Beastly Burglars Slot Review - Review, Demo Play, Payout, Free Spins & Bonuses

You may have seen slots where the aim was to commit crimes before, but it’s unlikely they had the exact same format as Beastly Burglars. Yes, it has a standard five reels, but the rows appear 1-3-5-3-1 at the centre of an otherwise locked playing grid. Crack open the vaults and with them the full 5x5 layout, increasing your ways to win from 45 to 3125, then see if you can make the most of the reel multipliers or trigger the free spins bonus.

Introduction

If you’ve ever watched any heist movies, you’ll know the heist crew is traditionally made of a diverse range of characters, each with their own style and specialities. Why should slots be any different? Though admittedly, most of those heists were committed by humans. The “Beastly” part of the Beastly Burglars slot is literal.

A racoon in a suit, all smoothness and charm. A pig/boar built like a tank, armed and ready to fight. A hacker in a hoodie who happens to be an owl. Just a few members of this crew, which also includes gun-toting foxes and birds as well as a knife-wielding monkey. 

Plan the Heist

With your crew put together you need something to steal, and where better to look than a museum packed with valuable artefacts? Behind the sealed vaults that make up the rest of the locked reels you can see display cases and Egyptian statues in the background, and there’s a pharaoh’s mask symbol too. The dark, atmospheric passageway of the base game turns into the red of a security light during free spins.

Beastly Burglars RTP and Variance

The top RTP of the Beastly Burglars slot is 96%, though casinos have the option to set it lower. The variance is medium.

How to Win at Beastly Burglars

Most five-reel slots have three rows; some, like The Grand Show, have four. The starting 1-3-5-3-1 layout is distinctive, and it means you don’t just spend the base game matching three to five symbols in paying combinations but also using your winning symbols to try and unlock more of the grid. This could increase your initial 45 ways to win up to a full 3125. 

Top Wins

• Beastly Burglars has 12 regular paying symbols, one wild symbol and one scatter symbol.


• Images from a standard deck of cards make up the low-value symbols. Any matching combination of five is worth x0.8 your wager.


• Animals are higher-paying symbols. The pig/boar in particular pays as much as x5.


• Overall the max win available is x10,000.

Beastly Burglars Bonuses 

Bonuses are a big part of many modern slots. In Beastly Burglars, just using re-spins to unlock the full playing grid is a big feature, but don’t forget the reel multipliers. There’s also a free spins round, complete with its own gamble wheel.

Changing Grid

So we’ve established that the playing area in the Beastly Burglars slot is partially locked. What do you do next? Well, first you find some winning symbols. That’ll trigger a free re-spin, during which one of the sealed vaults adjacent to the current playing area will be opened.

Reel Multipliers

Each reel has its own win multiplier, but like the full grid they start out locked. You unlock the central multiplier at the same time as your first vault, on your first winning spin, but other multipliers require you to clear all the vaults on that reel first.

Free Spins

Every scatter symbol goes into to the bonus collector, and once it reaches three you’ll be awarded eight free spins. There are two extra spins on offer if you manage to unlock every vault. If a multiplier symbol lands during free spins, a win multiplier of up to x50 is added to that reel’s reel multiplier.

Gamble Wheel

Some slots let you gamble your winnings: here you can gamble your free spins. You can spin a wheel to either increase your free spin award or to be sent back to the base game with no free spins at all. Further gambles can up the spin count to 12 or either 15, with the golden segment ending the wheel and starting the feature proper.

Beastly Burglars Review - Summary 

A video slot with five rows of five reels isn’t unusual. One that starts with 1-3-5-3-1 rows that you then need to unlock is rarer. You may reveal all 3125 ways to win, but there are no guarantees. Then there are the other features, like the reel multipliers and the free spins, that add even more layers to this game. It’s not the simplest of slots, which depending on your preferences could be a good or bad. See how it compares to other AvatarUX slots.
