In the online slot industry, we've seen games based on all kinds of different holiday traditions. The Swindle All the Way video slot by Realtime Gaming is one of those, and it's centered around a Christmas theme. Something that makes it stand out, however, is that it's based on a robbery in progress where some thieves have broken in to try to steal some presents. Unfortunately, that's something that actually happens, but RTG has put a humorous spin on the concept in this game.
Format and Layout
This is a 25-payline video slot. You have the usual layout of five reels and three rows to play with. You will see on the bottom-left that you have the ability to play with fewer than 25 paylines, but doing so will lower your return to player percentage, so we strongly recommend that you keep the number of paylines at the max. Your available bet sizes with all paylines activated range from $0.25 to $6.25, which is in line with what's normal for games from this company, and you'll be able to play for whatever stakes you're comfortable with along these lines.
Wild Robbers Symbol
You can't have a robbery theme without robbers, and they show up as the wild symbol in this slot. They do not count for the scatter symbols, which is typical, but they do appear on all five paylines. Five of a kind of this symbol gets you a 2,500x win, one of the largest in the game. Payouts of 750x and 75x are yours for four of a kind and three of a kind, respectively. You can even win a 10x prize for just two on an activated payline from left to right, provided that they wouldn't be a part of a three-of-a-kind combination that awarded a better payout.
Logo Scatter Symbol
The logo symbol for the Swindle All the Way online slot is scattered, and it also shows up on all five of the reels. Your wins for this symbol are multiplied by your total bet size, and that starts with 250x for five of the scatter located anywhere on the game's reels. This is by far the largest payout in the whole game, and it's like getting a line bet win of 6,250x. Wins of 3x and 2x are yours for four of a kind or three of a kind as well.
Free Spins Bonus Feature
Three or more of the scattered logo symbol triggers a free spins feature. You'll see that there are two robbers hiding on each of the five reels, and you get a pick on each of the reels if you got three scatters. If you activated the feature with four or five scatters, then you get two picks on each reel. The number of robbers you got combined with the number of scatters you used to trigger the feature determines your multiplier and the number of free spins you get.
This point is particularly important. With five scatters activating the feature, you can get multipliers as high as 33x with up to 60 free spins. We don't have to tell you that this is an incredibly large amount of value, and it drives the volatility up quite a bit since you'll also trigger the largest win in the entire slot with five of the scatters to activate this feature in the first place.
Important Payouts and Winning Combinations
You'll have chances to win two progressives. The minor starts at $250, and the major seeds at $1,000, and they keep getting bigger and bigger until they're won. They can be triggered on any real money spin no matter the stakes.
Five of the dog symbol gets you 2,000x, and you can make that 1,000x for five of the bag of loot. The stocking that says "Rich" across the top of it earns 500x. These three symbols all get you wins for two of a kind or more.
After that, you can pick up 250x prizes for five-of-a-kind combinations of the cookies with milk or the newspaper that has the robbers on the front of it. The A, K and Q card rank symbols all get you payouts of 150x, and you can make it 75x for five of the J, 10 or 9 on an activated payline.
Our Thoughts
We think that this game has a very high volatility because of the free spins feature combined with the top regular jackpot in the game coming from the same combination. However, the Swindle All the Way slot by Realtime Gaming gives players a theme that we can't remember having seen before, and that makes it stand out, which is difficult to do with games based around holiday themes. The feature set is pretty basic, but you'll have chances for some enormous payouts with the scatters and free spin feature.
