Bust the Mansion

Try as we might, it can be tough keeping tabs on everything going on at the Microgaming family of studios. They throw around themes, features, bonuses, and ideas like a communal pair of trousers. Everyone seems to get their turn on something, but it can be hard for outsiders to keep track. Like a meme that blows up, it's tricky to track down who came up with what in the first place. Out of this miasma of sharing and caring, Bust the Mansion was spawned to provide a hold & win game which is dependable rather than dynamic. There is unlikely to be much, if anything, players won't have seen before. Perhaps it's the combination of the low pay symbol style, basic looks and lighting, but for some reason, there was a sort of Book of Ra feel to Bust the Mansion, not to mention echoes of a bunch of other online slots of yore. As mentioned, maybe going for a retro look and feel was all part of Pulse 8's master plan. There's not much to say about the features since all are pretty standard. One irregularity is the wild money vault symbol stack in free spins, which might assist in pushing players onto the Link&Win bonus round. Once in, well, there's nothing new there either. Pile on money symbols, maybe get lucky and score a bonus prize, that's it. The jackpot for filling the reels is pretty good, so all in all, a passable though unimaginative streak respin round. If you are going to trademark a fancy name for a feature, maybe doing something fancy with it would justify the decision? And so, for a predictable hold & win type game with decent potential and old-fashioned looks, Bust the Mansion might fit the bill. However, in the grand scheme of things, Bust the Mansion does little that others weren't doing years before Pulse 8 was even founded. The studio might claim to 'show the market endless possibilities' as they put it, but Bust the Mansion hardly fits that description.
