Rival: Bust a Vault General review
The game uses three reels with nine positions for symbols, and all the usual fruit machine symbols are here. Cherry is the lowest-paying symbol and you’ll get 1 coin – or your stake back – whenever you land one Cherry anywhere on your reels. Two will pay 2 coins, and you’ll get 3 coins for any combination of Cherry, Orange, and Lemon.
There are three variations of the Bar symbol, White, Blue and Red, and they pay from 5 to 25 coins depending on which ones did form your winning payline. Red Bar is the most valuable, and it pays five times better than a combination of the three Bars. Lemon pays 30 coins and that’s the last medium-paying symbol in the game, with three more high-win symbols. Orange pays 75 coins, Cherry pays 100, and the Vault pays 500 coins for three-of-a-kind. Vault is Wild and substitutes for all other symbols, and it also pays if you get two of them on your payline, you’ll get 3 coins.
There is only one pay line here, and so the only way to land three-of-a-kind is to align them on the central part of each reel. There are symbols around the central part but they don’t amount to anything. Also, it’s possible to get a blank symbol. With this in mind, it’s clear this is a high variance slot, as one would expect from a three-reel fruit machine, but the variance here borders with extreme. It’s very rare to get a three-of-a-kind win, let alone three Vaults.

Strategy and Tips to win at Bust a Vault
There’s little to do in Bust a Vault other than spin the three reels and hope for the best. Some betting strategy might be useful as it might lead to a bigger win down the line, and in any case, playing Bust a Vault is something that demands a longer playing session. It will be a while before you see a significant win in this Rival slot game, and even when you do, it won’t be life-changing. It’s a decent fruit machine for fans of the genre. The theoretical return to player (RTP) is only 94.84%, which means that playing this game is likely a losing proposition as the casino edge is just too high to justify this kind of variance.
