Mega Spin Break da Bank Again Pokie Machine
Break da Bank and it’s imaginatively-titled sequel Break da Bank Again have been popular pokies at online casinos around the world for some time and are now joined by a Mega Spin version that features 4 games in 1.
Mega Spin games are an innovative feature from the Microgaming developer where existing pokies are given a new lease of life by having 4 examples of the game displayed in miniature on a single screen. Wagers are spread across all the individual sets of reels and with one click they all spin at the same time, coming up with their own combinations when they stop.
The odds and payouts are the same, and in effect what you have is the ability to complete 4 spins in the time it usually takes to complete a single one, but the layout is undeniably effective and although it looks quite complicated, it’s really very easy to follow.
So a look at the actual game will show what features players can expect to see, and with the Mega Spin version, they just need to quadruple the action.

About Break da Bank Again
This classic pokie has 5 reels and 9 paylines. Based in and around a bank vault, it’s got nicely rendered images of cash, gold and precious stones to supplement the playing card symbols, while bonus features include some big wins with the wild symbol and up to 100 free spins with further win multiples in place throughout.
The control buttons below the reels work slightly differently with Mega Spin games. Players can value a coin from 0.01 to 0.25 and have from 1 to 10 coins on each line, while also activating just 1 line per set of reels or all 9. All stakes are multiplied by 4 which is shown in the total bet section and players need to be aware of this before spinning the reels or they could be in for a shock.
Winning lines are made when at least 3 of the same symbol land across the reels, starting from the left side, as long as they are on an active line and adjacent reels.
The playing card symbols 10, J, Q, K and A make up the lower end of the payscale, and moving up we see photo-realistic images of piles of coins, a chequebook, stacks of banknotes, gold bars and finally a sapphire which is the most valuable of the regular symbols.
The game logo symbol is wild and not only does it help to complete winning lines by substituting for the other basic symbols, it will also multiply the value of any prizes by 5x. The other bonus symbol is the door to the vault which is a scatter icon, triggering a free spins round when at least 3 land on the reels at once, or a scatter payout if only 2 appear.
The number of spins awarded depends on how many scatters triggered them, with 15, 20 or 25 free games commencing when 3, 4 or 5 of the vault symbols land at once. Any wins during these games will be multiplied by 5x and should the wild complete a line, the value will be multiplied by 25x over.
Any time the scatter appears again, an extra free spin will be added on to the end of the current round, which in theory could give players a total of 100 spins, but in practice it’s likely to be a lot less than that.
These are the same features that the single game version of Break da Bank Again comes with. It’s a nicely presented pokie that can give players are real boost when the wild and free spins multipliers kick in, although maybe a prize for landing 3 or more scatters would have been a nice addition, as there’s no actual guarantee that players will win anything in the free spins rounds.
So What’s the Point of Mega Spin?
If it’s the same set of reels, just multiplied 4x, players could wonder what the advantage is, and in terms of monetary rewards there isn’t any. The attraction of Mega Spin games like this one is firstly the visual appeal, as it can be fun to see 4 sets of reels spinning at once, but also the odds of getting a winning combination or triggering a bonus round are quadrupled with each spin.
As long as players keep in mind that the cost of each go is quadrupled and don’t get surprised when their bankrolls drop by 4x as much as they thought on a losing spin, then Mega Spin Break da Bank Again is a fun alternative to the standard game.
