Belatra breaks out Mr. Ferret Heist

(PRESS RELEASE) -- Belatra, a leading developer of innovative online slots, has released Mr. Ferret Heist. This daring bank job is set on a 5-reel cascading grid and invites players to team up with a suave little ferret who has his sights set on the heist of a century.

Wins form when five or more identical symbols connect horizontally or vertically, with winning clusters vanishing and new symbols dropping into their place. Every win turns its position into an active green cell, and the random Flashlight mode can light up extra cells before a spin begins. When the Paw symbol lands, everything inside the green cells transforms into coins, multipliers and safes. Green cells reset after each cascade sequence in the base game, but stay locked in place during Free Games and Hot Mode until the Paw arrives.

Another exciting part of the game is the loot to collect along the way. Copper, silver and gold coins carry values of up to x500, while Silver and Gold Horseshoes boost adjacent or all coin and safe values by up to x5. The Safe-Collector absorbs every visible coin value and adds them together for one bigger haul. Three jackpots are also up for grabs: MINI at x20, MEGA at x100 and MAX at x1,000. A jackpot is awarded when its symbol lands alongside the Paw, and it pays out once all other special items have finished working.

Eight Free Games will be sprung if players land three Scatters, while four Scatters unlock Hot Mode with 12 Free Games. In both cases, the triggering Scatters leave green cells behind. Two, three or four additional Scatters during the feature award extra spins, up to a maximum of 30. In Hot Mode, green cells remain locked for the whole round, so every Paw activation can set off a big chain reaction.

Mr. Ferret Heist also includes a Bet +200% option, which raises the chances of triggering Free Games and Hot Mode. If only two Scatters land, the ferret throws a stick of dynamite to clear the regular symbols, giving new symbols a chance to complete the trigger. Players who want to head straight for the vault can use the Buy Bonus to access 8 Free Games, 12 Free Games in Hot Mode, or a round with a guaranteed Paw activation, with a maximum win of x10,000.

Misha Voinich, Head of Business Development at Belatra, said: “Mr. Ferret Heist is a slick cartoon caper, and our ferret is the smoothest operator in town. Green cells, the Paw and the Safe-Collector keep every spin building towards something bigger, and with a maximum win of x10,000, this is one heist players won’t want to miss.”
