Dog Heist Shift ‘N’ Win Slot Review

Australian rockers AC/DC 🎸 will never be accused of being philosophers, nor will they be heralded as poets or Bob Dylan-esque social commentators. 🎤

Instead, the hard-living rockers preferred to rummage around in the gutter – my natural habitat, as you well know – to deliver unto the world such ditties as Given The Dog a Bone. 🐶🦴

She take you down easy
Going down to her knees
Going down to the devil
Down, down to ninety degrees

And the rest gets a little more graphic, so we’ll leave it at that. I’m sure she was only trying to find her contact lens…👀

But as you may have guessed, today’s game is about dogs. This is Dog Heist Shift ‘N’ Win slot from Booming Games.

Gameplay

Booming has done a stunning job with the design of this game. We find ourselves in the concrete jungle with a 5-reel grid riddled with doggy characters.

Wilds replace all symbols, with the exception of the Scatter, Collect, and Double Collect symbols. You’ll see Wilds land on reels 2 to 5.

There are 10 fixed paylines, an RTPRTP stands for “Return to Player.” The RTP describes the total bet amount that a game returns to players over millions of spins, and that figure is represented by a percentage. Table games, such as Roulette, typically have higher RTPs than many slots.

RTP needs to be considered in conjunction with a game’s volatility rate.
of 95.80%
, and a medium to high volatility rate. Despite this, you can score a payday worth $210,000. Nice! And the max multiplier is 1,400x.

Features

CASH COLLECT:

If you see symbols land with multiplier values at the same time as a Collect symbol, the multiplier value will be grabbed and paid out. If there are multiple values, their amounts will be summed up and then paid out.

In cases where a Double Collect symbol lands instead, the multiplier values will be grabbed, doubled, and then paid out.

Multiplier values could be 1x, 2x, 5x, 10x, or 20x.

SHIFT ‘N’ WIN BONUS GAME:

This feature kicks off when you land 3 Scatters on reels 1, 3, and 5.

The Scatter on reels 1 and 3 will convert to multiplier symbols with a random value. With each spin, new multipliers could land on the grid, but the existing multiplier symbols will move a position to the left until they drop off.

But the good news is that when multiplier symbols fall off, their values will be added to the total win multiplier above the reels. The round ends when the Scatter falls off reel 1; however, the feature will be extended if a new Scatter lands on reel 5.

Multiplier values in the Shift ‘n’ Win feature could be 1x, 2x, 5x, 10x, 20x, or 1,000x.

BUY BONUS:

You can gain immediate access to the Shift ‘n’ Win feature for the reasonable sum of 73x your bet.

Performance

This game requires that you pay it some attention else it will time out. That’s not a performance issue, but just something to bear in mind.

Maximum Win

You’ll have to dig deep (in your pocket) to fund the hunt for the $210,000 potential payout. That’s because the max multiplier is only 1,400x so the max bet will need to be $150 (the minimum bet is $0.10).

Conclusion

Booming has kept things super simple with Dog Heist Shift ‘N’ Win slot, but at least they’ve tied the theme into the main feature. And that makes my creative-slash-marketing side very happy. For me, the best thing about this game is the Buy Bonus with its affordable price.

Hold & Win games are a dime a dozen, but this Shift ‘N’ Win variant is a welcome break from tradition. It made me think of Robin Hood: Shifting Riches slot.

With that game, a win will see the reels shift a position and boost the active multiplier. And it also has some cool animations, so you’ve certainly got choices if these are the type of games you’re into.
