Fat Banker Slot Review 2024
Push Gaming are taking us back to the 1920s to witness a greedy Banker stuff his pockets in their latest edition to the ‘Fat’ series, Fat Banker!
This chubby Banker will stop at nothing as he attempts to take all our hard-earned cash. The wealthier he gets, the more lavish lifestyle he enjoys, with flash cars and bags of cash that make him swell to the point of bursting! Join this jolly Banker as he explores a life of luxury and grandeur alongside his pampered Wife and Pooch, as they walk around Town like they own the place.
Push Gaming are fattening up their collection of ‘Fat’ titles with another exciting instalment, but will Fat Banker be even bigger than those before it? Nobody likes to see their wasitline expanding, but when it comes to Push Gaming’s Fat series, the bigger the better we say! We’ve seen a Fat Santa, a Fat Rabbit and a Fat Drac, now its time to see a Fat Banker in action.
Again, Push Gaming has gone for a cartoon design that looks simple yet stylish, with the background showing a quiet street named ‘Banker Street’. The background could have been a lot better in our opinion, but it doesn’t take the attention off the reel set, which has a lot more going for it.
Have you got what it takes to fatten up this greedy Banker and walk away with fuller pockets? Let’s play on and find out!

Fat Banker: Our Verdict
Fat Banker had us wondering exactly where Push Gaming were going to go with the beloved series. Fat Rabbit and Fat Santa set the tone, but Fat Drac decided to go in a somewhat different direction in an attempt to breathe new life into the series with their very first Halloween rendition.
Fat Banker certainly feels like its more consistent with those that came before Fat Drac with a more traditional approach to how the bonus worked, but it’s different in the sense that it’s the first to not theme itself upon a holiday season.
In our opinion, there was plenty going for Fat Drac, but a lot of fans felt uneasy about the departure of the big wild symbol which made the fat series so iconic. Those who consider themselves to be ‘fat purists’ will be pleased to know that Fat Banker welcomes the return of the large wild…but that’s not all. Fat Banker has more rows and reels which heightens the potential of Fat Banker and gives it the ability to grow into a 6×6 wild to contrast the previous maximum of 5×5.
This certainly sounds exciting, and it definitely is…if you can get there. Due to the huge potential of a Wild of this size, it’s predictably hard to obtain, but if you are lucky enough to fatten the banker up then you’ll certainly be seeing some fat stacks in your own balance soon enough.
All of this considered, Fat Banker still isn’t the most potential laden game of the series. That accolade still belongs to Fat Drac, which dwarfs Fat Banker’s 25,000x win potential with 50,000x capabilities.
Still though, you certainly wouldn’t turn your nose up at 25,000x even if you were a snooty money obsessed banker, so we’re not really marking Fat Banker down on its lower potential.
Overall, it feels like Fat Banker came along as a remedy for those who just didn’t think Fat Drac was synonymous with the others in the series. As well as this, the added extras that comes with the banker lifestyle just serves to enhance an already great experience.
