Break Da Bank Again Pokie Machine
The popularity of Break da Bank classic pokie led Microgaming to recreate it in a 5 reels avatar and Break da Bank Again was born. This video pokie was an instant hit at New Zealand online casinos. You can also play it in the Respin and Mega Spin formats.
However, the original Break da Bank Again remains the favourite among players willing to take a bit of a risk because of its high volatility.

Bonus Opportunities in Break Da Bank Again
There is no bonus game in Break da Bank Again. Do not be disappointed because the awesome free spins feature makes up for the absence. It is discussed later in the review.
Paylines and Stakes
Break da Bank Again is a 9 paylines online pokie and you play with all of them enabled. The paylines are described in the game rules. You directly place the total bet per spin that ranges from 0.09 to 45 credits. You may find these on the lower side, particularly if you are a high roller player. We point out that Break da Bank has very high volatility with opportunities for huge payouts. It is to compensate for this that the stakes are pegged at modest levels. The bet per line, which is required for the payout calculations, is the total bet divided by 9.
Break da Bank Again Free Spins
The vault is the scatter symbol that triggers the free spins feature when three or more appear anywhere on the reels. Three scatter symbols award 15 free spins, four scatter symbols award 20 free spins and five scatter symbols award 25 free spins. All payouts are multiplied 5x during this feature. The wild symbol that has a 5x multiplier in the base game becomes a 25x multiplier in the free spins and this is where the biggest payouts come from. The feature cannot be retriggered but you will get one additional free spin for every scatter symbol that appears on the reels. The normal scatter payouts are not available in the free spins but players will not mind that a bit. The free spins will be played at the same bet as the spin in which the feature was triggered.
Auto Spin and Adjust Speed
A simple Auto Spin feature is available in Break da Bank online pokie. You can choose from 10, 25, 50 and 100 auto spins and can manually stop the feature whenever you desire. There are two caveats to be kept in mind. All the auto spins will be played at the same stakes. You will not have access to the Gamble Game during the Auto Spins.
The Quick Spin feature is available for players that are looking for faster game play. We recommend activating this option because there is little by way of animations in Break da Bank Again. You will have to click the “lightning” icon on the tool bar of the pokie machine to play in the Quick Spin mode.
Doubling Options
When playing with real money, the standard Microgaming Gamble feature is available after every win. You can collect the won amount and move on to the next spin if you want to. After activating the Gamble feature you have to decide whether you want to play for double or quadruple. In the double feature if you correctly guess the colour of the next card dealt then the staked payout is doubled. In the quadruple feature if you correctly guess the suit of the next card dealt then the staked payout is multiplied four times. A wrong guess in either case results in your losing the staked amount. You can repeat the Gamble feature for each win till the specified limit is reached.
Graphics, Animations and Sound
The reels are set in a plain background of royal purple. The graphics are bold, sleek and sharp with a 3D styling. The colourful playing card icon symbols streaking through the reels adds a touch of liveliness. The only win animation is in the scatter symbol where the vault opens to reveal piles of cash and gold ingots. You get a closer look at the open vault when you bank your free spins winnings. The background audio as the reels spins is low key, but you will hear the cash register ringing loudly when you hit a win.
Symbols and Theme
Break da Bank Again has the popular theme of wealth, which is depicted more though investment items than luxury consumer items as is common. The high paying symbols include gem stone, gold ingots, wads of cash, bank check and gold coins. The scatter symbol is the vault. At the time Break da Bank Again was released it was the practice to use playing card icons for the low paying symbols. However, you will see K, Q and J with crowns, coronets and shields to express a sense of royalty. The game logo is the wild symbol. It multiplies payouts 5x when substituting in a winning combination.
Winnings and Payouts
The line payouts are awarded by getting three, four or five like symbols on a payline, which should be aligned from left to right starting from the first reel. The payout table in the pokie machine will give the absolute payouts based on your selected total bet. We list the payouts for five of a kind wins for a total bet of 9 credits or a line bet of 1 credit.
· Game logo: 7500
· Gem: 1500
· Gold ingots: 1000
· Cash: 750
· Bank check: 500
· Gold coins: 200
· A: 90
· K: 70

Two or more scatter symbols in a base game spin award a payout of 2x the total bet.
