Cop the Lot Gameplay

Cop the Lot is played on a standard 5x3 reel grid, awarding payouts when you land two or more matching symbols across the 20 fixed paylines. It has a steady rhythm thanks to its medium volatility, although the different bonuses can speed the pace up if you’re lucky enough to trigger them.

This is what you could expect to receive as a payout for landing combinations of the different symbols with a £1 stake:

Symbol	2 on a payline	3 on a payline	4 on a payline	5 on a payline
Nine / Ten	0.00	0.20	1.00	5.00
Jack / Queen	0.00	0.25	1.50	7.50
King / Ace	0.00	0.50	2.50	10.00
Stack of Cash	0.00	1.00	5.00	20.00
Bags of Money	0.10	1.00	5.00	20.00
Cop the Lot logo	0.10	2.00	10.00	25.00
Super Wild TNT	0.50	10.00	100.00	500.00

It’s nice to see payouts awarded for only two matching symbols on the higher paying symbols. This can definitely make the wins feel more rewarding.

Theme and Story of the Cop the Lot Slot

Cop the Lot raises the stakes by letting you play as a robber fleeing from the police while trying to grab as much cash as you can. The slot is set against an urban landscape in the dead of night, with a brawny policeman on one side of the reels and a couple of thieves running away on the other. The bonus features feed directly into this theme, acting as fun minigames to keep things engaging.

When it comes to the symbols, the lowest paying ones are the traditional card figures, so not particularly on theme. In the middle range, though, there’s the stack of crisp dollar bills, followed by plump sacks of cash. The highest paying symbol is the Cop the Lot logo, featuring a police emblem behind the name of the slot.

There’s a small jump between the lowest paying symbols and the highest paying ones, although the increase is still relatively gradual. This is until you get to the TNT Super Wild, which is also a paying symbol and can offer up to 500x your stake.

Graphics, Sounds and Vibes

The slot’s theme is enhanced by the crisp graphics and rhythmic background music, making everything feel a lot more immersive. The character design is cartoonish and caricatured, which adds a certain charm to the slot, while the continuous theme playing in the background creates an air of intrigue.

The music intensifies during the bonus rounds, matching the pace of the mini games, which all take place in different settings. This adds depth to the slot and makes things feel ‘on the move’ narratively speaking, rather than being stuck in the same space.

I asked a fellow CasinoTopsOnline expert reviewer what they thought of the Cop the Lot slot design. Here’s what they said:

Cop the Lot Slot on Mobile

Cop the Lot is available to play on mobile in portrait and landscape modes. However, as an older game, it isn’t built on the right framework for optimised mobile play and is more user-friendly on desktop.

The layout changes a bit between landscape and portrait mode, with the spin button and bet size toggles at the bottom of the screen for easier access.

Here’s what another of our writers thought about the mobile play:

Super Wilds

The TNT Wild symbol has three functions: it serves as a paying symbol from as few as two on a payline, it substitutes for all symbols except the scatters, and it doubles the win of any matching combinations it helps complete, making it particularly rewarding.

Smash ‘n’ Grab Bonus

If you land three or more of the Safe scatter symbols anywhere on the reels, you are taken to the Smash ‘n’ Grab bonus round. This is a Deal or No Deal type of mini game where you select a safe and then pick two to be eliminated. The robbers will then offer you several spins for your safe, and it’s up to you whether you accept or risk having to take whatever is in the safe you selected. You can win a maximum of 50 free spins and these spins have added wilds and bonus symbols to make them even more rewarding.

The Usual Suspects Bonus

The Usual Suspects scatter is a police lineup of thieves – land three or more of these anywhere on the grid to unlock this bonus. The lineup expands and you must pick your suspect to reveal a multiplier up to 500x your total bet.

Cops and Robbers Bonus

Landing at least three police hat symbols on the reels triggers the Cops and Robbers mini game. The grid is replaced by a board and you must spin the dice to try and grab the cash multipliers before getting caught. If you manage to collect three keys, you’ll get to enter “Millionaire’s Row,” where you can win bigger prizes, with a maximum of 500x your bet. If you get caught, you’ll have to face the judge. If your case is dismissed, you return to the board to attempt to win more money. However, should you be found guilty, you leave the mini game with your prizes.

Jackpot King

The Jackpot King feature is Blueprint Gaming’s signature progressive jackpot network, which is attached to a wide range of titles. It can be randomly activated on any spin, taking you through to a mini game where you spin reels on a 5x3 reel grid to collect crowns for a chance to win one of the three jackpots:

• Royal Pot – Must be paid out before it reaches £3,500

• Regal Pot – Must be paid out before it reaches £35,000

• Jackpot King – progressive jackpot with no maximum limit

Cop the Lot Slot Wagering Details

Before starting your session, it’s important to understand the maths behind the game so you can set your budget and decide on your strategy. The Cop the Lot RTP is 95.55% with medium volatility, which typically translates to a steadier pace of play.

RTP and Volatility

The Cop the Lot’s volatility level means average payouts at medium frequency. When you pair that with its RTP of 95.55%, just below the industry average, huge payouts are less likely. This is something to bear in mind when setting your session budget.

Bet Sizes and Variance

The betting range starts at £0.20 per spin, making it suitable for a range of player budgets, although absolute beginners may feel more comfortable with a slot that offers a minimum stake of £0.05 or £0.10. The maximum bet depends on the age of the player, as per UKGC guidelines. Under-25s can bet up to £2 per spin, while older players can go up to £5.

Jackpots and Best Wins

Cop the Lot has a maximum payout of 50,000x your stake, which is already very rewarding compared to other online slots. However, on top of that, the game is built into the lucrative Jackpot King progressive jackpot network, meaning there is the potential for even greater payouts. Currently, the highest recorded community win excluding the jackpots is 125.8x.

Testing the Cop the Lot Slot with a £50 Bankroll

To give a comprehensive overview of what to expect when playing this slot, I tested the Cop the Lot demo on a hypothetical £50 budget, setting my stake at £1 per spin over 50 spins.

I kicked my session off with a £2.20 win on my second spin, thanks to a Super Wild, taking my balance up to £50.20. I landed another win on spin 5 of £1.50, followed by £1.20 on spin 7. Unfortunately, I then had a spell of 10 dead spins in a row before winning £2.00. From that point, wins were smaller and more evenly spaced out until spin 29, where I got four wins in a row of £0.10, £2.30, £0.20 and £0.10, taking my balance to £27.65. The Super Wilds came in handy again on my 43rd spin, leading to a payout of £6.10 followed immediately by a £2.00 win. Despite these and a handful of smaller wins across my final spins, I ended my session with a balance of £19.05, meaning I had lost £30.95.
