Action Bank Slot Machine
Slot games, in the modern age at least, could be accused of delivering style over substance in a number of cases. Luckily, that accusation can’t be made at Action Bank, which is one of the simplest slot titles around, and yet in its own way one of the most enjoyable too.
Developed by the team at Scientific Gaming subsidiary Barcrest Gaming, it’s fair to say that, visually, Action Bank has seen better days… but don’t let that put you off giving this title a go.
The classic “noughts and crosses” theme is backed by five reels and 20 paylines, plus a variety of main game symbols that are supported by those all-important scatters and wilds to help your wins advance to the next level.
With a top prize of 500x your total bet on offer, it’s no wonder so many players are queuing for a bit of bank action with Action Bank.
Action Stations
As ever, players are looking to match three or more symbols on an active payline on adjacent reels, starting from the first (left-most) reel and moving to the right. All pays are awarded as below, with the multiplier added to your stake amount to create your prize.
Action Bank contains just three main game symbols; perfect for lessening the amount of traffic on your reels and increasing your chances of a win. The first of these is the Cross, and this delivers payouts at the rate of x5 of your bet for matching three, x10 for four and x50 for a full line of five.
Next up is the slot game classic, the BAR, and this rewards players with x10, x20 and x100 for spinning three through to five. Lastly, but by no means least, is the Lucky Number 7; and you truly will be lucky if you return three (x20), four (x100) or five (x500) of these.
There are two further symbols to keep your eyes peeled for, with the wild, which here is the Joker, substituting for all other symbols apart from the scatter to help you create additional paying lines on your reels.
And then there is the scatter symbol, which is the Bank Vault. This is a particularly good one to have around, as five or more trigger the Big Bank Bonus. Here players will be awarded 5 to 30 free spins to do some damage with, plus there’s the chance to win the lucrative Ruby, Sapphire or Diamond multipliers.
Free Spin Fun
Once the Free Spins game has been triggered you will be asked to select one of five vaults, and contained within will be the amount of freebies that you will have at your disposal. You can settle for the amount you have or try to gamble these in an attempt to win more, while revealing 25 free spins offers you the chance to trigger the Big Bank Bonus.
All freebies are played at the same rate as your original triggering spin, although some of the symbols have now ‘doubled up’ and of course will be subject to a further x2 multiplier.
Want more free spins? No problem: just spin five more of the scatter symbol during a freebie and this process will repeat itself.
Big Bank Bonus
This is where the big money is to be made in Action Bank however. The Big Bank Bonus is an apt name as it offers plenty of potential for decent payouts, with a jackpot of 500x up for grabs that will certainly not go amiss.
Players are presented with 15 bank vaults, and contained within these are some glittering prizes; that’s four diamonds, five rubies and six sapphires to be precise. You will see these but in a cruel twist these will shift positions prior to you picking. The object is to pick three of the same multiplier from the available doors, and once you have achieved this then the bonus round ends and your final prize is calculated. A no lose bonus? Happy days!
And that’s the biggest thing we love about Action Bank: not many slot titles possess a bonus feature in which the player simply cannot lose. Factor in the Free Spins bonus where some tidy prizes can be accumulated and you have a recipe for slot game greatness.
