The Vault

Get ready to become a reel thief on the slot from Snowborn Games powered by Microgaming’s Quickfire platform. The Vault will see you joining the famed burglar Jewel on a highly volatile reel heist through the intriguing city of Paris as she tries to get her hands on the world’s largest diamond, “The Pink Dawn”. Trigger the free spins with a sticky wild reel and a progressive multiplier to bring her closer to the coveted gem. The best reel thieves will be rewarded with wins of up to 5,000 times their bet.

Slot Details

The Vault is a video slot with five reels, three rows and 20 fixed pay lines. Wins are awarded for three to five matching symbols on a line from left to right only. You can turn yourself into a reel thief on desktop or mobile from 0.20 to 20 credits per spin. The game has maximum volatility (5/5) with an RTP of 96.00%.

The dark halls of the art gallery in the heart of Paris with the vault in the distance create the suspenseful atmosphere that this slot is striving on. Jewel is waiting on the side of the reels for the next feature trigger that will give her the opportunity to enter the vault where she will attempt to retrieve the coveted diamond. An equally suspenseful soundtrack goes into dramatic crescendos on winning and teaser spins.

The pay symbols start at the low end with steel card royals from 10 through to A, awarding 8x to 20x your bet for a single five of a kind. They are followed by a pair of gold bars, a green gem in a jewellery box, a shiny diamond held in a golden frame and the famed Pink Dawn diamond. Hit five one a line to win 30x to 100x your stake. An intricate icon marked with W is the wild symbol, substituting for all regular symbols and also yielding 200x bet should five appear across the reels.

The Vault Slot Features

The gameplay on this slot strives on two items that will have the largest impact on any potential winnings. One is the unusually high line payout for a 5OAK wild and/or top symbols. That will help in keeping your balance somewhat steady as the game is highly volatile and it can take extended periods to trigger the only bonus feature.

Hitting minimum two bonus symbols on any reel will trigger a Respin to allow you to get to the five needed that will trigger the Free Spins feature. You can, of course, land five instantly in a spin. The triggering scatters are locked in place and the other reels respin once to potentially land more scatters. Do that and the process is repeated until you either have one on all five reels or no further appear on a respin.

Having five scatters in view will get you 10 free spins with an x3 starting multiplier. Before the start of the feature, 1+ and 1x symbols are added to the reels and any landing on a free spin will award +1 free spin and increase the win multiplier by x1 respectively, no limits. Throughout the free spins, reel three will turn into a locked wild reel, providing more chances to score big wins.

Final Verdict

Respect must go to the folks at Snowborn Games. The Vault is for a debut a well-designed and entertaining slot. They perfectly build the gameplay around the storyline of Jewel attempting to get her hands onto the coveted diamond. The base game can be somewhat tedious at times as with all other games that are focused on a single bonus feature but The Vault makes up for the wait with a free spins round that can lead to wins of up to 5,000 times your bet.
