Try to think of the role play games you’ve most commonly played when you were a kid. One of them must be cops and robbers, right? Well, if you liked this one when you were a child, you’ll probably like it now that it’s reached the virtual world of online gambling. That’s right, now you can enjoy “Cops and Robbers” slot in your favorite Net Entertainment casino and see a wholly new perspective of this old and much exploited theme.

The full title of this simple, yet rather appealing game is “Cops and Robbers – Safecracker” and it genuinely depicts the theme of this 5-reel, 20-payline video slot which features colorful graphics, familiar and authentic sounds, and all the typical cop story characters: police cars, safes, court judges, sexy girl cop, a bobby, a guard dog, and some poker symbols to complete the picture. However, as we are all interested in winning, as well, “Cops and Robbers” made sure to provide us with a number of special features. Those features are what really makes this slot competitive against today’s hi-tech video and 3D releases, as they are plentiful and they grant generous prizes.

So, in this fine new slot you can encounter a wild symbol, as much as two scatters, free spins and multipliers. With such a diversity it’s easy to win, but before you start spinning you need to select the coin denomination (from $0.02 to $10), and the number of lines you’ll play on (from 1 to 20). As usual, it’s recommendable to boost your chances by playing on all 20 lines, and the wide range of coin denominations on offer will provide enough choice for all playing preferences.

Wild Symbol:

With the boost of flashy 3D slots, which sometimes don’t have all the features we’re used to, it’s great to find a standard video slot, that awards all the usual features. One of them is wild symbol with a multiplier attached to it. Here it’s represented by a fierce guard dog, which may bring you a hefty prize if you get a combination of five of them. Otherwise, it serves to replace other regular symbols in order to form a winning combination, doubling all the prizes.

Scatter Symbol:

“Cops and Robbers” also features two types of scatters – one embodied in a safe full of prizes, which triggers a safecracker feature whenever you get 3, 4, or 5 of them anywhere on the screen. The feature will allow you to pick one of the prizes from the safe, which will be based on your bet.

As for the second scatter, presented as a police car light, 3, 4, or 5 of them on the reels award a fantastic number of 15, 25, or 100 free spins, which bring tripled prizes (except those brought by the wild symbol). In addition this feature can be retriggered, and the maximum number of free spins you can play is 210.

“Cops and Robbers” is definitely a refreshing, fun slot, whose simplicity comes as an asset, not a fault. And its occasional generosity will attract you to play for longer than you believe you could and bring you back to the days when you enjoyed this popular game in real life.
