Heist Online Slot by Betsoft Review

Heist Bonus Symbols and Features

Besides the combinations of regular symbols, special symbols which trigger bonus options are activated in the Heist movie-themed slot. The symbols are like the Scatter symbols - the number of these icons in the game screen is counted rather than their arrangement on the reels. The bonus symbols are:

• A glass cutter - activates the Glass Cutter Feature
• Explosive C4 - activates 2х Wild Reel
• An electric drill - acts like Scatter with  the awards for the number of symbols in a combination (Scatter Drill). Three, four and five icons with the minimum bet earn you: 150, 300 and 750 credits
• The door of the warehouse activates the bonus game on the additional screen

The bonus options awarded for winning combinations of the bonus symbols depend on the bet size. All bonus prizes are based on the cost of the spin.

Glass Cutter Feature

Glass Cutter Feature is activated when three pictures of the glass cutter appear on the screen. By clicking on any of the three icons, you reveal one of the instant rewards:

• Free spins
• The bonus game on the additional screen
• Credits (the amount of the win depends on the bet size)

2х Wild Reel

When the picture of the explosive appears in the centre of the screen, the whole third reel turns Wild with the multiplier of x2. The fields of the third reel turn into joker symbols, i.e. they can replace any missing icons of the winning combination. The payouts for combinations of the Wild reel are doubled. The reel is likely to be fixed during one more spin. It is fixed randomly. If the reel remains fixed for the next spin, the chances of forming winning combinations increase.

Scatter Drill bonus

When three or more drill icons appear on the screen, you earn the credits. The amount of win depends on the number of drill icons and the size of the selected bet.

Bonus Game

Three doors of the safe trigger the mini game on the additional screen. During the bonus round you take part in the quest playing the role of the robber. You are asked to develop the robbery plan of the warehouse and to implement it and not to be caught by detective Kowalski. Depending on the effectiveness of the developed plan and the speed of its implementation, you earn the reward equal to the total bet.

Symbols and Multipliers

During the game session on the 3D slot Heist you earn the payouts for combinations - sequences of identical symbols. Winning combinations of regular symbols are counted from left to right, from reel 1 to reel 5. Most combinations are formed by as few as three symbols. The exceptions are the detective and the robber icons. These icons pay the winnings when formed by two identical symbols in a row.

All winnings in the pay table are shown in credits. As the line bet changes, the number found next to the icon and the number showing the length of the combination changes as well. To make things simple, let us describe the payouts for combinations during the game session with the minimum bet:

• A stop watch pays you 10, 30 and 50 credits for three, four and five icons respectively
• A digital security lock - 15, 50 and 75
• Blueprints for a warehouse - 20, 60 and 100
• A pistol - 30, 90 and 150
• A bag of money - 40, 120 and 200
• A bank note - 50, 150 and 250
• A pouch of diamonds - 60, 200 and 300
• Detective Kowalski - 80, 250 and 400, and for two icons in a row - 2 credits
• A robber - 100, 300 and 500, and for two icons - 5 credits

Most combinations of three symbols earn the payouts which correspond with or exceed the total bet. However, the combinations land quite rarely in the game screen. So, the winnings in the main game are quite small. You can get more credits during the bonus rounds.

How to Play Heist for Free

You can play Heist for free if you load the demo version that is the licensed trial copy of the real game by Betsoft. During the game session virtual currency is used for betting - as the slot loads, 1,000 coins are deposited into your account. The coins are converted into credits in the ratio of 0.1 to 1 by default. You can change this ratio. In the Choose Coin Bet window you can select a number in the range of 0.02 to 1 by showing the number of coins in a credit. Then use the following buttons on the control panel to run the slot:

• Bet per Line - configures the line bet in the range of 1 to 5 credits
• Select Lines - sets the number of active paylines in the range of 1-30
• Max Bet - establishes the maximum value of the line bet and the largest number of paylines, starts one reelspin
• Spin - activates a single reelspin under set terms

You can monitor the slot parameters in the light blue display found in the bottom left corner of the screen.

• Balance - displays the amount of coins in your account
• Credits - the amount of credits available for betting
• Bet – your bet per spin in credits
• Win - your win for one or several combinations lined up in the game screen at the end of the spin

One of the bonus options of the slot is the Autoplay feature. The Autoplay button is found at the top of the screen. By using the button you can open an additional window to set the following parameters:

• # of Lines - the number of active lines in the Autoplay mode
• Coin Value - denomination (the ratio of coins to credits)
• Bet per Line - the line bet
• The number of consecutive spins in the range of 5 to 100

Auto spins can make the process of winning combos forming quicker. However, note that while the Autoplay mode is on, you cannot change the set parameters (the number of lines and the bet).

To view the game rules, the payline patterns and the pay table, click the View Pays button. In this window you can find the payouts for combinations, combination forming conditions and the description of the bonus features of the slot. 

The Heist online slot game by Betsoft is a slot of medium variance with additional game features. The advantages of the slot are four bonus features and the payouts that exceed the total bet size for most of the combinations of three icons in a row.
