Cash Bandits Museum Heist

Cash Bandits Museum Heist Review

Every two or three years developer RTG comes with a new part of its popular Cash Bandits series, giving the game massive upgrades and bringing new experiences for the players. The original was published back in 2015, and we’ve already seen parts 2 and 3 released in 2017 and 2020 respectively. Now, the time has come for the fourth installment to hit the market. However, instead of an official part 4 we get somewhat of a spin-off, called Museum Heist, where our beloved robbers go on a ‘tour’ to a museum to put their hands on the most valuable treasures and famous artistic masterpieces.

Visually, Cash Bandits Museum Heist is a step ahead of its predecessors, even the third part that hit the market relatively not so long ago. A lot has been improved, including graphics, animations, and even sounds. Overall, the game looks extremely charming, and there’s nothing to be found to complain about.

Cash Bandits Museum Heist Slot - Reel Screen

The actions of the game take place across a standard 5x3 reel setup, and players have 25 ways to play on each spin. Bets range from £0.25 to £25 per spin, which should appeal to many, although there aren’t too many options for high-rollers. The volatility is high, and the RTP is lower than average at 95%. Plus, keep in mind that a certain percentage goes towards the jackpots, so the actual payback is even lower. The winning potential isn’t overly impressive as well, offering prizes up to 5,000x the bet.

The paytable consists of 11 different regular symbols that create winning combinations when at least 3 of the same kind land adjacently starting from the leftmost reel. In ascending order, they are gems, rings, earrings, necklaces, Faberge eggs, statues, paintings, crowns, museum buildings, and two character symbols, namely a museum employee and a police sheriff. Five-of-a-kind combinations are worth from 2x to 16x the bet.

Cash Bandits Museum Heist Slot - Free Spins

There are two different symbols of robbers present in the Cash Bandits Museum Heist slot, who are Wilds. They can appear on all reels to substitute for any of the regular symbols to help you achieve winning combos. Additionally, they have an extra special function, called Wild Morphing. Whenever one of the robbers appears anywhere in view, it can randomly expand to 3x3 to produce bigger winning opportunities.

Keep an eye for the Scatter symbols, which are the key to triggering the game’s main feature. When 3 or more appear anywhere in view, the Free Spins bonus is activated, preceded by the Museum Heist mini-game.

During the Museum Heist, players are presented with a selection of 8 covered paintings, which they need to pick one by one to reveal the so-called Free Games Boosters, which can be anything of the following:

• 2x, 3x, 4x, or 5x Multiplier - increases each win during the feature by the corresponding value.
• Wild Reel 1 or 5 - turns reels 1 or 5 into Wild.
• Center 3x3 - merges the three middle reels into one massive reel.

If the chosen painting reveals a red X, the alarm meter increments by 1 point. When 3 red Xs are revealed, the alarm goes off, the pick bonus ends, and the round of free spins with collected boosters begins. The number of free spins and possible boosters depends on the number of Scatter symbols used to trigger the feature, as follows:

The Cash Bandits Museum Heist slot is also a part of RTG’s jackpot network, offering players an opportunity to win two different progressive jackpot prizes, namely Minor and Major. Either of the jackpots can randomly pop up on any paid spin.

Review Summary

To sum up, Cash Bandits Museum Heist is a decent addition to the series, delivering new gameplay experiences to fans of the franchise while still giving the good ol’ Cash Bandits vibes. There’s a lot for players to get stuck into, and with such a number of features involved, a delightful session is guaranteed!
