What is hidden behind these bank safes? This slot uses a familiar bank/riches theme. The game background looks to be set inside a banking building, with a massive bank vault on the right side. The left side has a trolley, with containers filled with riches such as gold bars and stacks of bank notes. The building interior is well detailed, with metal railings above for the second floor and sleek floors and walls. The reel border is steel, with engravings and gold accents on both the top corners. Low paying symbols are the typical card suits, with vibrant colours used. Premium symbols are expensive items such as golden bars, stacks of cash and purses filled with golden coins.

There is nothing that really stands out visually with this game, except the colours used for the symbols artwork.
