Slot Details
Break Da Bank Again Megaways is a video slot with six dynamic reels that each creates from 2 to 7 rows leading to random combinations of ways to pay, from 324 to 117,649. An additional top reel spins horizontally above reels 2, 3, 4 and 5, with wins awarded for matching two or more symbols from left to right in any position on adjacent reels, including the top reel.
Available on desktop, tablet or mobile, you can spin from 0.20 credits to 20 credits. Break Da Bank Again Megaways comes with very high volatility and a default 96.05% RTP. Microgaming slots come with variable RTP’s for casinos to select and some will choose to offer the slot in the 92% – 94% range.
Break Da Bank Again Megaways brings all the original styling, laced in gold, Megaways and high resolution. The play area, set between columns of stone with statues of lions, strengthens the money theme set in a cavernous bank vault with stacks of cash for the base game and piles of bullion for the free spins. This time, the famous vault doors themselves are golden and the sounds and music seem decades away from the original and very much improved, with funky bass guitar music and snare drums quickening to heighten the tension of a scatter tease.
The pay symbols start at the low end with 10, J, Q, K and A, awarding 0.8x to 1.5x your bet for a single six of a kind. Stacks of coins, a cheque, wads of cash and gold bullion follow, styled in keeping with the original and yielding 2x to 4x your bet for six across the reels. Lastly, purple gems represent the top symbol, paying 15x your stake for six.
Wild symbols are x5 in green, substituting for all symbols except for scatters and multiplying all wins involving them by five; they feature on the horizontal reel only in the base game and also reels 2, 3, 4 and 5 during free spins. Golden vault doors act as the scatter symbols, appearing on reels two to five only and triggering the free spins for landing three or more as well as awarding a 2x bet coin win.
Break Da Bank Again Megaways Slot Features
Break Da Bank Again Megaways is the latest in a series that debuted in 2003 as Break Da Bank; a simple 3-reel slot with just five lines, yet piqued interest from slot connoisseurs worldwide. It was followed by the equally impressive, if not better for some, Break Da Bank Again in 2008. It took until 2019 to give the franchise a Respin upgrade before now, in 2021, we see the Megaways conversion with dynamic reels. So without further ado, let’s see what this long overdue, gourmet combination of online slot history has to offer.
A basic spin uses the familiar cascading symbol mechanic with reactive wins of Megaways. Each reel selects a random number of symbols for each spin, from two to seven on reels 1 and 6 and two to six symbols for reels 2, 3, 4 and 5, with the additional top reel creating the potential seventh symbols for these reels. Winning symbols explode from the reels while existing symbols and new ones cascade down into the vacant spaces creating an opportunity for more wins. This process repeats until no more wins occur, awarding the win total at the end of the sequence.
In Break Da Bank Again Megaways landing three scatter symbols will trigger 10 free spins and four awards 15. This feature has both unlimited progressive multipliers and retriggers. For each winning cascade, the multiplier, which begins at x1, will increase by one on a potentially infinite basis and does not reset between free spins. Every Vault Scatter landing will add another spin or retrigger free spins at the same starting values for three or more. And x5 Wilds feature on reels 2, 3, 4 and 5 during the round, as well as the horizontal top reel.
Hot Mode Free Spins can be awarded at random from a four scatter trigger or purchased as a bonus buy option. This round carries the same features as standard free spins – the extra x5 Wilds on the reels and the potentially unlimited retriggers but leapfrogs the unlimited progressive multiplier starting value to x20 right from the beginning of the feature. It will again increment by x1 after every winning reaction, no limits.
Break Da Bank Again Megaways comes with a Bonus Buy feature with three options (restricted in some jurisdictions). A simple click on the button will bring up a second screen to display the choices. Once the purchase is confirmed, the features will play out in the same fashion as a standard free spins round.
- 100x Bet | RTP 96.49% – Will start a three scatter trigger with 10 free spins.
- 130x Bet | RTP 96.60% – Will start a four scatter trigger bonus of 15 free spins.
- 500x Bet | Hot Mode | RTP 96.59% – Begins with 15 free spins and a x20 starting unlimited progressive multiplier.
Final Verdict
Break Da Bank Again Megaways updates the original graphics and adds the dynamic reel version some fans have been waiting for. By making the x5 wild more available in the free spins on reels 2, 3, 4 and 5 Gameburger has retained some of the original charm of Break Da Bank. Personally, I would have liked the original dense bang sound of the scatters from the original, for a little nostalgia, but at first glance, Break Da Bank Megaways looks like a worthy successor.
