ABOUT THIS SLOT
Fans of classic old-school slot machines will love the Break Da Bank video slot. Whilst the name suggests an action-packed video game with a heist narrative, in fact this one is as simple as they get, with fruit machine visuals and offering simple, fast and fun gameplay. It might seem a little dated – it originally came out in 2014 – but Break da Bank is still a hugely popular game amongst slots aficionados and Microgaming fanatics. In fact, it’s so popular that MG released a follow-up, Break Da Bank Again, in 2020.
The graphics are simple too – the reels are set up against the backdrop of a bank vault, whilst the soundtrack is reminiscent of land-based one-armed bandits. Here, it’s all about the big money – the betting range is not intended for penny punters, starting at $5 and maxed at $500 per spin.
RTP, VARIANCE AND PAYOUTS
RTP, VARIANCE AND PAYOUTS
The RTP of Break Da Bank is a little under average but still respectable, at 95.43%. And it’s important to know that this is a very high variance game. That means payouts will be irregular, with an uneven distribution. You can expect long spells with little return before a short, sharp blockbuster win sequence. In short, this game is made for those who love high risk gambling and are ready to pump big bankroll into the machine. Stay well clear if you are looking for casual slots play with small stakes! The top payout is delivered by filling all lines with wilds – 2,400x is the max per spin.
SYMBOLS AND PAYTABLE
Its all about classic slots iconography from the land-based arena in Break Da Bank – check out the Dollar Signs, which offer 32x bet for three of a kind, as well as Triple Bars, Double Bars, and Bar icons, offering 16x, 10x, and 2x times the bet for three of a kind. Land a combination of any Bar symbol on a line and you will get 1x bet.
And don’t forget that all-important wild that subs for all other icons on the reels and comes with 2x and 4x multipliers. There are no scatters as there are no free spins rounds.
GAMEPLAY AND FEATURES
Since this is a classic fruit machine there are no extra features in this game – no free spins, expanding symbols, nudges or cascading wins. Just the Logo Wilds with multipliers. This is how they work:
Land a winning combination including a single Wild, and the win will be doubled. If two Logo Wilds end up in a winning combination, the win will be quadrupled. The Wild is also the highest-paying icon of the game, and players will win 480x bet every time they land three Wilds on a single payline.
OUR VERDICT
Break Da Bank is a simple, if expensive slot to play! If you are looking for feature-packed fun and excitement with innovative design and gameplay, then you should look elsewhere, because this one is just about spinning the reels, waiting for a win to land, and action junkies will not stay long in this vault! Whilst not to everyone’s tastes, for those who love a simple bet and no-fuss, Break Da Bank is perfectly pitched. This is one of the all-time great ‘classic slots’.
