Cash Bandits 3 Slot Breaks the Bank Again: Vault Codes, 390 Free Spins and a 55 000× Jackpot Lure SA Spinners.

Cash Bandits 3 Review

Real Time Gaming’s Cash Bandits series has built a loyal following, but the third chapter has truly blown the vault doors off.

Cash Bandits 3 has clocked over a billion spins across South African casinos, according to new figures from Betfred – making it RTG’s most-played slot in the last 18 months, finally overtaking long-time favourite Cleopatra’s Gold.

Fast Facts

Reels / lines: 5 × 3 grid – 25 fixed paylines
RTP: 96.5 percent (audited May 2025)
Volatility: High, swinging between long droughts and break-the-safe blows
Bonus hook: Crack a three-digit vault code to earn up to 390 free spins at a permanent 5× multiplier
Max payout: 55 000× stake – a R5 spin theoretically touches R275 000

How the vault heist works

Land three or more scattered vault symbols to trigger the keypad mini-game.
Players see a digital safe sporting three dials.
For every scatter on the triggering spin, one attempt appears.
Correct digits award free spins and incremental multipliers.
A perfect code slaps on the full five-times boost for the entire spin batch.

Responsible bankroll angles

Wins are heavily weighted toward the free spin feature. To stay in the game long enough to trigger it:

Budget at least 150 base spins per session.
A 50c stake means a R75 cushion.
Short sessions can end cold – and fast.

Verdict for SA players

Cash Bandits 3 isn’t for the impatient. The bonus game can take time to hit, but when it does, it delivers some of the most explosive free-spin potential on the market.

For South African players betting in ZAR, it’s a thrilling mix of risk and reward, topped with sharp mobile performance and iconic franchise flair.
