The Vault

Snowborn Games sets its heist in a Parisian art gallery in The Vault, with a thief called Jewel as the lead. She is after the biggest diamond in the world, the Pink Dawn, and the game wraps her story in a dark look the studio calls Paris Noir. The 5x3 reels are transparent, so a laser-filled room and the safe at the back show through, while 20 paylines run across the grid like green security beams. A clean, modern interface handles bets from 0.20 to 20 per spin along with autoplay.

The art has a video-game feel. Ten to ace card royals make up the low pays, and a second tier of themed premiums climbs from gold bars through a diamond case and a jewel up to the pink diamond. That top symbol is worth 100x the bet for five of a kind, four times what the next symbol down returns.

Two kinds of wild exist. The regular one fills a single position and replaces anything but bonus symbols, and five in a line pay 100x. The other wild turns up only inside the Vault Bonus, where it covers the entire middle reel for the duration.

Five scatters in view crack the vault and start the Vault Bonus, which gives 10 free spins. It opens with a x3 win multiplier that rises by one each time an x1 symbol lands, and a +1 symbol adds another spin. There is no fixed cap on the number of spins that can be earned. With the default x3 in play, a line of pink diamonds is worth 300x the stake, and when the multiplier climbs higher, the ceiling of 5,000x becomes reachable.

Bonus symbols power a respin feature. When two or more land, they lock in place and the reels respin, and each further bonus symbol that arrives triggers another respin. The sequence carries on until no fresh symbol drops, unless five bonus symbols are collected, in which case the Vault Bonus is started.

The RTP is 96%, volatility is high, and the maximum win is 5,000x the stake. Expect long stretches between the features that matter, with most of the value concentrated in the Vault Bonus rather than in single base spins.
