Banker’s Gold Epic X (Blueprint) Slot Demo & Review

The banking slot theme returns, which means we’re once again reminded of the enormous wealth these institutions have amassed. This time, it is the turn of Lucksome Games to take us into the sacred vault, and I have to say the bank used as a backdrop in the Banker’s Gold Epic X slot is one of the fanciest I’ve seen. With its high ceilings, giant pillars, chandeliers, colossal doors, and gold trim, these guys are obviously making good use of the money people have deposited. The question is, will Banker’s Gold Epic X prove a good investment for our money? The slot has 5 reels, 4 rows, 1,024 Ways to Win, a 94.03% RTP, and a max win of 5,000x the stake.

On the face of it, those core stats suggest otherwise, but I’m not the type to jump to conclusions too early on. The slot has quite a few features that could improve your winning potential, such as Banker’s Multipliers that increase the more you bet, Super Vaults above the reels that can create Walking Wilds, and Special Vault symbols that can create regular wilds or wild symbols holding cash prizes or multipliers. Then, there is a free spins bonus with Silver and Gold vaults, which can reveal even bigger rewards. The big selling point, however, is a progressive Epic X free spins bonus with a win multiplier that increases as players spin and contribute a small percentage from their bets.

Would you trust this bank with your money, or would you be better off emptying your account and looking for a more sound investment? At least, with the Banker’s Gold Epic X demo slot below, you can play without risking your hard earned money.

Banker’s Gold Slot Theme, Stakes, Pays & Symbols

Banker's Gold Slot Paytable

Some themes seem a natural fit for slot games, and wads of cash, gold bars, and big vaults filled with loot usually prove popular with players. There are countless slots with bank themes, many of which we’ve reviewed here, such as Push Gaming’s Fat Banker, which has a tantalising maximum win of 25,000x the stake. That slot is one of the more popular in this genre, mainly down to that top potential win and a host of bonus features, but other recommendations worth taking a look at are SG Gaming’s Action Bank Plus and Microgaming’s Break Da Bank Again Megaways, which has up to 117,649 ways to win and potential wins that reach over a staggering 40,000x the bet.

As we’re talking money here, it makes sense to look at what the symbols can deliver regarding payouts. The Walking Wild symbol, something I’ll get into more detail about later, promises the best rewards with 15x for a five symbol combo. The Bank is next returning 6x, with the Bag of Coins, Cheques, and Wads of Cash wrapping up the premium section with rewards of 3x, 2x, and 1x, respectively. Finishing up, we have the low pays, where the Ace, King, Queen, and Jack will all return 0.5x for a completed line of five.

You can spin the reels on Banker’s Gold for as little as €0.20, with the maximum price to play reaching as much as €50.00. However, as you’ll find out shortly, how much you stake affects the value of the Banker’s multipliers that can come your way.


Banker’s Gold Slot Base Game

Banker’s Gold Epic X is played across a 5-reel and 4-row reel configuration that offers 1,024 ways to win. Aside from the Wild and Bank symbols, which require two or more, you’ll need three or more matching symbols on consecutive reels to create a winning combination.


Banker’s Multipliers

On any random spin, a multiplier value can appear above the reels that will apply to any wins. The range of possible multiplier values will depend on your current spin bet.

  • From €0.20 to €2.00 per spin (1x to 3x)
  • €3.00 per spin (2x to 4x)
  • From €5.00 to €6.00 per spin (3x to 7x)
  • €8.00 per spin (5x to 11x)
  • €10.00 per spin (6x to 12x)
  • €15.00 per spin (8x to 16x)
  • €25.00 per spin (15x to 23x)
  • €50.00 per spin (20x to 70x)

Walking Wilds & Nudges

If the Super Vault opens to reveal a Gold Bar, it will drop onto a random position on the reel below and transform into a Walking Wild symbol. On each new spin, the Walking Wild will drop one position down until it falls off the bottom of the reels. As you’ve probably guessed, Walking Wilds will substitute for all regular symbols when winning combinations can be formed. If a Special Symbol lands in the same position as a Walking Wild, it will nudge it up one position on the reels.


Super Vaults

Above each reel, Super Vaults can randomly open to reveal Walking Wilds or scatter symbols.


Special Vaults

If Special Vault Symbols appear on the reels below a Walking Wild, they will transform into wilds, wilds with a cash prize, or in the free spins bonus, wilds with a multiplier.


Banker’s Gold Slot Bonus Features

It’s possible for scatter symbols to land on the reels naturally or via the Super Vaults above them, and if three or more appear, you’ll trigger a free spins bonus game.

Free Spins Feature

For 3 triggering scatter symbols, you’ll receive 10 free spins, while 4, 5, and 6 give you 15, 20, and 25, respectively. The free spins play out similarly to spins during the base game, but there’s a chance to land Silver and Gold Special Vault symbols that offer bigger rewards than the regular vaults.


Epic X Free Spins

Funded by a portion of all player’s stakes when playing the Banker’s Gold Epic X slot, this bonus can trigger randomly on any base game spin. To the left of the reels, you’ll see a meter tracking the current spins and their win multipliers for the Bronze, Silver, and Gold variations of this bonus. You’ll receive the combination of the level that triggers on your spin. Once the bonus is finished, the meter is reset to its default value.


Pros

  • The progressive free spins bonus game is an interesting twist, as wagers from all players will contribute to the win multipliers you can receive.

Cons

  • A 5,000x max win is hardly convincing these days.

Banker's Gold Slot Review Final Thoughts

I wasn’t sure what to expect from Banker’s Gold Epic X, as I’ve not played too many slots from Lucksome, but I was pleasantly surprised. There’s plenty going on with the Super Vaults, Walking Wilds, and Multipliers during the base game and all the above carry over into the free spins bonus, albeit with better rewards. Then, of course, there’s the progressive free spins bonus that could deliver huge win multipliers. I’d certainly recommend you at least give this slot a try.
