Break Da Bank Again Respin is the third in the Microgaming bank heist series. The first installment was called Break Da Bank, and each new version got another word tacked on the end (which explains this game’s rather lengthy title). But naming choices aside, this 5 reel, 9 payline slot harnesses 3 special features set to High volatility. With a top prize of 4,400 times your bet let’s see what this game has in store for players.
The Highlights
- 5 reels and 9 paylines
- Includes Multipliers, Wilds, Scatters, Free Spins, Re-spins
- High Volatility
- 4,400 times your bet max win
- RTP 96.58%
Break Da Bank Again Respin Theme and Background
The slot opens with a chorus of chatter and bustle, the sort of ambient noise you’d expect from a public space like a bank. When you land winning combinations or come close to activating a special feature, the noise is overlaid by heist music. The reels are populated by gold ingots, wads of cash, stacks of coins, cheques, diamonds, bank vaults, and the game logo. These symbols are joined by A, K, Q, J, and 10 card suits in bright colors. Comparing this third generation to its two predecessors, you’ll discover that the design and theme hasn’t altered much. In fact, the biggest differences lie with the special features.
Break Da Bank Again Respin Pros:

- The Free Spins feature can be re-triggered with multiplier up to 25 x
Break Da Bank Again Respin Cons:
- There are loads of dry spins to contend with

- The game design is pretty basic
Gameplay and Special Features on Break Da Bank Again Respin
Break Da Bank Again Respin runs with 3 main special features, each one offering a different level of potential in terms of wins possible. Here’s how everything works:
Multiplier Wilds
Of all three features this one is probably my favorite because it works very simply, yet effectively. The Wild features as you would expect, making up winning combinations by substituting for any adjacent symbols. Where it’s making a difference is due to the 5 x multiplier that’s attached, meaning every winning combination will be multiplied by five. This allows for potentially huge winnings if it combines with the game’s top paying symbols. This is the best way to collect sizable wins during the base game.
Re-spins
After each base game spin, you’ll have the option to spin any of the 5 reels again. And again, and again. In fact, you can repsin each of them as many times as you like. But here’s the thing — these aren’t free respins. Each respin comes with a price, and the price will fluctuate based on the combined value of whatever is displayed on the reels at the time. The more potential the combination has, the more it will cost you. So what’s the point of paying for these individual reel re-spins? Well, they cost less than a single normal spin, and offer the opportunity to trigger the free spins feature (see next) or make up big wins with the Wilds (see above).
Free Spins
If you land 3, 4 or 5 vault symbols (the Scatter) you’ll be awarded either 15, 20 to 25 Free Spins. Each spin is boosted by multipliers; 5 x for a regular win, but 25 x for wins involving Wilds. During the feature, landing an additional Scatter will give you one extra spin for more opportunities to cash out. If you’re lucky enough to land 5 Scatters then you’ll get an additional 25 Free Spins.
What are the Payouts and Wagering Limits for Break Da Bank Again Respin?
Break Da Bank Again Respin comes with only 9 active lines, which would explain the intense dry spins you’ll experience here. You’ll have the option to wager anything between C$0.01 and C$4 for each line, making the slot’s actual wagering range C$0.09 to C$36. The RTP of 96.58%, is lower than average, but the difference is so small it doesn’t really affect the gameplay much. In theory the payouts are most impressive when you get to the free spins, because that’s where the slot’s maximum win can be unlocked thanks to a multiplier of 5 x and 25 x. However, in practice you’ll be lucky to squeeze out any spendable value there, thanks to the difficulty in triggering the feature and the unaltered game that allows dry spins that eat up all your free spins. Unlike with most slots, the biggest wins are unlikely to stem from the free spins feature. Based on my experience, the slot’s biggest potential can be unlocked in the base game, thanks to the 5 x multiplier Scatter.
The final verdict for Break Da Bank Again Respin
Break Da Bank Again Respin is worthy of its lengthy title, making it a great addition to the series. You might encounter a few dry spins, but these are somewhat balanced out by sporadic wins of substantial value. Unlike many slots, which conceal all the big prizes behind the Free Spins round, this game offers most of its value through Multiplier Wilds. The Re-spin feature is also a nice addition, offering the opportunity for a little strategy to come into play — a rare event with most slots.
