Ruff Heist: Slot Overview
Ruff Heist is a 5x3, 10-payline slot from Play'n GO with a British street setup in the base game and a vault backdrop in Free Spins. The key idea is simple, chat, collect Diamond Cash values with three different dog collectors, then build through a trail in the bonus. I like that it has a clear identity, even if the base setup is old-school and not exactly busy.
Symbols and Payouts
Badge, T-Bone and Archie are the special symbols to watch. They are wilds, they substitute for regular symbols, and they also trigger the collect mechanic when Diamond Cash symbols are on screen. Fat Cat is the scatter and triggers Free Spins with 3, 4 or 5 scatters.
Low symbols are the card ranks, or collar tags in one review, and 5 of a kind pays up to 10x bet. The premium set includes the neck collar, pocket watch, piggy bank or cat, plus the golden egg at the top end, worth up to 200x for 5 of a kind, and it can pay from 2 on a line. Diamond Cash symbols also have regular line wins and carry collect values from 2x up to 5000x bet.

Ruff Heist: Slot Features
Landing a Dog Collect symbol with Diamond Cash symbols active starts the Dog Collect feature. Badge collects all visible values. T-Bone upgrades every Diamond Cash value before collecting. Archie does the same, then the collection can repeat 1 to 5 times. In the base game, collectors only land on reel 5, which does limit the tempo a bit.
Free spins start from 3, 4 or 5 scatters for 10, 15 or 20 spins. During the feature, Dog Collect symbols can land on all five reels, and each one lights a position on the free spins trail. Every fourth position upgrades the current collector, Badge to T-Bone to Archie, and adds 10 extra free spins. That gives the bonus round a nice sense of progress, which I think works well on stream.
Each free spin also adds a random 1x, 2x, 5x or 10x bet value to the Cash Vault. If the trail is completed and no spins remain, the vault pays out. If the trail is completed early, the vault keeps building until the feature ends. That is the part I would be watching most with viewers, because it gives the round a proper target.
Bonus Buy Options
A Dog Collect symbol landing with Diamond Cash symbols collects their visible values. Badge collects all, T-Bone upgrades then collects, and Archie upgrades then may collect 1 to 5 times.
Triggered by 3, 4 or 5 scatters for 10, 15 or 20 free spins. Dog Collect symbols can land on all reels, advance the trail, award +10 spins at every fourth position, and upgrade the active collector.
During free spins, a random value of 1x, 2x, 5x or 10x bet is added each spin to the Cash Vault. Reaching the end of the trail awards the vault total, and it can keep growing if the trail is completed early.
