Bustin Money Guide
by Ainsworth
This extremely high-variance slot from Ainsworth centers on three persistent safes. The gameplay is a thrilling chase for a combined bonus trigger, where opening all three safes at once unlocks a lucrative jackpot-hunting feature.
When to Play
Game Features & Mechanics
The game revolves around three persistent safes located above the reels, each storing a different feature enhancement:
- Red Safe: Stores the number of Free Games.
- Green Safe: Stores an increasing number of Ways-to-Win.
- Blue Safe: Stores a growing Win Multiplier.
When a Bustin' Money symbol lands on the reels, it flies up to a random safe. This can have one of three outcomes: it can increase the value of that safe, it can randomly trigger that safe's bonus feature, or it can do nothing.
Bonus Features:
- Individual Triggers: If a single safe is triggered, you play its feature. If the Green or Blue safes are triggered without the Red, the feature defaults to a base of 10 free games.
- Combined Triggers: The most valuable outcomes occur when multiple safes trigger at once, combining their features (e.g., a high number of free games with a large multiplier).
Jackpot Feature: The ultimate goal is to trigger all three safes simultaneously. When this happens, a special Jackpot Feature is activated for the duration of the free spins. Similar to Rich Little Piggies, you then collect special coins on the reels to win one of five jackpots, which can be won multiple times within the same bonus round. It is also possible to trigger the remaining safes during a single-safe bonus, which will then activate the jackpot feature for the rest of the spins.
What to Be Careful About
- Suggested bankroll: 750 units.
- Extreme Volatility Warning: Be prepared for massive bankroll swings. Triggering a single safe (especially Red or Green on its own) will usually result in a net loss. The significant profits in this game come from either hitting a huge line win with a large multiplier from the Blue Safe, or by triggering all three safes at once to activate the Jackpot Feature.
- Visual Trap: The safes get visually "fatter" as their values increase, but this is purely for animation. A fatter safe is not any more likely to trigger the bonus.
