3oaks has been known for their Hold and Win slots for so long that we’ve almost overlooked their ability to release a game without this feature. However, Big Heist, which does not offer any Hold and Win features, is an example of such a game. The game does have a unique take on collectable symbols, making it not entirely conventional. Let’s delve deeper into this 5×3 slot with 10 fixed paylines.
Big Heist’s theme is rather straightforward, featuring robbers attempting to steal jewelry and police trying to apprehend them. The graphics are not exceptional, but they are of a good quality, with no rough edges. Overall, Big Heist is pleasant to look at, though it does not introduce anything particularly new.
The game has a high volatility level, but there is no official information on its jackpot. The game can be enjoyed for stakes ranging from £0.10 to £30 per spin. The theoretical RTP of Big Heist is 95.54%, which is slightly below the current industry average.
The paytable of Big Heist offers 10 pay symbols, equally divided into 5 low-paying and 5 high-paying symbols. The low-paying symbols are card ranks from Tens to Aces and all have the same payout values. High-paying symbols include thematic symbols like coins, dogs, cops, ladies, and gentlemen. The gentlemen symbols pay the most, offering 200x your bet for a five-of-a-kind combination.
Big Heist features Safe Scatters as special symbols, and the coin symbols also play a special role in certain situations. The coin symbols act as Money symbols and always come with random values that can be obtained during free spins.
To trigger the Free Spins feature, you need to land 3, 4, or 5 Safe Scatters, which will give you 10, 12, or 15 free spins, respectively. During these spins, you can land unique Collect and Super Collect symbols, which automatically collect all values from all Money symbols in view.
3oaks has chosen to deviate from their classic Hold and Win feature with Big Heist, resulting in a fun cops and robbers slot with an interesting free spins feature. The game’s only drawback is its below-average RTP of 95.54%, which is unfortunately typical of 3oaks slots.
