Reel Crime: Art Heist Slot Machine
If you've ever dreamed of pulling off the perfect art heist and living-off the profit, then it's time to join renowned art thieves Raoul and Remy Bouchard in Paris as they try and steal 1 of 4 masterpieces from the Louvre.
This fun slot from Rival Gaming is one of their iSlots, and is also a sequel to the popular Reel Crime 1: Bank Heist. The game follows a similar pattern with a progressive storyline taking you through the various stages of pulling off a crime, including planning which masterpiece to steal, collecting all the required equipment, getting away with the loot, fencing the loot, and eluding the local police.
The Louvre
The walls of the Louvre have been incorporated inside the 5-reels of the slot, and there are works of art all over the 15 pay-lines. The paintings fall into 3 categories with average works of art worth up to 100 coins for lining-up 3 to 5 matching icons, whilst paintings such as The Thinker are worth up to 500 coins.
These first 2 categories can also benefit from the skilled strokes of the Wild Forgers who can replace one of the original icons with a forgery to help you claim more wining combos. If the forgery isn't spotted your prize will also be doubled. You can also win big by finding all 4 Wild Forgers at up to 5,000 coins.
Masterpieces
The Masterpieces, which include the world's most famous painting the Mona Lisa, are easy to spot thanks to the special velvet purple curtains they are hung in front of. Find any 4 or more matching icons anywhere on the reels of any of these masterpieces and this painting will become the target of your art heist.
3, 4 and 5 masterpiece icons will also award scatter wins of 10x, 25x and 100x your total-bet, respectively.
As you progress through the various stages of the storyline you will also get to play a variety of Bonus game rounds, which include the Painting Selection Round, the Pick Your Tools Bonus Round, the Find the Forgeries Round, and the Beach or Bastille Round. In the first 3 you will have to carefully select either what are the correct paintings or the correct tools for the job to win the biggest prizes and progress to the next stage. In the Beach or Bastille Round you will have to elude the law to celebrate with a drink on a beach in Jamaica, or fail and end-up doing hard time with a pick and shovel in the Bastille.
At any time, you may also be awarded the Robin Hood Bonus in which you get to play a variety of games for a variety of prizes. If you win the Mona Lisa Bonus you can win up to 1,000 coins.
