Cash Bandits 2 Bonus Buy Review

Cash Bandits 2 is one of the most recognisable slots on the RTG-powered offshore casinos we test, and a fixture of their bonus-buy lobbies. The heist theme is well-worn, but the vault-cracking bonus is what earns it a place here.

The bonus feature and buy option

The free-spins round uses a "crack the vault" mechanic — you pick numbers to open vaults, each adding spins and raising the multiplier. At the offshore casinos that support it, you can buy straight into the feature for a multiple of your stake. We set the stake first, since the buy price scales with the bet.

RTP and volatility

Cash Bandits 2 runs an RTP in the mid-90s percent range at medium-high volatility. The value is in the vault round, so buying concentrates it without altering the long-run return.

Who it suits and where to play

A dependable, familiar pick for players new to the buy. Available at Ignition, Bovada, Slots.lv and other RTG casinos in our ranking.

A closer look at the vault feature

In our testing, Cash Bandits 2 earns its place through the transparency of its bonus. The free-spins round runs on a "crack the safe" mechanic: you choose numbers to crack codes, and each opened vault adds free spins and lifts the win multiplier applied to every subsequent spin. Because you can watch the round build code by code, it's one of the clearer features to follow — and buying it simply delivers that round without the base-game wait for scatters.

How we frame the buy

The feature-buy is a fixed multiple of the stake, and it leaves the long-run return unchanged — the published feature-buy RTP tracks base play closely. We describe it to readers as a convenience: instant, known-cost access to the vault round, not a better edge. We set the stake first and size each buy as a single bet.

Volatility and who it suits

Medium-high variance, with the big sessions built on cracking several vaults to stack a high multiplier across a long run of spins. It's an excellent starter buy precisely because the mechanic is legible — players can see how the round is developing rather than trusting a black box.

Where to play it and what we check

Cash Bandits 2 is stocked across the RTG casinos we rank, including Ignition, Bovada and Slots.lv. Our pre-deposit checklist: confirm the casino allows the feature-buy with an active welcome bonus, check how buy spins count toward wagering, and set a per-session buy budget before starting.
