Grand Loot

Grand Loot Review

It appears that 2021 is starting strong with some interesting new games. Grand Loot is a slot with a mafia theme, reminiscent of another popular game. Saying 'reminiscent' might be an understatement, as it shares many similarities, with some gameplay tweaks. Grand Loot offers a potential for big wins and an exciting bonus game, but the base game is lacking.

Grand Loot - Slot Outlook

The success of similar games lies in their Hold and Win feature and creative elements, which resonate with players. Grand Loot aims to provide a similar experience. The game is set in an American city from the 1930s, likely Chicago, a hub for criminal activity during that era.

The game takes place on a 5x4 reel set with 40 ways to play, with a rainy alley backdrop featuring street lights and classic cars. The soundtrack enhances the overall atmosphere.

Regarding the math model, Grand Loot has stats close to those of other games. The volatility is high, and the RTP is 96.24%. However, the slot might come in different RTP versions. Wins should occur fairly often, with a hit rate of 21.53%. The game offers a potential of 50,000x the stake.

The paytable includes 8 regular symbols, divided into two categories. The lower-value symbols are whiskey, cigars, pistols, and newspapers, while the higher-value symbols include posh cars, a bouncer, a gangster, and a mafia boss. All symbols pay out for combinations of three or more, with full combo wins ranging from 1x to 1.6x for low-value symbols, and 2.4x to 4x for high-value symbols. A woman is the Wild symbol, substituting for other regular symbols and paying 10x for 5-of-a-kind wins. Wilds can appear in Stacks up to 1x4 in size.

Grand Loot - Bonus Features

Grand Loot doesn't have a wide range of extra features. There are no bonus features in the base game, with the focus solely on the bonus game. This bonus appears often and offers excitement and rewards.

When 6 or more Scatter symbols appear simultaneously on any base game spin, the Grand Loot Bonus feature is activated. Players proceed to a new reel set with 3 spins to start, where blanks, cash values, and premium symbols are available. All triggering Scatters transform into random cash prizes and remain on the reels. New symbols that land on the grid also stick and reset the number of spins back to 3.

Premium symbols change their role and trigger special modifiers.

• Booster - reveals a random Multiplier of 2x-5x and applies it to 2-3 random symbols in view.
• Sniper - reveals a random Multiplier and adds it to all symbols in view.
• Sniper with a Golden frame - reveals a random Multiplier and adds it to all symbols in view and repeats on each spin for the remainder of the bonus game.
• Collector - reveals a random Multiplier and then collects values of all other visible symbols in view and adds them to the revealed Multiplier.
• Collector with a Golden frame - acts in the same way as the Collector symbol, but repeats on each spin for the remainder of the bonus game.

Symbol values can be boosted. When all 4 positions on a reel are filled with multipliers or special symbols, a 2x Multiplier will be applied to all symbols on that reel at the end of the bonus game.

Grand Loot - Slot Verdict

Grand Loot is an exciting, rewarding, well-balanced slot with a great look, and it's a good alternative to similar slots. However, similar titles might surpass it in certain areas. For example, the base game in Grand Loot is simple, while other games have Respins with a progressive Multiplier. Although it's not significant, it's a bonus that can provide extra prizes.

The bonus game is another consideration. While the same max wins are possible, achieving them might be more likely in other games. There are more bonus symbols in those games, which can help players get better rewards. Finally, Grand Loot lacks a Bonus Buy option, which is odd considering the focus on the bonus game. Other games often feature this option.
