Play Reel Crime: Art Heist for Free

The walls of the Louvre have been incorporated inside the 5-reels of the slot, and there are works of art all over the 15 pay-lines. The paintings fall into 3 categories with average works of art worth up to 100 coins for lining-up 3 to 5 matching icons, whilst paintings such as The Thinker are worth up to 500 coins.

These first 2 categories can also benefit from the skilled strokes of the Wild Forgers who can replace one of the original icons with a forgery to help you claim more wining combos. If the forgery isn't spotted your prize will also be doubled. You can also win big by finding all 4 Wild Forgers at up to 5,000 coins.

The Masterpieces, which include the world's most famous painting the Mona Lisa, are easy to spot thanks to the special velvet purple curtains they are hung in front of. Find any 4 or more matching icons anywhere on the reels of any of these masterpieces and this painting will become the target of your art heist.

3, 4 and 5 masterpiece icons will also award scatter wins of 10x, 25x and 100x your total-bet, respectively.

In the Beach or Bastille Round you will have to elude the law to celebrate with a drink on a beach in Jamaica, or fail and end-up doing hard time with a pick and shovel in the Bastille.

At any time, you may also be awarded the Robin Hood Bonus in which you get to play a variety of games for a variety of prizes. If you win the Mona Lisa Bonus you can win up to 1,000 coins.
