40 Thieves Slot – Free Demo
Provider:
Bally Wulff
On 40 Thieves the Thief pays 20 times the stake for five on a line, and once the Amulet scatters open the Free Games it turns Wild as well. I spent 390 spins at a 2.00 stake here; the round never retriggered in five tries, and the one on spin 16 paid 372.00 of the 848.20 I won.

Forty Thieves on 40 Fixed Lines
The robber theme is a popular choice in the entertainment industry. It is often adapted into films and video games, so I'm not surprised to see Bally Wulff crank out a robber slot of its own, and merely by glancing at it, the slot doesn't seem to stand out in any specific way.
The layout is nothing out of the usual. Wins pay left to right on consecutive reels, starting from the leftmost one. It is fairly much what I've come to anticipate from Bally Wulff by now, and it ships with 5-reels, 4-rows and 40 pay lines. The paylines are fixed, so every spin plays all 40. The RTP is 96.09%, and 40 Thieves takes stakes between €0.10 and €50 per spin. I set the stake at 2.00 and played 390 spins from a 2,000.00 balance.
Thief, Horse, Lamp and Dagger
In sum there are 10 symbols in the game. Symbols can land stacked, and that includes the Wild. 8 of them are regular symbols, with Heart, Spade, Club and Diamond card suits employed as low-value symbols. The four high-value symbols pay from two in a row. The premiums are depicted by the Thief, the Horse, the Lamp and the Dagger, and the Thief, the most rewarding out of the premiums, pays you 20 times the stake for 5 across a complete payline. My biggest win without a bonus came on spin 200 and paid 45.80, 22.9 times the 2.00 stake.
Bar the scatter, the wild symbol substitutes for all symbols. The scatter is the Amulet, and it pays anywhere on the reels.
The Amulet and the Thief Wild
3, 4 or 5 Amulet scatter symbols anywhere grant 10, 15 or 50 free spins, and during the bonus, the feature does not retrigger. My first trigger came on spin 16 and awarded 15 Free Games, which paid 372.00, or 186 times the stake. The free spins feature differs from the base game in one notable way. The Thief turns into an additional wild. I triggered the Free Games five times in 390 spins, and together they paid 480.40, 58% of everything I won.
Final Minty Score: Across the session the Free Games paid 480.40, 58% of everything I won, and a single round, 15 Free Games on spin 16, paid 372.00 on its own.
A Level Line After 390 Spins
40 Thieves is an average slot at best. After any win the game offers Card Gamble, Ladder Gamble or Collect Half as an alternative to collecting it.
The returns are seldom anything to get even slightly thrilled about, though. Of my 390 spins, 144 paid, and 93 of those paid less than the 2.00 stake.
The slot does have some promise to be just, with an 8,000 times the stake max win ceiling. My longest run without a win lasted 12 spins. As a punter, however, I wish to sense the heartbeat. The balance peaked at 2,348.80 on spin 16 and never fell below 1,975.60. Regrettably, all I receive playing 40 Thieves is a level line. I finished at 2,068.20, a 108.7% return on 780.00 wagered.
