Reel Banks Slot Review 2024
Get ready to enter the heart of of a busy bank where Gold, Money and lucky sevens await, in Reel Banks courtesy of Pragmatic Play!
The Bank theme is well established in the world of slots. Money and Slots go hand in hand after all, but will it stand out among the greats that come to mind, like Break Da Bank?
Reel Banks looks as packed full of cash as you’d expect a bank to be, but will it pay? and is it ‘Cash Money’ as the cool kids would say.
Reel Banks Base Game and Features
Reel Banks is a 5 reel slot with 25 fixed paylines. Winning combinations are formed when 3 or more of the same symbols land from left to right, starting from the left-most reel.
The minimum bet available to players is £/€0.25 per spin and the maximum bet available is £/€125 per spin, with plenty more options in between the two. Reel Banks has a theoretical RTP of 96.04% and a max win cap of 5,000x.
In terms of symbols, the highest paying regular symbol here is Male Character, followed by Gold Bars, Cash, a Purse and the Number 7. Low-paying symbols fall to Spades, Clubs, Hearts and Diamonds. Wilds substitute for all other symbols except Money and Collect symbols.

Reel Banks: Our Verdict
Is Reel Banks the new go to Pragmatic Game? Not really.
As we’ve said before, their release schedule is rather hectic compared to others and they seemingly put quantity ahead of quality…,sometimes anyway. Reel Banks has all the makings of an entertaining slot, but none of the makings of a legendary slot.
The collect feature seems to be one of the more boring slot features, doesn’t it? It doesn’t quite evoke the same sense of excitement as Sticky Wilds, but it does have a few staple features that makes it worth a go, and decent win potential at 5,000x as a maximum win.
Enough is going on to make you feel excited when you get to the bonus round, but it’s not quite as noteworthy as others in the Pragmatic Catalogue.
It’s the sort of slot that you’ll try out if you see it in the ‘new’ section of your casino, but your impression of it will rest entirely on how it performs. Its visuals, theme and soundtrack doesn’t really give a lasting impression, but given the chance it can be decent.
