Cops N Robbers Vegas Vacation

The city of sin draws in many wealthy and influential people every year. They come to spend their money for the ultimate thrills and enjoyments, and Vegas is all too happy to provide.

With so much money in one place, it’s no surprise some ambitious thieves might try their luck at stealing it. And that’s exactly what Bert and Bonzo are trying to do in Novomatic’s latest slot!

Cops N Robbers Vegas Vacation Slot Review

Cops ‘N’ Robbers: Vegas Vacation is played on a five reel board, where each reel is three symbols tall. There are a total of 20 fixed paylines that cannot be turned on or off. In fact, that number can increase all the way to 40 paylines during one of the special features! Wins occur when three or more identical icons are collected in adjacent positions, starting with the leftmost reel. Cash prizes are only granted if winning combinations have followed one of the active paylines on the reels.

We hope you like special features, because there’s a whole heap of them! This isn’t Book of Ra Deluxe, where they expect one bonus to last you forever. Four of them are activated at random during normal gameplay, acting as nice boosts. Then, you also get four different special features by collecting enough Scatter symbols.

Theme & Symbols

When you say Vegas heist, you think of something a lot cooler than this Novomatic release. Our protagonist doesn’t have a crack team of awesome robbers with him – just his pet dog Bonzo. And instead of being chased by actual police, he’s chased off by a mere mall cop. It’s amusing just to talk about it – seeing it live is even funnier.

There are multiple background images available in this slot. You see the Vegas strip during most of your gameplay. But you also get to travel to the beach and inside a casino. You only see these locations during special features, but that’s okay. They’re a nice treat for finally landing that lucrative bonus you’ve been grinding for all this time!

Vast majority of available icons felt quite generic. You have playing card royals, made out of glowing neon sticks you see all over Vegas. There’s the sign for the US Interstate 15 road, which is commonly used to arrive to the city of sin. And your top paying symbols are just a pair of dice you toss about. Fortunately, bonus icons pick up the slack, but it’s still something we have to negatively grade.

How to Play Cops N Robbers Vegas Vacation

This game is played on a 5×3 board with 20 fixed paylines, which can go up to 40 during one of the bonuses. This Novomatic release comes with a medium variance, and a maximum jackpot worth 1000x your total stake! Gameplay revolves around triggering as many special features as often as possible. It’s a bit disorientating, but still a lot of fun.

Why is it disorientating, you might ask? Well, it’s because players are faced with so many bonuses! None of these are brand new inventions: but having all of them together like this makes it tough to pick your favorite. Not that Cops ‘N’ Robbers: Vegas Vacation allows you to choose your special features. Only lady luck can decide what you’ll win!

No coins, no problem! Novomatic’s slot not only allows gamblers to bet in raw cash, but also updates paytable values to match your bet. It’s a very small detail, but so useful when you’re trying to determine whether or not to risk it. Players can pick between €0.20 as a minimum, and €40 as a maximum.

Bonus Features

There’s a whole heap of these special features, so we’re not going to waste any time! First on the chopping block are the four randomly triggered special features.

• Dynamite Win

After a losing spin, Bert appears on the reels and blows them up. This will either grant a cash prize or trigger another bonus. He can do this more than once – but flees once the police finally arrives.

• Bert’s Going Wild

While reels are spinning, Bert runs in front of them, smacking on another Wild on the board.

• Reel Raider

Our hero swings across his vine, cloning the first reel and placing its copies on other reels.

• Bert’s Wild Giveaway

Bert adds Wilds to the fifth reel which move one position to the left with each spin. This special feature continues until the police arrive and chase him.

• Bonuses

Collect three Scatters on the first, third and fifth reel to trigger one of these four bonuses. Which special feature you get is determined by the fifth reel.

• Find Bonzo a Bone

Tell Bonzo where to dig. He will uncover bones in the sand, which grant cash prizes or upgrades the bonus. Finding a rotten fish ends the special feature early.

• Spotlight Wilds

Five free spins are played during which a spotlight adds one or more Wilds to the board. You can win other bonuses during free spins, but that will end the extra turns early.

• On the Run

Bert rolls the dice and Bonzo spins the big Vegas reel. Each dice throw has Bert and the police officer moving on the board. Bert trying to escape, and the police officer trying to catch him. If the Vegas reel lights up, you win the cash prize Bert was standing on. There are also extra dice throws to further enhance the bonus. We’ll let you find those out on your own!

• Daylight Robberies

Gamblers get an unlimited number of free spins to start with, during which Bert moves about robbing places. Each successful robbery adds bouncing Wilds that move on each reel. All wins are doubled while this special feature is going on. If Bert is caught by the officer, the ID parade bonus is played.

• ID Parade

Blue guy grants a cash prize and lets you return to free spins. The Elvis look-a-like doesn’t grant a cash prize, but still returns you to your free spins round. And if Bert is found, then the special feature ends.

Payouts

Cops ‘N’ Robbers: Vegas Vacation has a medium variance and a maximum win of 1000x on each spin. The slot’s RTP is 95.07%, which is below the current industry average.
