Hit the Bank: Hold and Win

Hit the Bank: Hold and Win Review

There’s no stopping when it comes to Hold and Win slots, so it’s no wonder that we’re now getting a game called Hit the Bank: Hold and Win. It’s fairly big, too, as its playing field has 5 reels, 4 rows and as many as 40 paylines.

As for the slot’s theme, it’s your basic heist affair, and your goal is to get into a huge bank safe and get as much money as possible. The graphics are quite polished and colorful, so we have nothing to complain about on that front. Hit the Bank: Hold and Win certainly looks and feels good!

Let’s now take a look at the mathematical model of Hit the Bank: Hold and Win. Its volatility is high, though you can win as much as 20,000x your bet if you get lucky. The game’s hit frequency is then 26.32%, and low rollers can jump in for as little as £0.10 per spin. High rollers, meanwhile, can take the ante up to £100 per spin if they want to. Sadly, the theoretical RTP of Hit the Bank: Hold and Win is only 95.21%, which is substantially below average.

Hit the Bank: Hold and Win Slot Features

There are 8 pay symbols in Hit the Bank: Hold and Win, and they are split evenly between low pays and high pays. For low pays, there are your basic card rank symbols from Jacks to Aces, and these pay up to 5x your bet per winning combination. For high pays, on the other hand, there are 4 mafia members, and the boss symbols are worth the most. For a set of five, you’ll get 20x your bet!

To spice things up, there are Safe Wilds and Bank symbols. Safe Wilds can substitute for any of the pay symbols, and they also have the same payout values as the top-paying boss symbols. Bank symbols, meanwhile, are there to trigger the Hold and Win feature.

To trigger the Hold and Win feature, you have to find 3, 4, or 5 Bank symbols on the board. This will trigger the feature with 3, 5, or 10 starting Coin symbols, respectively. Each Coin symbol has a random bet multiplier from 1x to 10x, and all Coin symbols slide down by one position with each spin. Respins continue for as long as there’s at least one Coin symbol in view, and your winnings increase as soon as a Coin symbol hits falls off the playing board.

The top row of the playing field can also reveal various Bonus Game Boosters, which can either boost your Coin symbols by a certain value or add a certain win multiplier to them. The value boosts can be as high as +100x your bet, while the win multipliers can be as high as 50x.

Players that don’t want to wait for standard triggers can then use the Buy Bonus Game option and simply purchase a trigger for a set price. Going for that option will set you back by 100x your bet.

Review Summary

At the end of the day, Hit the Bank: Hold and Win is yet another reasonable Hold and Win slot. This time around, we have a pretty fresh Hold and Win feature on our hands, but it all comes with a disappointing RTP value. It’s not a disaster, but things certainly could’ve been better from the mathematical point of view!
