Bank or Prank Demo Slot - Review for Canadians, Demo Play & Payout Info

Introduction

Bank or Prank is a slot by Stakelogic set in the world of banking. That may not sound promising; however, this being a Stakelogic slot, there is an irreverent angle that is all about robbing the bank and whether you will get away with money or a nasty surprise.

Stylistically, it is a world away from exotic games such as Stakelogic's Serengeti Wilds, but it has the same attention to detail that is common to all Stakelogic games. Particularly welcome is the 
free spins round.

Bank or Prank uses a standard 5x3 grid with 243 paylines. The regular symbols include the bank manager, the jester, the money bag, and the playing cards from ten to ace. The special symbols are the wild (a gold coin), the crazy wild (a gold and blue coin), and the bomb, which always brings bad news. All wins pay from left to right.

Theme, graphics and soundtrack

The background is the bright and shiny business district of a modern city, with skyscrapers framed against a blue sky. The reels are set against the imposing entrance of a very traditional bank, complete with Doric columns and statues of lions ostentatiously decorated with jewels, gold chains and crowns. The colours range from the bright and light sky to the pale marble of the bank building.

The reels spin against a marbled background, with the pastel-coloured symbols neatly framed. The bank manager is a pleasing stereotype of an ageing, grumpy-looking cigar smoker. A mystery win takes you into his office, where he is busy counting his money surrounded by piles of gold coins before your own winning bag of cash lands on the table in front of him accompanied by a kind of circus jingle. The rest of the soundtrack is a mixture of jaunty piano, brass and keyboards. The standard sound effects are complemented by the horn of the security van and the throaty laugh of the manager

Bank or Prank RTP and variance

Bank or Prank has an RTP of 95.78 per cent, which is slightly below the average for an online slot. The variance is classed by the maker as medium but not widely reported elsewhere, so we must assume this is correct.

Bank or Prank bonus features

Mystery symbols

The mystery symbols bonus is triggered when all three mystery symbols (question marks) have been collected during a game. When a mystery symbol lands on one of the rows on reel one, the corresponding mystery symbol container on the left-hand side of the reel lights up and the mystery symbol is saved. When all three have been collected, you win a mystery reward. Mystery symbols occur on reel one only.

Crazy wild symbols

The crazy wild game is triggered when all three crazy wild symbols have been collected during a game. When a crazy wild lands on one of the rows on reel five, the corresponding crazy wild container on the right-hand side of the reel lights up and the crazy wild symbol is saved. When all three have been collected, you win 10 free spins, which is the crazy wild game. Mystery symbols occur on reel five only.

Crazy wild game

At the beginning of each free spin, wild symbols will appear and lock into place randomly on the reels to give you more chances to win.

Bomb

When the bomb symbol lands on any row with previously collected crazy wilds or mystery symbols, the wilds and symbols are lost. Bombs appear on reels one and five.

Bank or Prank review: our verdict

Stakelogic has put together an entertaining game that looks good, moves quickly, and has plenty going on. The element of risk introduced by the bomb symbol can be very frustrating for players who focus only on the win, but others will be amused by the constant threat of disaster.
