How to Play the Thief Slot
Thief is a thrilling adventure slot, developed by NetEnt. It has 5 reels and 25 paylines, with bets starting from 25p a spin. The reels are adorned with thief tools which your main character will need to sneak through the premises unnoticed. Wild features and free spins have the potential to create some fantastic prizes if you have a lucky landing.
This futuristic slot is set on an unsuspecting rainy evening with puddles forming on the ground behind the reels. A perfect opportunity for our main character to steal some prizes, the Thief slot has a great design and features which have a twist on the originals that you come to expect with slots.
If you enjoyed the theme of Cops n Robbers then there are some slightly more elite robbers here!
Set Your Stake
Your 25 paylines are all fixed in place with the Thief slot, so the maximum opportunities to land wins are in play with every spin.
It is then up to you how much you would like to stake against these paylines. Coin bets start from 1p per payline, meaning it’s a minimum bet of 25p a spin. You can increase this using the arrows up to £12.50 a spin from a 50p per payline bet.
If you want to step things up a notch, you can choose to increase the bet level. It should be automatically set to 1, but can be increased up to 10. This bet adds extra coins to each payline, and so the value you set it at will be multiplied by the coin bet to create your total bet.
The total bet is displayed directly beneath the spin button, which you can click to get started once you’re happy with the amount.
The Thief’s Tools
Land three or more of the symbols on a payline from left to right to win in the Thief slot game, with the biggest payouts coming if you can land five of a kind.
The highest value tool looks like some laser-lit headgear. It has red lights on it, and the maximum payout for five of these can award 500 times the coin value.
A tool upon a yellow background is the next highest in value, with up to 300 times the coin bet being awarded for the maximum match.
Five of the futuristic pink watches can pay out up to 250 times the coin bet, and you could get up to 200 times that bet for five of the green laser tools. The last of the high-value symbols is some kind of blue screen, and five of a kind will award 150 times the coin bet.
The low-value symbols are the card values from Ace to 10, with maximum prize payouts between 50 and 100 times the coin bet.
Sneaky Specials
We’ve got three key special features that can help you maximise prizes if you have some lucky landings.
Expanding Wilds
These symbols can only appear on reels 2, 3, and 4 at any point throughout the main game or free spins.
Expanding wilds can substitute for any of the standard symbols just as you would expect from usual wild symbols. The difference with these comes when they appear as part of a bet line win.
If this happens, they will expand to cover the whole reel that they have landed on.
Scatters
There are two different scatter symbols to look out for.
The standard scatter is blue, and the Adrenaline scatter is red.
Landing three of the blue ones or a mixture of blue and red ones anywhere on reels 3, 4, and 5 will activate 10 free spins!
Throughout these free spins, if you manage to land another three of the blue scatters on reels 3, 4, and 5, you could activate another 10 free spins.
Adrenaline Free Spins
This feature is activated if you manage to land three of the red scatters on reels 3, 4, and 5.
You will be awarded 10 free spins, but the symbols in play throughout these spins will change.
Only the high-value thief tools are in play, without the lower-value symbols. You could also get more red scatters and a special diamond symbol. The diamond can award you for landing just 2 of a kind, but has top payouts of 5000 times the coin bet!
Gripping Gameplay
The theme and design of the Thief slot are unique. While we have some crime-themed games such as Crime Scene, none really have this spy aspect to them, which puts this one in a league of its own.
The special features in the Thief slot are adapted variations of the classic features that we are used to, so if you prefer the slots with the usual types of features then you may well enjoy this one.
Thief has an RTP of 96.7%
