Beat the Bobbies Demo Slot - Review for Canadians, Demo Play & Payout Info

Introduction

Join top cat burglar Penny as she aims to steal the crown jewels and Beat the Bobbies. Can you help her pull off the heist of the century?

This Eyecon free play slot has a fun jewel heist theme and some clever cartoon graphics wrapped up in a 5x3 243 ways package. All the features you’d expect are here, so look out for the British bobby for some wild substitution action.

Penny herself is the free spins scatter, triggering the exciting choose-your-volatility feature. We’ll get into your options later, but this powerful symbol also pays out the top prize in this slot of 50x your total bet.

Of course, a successful heist is never guaranteed, but this exhilarating slot offers players a wild ride. You can play practice spins here at Slots Temple, and this mobile-optimised game looks great on iOS, Android and Windows handheld devices.

Theme, Graphics & Soundtrack

Did you know that the nickname bobbies comes from Sir Robert Peel, the man who invented the modern police force back in 1829? At the time policemen were also known as peelers for the same reason.

We don’t know if Penny will get away with the loot, but only one man has ever stolen the Crown Jewels. In 1671 an Irishman known as Captain Blood disguised himself as a priest and forced his way into the Jewel House at the Tower of London.

The alarm was raised and Blood tried to make a run for it, flattening the Crown with a mallet and sticking the orb down his trousers. Impressed by his audacity, King Charles II awarded him a pension for life and Blood became a huge celebrity.

Penny will have to evade the bobbies, a guard in a Busby, a cleaner, the butler, a bulldog and an American tourist before she can get away with the dazzling loot, including crowns and tiaras. The visuals have plenty of flair, and this slot is only let down by the lack of a soundtrack.

RTP & Volatility

Eyecon have combined 95.25% RTP and medium volatility in an effort to appeal to most players. The RTP is way below average, but the potential of the free spins may prove hard to resist, and all payouts are calculated in multiples of your total bet - not the line bet.

Bet Sizes & Paytable Wins

Beat the Bobbies seems to be aimed at casual players with its fairly tight bet options.

Minimum bet: 0.25 credits
Max bet: 50.00 credits

This slot uses a 243 ways mechanic, so wins are secured by landing matching symbols on adjacent reels rather than paylines. With more potential for wins the prizes are lower, but the paytable in this slot awards players with multipliers of their total bet.

5-oak wins are:

- Penny pays 50x
- Pink Diamond pays 40x
- Crown pays 32x
- Tiara pays 20x
- Ring pays 20x
- Tourist pays 8x
- Bulldog pays 8x
- Butler pays 6x
- WPC pays 6x
- Horseguard pays 4x
- Cleaner pays 4x

Bonus Features

There’s one big bonus feature here that’s well worth hanging out for, but Eyecon have added a couple of other surprises along the way, including the Penny scatter prize which pays 5x, 10x or 50x your total bet when you land three, four or five scatters and trigger those powerful free spins.

There are five free spins options to choose from when you land three or more Penny scatters anywhere in view, and these range in volatility from low to high:

- 20 free games with 2x wins
- 15 free games with 3x wins
- 10 free games with 4x wins
- 8 free games with 5x wins
- 5 free games with 10x wins

Free spins can be retriggered up to 15 times, and you’ll get another choice of free spins and multipliers.

No wonder the bobby is wild as Penny looks like getting away with the loot. He’ll substitute for every other symbol to create multiple wins when he appears on reels 2, 3 and 4, but he can’t replace Penny.

Overall Review: Our Verdict

Beat the Bobby is a fun caper-themed slot that’s packed with stiff upper lips and British bulldogs. There’s a terrific choose-your-own-volatility free spins bonus with retriggers and five choices of spins and multipliers plus some nice wins that multiply your line bet.

For more jolly British themed fun try the Spin Town online slot from Red Tiger Gaming, a travel themed slot packed with five different kinds of wilds.
