In lingo you’ve probably come across the phrase “making bank ” which means raking in a lot of cash. But what might be new, to those with German is the expression “schwein gehabt,” literally translating to “got pig ” signifying luck. Pigs have symbolized wealth in Germany even inspiring the creation of pig shaped money boxes. Whether these piggy banks originated from there or not they are widely featured in slot games like Bankin’ Bacon by Blueprint Gaming.
Blueprint Gaming has crafted Bankin’ Bacon with a setting of Big Time Gamings Royal Mint Megaways but with a whimsical touch suitable for its piggy bank theme. The game is staged atop stairs leading to a bank building topped with a glass dome giving off an exclusive vibe that suggests it caters to the wealthy elite rather, than everyday depositors. It’s the kind of establishment frequented by aristocrats and worth individuals.
Regular people can appreciate the beauty of the buildings, from afar.. When the Banker Spins are activated players get the chance to step inside and compete in a game to grab some cash from the bank vault.
The gaming takes place on a grid, with 6 reels and 4 rows where you win by lining up symbols from left to right on reels creating 4,096 winning combinations. It’s not clear what the exact frequency of wins is. In testing you either benefitted from the collection system or faced consequences due to the limited ways to win. The fact that Bankin’ Bacon has a return to player rate of 94% doesn’t help matters. In terms of gameplay specifics this game operates at a medium to volatility level. Allows players to wager between 10 cents/pence and $/€100 per spin.
Upon examining the paytable you’ll find a variety of nine paying symbols. The initial five symbols consist of card royals ranging from 10 to A; followed by icons like bags of coins, stacks of banknotes weighing scales and vintage cash registers. There’s a theme running through these symbols. If you manage to land six premium symbols across the reels you can expect payouts ranging from 50 to 200 times your amount. Cheque symbols serve purposes in Bankin’ Bacon. They not reward players with up to ten times their bet when six matching ones appear but also play a key role, during Banker Spins by accumulating individual values.
If you’ve played the popular slot game Fishin’ Frenzy before you’ll notice a similarity, with another game that involves a feature when it comes to spins. By landing 3, 4, 5 or 6 gold coin scatter symbols players can earn themselves 10 15, 20 or even 30 Banker Spins. Alternatively of taking the given number of spins players have the option to take a chance with the Mystery Choice feature. Choosing this option leads to a prize wheel spinning to decide whether they receive fewer spins than initially won and one cheque value for the duration of Banker Spins. The concept of set cheques ensures that one specific value will be present on the money scatters during this phase.
Moving on to the spins round where both cheque and piggy bank symbols can appear on the reels. When both symbols are visible simultaneously the pig collects all the cheques which are then added to the win, from spins. If multiple piggy bank wilds land at once each wild gathers all cheques individually. Once Banker Spins come to an end players receive payouts based on their line wins and scatter wins accumulated during gameplay.
