Game Overview

Casino Heists are often romanticised in Hollywood as a crime that’s almost okay to do. Sure, casino games, including slots, are designed to give the house the edge over the long haul and the casino will usually come away on top and in profit. Isn’t that what gambling is about, though? Without this edge, casinos and the games we love to play would not even exist. Besides, they’re not guaranteed to win across every session, which is why many of you will have enjoyed some big wins over the years. Well, I have another dramatic casino heist story to tell you about today, but it’s not in movie form and is instead a theme for a new slot from Pragmatic Play. Casino Heist Megaways offers up to 117,649 ways to win across a 6×7 Megaways grid setup and has a 96.50% RTP and max win of 5,000x the stake.

Opening the slot for the first time led to a few chuckles from my side, as the main character symbols on the reels look like they’re going to a fancy dress party rather than in the process of a casino heist. None of that matters, though, as I know, it’s the features you’re more interested in. You already know the Megaways mechanic powers the slot, and usually, as in this case, that means a Tumble Feature is present with winning symbols vanishing from the reels and new ones dropping in to give further chances to win. There are also multiplier wilds that can multiply symbol combination wins up to 40x and a choice of seven free spin variations to suit the preferred variance requirements of all.

Has Pragmatic Play pulled off the perfect casino heist, or did the plan fall flat on its face within the first few minutes? You’ll have to judge yourself on the Casino Heist Megaways demo slot below.

I know there have been a few, but I was surprised to see how many heist-themed free play casino slots we’ve reviewed here over the years. Admittedly, not many are specifically about casino heists, as banks are usually the go-to for this type of criminal behaviour. When looking through them, it was the Relax Gaming slot Mega Heist that jumped out at me, as I remember that one because of its unique bonus game that takes you through three heists: a Gas Station, a Nightclub, and, of course, a bank. 4ThePlayer’s 60 Second Heist is another that impressed the team here at Demoslot, so check both of those games out when you’re done reading about and playing Casino Heist Megaways.

As you’ll probably know from our reviews, the next step is to analyse the paytable offered by the slot in question. There are ten regular symbols, a wild with multipliers we’ll discuss later, and a scatter symbol. The latter provides the best standalone payout, with it able to return 100x the stake for a six-symbol combination. The best-paying premium is the Tiger-masked Character, which will pay 25x for a winning combo of six. A Cat-Eared Lady and Rhino-Hooded Muscle Man come next with max payouts of 5x the stake when either is lined up across six successive reels, and the Bird Man and Bear Girl similarly share a top return, this time of 2.5x. Onto the low pays, and the Ace and King share a max win of 1.25x, with the Queen, Jack, and Ten rounding off the paytable with returns of 1x.

You can bet from as little as €0.10 per spin up to a maximum of €100.00 per round on Casino Heist Megaways. That sounds pretty reasonable, though you might need to rob a casino or two yourself if you want to play at the maximum level for a considerable amount of time!

Casino Heist Megaways Slot Base Game & Modifiers

Dynamic reels are in play courtesy of the Megaways engine on Casino Heist Megaways that can deliver up to 117,649 ways to win across a 6×7 reel configuration. You’re credited with payouts when three or more symbols of the same type land on adjacent reels starting from the leftmost reel. Symbols involved in wins are removed as part of the Tumble Feature and replaced with new ones that fall into the spaces left behind.

Wild Multipliers

Wild symbols can appear on reels two, three, four, five, and six and hold multiplier values of 1x, 2x, 3x, 5x, 8x, 10x, 15x, 30x, and 40x. If the wild helps to create at least one winning combo, that multiplier will apply to the payouts of all symbol combinations aided by wilds throughout the spin and subsequent tumbles.

Ante Bet

You can increase your chances of triggering the above free spins feature by using the optional Ante Bet mode. This costs 25% on top of your current stake and will double the chance of landing the required scatters to trigger the feature.

Triggering the free spins bonus is the ultimate aim, and this will happen when three or more scatter symbols take their place on the reels following a spin.

Free Spins Feature

The attraction of this feature is the ability to choose the volatility of the bonus game. You can choose from six free spin variations or leave it to fate via a random mystery option.

  • 25 free spins with a 2x, 3x, or 5x wild multiplier
  • 20 free spins with a 3x, 5x, or 8x wild multiplier
  • 15 free spins with a 5x, 8x, or 10x wild multiplier
  • 13 free spins with a 8x, 10x, or 15x wild multiplier
  • 10 free spins with a 10x, 15x, or 30x wild multiplier
  • 6 free spins with a 15x, 30x, or 40x wild multiplier
  • Mystery spins and multipliers

When wild symbols help create combos during the free spins bonus, one of the multipliers of your chosen range will apply to all combos using the wild. If you’re lucky enough to land three or more scatter symbols during the bonus, you’ll retrigger the feature in the same configuration you chose for the first one.

Bonus Buy

If you’re a fan of bonus buys, you’ll be pleased to hear Casino Heist Megaways offers this feature. To utilise it, you’ll have to pay 100x your current stake, guaranteeing the scatters needed to activate the free spins bonus land on the following spin.

Pros

  • Wild multipliers step up to improve otherwise underwhelming wins
  • Plenty of free spin variations you can experiment with.

Cons

  • We’ve seen it all before, a few times now.

Casino Heist Megaways Slot Review Final Thoughts

If you’re a Pragmatic Play fan like me, you’ll probably feel like you’ve played Casino Heist Megaways before. Well, I can tell you that you have, and at least a couple of times, via the 5 Frozen Charms Megaways and 5 Lions Megaways slot games. All three are, effectively, the same slot dressed up with different themes. That’s the Pragmatic Play way, but at least you can choose which one to play based on your current mood.
