The control buttons on the main screen let you spin the reels, change your bet, open the menu, increase the spin speed, and set autoplay.
The paytable reflects the game’s theme, with symbols of wealth appearing on the reels. The low-value symbols are gleaming green card royals. 9, 10, J, Q, K, and A pay 1x your bet for five on a payline.
The high-value symbols are various treasures and currency. The ring and coins pay 2x your bet for five on a payline, the cash and gold bars pay 2.5x, and the diamond pays 5x.
The sparking wild symbol helps you land winning combos by standing in for all other symbols except Coins. If you land 5 Wilds on a payline, you will win a prize worth 10x your bet.
Area Link Bank Blast has a standard payline format. You get wins by landing three or more matching symbols on adjacent positions, starting from the leftmost reel.
Area Link Bank Blast does not have any base game features, so all the action plays out in the Hold-and-Win-style Area Link bonus.
When colourful coin symbols land on the reels, they will be collected in the matching piggy banks above them. On any spin where these Coin symbols are collected, you could trigger up to all 4 Area Link upgrades.
Area Link begins with three respins where only Gold Coin symbols or blanks can land on the grid. The Coins come with random cash prize values or one of the four fixed jackpots. The Mini, Minor, and Major jackpots will award you 10x, 20x, and 100x your bet, respectively.
Every time a new Coin symbol lands, your respins will reset to 3. Coins will become sticky when they land and stay locked in place until the feature ends when you run out of respins when all Coin values in view will be added up and awarded to you. If you fill all the positions on the grid with Coins, you will win the 5,000x Grand Jackpot.
A special green coin can land when you trigger the Green Piggy Bank Upgrade, and it will collect all cash and jackpot values in view and add them to your total. The Purple Piggy Bank Upgrade adds a second 5x3 Area Link grid to the game. Both grids will spin independently, giving you the potential to land the Grand Jackpot twice.
The Red Piggy Bank Upgrade adds a random multiplier of 2x, 3x, or 5x at the start of each respin. This multiplier will increase the value of any new Coin symbols that land. The Blue Piggy Bank Upgrade is the new Blast feature that adds a special Blue Coin to the gameplay. This coin adds its value to a random number of regular Coins. The Blue Coin’s value can be added to the same Gold Coin more than once.
The maximum possible win per spin in Area Link Bank Blast is 5,000x your bet.
RTP (Return to Player) is the theoretical statistical percentage of players’ bets that a slot is expected to return to players over the long term. This slot's RTP of 96.5% is slightly over the industry average. This is a high volatility slot, so while your winning potential is high, you might have to deal with long stretches between prizes.
Area Link Bank Blast’s theme is all about treasure, with gold coins piled up in the background and bold, shiny, money-related symbols. The soundtrack is a cheerful tune that keeps the mood light.
Free slot demos are the best way to find out whether a slot is for you and how the features and gameplay work. Demos are copies of real money slots that supply you with free credits so that you don’t have to use your bankroll.
Area Vegas is one of the newer slot developers under Games Global’s umbrella, and it produces high-quality slots with innovative features and impressive themes. We’re checking out some of Area Vegas’ best contributions and seeing how they stack up to each other.
Claim jackpot riches from a mystical golden pyramid in the Area Surge City of Gold. Mine for precious gems in Diamond Rush Express and win big with a powerful collect bonus. Bonanza Farm Rush Express lets you harvest amazing rewards with succulent veggie symbols, delivering prizes worth up to 5,000x.
Area Link Bank Blast uses a stripped-down approach and puts all the focus on the rewarding Area Link bonus. The upgrade-fuelled bonus round adds an explosive element to respins. I was especially excited to trigger the new Blast feature and the chance to hit double Grand jackpots for the slot's maximum prize.
