Empty the Bank review
Empty the Bank is a heist slot. The reels sit inside a safe, and the symbols are the contents: ingots, pouches of diamonds and piles of gold coins. Pragmatic Play released it in 2021 on a 4x5 grid with 25 paylines. The one feature the studio names is a respin round, and that is where the game spends its effort.
How the game is laid out
The grid has four rows and five reels, with 25 fixed paylines. Wins are lines of matching symbols, so it follows the classic video slot format rather than clusters or ways. The studio's own description names the loot symbols and the burglar character, but publishes no paytable in the material we hold, so we do not list symbol values here.
The Respin Feature
According to Pragmatic Play, the tools of the robbery arrive during the Respin Feature. They do one of two things: they increase the number of respins, or they apply a random multiplier of up to 10x to the total bet.
The pack gives no trigger condition, no count of starting respins and no list of the other multiplier values, so those details are not covered here. What the description does establish is that the bonus pays through a multiplier on the total bet, not on a single line. Together with the 10,000x ceiling, that points to a game where the feature carries much of the upside.
Return, cost and the size of a win
Empty the Bank has a single RTP on record, 96.48%. The house edge is therefore 3.52%, which comes to $35.20 lost on average for every $1,000 wagered. Volatility is not published in our catalogue, so there is no label to quote.
Over 100 spins, the average cost is $0.70 at a $0.20 bet, $3.52 at a $1 bet and $17.60 at a $5 bet. These are long-run averages, and a short session can land well on either side.
The maximum win is 10,000 times the bet. In money that is $2,000 at $0.20, $10,000 at $1 and $50,000 at $5. A win of that size is the upper limit and not a typical outcome.
Games with similar numbers
Several Pragmatic Play releases sit close by in the catalogue. Wild West Gold from 2020 lists 96.51% with a 10,000x max win. Big Bass - Keeping it Reel (2022) and Big Bass Amazon Xtreme (2023) both show 96.07% and 10,000x, and so does Country Farming from 2023. Wild Booster, a 2021 release, has 96.47% and 5,000x, and Day of Dead has 96.49% and 4,500x.
Empty the Bank therefore offers a slightly higher RTP than the Big Bass pair and the same ceiling. Because the demo is free, the feature can be tested without a stake.
Pros
- 96.48% RTP with a 3.52% house edge
- 25 paylines on a 4x5 grid are easy to read
- Respin Feature can add respins or apply a multiplier of up to 10x to the total bet

Verdict
Empty the Bank is a straightforward line slot with one defining bonus. It returns 96.48% over the long run, which leaves a house edge of 3.52%, and it can pay up to 10,000x the bet. Volatility is not published, and the respin rules are only summarised, so the demo is the sensible place to see how the feature behaves before any stake is risked.
