Bankin Bacon Review
Bankin Bacon is a 6-reel, 4,069 ways to win slot developed by Blueprint Gaming that can see players win up to an impressive 50,000x their stake by way of a free spins bonus round. This bonus sees players collect cheques via a piggy bank collector wild. If players want to add another layer of excitement to their bonus gameplay they can spin a Mystery Choice Wheel that awards them with a random number of free spins and a random cheque value.
Design
This slot looks suspiciously like quite a few pig-based titles we've played before over the last few years... But we'll look past that and tell you exactly what you need to know about Bankin Bacon!
First things first, the game reels are set upon the facade of a grand bank with marble columns on either side of the game reels... Low paying symbols are your standard 10, J, Q, K and A. High paying symbols include a purse, wad of cash, scales, cash register and set of yellow, blue and green cheques. Special symbols include a golden pig coin scatter and a piggy bank collector wild.
In terms of music, this game has an upbeat jazz soundtrack that we genuinely enjoyed. It fit the theme of the game and didn't get at all annoying, more slots need jazz soundtracks!
Gameplay
This slot is incredibly simple... On the left-hand side of the game reels is a hamburger menu that gives players access to the sound settings, paytable and help page. On the right-hand side of the reels there's a stake selection button, spin button and autospin button.
Players who aren't in the United Kingdom can gain access to the Bonus Bet button, which is Bankin Bacon's feature buy option.
Win Potential
This medium volatility slot is perfect for those of you that have a mid-sized budget and want to perhaps avoid the slog of high volatility gameplay. In terms of RTP we're disappointed to see this slot sit so low at a paltry 95%... However, on the other hand, Bankin Bacon can see players win up to 50,000x their stake.
Our Verdict
Bankin Bacon is a pretty average slot if we're being honest! The gameplay isn't bad (nor is it great). Ultimately we had fun enough time spinning the reels and getting into the Banker Spins feature... However, we're finding it very difficult to look past the abysmal 95% RTP, even if there's a top prize of 50,000x the player's stake.
