The Playtech Safecracker Classic Slot

Added: November 12, 2014

If you have not played the Safecracker online slot you must try it out. It is live at Playtech online casinos such as Mansion Casino and Omni Casino. It is a classic three reel single payline slot machine but boasts of a second screen bonus game and a progressive jackpot. Progressive slots are usually played with a fixed bet per spin, which online casino players may find restrictive. Playtech Safecracker has found an ingenuous solution to this. The slot game can be played in four versions with different coin denominations. There is a different progressive jackpot attached to each version that is commensurate with the coin denomination selected. You begin the game by selecting the coin denomination. The options are 25c, 50c, $1 and $5.

As would be expected, Safecracker has a bank robbery theme. The symbols on the reels are the implements used by safecrackers and include safe, crowbar, drill and dynamite. There are two special symbols. The key is the bonus symbol. You will not have to break open the safe when you get three key symbols simultaneously on the payline because this will lead you straight to the bonus game on the second screen. You will see ten safes displayed on the screen. Seven can be opened safely and contain random amounts of cash that you can win as bonuses. But three of the safes are wired to an alarm and will end the bonus game. You keep on selecting safes and collecting bonus credits till you hit one with an alarm.

The second special symbol in Playtech Safecracker is the cash symbol. You need not get three of them on the payline. The cash symbol will pay out even when one or two appear on the payline. The jackpot payout results when three cash symbols appear on the payline. If you have wagered with one or two coins you will get fixed jackpot payouts. However if you have gone for three coins and you get three cash symbols on the payline you will hit the progressive jackpot. 3% of your bet goes to the jackpot pool. You can see the ticker rise on the screen as you wager. Many three reel slot games award partial progressive jackpots. In Safecracker the entire progressive jackpot is paid to the player who hits it. This jackpot resets to the seed level of 6,000 coins for all coin denominations. The four Safecracker progressive jackpots for the different coin denominations run independently.
