Inspired Gaming’s Cops ‘n’ Robbers series has long been popular in British gaming, and Bigger Big Money stands out as its most comprehensive online version. Featuring a cartoon-style heist theme, a progressive multiplier trail, six bonus upgrades, and a gamble feature with real edge, it offers plenty of excitement in a 5×3, 10-payline slot. Few slots make you genuinely root for a character, but here, every bonus spin has you cheering for the robber to stay ahead of the cop on the trail above the reels!
The heart of the game. Land three or more golden safe (bonus) symbols anywhere on the reels to trigger it. Three safes start the Big Money Bonus with a 1x trail multiplier, four safes deliver Super Big Money at 2x, and five give Mega Big Money at 3x. Before the bonus begins, eight golden safes appear on screen. Pick from them to reveal up to six possible upgrades, then keep picking until a safe reveals “start bonus” rather than another upgrade.
Once inside, a progressive multiplier trail runs above the reels. Robber symbols land on the reels, advancing the robber along the trail while simultaneously collecting the cash values shown on swag bag symbols. Cop symbols advance the pursuing officer. The default trail multipliers are 2x, 3x, 4x, 6x, 8x and 10x, with the first multiplier at step 6. Reach a multiplier position, and all subsequent swag bag collections are multiplied by that value. The bonus runs until the cop catches the robber.
When the robber is caught, the bonus does not necessarily end. Three characters spin, and one is selected. Bert ends the feature and awards all accumulated winnings. Sid pushes the cop back two positions on the trail, letting the bonus continue. Vic jumps the robber forward to the next multiplier, and play resumes. Two of the three outcomes keep things going, which means the ID Parade is more often a reprieve than a hard stop.
Up to six upgrades can be unlocked through the safe-picking sequence before the bonus starts. The options are Cop Freeze (the cop stays still for the first two spins that cop symbols land), Golden Robbers (special robbers that step down one position each subsequent spin, staying in play longer), Extra Swag (more swag bag symbols added to the reel set), Extra Robbers (more robber symbols), Increased Swag (bag values boosted to 50x, 100x and 200x the current bet), and Multiplier Upgrade (trail extended to a 20x top end). Unlocking the Multiplier Upgrade alongside a Cop Freeze is the combination most worth pursuing.
The van can appear at any point during the bonus or Fortune Spins. During the bonus, it can intercept a caught robber at the ID Parade, saving Bert from identification and moving him to the next multiplier instead. It can also throw dynamite onto the reels during the bonus and Fortune Spins, converting those positions into additional swag bags or robbers and triggering a cash collection.
An alternative base game toggled on via the Fortune Spins button. All regular symbols are stripped from the reels, leaving only swag bags, bonus symbols and the robber. The robber acts as both a wild and a cash collector. Any swag bag in view when a robber lands has its value collected immediately. Swag bag values range from 1x to 100x the active stake. Bonus symbols remain active, so the Big Money Bonus can still trigger from Fortune Spins. Average payback in this mode is 94.50%. A few spins on the demo will quickly confirm whether the stripped-down format suits your style.
An optional stake multiplier that increases the current bet to 1.5x. With Fortune Bet active, landing two bonus symbols anywhere in view triggers a free respin. The reels containing those bonus symbols lock in place while the remaining three respin, giving a second attempt at a third bonus symbol and a natural trigger. Line awards from the initial spin and any subsequent respins are accumulated. Useful as insurance against near-misses on the bonus trigger.
Available after any standard win, configurable to trigger on all wins, wins of 5x stake or above, or switched off entirely. Two wheels are presented. The left wheel offers the chance to increase winnings by one-third, double them or triple them. The right wheel gambles for direct entry into the Big Money, Super Big Money or Mega Big Money Bonus. The expected payback on the gamble is 100%. The maximum achievable via the right wheel is Mega Big Money, after which only the cash wheel remains active.
Four options at varying costs. Big Money costs 90x the bet and guarantees three bonus symbols. Super Big Money is 170x and guarantees four. Mega Big Money is 400x and guarantees five, starting the trail at 3x. Mystery is 130x and delivers a random number of 3 to 5 bonus symbols. All bought rounds play at the triggering bet level. Note that the bonus buy may not be available in all markets. Check the rules screen in your version of the game to confirm which options are active.
Triggers automatically if the credit balance drops below the current bet price but stays above zero. A wheel appears and the player can wager their remaining balance for one more spin at the current stake. Green segment wins, red loses. The segment sizes reflect the ratio of remaining credit to bet amount.
Five reels, three rows, ten fixed paylines paying left to right. The trail above the reels is visible throughout play, showing the cop and robber positions even between bonus triggers. It’s a constant reminder that the bonus is the destination. Standard reel play is where you build toward it. Bets run from £0.10 to £120 per spin. Free play runs identically to the real-money version, so the full bonus range, including all four buy options, is available in the demo.
Swag bag symbols behave differently to all other pay symbols. They display a cash value rather than a multiplier, and they pay in any combination of colours. A mix of red, green and yellow swag bags on a payline still triggers a win. In standard play, they pay 20x, 5x and 1x the stake for five, four and three, respectively. In Fortune Spins, those bag values become variable, ranging from 1x to 100x the active stake per bag.
The Cops ‘n’ Robbers logo pays from just two symbols on a valid payline, returning 0.50x the stake. It’s the only symbol in the game with a two-symbol pay threshold, which makes the logo and its robber wild variants more active than the headline 200x figure suggests.

Cops 'n' Robbers Bigger Big Money earns a yes. The Big Money Bonus genuinely feels like a game within a game — watching the cop and robber inch toward each other on the trail, picking safes before the round starts, hoping the ID Parade lands on Sid or Vic rather than Bert. The 94.50% RTP is the honest caveat, and a 92% variant exists on some operators.
Our very first spin produced a £23 win. The gamble prompt appeared, we took the opportunity, and the red losing segment delivered its verdict immediately. That’s this slot in one moment. It gives you reasons to take risks, and it doesn’t soften the landing when they don’t come off. The rest of the session swung between thin standard play and two very different bonus experiences that showed the full range of what the Big Money Bonus can produce.
The first natural bonus trigger was a modest affair. One safe revealed Extra Swag, the second started the bonus. The trail ran to the 2x multiplier position before the cop caught up, Bert appeared at the ID Parade, and £28 was collected. Not much, but the Getaway Van appeared mid-bonus and threw dynamite onto the reels, converting positions into swag bags and triggering a small collection. Even in a low-return round, that moment adds a welcome extra touch to the feature.
The Mega Big Money buy at 400x tells the other half of the story. Multiple upgrades came through the safes — Extra Robbers, Golden Robbers and Cop Freeze. Starting at the 4x trail position, the golden robbers kept stepping down the reels collecting swag bags while the frozen cop sat still for those critical opening spins. The multiplier climbed from 4x to 6x, then 8x, then the long push toward 10x and eventually 20x with the Multiplier Upgrade active. The robber reached the top of the trail, collected at 20x for several spins, and was eventually caught. Final return: £973.50 from a £400 investment. The upgrades made the difference. That particular combination of Cop Freeze, Golden Robbers and Multiplier Upgrade is the best-case setup the bonus can produce.
That personality is what stays with you. The Cops ‘n’ Robbers format has outlasted far flashier slots because the bonus has a beginning, a middle and an end. You don’t know how any of those will go until they happen. That’s what brings you back.
Cops ‘n’ Robbers Grand Chance, also from Inspired, shares the franchise and the cartoon aesthetic but takes a meaningfully different approach to the bonus. Grand Chance also uses a collector and a multiplier trail, the robber gathers swag bag values that build toward three multiplier checkpoints (x2, x3 and x10), with additional spins unlocked at each stage. What it doesn’t have is the cop pursuing the robber, the pre-bonus safe pick sequence, or the ID Parade. The trail in Grand Chance is a fixed progression rather than a live chase, which makes the bonus faster and more readable but considerably less dramatic. Bigger Big Money is the deeper experience. The six upgrades, the uncertainty of the ID Parade, and the Getaway Van create a bonus round that plays out differently every time and rewards patience. Grand Chance suits players who want shorter, cleaner bonus loops. Bigger Big Money is for those who want the full version.
Starting at 4x with our upgrades active. Cop Freeze keeps the officer still for the opening spins while Golden Robbers collect across multiple rows.
The x8 multiplier reached with the cop closing in, every swag bag collected from here returns 8x its displayed value.
Bonus Complete: £973.50 from the Mega Big Money buy.
