Easter Heist Slot Review

We mentioned Easter Heist in our Book of Kemet review, in which we said that we could analyze this game down the road, and we have chosen to do so. Why? Easter is coming, and the online gambling landscape is now getting flooded with multiple Easter-themed slots. For example, Pragmatic Play has released Rabbit Garden, and Spinomenal came out with Book of Easter Piggy Bank, which is doing fairly well. Easter Heist from BGaming is outranking these in markets like Canada and Australia, and that is why we have decided to look at it here. The slot’s masked rabbit bandit got set loose on gambling sites on March 23rd, 2023, and he seems to be winning players over. Let us find out why.

Theme & Design

Also called Resurrection Sunday and Pascha, Easter is one of the most important Christian holidays, commemorating Jesus’ resurrection from the dead. Depending on the calendar used, it gets usually celebrated a week apart in March, April, or May.

It may shock you to learn that more than sixty Easter-inspired slots exist. At the time of writing, Easter Heist is the second most popular one behind E-Force from Yggdrasil and other games from this sub-genre that many love, including Magic Eggs from Wazdan and Play’n GO’s Easter Eggs. It is worth pointing out that BGaming also has another highly-established Easter-themed game named Hello Easter. It came out in 2019 and is notable for its high RTP setting of 97%.

Visually, this game reminded us of another rabbit-featuring slot, Push Gaming’s Fat Rabbit. It has similar flat cartoony illustrations. However, the character symbols have a bit more definition and depth. The colors used here are bright and unsaturated. The setting is a farm with a windmill in the background, while the reels spin in a barn-like structure in the foreground. The soundtrack is a light banjo tune that is easy to listen to but gets interrupted by an annoying short burst of banjo-fiddling on winning combos.

We would rate the presentation here as simple, unobtrusive, and enjoyable. We are not against low-key displays, which is what we got here. And, at the bottom of the screen is the standard BGaming buttons panel, featuring the usual function setup, with the spin functions on the right and the bet/settings one on the left. It is a transparent section that adds to the demure feel of this spinner.

Specs & Gameplay

Wins in Easter Heist occur when you line up at least three identical symbols on a predefined payline on the 5×3 grid. The tokens must hit on adjacent reels, but they do not have to touch. There are twenty-five paylines in play here, and the betting range moves from $0.1 to $20. The variance of this slot is high, and its RTP is 96.14%. The max win has gotten set at x5,624. That means that when wagering the max bet, the most you can expect to win here is a prize worth $112,480.

The low-pay symbols of Easter Heist are A-J royals supplying wins of x50 for five-of-a-kind combos.

The premiums are a diamond, a piggy bank, a bag of riches, and a judgmental-looking chicken. These yield rewards of x125 to x 500 when five identical tokens from these batches show up on a payline on the same spin.

The bandit rabbit is the wild here, paying x500 for five instances of it materializing in view, and the scatter is a golden safe. You also have egg tokens that play roles in the bonus features, but more on that in the subheading below.

Let us not forget to highlight that for a price of x40 their stake, impatient gamblers can utilize the bonus buy option here.

Bonus Features

What are the bonus features of Easter Heist? Well, hitting three scatters on the first, third, and fifth reels activates ten free spins. If more scatters fall, additional on-the-house reel rotations get awarded in this round. You also have the Gold Eggs Respins. That is a mode that triggers when six or more gold eggs show up on the grid. Golden eggs carry multipliers up to x20. And when the mentioned number pops up, six respins get provided initially. If the Plus Spin chicken drops on the reels, you get an extra respin to your name. If multiple ones come up, their number gets totaled. The green egg acts as a collect symbol in the respins feature. It adds up the values of the gold ones on the screen. You attain this game’s jackpot prize if you fill the entire screen with eggs. Note that gold ones stay on the 5×3 layout for the remainder of this round.
