0.50, and X2; and three mismatching “Rob the Bank”/gunnysack/ “Lucky Break” coin pay X1.

Minimum combinational win: $0.05 for a three-of-a-kind of A/K/Q/J/car/watch/hat/bills. Maximum combinational win: $100.00 for a five-of-a-kind of godfathers.

Drawing two vaults and a gunnysack opens the gateway to the cashiers’ counter booths. Set inside the bank on reels embedded on the “Cashier 1”, “Cashier 2”, and “Cashier 3” booths; the three-reel and one-line side game draws credited gunnysacks, or grayed “Rob the Bank” logos.

The gunnysacks credits result from betX1, betX2, betX3, betX5, betX10, betX20, or betX50 multipliers. A drawn alarm closes down its respective white reel—a “closed” tag chained on a steel door, where closed gates end the side game.

Drawing two vaults and a “Lucky Break” coin award six free spins, with: appearing ringed “Extra Break” coins offering +1 free round; and bet-multiplying coins, or jackpot-specific coins.

The free mode’s three progressively increasing rings move around the grid, encircling symbols all the while at random. Subsequently, the rings may encircle—and prompt a payout for—the coins whose credits result from betX1, betX2, betX3, betX5, betX10, betX20, betX25, or betX50 multipliers.

Alternatively, the rings may encircle and prompt a: blue-and-golden coin’s $25.00 “mini” jackpot; green-and-golden coin’s $50.00 “minor” jackpot; purple-and-golden coin’s $250.00 “maxi” jackpot; red-and-golden coin’s $1250.00 “major” jackpot; or golden coin’s $25000.00 “grand” jackpot.

Rob the Bank has good software: HTML5 technology; mobile/desktop versions; 10/25/50/75/100 auto spins. Sounds: ambient lounge music; and screeching, retro, chinking, clanging doors, police siren, “let’s drift”, clinking, whooshing, ringing, news bulletin about robbery, and gunshot effects.

The animated 3D graphics: crisscrossing rings, ascending bills, shaky grid, self-opening vault, golden glow, opening and closing security doors, cigar-lighting and puffing robber, dolly zooming, and gushing coins.
