Play Burglin' Bob for Free

The dead of the night is your ally, the partner that nobody suspects thanks to its natural prowess; when all the owners have twisted the key in their locks, that’s when it and you strike. Clearly you’re a destructive force seeing as there’s a massive hole in the brick wall, with flames pouring out into the street, men and women screaming in fear. Looks like you’ve made a mess. Oh no, the police have spotted you and are on your tail - think fast! Dive into this alleyway quick.

No hiccup is going to deter you from getting the job done, and so it’s time to pull out the big guns and attack those 5-reels head on, no more hiding. Your face may be masked but your intent isn’t.

The robber with a stick of dynamite sticking off of his mouth (what clever company you keep) is the symbol that breaks down the bank walls with the second largest figure of the game: 4,000 credits. If you hit the wrong vault room you may end up only unlocking three of these icons and therefore be stuffing 40 credits into your sack, which isn’t exactly a sum of money that’ll generate much awe.

Even though the jackpot symbol is of course interesting - hello, cash - the wild tiger is also one you’ll want appearing in the bank. It will eliminate the weaker icons in favour of stronger ones, potentially paving a way to a secret vault because super rich people always have a stash that even their spouses don’t know about.

The alarm tile signifies free spins, so three or more will take you into a wheel of potential wins, all successful ones experiencing a x2 multiplier. One problem - these specials can’t be triggered unless they land on the second, third and fourth reels, just going that little bit further to make the game trickier. Stealth mode needs activating, pronto.

Should you avoid tripping the alarm, you can continue on to a series of safes via the Safe Bonus; three is the lucky number again, so anything less and you won’t be able to play it. Once you’ve passed the trials, several new safes will appear in front of you, willing you to open one of them. The profit can be menial or it can be massive, it just depends which secure account you decide to break into.

None of us want to plan an escape, but sometimes there’s no choice in the matter, like when the Escape Bonus drops. Thankfully the plan you’ve thought up here is a lot simpler than the ones your partners drew up, and so you only have to match three symbols within this level to get out unscaved.

In this sea of bonus symbols lurks Bob himself, sneaking a peek out of a manhole, get three of him and you enter into an intense Smash n Grab Bonus. Essentially you’ll be able to break into a number of shops, not just the bank, and pick up some multipliers for your stake as you go.

For a game consisting of 30 paylines and with only 1 credit needed on them, there are a lot of activities you get for your cash, making a larger bet feel more worthwhile. It’s also smart to increase your wager, if you can, because the wins are times by it and thus the braver you are the greater the reward. Not that burgling guarantees any victories, especially if the cops are snipping at your heels.
