Oink Bankin': Slot Overview

Ah, pigs and banking, a popular combination found in the slot biz, possibly providing evidence of what a portion of the population thinks of our modern banking industry. That is, of a bunch of greedy, trough-hogging swine gorging themselves at the globalist gangbang at everyone else's expense, happy to see the world burn for the sake of short-term profit. Or something like that. Without further ado, let's trot on over to check out Oink Bankin', an online slot from Games Global studio Foxium.

Oink Bankin' is based around someone getting their hands on loot in a wholly illegal way - by stealing. It's been cutely done, so the bank robber is one of those chaps who wears a black mask over their eyes (as if that would do much to hide their identity), a beanie, and a black and white striped top. So, you know, Oink Bankin' presents a humorous side of crime rather than a raw, gritty, painful one. Foxium has come up with some pretty good-looking slots in the past. Cossacks The Wild Hunt is one which comes to mind, but Oink Bankin' isn't at that level by a long shot. Not trying to be mean, but Oink Bankin' looks like a pretty run-of-the-mill pig bank game, with a couple of low-thrill jackpot prizes stashed on one side of the screen.

One point of interest is Oink Bankin's gaming area, as it's got a 5x3, 20 payline reel set where the regular pay symbols hit and an Extra Reel at the top where special symbols may appear. The top reel is not used for payline wins, which occur when at least 3 matching pay symbols land left to right from the leftmost reel on the bottom reel set. With its medium volatility, on the 96.23% RTP version of Oink Bankin', hits occur at a rate of 24.14%, and bets of 20 c to $/€25 may be placed.

Images of bank robbing and card royals are Oink Bankin's pay symbols. They include 10 to A as the lows, then a bag of coins, banknotes, gold bars, gems, and a robber symbol as the highs. Hitting a 5 OAK winning combination awards 3 to 5 times the bet for the royals or 7.5 to 20 times the bet for the high pays. When wild symbols appear on the grid they are able to substitute any regular pay symbol. A line of 5 wilds is worth 20 times the bet.

Oink Bankin': Slot Features

Stashed away in Oink Bankin's vault of features are Coin symbol prizes, a Walking Wild feature, the Oink Bankin' Rush, and Boom Bang!

Coin Collect

Coin symbols award cash prizes when a Collect Vault symbol appears on the Extra Reel to collect their values. The total amount awarded is the sum of Coin rewards times the number of Collect Vault symbols. The Mini, Minor, Major, and Grand Jackpots award 25x 100x, 500x, or 2,000x the bet, respectively.

Walking Wild Feature

The Piggy may randomly appear on the Extra reel, bringing Oink symbols. Landing an Oink symbol on the Extra Reel triggers the Walking Wild feature by turning all positions on the reel below it wild. The Walking Wild moves one reel position to the left on each spin, and Walking Wild spins are free. Landing an Oink symbol on the Extra Reel above a Walking Wild increases the win multiplier by +1 up to a maximum of 5. The feature ends when the Walking Wild reaches the leftmost reel and disappears. Collect Vault and Coin symbols do not appear during the Walking Wild feature.

Oink Bankin' Rush

Landing an Oink symbol on the Extra Reel increases the Oink Bankin' Rush Meter. The bet level does not affect the Meter. Filling the Meter with 12 Oink symbols starts the Oink Bankin' Rush mode, and any extra Oink symbols are saved on the Meter. In the Oink Bankin' Rush, there are better chances for Coin Collects and Walking Wilds, but Oink symbols cannot be collected during it. The Walking Wild feature turns at least 2 rightmost reels into wild reels when triggered, and the Oink Bankin' Rush ends when the Walking Wild feature is over. Collect Vault, Coins, and Oink symbols do not appear during the Walking Wild feature. Oink Bankin' Rush spins are paid spins, except for Walking Wild spins.

Boom Bang!

Boom Bang! may trigger on any spin. When it does, the Robber swings over the screen and detonates dynamite, shuffling the reels to create winning combinations.

Oink Bankin': Slot Verdict

If Oink Bankin' seems familiar, it might not be just because of the commonplace piggies, banking, and robber tropes. It could be because you've seen Foxium's alien embryo slot Agnes Mission Wild Lab before, which Oink Bankin' appears to be a clone of. Same features, same stats, just totally different subject matter, and of the two, Oink Bankin's is by far the least interesting. Agnes Mission Wild Lab might not have provided the most exciting features or gameplay, but its futuristic setting, like a bunch of unscrupulous scientists doing questionably unethical things with alien life forms or genetically modified biomaterial, gripped the imagination a lot harder than pigs, banks, and robbers did, which you know, is common slot stuff.

So common as to make Oink Bankin' pretty so-so to review from start to finish. On the positive side, Oink Bankin' does possess winning potential of up to 10,000x the bet, which is kinda surprising given the value of the Grand Jackpot prize. Since the Grand Jackpot clocks in at 'just' 2,000x, players might well need a significant number of Walking Wilds jostling about the game board to go beyond that figure. Other positives are the overall happy-go-lucky cat burglar vibe, but the graphics are a little thin, somewhat generic, especially compared to the Agnes slot, and the second time around the block is often less of an adrenal rush by default.

If you're dead set on robbing every bank in town (virtually, in a make-believe slot world), then there could be delights in Oink Bankin' to sample. Otherwise, it's a bit like hitting a small regional banking branch rather than planning a monumentally audacious heist to drain Fort Knox of its gold bullion.
