Bar X Safecracker Megaways

Game Details

This game has been designed by Blueprint Gaming, a development team that have given us many different Megaways titles in the past. They have worked together on this game using the license that Big Time Gaming have in place to produce Megaways slots.

The game has a standard Megaways layout, which is a 6×7 gaming board and reels that can offer a variety of different numbers of symbols, depending on the game situation you are in.

The aim of the game is a simple one, to crack the bank safe and take home the prize, you will see many references to this throughout your game, with the end goal of winning the jackpot by opening the safe.

You will see the popular BAR and X symbols displayed on the reels here, they are part of the gaming mechanism on this slot. This is certainly going to appeal to older gamers who remember those old-style slot games with these symbols on them which gave out wins.

RTP & Payouts

Talking of giving out wins, the RTP on this game stands at 96.30% which puts this game above average in terms of payout when compared to other slot games. This is great to see, and as well as having an enjoyable theme, you also know you are getting a good deal.

Bets on this game can range from a minimum of 0.20 up to 500, which shows that it is a game that caters for bigger staking players.

The classic card symbols from 9 to A are the base symbols on this slot, they are the ones you will see most regularly and offer the smallest payouts. While these are not the best to take advantage of, it is always worth knowing about them and the order in which they run to understand the game properly.

Symbols

Moving onto the bigger symbols and there is plenty to look out for here, this is where the retro symbols also come into play.

Those such as BAR, 7 and X are all part of this game, they are the next tier, they provide you with regular wins but these are bigger than the base card symbols on offer. These are a nice touch on the game and will certainly hit home with older players who remember the old-style slot machines.

Then we have the main symbols to look out for. First up is the diamonds symbol, which acts as the wild on this slot. This means that the diamond will change to make up any winning lines on the board, with the exception of changing into the scatter.

As for the scatter, as you would expect from a game based around a bank robbery and opening the safe, this symbol is a golden safe. Four of these on the screen will take you into the bonus game to win the jackpot, which is based around free spins and is something that we will talk more about later.

This slot has cascading symbols on the board, so if you get a winning line then the symbols from that line will disappear and be replaced by new symbols, which could give you another win and there are no limits to this.

Something else to look out for is the mystery symbol, a feature that we see in many of the Megaways games created by Blueprint Gaming. These will fall onto the reels and when they are revealed, each one will be the same so if you have a lot of these together, the chances of stringing together winning lines are good.

Bonus Game & Jackpot

Reaching the bonus game on this slot is done by collecting scatter symbols on the board. Get four on the board together to find your way into the free spins bonus game, with your chance to win the jackpot.

You begin with 12 free spins on this game and get an additional five for every extra scatter you hit, both in your initial spin and during the free spins. There is also a cool option to re-trigger the entire feature, this is done by hitting four or more scatters during the free spins round.

There is a multiplier attached to winnings when playing this round, and there is no limit on it. For every win you receive, the multiplier will rise by one. The key to taking advantage of this is to try and make this game last for as long as possible.

Mobile Compatibility

The great news for those who don’t wish to be stuck at their desktop playing casino games is that there are three different ways in which you can play this slot.

Alongside desktop gaming, Blueprint have made sure their game is perfectly adaptable to the smaller screens of both tablets and smartphones. This means those who want to game on the go can do so with this game, whether you are out with friends, on the commute to work or somewhere else.

Verdict

The Bar X Safecracker Megaways title is a very standard looking Megaways game. You will find some features to take advantage of, including the free spins bonus game that is on offer.

What the game has done well is not divert away too much, so if you’ve played any of the other Megaways titles before, you should have no problem in finding your feet with this one.

The theme will appeal to many too, the thrill of trying to steal money and crack the code of the safe is something that many will enjoy. Overall, this is another strong game from Blueprint Gaming, and another excellent theme for Megaways players to enjoy.
