Staff Writer 04/21/2022 Blog No Comments 11

Quickspin is taking you on an amazing ride with High Street Heist, a five-reel, four-row video slot that benefits from 1,024 ways to win. This highly volatile game comes with an RTP of 96.29% and offers a maximum payout of 25,000x the bet.

The central attraction of the game is the unique Breaking the Glass feature, with 2 middle rows locked at the beginning of every round. Your task will be to break the glass by landing fully stacked symbols on the reels. Join a group of robbers dressed up as clowns and rob the jewelry store to pocket big payouts.

More About the Unique Reel Layout

The reels are set in a jewelry store, and the robbery has already begun. As experienced burglars, you will have to find a way to break the glass and collect all the Diamonds. As you will see for yourselves, the reels in the Quickspin title are a bit different.

The two middle rows on the grid will be completely covered with glass. All symbols appearing under the glass will not count towards payouts, and you will not be able to form payouts with symbols under the glass. To break the glass, you will have to fill reels with identical symbols.

For example, if you fill one of the reels with identical icons, the glass on that particular reel will break, and the symbols on that reel will count towards the possible winning combinations. That is not all because you also get a free respin with the unlocked reel. Respins continue until you keep landing full stacks of identical symbols on other locked reels.

Your goal is to break all the glass on all 5 reels to trigger the Heist Free Spins feature. If you fail to do so, the reels will reset, and the glass will reappear on the two middle rows.

Heist Free Spins

Clear the glass from the reel grid to trigger the Heist Free Spins feature. This will secure you 10 free spins, and you will benefit from 1,024 ways to win. During the feature, your main task will be to fill the Heist Meter. This is also achieved by landing full stacks of identical symbols on the reels. Each fully stacked reel will contribute to the Meter.

Once you fill the Meter, you will get 2 extra free spins. That is not all because the lowest-value Robber symbol will be turned into the highest-paying Diamond symbol for the remainder of the feature. Each time the Meter is filled, the same thing happens. Once all 4 Robber symbols are converted to Diamond symbols, filling up the Meter brings you 2 additional free spins and the increase of the win multiplier by 1x.

Even though you start with 10 free spins, you can get much more simply by filling the Meter. If you do not want to wait for the glass to break on all 5 reels, you can always buy the feature. It will cost you 111x the stake.

High Street Heist Visuals

As mentioned in the beginning, the reels are set in a jewelry store, and the robbery has already begun. You will see plenty of broken glass on the floor of the jewelry. The Gold Bar is used as a Wild and it will substitute for all symbols on the reels. Diamond is the top-paying icon of the game, offering 12.5x the bet for five of a kind.

You will have 4 Robbers, partners in crime, and medium-value symbols. One of them is a computer expert, while the other three are there to scare everybody away with guns. As for low-paying icons, there are five different Rings.

Rules of the Game

You do not have to be an experienced burglar in order to play High Street Heist because the rules of the game are quite simple. The Quickspin title comes with 5 reels, 4 rows, and 1,024 ways to win. Note that not all of the winning ways will be able from the start, due to the fact that you begin with two locked rows.

As you break the glass and unlock symbols, you get more winning ways, up to the maximum of 1,024 ways to win. Each spin will cost you 20 coins. However, players are able to alter the coin value. The lowest possible bet is $0.20. Punters cannot wager more than $100 per spin.

Players have two options to set the bet. The first is located beneath the reels, and the second is located on the right side of the grid. For players who like it when the machine does all the hard work, there is the Autoplay option, with up to 1,000 automatic spins. To speed the reels up a bit, use the Turbo mode, placed above the Spin button.

Payouts

When talking about payouts, players can pocket as much as 25,000x the bet per single spin. To collect such a win, punters need to trigger the Heist Free Spins feature and unlock all the reels. Also, they need to boost the win multiplier. The Diamond is the top-paying regular symbol, offering a 12.5x bet for five of a kind.

Conclusion

Quickspin is introducing a new reel layout with locked rows. Time will tell whether players will enjoy breaking the glass or will be frustrated with the fact that it is not that easy to unlock all the reels.

In our humble opinion, the game is pretty good, and it could easily become very popular among punters. We like the fact that there is the Buy option when you get tired of breaking the glass. However, the question remains whether the costs of the Buy option will be covered by the winnings in the Heist Free Spins feature.
