Take the Bank: pull off the heist and break the bank
Take the Bank is a heist-themed dice slot, released in late 2019 and available at Loco Casino, in the dice slots category. Indeed, every symbol — cards as well as premium icons — is shown on white cubic dice.
Produced by Betsoft, the grid has 5 reels and 4 rows, with 75 fixed paylines and stakes ranging from €0.20 to €20.
The Master Bomb Counter: a guaranteed Wild every 10 spins
The core mechanic of Take the Bank is the Master Bomb Counter, a countdown permanently on show on the right-hand side of the grid. It restarts from 10 with each cycle and drops by one with every spin.
Each time a Robber symbol appears on the reels during a cycle, it immediately turns into a small bomb and locks in place. At the end of the 10 spins — when the counter reaches 0 — all the accumulated bombs explode at once and leave Wild symbols in their place. Those Wilds can then complete winning combinations across the 75 active lines.
This mechanic guarantees an interaction every 10 spins, whatever the frequency of winning combinations in between.
The symbols and paylines of Take the Bank
The grid of Take the Bank has 5 reels and 4 rows, with 75 fixed paylines. The low-value symbols are the classic cards (9, 10, J, Q, K, A), all shown on white cubic dice. The premium symbols draw on the heist world: red bomb, gold bars and a burglar's hook, also on dice.
The Wild replaces all standard symbols. The police car acts as the Scatter and triggers the free spins as soon as it appears in sufficient numbers.
The maximum win is 225 times the stake, a modest ceiling but a consistent one given the medium volatility and the win frequency tied to the Master Bomb Counter.
The free spins and Buy Feature of Take the Bank
15 free spins with moving Wilds
The appearance of 3 police cars on the grid triggers 15 free spins. During this phase, between 5, 7 or 10 Wild symbols are placed at random on the reels at the start of the round. Those Wilds move from one reel to another with each spin, staying visible for the whole duration of the free spins.
The Buy Feature
Take the Bank offers a Buy Feature button that gives direct access to the free spins without waiting for 3 Scatters to appear naturally. This option is available at a fixed cost proportional to the stake placed.
The Gamble
After each winning spin in the base game, the player can activate the Gamble: guess the colour of a turned card to try to double the win. A wrong choice cancels the win for that round.
Who is Take the Bank for?
With an RTP of 96.08% and medium volatility, it will appeal to players who do not like taking high risks. Its explosive Wild, guaranteed every 10 spins, will be appreciated by regular slot players, even if the game should stay a pleasure and nothing guarantees a win.
