Action Money Pokie
They say that money makes the world go around, and wagering a little on the Action Money video pokie makes the 5 reels go around, landing cartoon bankers, traders, glamourous women and flash cars across them for some top rewards. Action Money by EGT is a fun game that treats city slickers to free spins, multipliers, scatter awards and even entry to a progressive jackpot round.
Symbols are arranged over 3 rows and there’s 20 paylines running from the left side, with players having the option to activate 1, 5, 10, 15 or all of them, although the more lines that are in play, the more winning combinations will be awarded when enough matching symbols land across them on adjacent reels.
A low limit of just 0.01 is needed to start playing, or 0.20 for all lines, but free Action Money video pokies can be played at many casinos.
Playing Action Money
Various shades of blue fill the game, from the reels themselves to the background image of the CBD where all the money trading takes place. Along the top, there’s 4 little boxes, each of which displays a progressive jackpot amount, while the control buttons are at the bottom of the game. A pay table reveals what each symbol is worth and a review of this shows credit cards, a stack of Dollar bills and a bag of coins to each pay out the same amounts when stopping on 3, 4 or 5 connected reels on an active line, while the security guard, skyscraper and sports car are each worth a little more.
A buxom receptionist will only need to land on reels 1 and 2 to be award a prize, as do the higher-value cigar-chomping banker and the big boss. The banker is also a wild symbol, so he’s able to act as any other standard icon to help create winning lines, or stretch wins across more reels which will pay out the higher prizes.

Bonus Features
Unusually, there’s two scatter symbols, both of which can lead to the Bank Feature bonus round. The Contract scatter will pay multiples of the total bet when 3, 4 or 5 land, although the actual amounts can vary within a range. The imposing Bank symbol will need to stop on reels 3, 4 and 5, which grants access to the main feature of free spins with multipliers.
Before the spins begin, players will need to pick a bank from the 5 on show to reveal how many spins they get, followed by picking an envelope which will unveil a multiplier that will be applied to any wins made during the free spins. To help get extra payouts, either the car, receptionist or boss will be an additional wild symbol throughout them. The free games can be retriggered by more scatter symbols, with any new ones being added to the end of the current round.
Gamble Game
Any win under a certain number of coins can potentially be doubled several times over if players want to risk an extra gamble. To double a win, they will need to decide if a playing card will be a red or black suit, clicking on the correctly coloured button at the right time as the card flashes between to two. If they get it right, the new win can either be collected, or they can go a second, third or more, to hopefully double it again each time, but any wrong pick along the way loses the lot, including the triggering bet.
Jackpot Cards
Any of the 4 progressive jackpots will be won if the randomly-triggered Jackpot Cards round starts. Players will see 12 face-down cards and will need to click on them in any order. Once 3 of the same suit have been found, they win whichever progressive prize is linked to that suit, from the smaller Clubs award to the top Spades jackpot.
The Verdict
The Action Money video pokie has an interesting theme that’s done in a fun cartoon style. The topic of money gives EGT plenty of scope to fill the reels with images of cash and wealth, which online casino gamblers will want a share of when they play this game.
Standard spins of the reels should line up some reliable winning combinations, but it’s the bonus rounds that make it stand out, particularly the free spins with those multipliers and extra wilds in place.
