In Swindle All the Way, RTG takes the notion of a Christmas-themed slot and turns it on its head. Though the holiday season does provide the theme, players’s goal is to stop burglars from robbing homes of those away on vacation. Subtly invoking the classic movie Home Alone, this beautifully-designed slot offers a maximum win multiplier of 33x in bonus play. In this world, any good citizen is obliged to do their best to stop this criminality, and if one has to play the slots in order to do so, so much the better.
Theme
A well-appointed neighborhood on a December night provides the setting for this slot. Gaming symbols include the robbers, who act as the wild symbol, a game title symbol acting as scatter, a barking dog, the robbers’ red loot bag, a christmas stocking for a man named Rich, milk and cookies, and a newspaper announcing a jailbreak. The playing card values ranging from ace to nine provide lower-value symbols. The reels are situated around a brick house decorated for the holiday season: lights are on the trees, presents are in the snow, and a full moon shines in the background. Holiday music completes the gaming experience.
Betting Options and Functions
RTG’s latest title features 25 adjustable pay lines, with bet per line adjustable from 0.01–.25. This yields an overall per-spin bet range of 0.01–6.25 times the betting currency, which is broad enough for most players but may disappoint those interested in playing for higher stakes. Autoplay and enhanced game speed are both available. Game settings, payable information, and more are available on the right hand side of the game screen.
Features
While base play is somewhat pedestrian in Swindle All the Way, bonus play makes things very interesting indeed. The feature begins with a set of windows, some of which conceal robbers in the act. Players will have five chances to choose from one of three windows on each reel – one chance to find the robbers is given if three scatter symbols triggered the feature, but two chances are given when four of five scatter symbols are involved. Each dastardly villain discovered increases the number of free spins, the win multiplier assigned to the found, or both. Between three and a whopping 60 free games will be awarded, with a win multiplier ranging from non-existent to the massive 33x. Bonus play itself largely resembles base play, albeit with chances to greatly increased sums. The scatter symbols remain on the reels during bonus play, adding ten additional free games to the bonus should they again appear in sets of three or more.
Finally, RTG saw fit to include two progressive jackpots in this slot. Both major and minor jackpots are available, which can reach astronomical values if players are fortunate but pay a minimum of 1,000 and 250 times the betting currency, respectively. These can be won on any spin, whether or not a winning combination appears on the reels.
Our Take
In a world filled with lazily-designed slots, Swindle All the Way is a breath of fresh air. RTG’s latest is fun to play, well-designed, with unique bonus features that will keep players coming back for more. This is a highly-recommended way to bring in the holiday season.
