Reel Banks Slot Review

Reel Banks Slot RTP, Details & Wager Limits

On launching Reel Banks, you’ll find a classic 5 reel 4 row layout, with 25 paylines. Wins are created by landing 3 or more matching symbols, from left to right on any of these paylines.

Bets start as low as 25p a spin, all the way up to £125. You can change your stake using the + and – buttons to the sides of the spin button. You can then choose to adjust the number of coins per line, the value of a coin, or the total bet.

Players from outside the UK can also activate an autoplay feature, which spins up to 1,000 times on your behalf. If you want faster spins, you can choose between quick and turbo spins too.

Reel Banks has an RTP rate of 96.04%, which is just above the industry average. The slot also has a high volatility, which means you may spin for a while without any wins, but the wins will be on the larger side when they do eventually land. The max win is 5,000 x your total stake, which can be achieved via the Free Spins bonus feature.

Theme – break into the banking business

Banking is a classic slot theme, which makes sense given it’s the embodiment of wealth and riches – everything you wish for from a slot. Set in the heart of a grand bank, behind the reels you’ll find high marble pillars, vault doors and piles of cash and bullion bars.

Although the setting feels similar to a scene from Inside Man, the bright colours on the reels make the slot far cheerier. Lower value symbols are represented by playing card suites, whilst high value symbols include 7s, purses stuffed with coins, stacks of dollar bills, and gold. The highest paying symbol is the banker himself, giving you up to 16 x your stake.

There’s also a wild symbol which substitutes for every other symbol, aside from the scatters. The wild also pays 16 x your stake if you land 5 of them on a payline.

This isn’t the first Pragmatic Play slot with a banking theme. Both Piggy Bank Bills and Empty the Bank are also based around the trappings of wealth and even have a similar feel about them.

Reel Banks Bonus Features

Inside the vault of Reel Banks, there are plenty of riches in the form of 2 bonus features. The Money Collect feature awards you multipliers of up to 500 x your bet, yet the Free Spins feature is where the real action happens. Read on to learn more about each feature.

Money Collect feature

The Money Collect feature is triggered when you land a Money symbol (represented by the coins) on the reels. The symbol can land on reels 1 to 4, and carries a multiplier between 1 to 500 x your stake.

To receive a win from the Money Collect feature, you also need to land a Collect symbol on reel 5. When both symbols (or multiple Money symbols and a Collect symbol) appear, the value of all Money symbols on the reels is awarded.

Free Spins feature

The free spins feature also begins with collecting Money symbols. You need at least 1 money symbol on each of the 5 reels to trigger the feature, and the round starts with 9 free spins.

When the round starts, a container appears at the top of each reel. Thevalue of each Money symbol on the reels is then added to the ‘reel bank’ above the respective reel. If new Money symbols land during your free spins, their values are also added to their reel’s reel bank.

Special modifier symbols may also appear to boost your winnings. These symbols have the following properties:

Symbol	Function
Reel Collect	Awards the value of the reel bank for whichever reel it lands on
Add Money to All Banks	Adds a random value between 1 and 500 x to all reel banks
+ 3 Free Spins	Awards 3 extra free spins
Collect All	Awards the value of all reel banks
Multiply All Reels	Multiplies all reel banks by a random value from 2 to 5
Multiply Reel	Multiplies the reel bank above it by a random value from 2 to 5

It’s also possible to buy your way into the Free Spins feature. This costs 80 x your current bet.

Reel Banks Review Summary – reasonable riches to be had

Whilst Reel Banks is a relatively simple slot, without many extra features, it is definitely entertaining. The theme is well executed, and the graphics look great. What’s more, the two features the slot does have definitely pack a punch.

The Money Collect feature is rewarding in the base game and adds an entertaining twist without much fanfare. That said, we’ve seen it before in other Pragmatic Play slots such as Black Bull.

Thankfully, the Free Spins feature is where the riches are in this bank. Naturally, you’ll want to see the ‘All Collect’ symbol land, but not too early. Big wins come when the ‘All Collect’ symbol falls after a sequence of other modifier symbols.

Overall, although the Reel Banks slot doesn’t offer anything too exhilarating, it’s a decent and enjoyable game. With a high volatility and max wins of 5,000 (higher than similar slots), it’s definitely worth a spin.
