- A unique slot with a great design from Quickspin
- Blocked rows limit wins in base game
- Huge win potential in the free spins bonus
Quickspin have decided to go for something a bit different with Highstreet Heist. In many ways, it’s a good thing. The design is great, as you’d expect from this developer, with a unique theme that’s quite exciting. There’s a solid free spins bonus too that we’ll discuss in more detail shortly. The base game is odd though, as 2 of the 4 rows are blocked most of the time, meaning wins here are quite poor. To get one, you need a winning combination from left to right using the base symbols. These are as follows, ranked in ascending order based on their value:
- Silver Ring
- Gold Ring
- Emerald Ring
- Ruby Ring
- Pink Robber
- Green Robber
- Orange Robber
- Red Robber
- Diamond
There is also a wild symbol, substituting for all others in a winning combination.

Highstreet Heist Slot Bonuses and Features
Breaking Glass. At the start of each round, the middle 2 rows are locked, covered in glass. If you land a stack of the same symbols, then all locked positions on that reel are opened up and a respin is given. If you manage to unlock all 5 reels, the free spins bonus is triggered.
Heist Free Spins. As mentioned, this is triggered only if you managed to break the glass on all 5 reels. During the spins, the glass is already broken and you have up to 1024 ways to win. Landing stacked of symbols here will increase your heist meter by 1. This is done in stages, and each stage gives you 2 extra free spins and converts all occurrences of the current lowest-valued robber symbols into a diamond. If you convert them all, the meter gives you a +1x multiplier on all diamond symbols, as well as giving you 2 more free spins.
Bonus Buy. For a slot that’s so focused on the free spins bonus, it’s nice to have a bonus buy option that costs 111x your stake. However, this is not available in the U.K.
Conclusion
Highstreet Heist slot from Quickspin is quite an interesting game, with a fairly low-volatility base game and a high-volatility free spins bonus. You don’t get the best wins in the base game due to locked positions, and it can be frustrating to have the rows blocked. When you do trigger the bonus though, the payout potential is big at 21,160x, and it’s quite a fun bonus too. That, combined with the nice design and good theme, make this a fun slot at times, though I’m not sure it will be for everyone and it does take a bit of getting used to.
