Packing a few more pounds looks to be a good thing in Push Gaming’s latest slot, at least for those who are willing to give it a try. Fat Banker is part of a series of games made by this firm in recent years, and while the theme appears to vary frequently, the quality remains consistent. They don’t let you down and manage to pack quite a punch with the slot’s highest payout, as you’ll see.
With 6×6 reels spinning, Fat Banker has a vast gaming area, but there are also 50 active lines. Wins of up to 25,000x the stake could be paid out if the slot’s full resources are used. The highest RTP is 96.43 percent. Along with the free spins, you’ll find Fortune Link, Gold Car, and Red Car features.
Prizes and Betting
Fat Banker will not be less pricey or more expensive than most other slots available now. The average betting range is $0.10 to $100, and you can choose any stake that appeals to you.
Fat Banker, like many of its extremely volatile competitors, has the potential to pay out a large sum. You could bet one round and win up to 25,000x your stake, and that’s only the outcome of its finest spins.
One of the things to keep an eye on is the RTP, since there are around five different ones available to operators. The highest is 96.43 percent, while the lowest is 95.44 percent. All of the others are far too low to consider.
Features of the Fat Banker Slot
The first wild is the Money Bag, which can be used as a substitute or to make combinations that pay up to 40x for a full line of wilds. It could apply a multiplier of up to 5x to winners at random. During regular spins, it appears on the final five reels, and during free spins, it appears on all reels.
For the free spins, there is a second form of the wild. The Fat Banker will be the wild here, as it is a high-paying symbol that may also be used as a substitution. It pays up to 40 times the stake for high rollers and up to 20 times for regulars.
A Collect mechanic is used, in which a 6th reel symbol collects all winnings of up to 100x displayed on Bullion symbols on reels 1-5. These gathered awards can sometimes be multiplied by up to 100x.
Red Car is a feature that will appear at random during spins with feature symbols already on the reels. It will then provide you with extra feature symbols.
Another random car is the Gold Car, which appears only during Fortune Link or free spins. During free spins, it will provide you more wilds, or multipliers/cash symbols for the Fortune Link.
Safe symbols in a blue-colored frame are used to access Fortune Link (a Hot Spot). You enter the Fortune Link spins if there are cash icons showing at the time. It’ll remind you of Hold & Win respins, but you’ll only get two initial spins, which can be reset if additional multipliers and cash symbols appear. Finally, you gather all awards, add any multipliers, and claim your winnings.
Free spins are triggered when a Fat Banker symbol appears on the first reel and wild symbols appear elsewhere in the gaming area. You’ll need wilds to appear on the reels during the next five rounds to get more free spins and make the Fat Banker even fatter. Multipliers associated with the wilds will also be collected.
- 5 wilds are required for 2×2 Fat Banker, which adds 3 extra spins.
- 4 wilds are required for 3×3 Fat Banker, giving you additional 3 spins.
- 4×4 Fat Banker requires four wilds, plus two extra spins.
- After three additional wilds, the 5×5 Fat Banker appears, giving you two extra spins.
- After three final wilds, the 6×6 Fat Banker appears, and you get one extra spin with the Fat Banker covering all spots.
Design & Theme
It’ll be a slot machine with a wide game area packed with a combination of card suit icons and more fitting pictures. The visual design is decent, cartoon-like, and exactly what you’d need. Images of cigars, hats, little dogs, a redhead, the Fat Banker, and the different feature triggers serve as the main icons.
Conclusion
Fat Banker isn’t a bad game by any stretch of the imagination. Push Gaming has managed to produce something intriguing once again, this time a highly volatile slot with enormous payouts and presumably a high RTP (shop around until you find a version with an acceptable RTP).
