Big Break Slot

There are big waves, the surf, fruit, there’s, erm, monkeys, that’s right, there’s surfing monkeys. We’re not quite sure what Microgaming was thinking when they developed this theme, but it is super fun to play and boasts more prizes and payouts than you can shake a stick at. This is a 5-reel, 15-payline title that features vibrant, colorful graphics and super-smooth gameplay. And it’s got surfing monkeys too, did we mention that?! ...

Even more favorable than the fruit in this game are the Ape characters who range from 500 to 1000 for a match of five.

I started off in this game on minimum bet and I was just managing to hit enough winnings to keep my head above water, NOT good enough for me so I risked it all and threw caution to the wind with a few Max bets and was fortunate enough to get 3 of the blue Ape along with one of the Big Break logo symbols which in this game acts as a substitute for any of the Apes and doubles your payout when included in a winning match.

I gained a nice stack from this win but being the ever bold gambler that I am I remained on max bet and before long I was back where I started and I didnt feel as though this game gave me the same thrills that I so gladly got from other slot games where I won less. As for the scatters in this game I did manage to get 15 free spins on a couple of occasions but had no other major winnings from these.
All things considered about this game I unfortunately cannot say I will be returning, while I like the graphics the game seems to lack that added edge and while I managed a decent win I was quicker about losing it all again in the hunt for that increased heartbeat!

All things considered and maybe slightly based on the fact that I left this game "Broken Bigtime" my rating for Big Break is 5/10

esides to these symbols there are also two wild symbols and scatter symbol. I like the theme here which is tropics and surfing as well as the cheerful music that is heard in the background while you play.

Big Break offers some very interesting and original feature. In the description of the game here at AG I noticed one mistake. In fact, it says that this game does not offer a bonus game which is not true. The bonus game can be reached if on each of the five reels have by one symbol with monkeys. This is a variation of pick up bonus and the most you can cash of this bonus is 50 x bet. Then here you have a free spins bonus. At least 3 scatter symbols activate the free spins feature. Here, as I said before, there are two wild symbols. First that says "Big Break" replaces only symbols with the monkeys. The second that says "Lucky Break" appears only on the fifth reels and substitutes all symbols and doubles the wins but right to left pays only.

Of all software providers, Microgaming has in the offer the largest number of slot games. While I’m playing for 5 years in Microgaming casinos some of them I have never tried, while on some games I have played only a short period of time. One of these games is the Big Break. In several attempts on this game I made no more than 150 total spins, so it is no wonder that I can’t talk big for some great wins in this game. But no matter what I like the game and for her I give a solid 7 out of 10 possible stars.

I think this game could be good if you have balance under 10€ because minimum bet is set to 0.15€.

The game offer free spins feature and bonus game. Bonus game is good, but nothing special. There you can win up to x50 bet, which I think is not so perfect for bonus. Each surfer has different prize from a range of multiplier. You can select only one and you get cash prize. This bonus game would be better if max win is set to at least x100 bet. I never got bonus game, but I do not think I would win anything higher than x20 bet. But i had free spins feature once during my gameplay session.

The free spins feature is better, you will be awarded with 15 free spins. During free games feature could be retriggered which is cool. I won around x40 bet here into free games and I later I raised my bet to 0.45€. Now I think this was not a good choice, because I lost my balance very soon after that.

Otherwise I think this is a good, decent game from Microgaming software provider. I usually do not play it quite often, mostly because there are many better games than this one. But still it is good when you have balance under 10€ so you can play with minimum bets for a longer time than some other games which has 25 or even more pay ways.

I will rate it with 7 out of 10 possible stars. The graphics and sounds are nothing special here, very simple game.

One advantage is that the lowest cost per spin is €0.15 if you are not feeling very adventurous but it is always difficult to hit the winning combination.

This video slot is very colorful and the main theme is inspired by a tropical ambiance. Main symbols are 5 different apes and secondary symbols are some tropical fruits such as kiwi, mango coconut, just to name some. All in all, the graphic is nice but the music can be annoying.

Big Break features free spins and two types of wilds. The first one is called Big Break and it only serves as a substitute and it is represented as a wave with the words “Big Break” on it. The second one is called Lucky Break and it appears only on reel 5. This wild also serves as a substitute for all symbols except the Free Spin symbol. There is a possibility to double your winnings. If you collect 3 or more scatters, which is the pink symbol with the words “Munky Wax” written on it, you will trigger 15 free spins. During the free spins the monkeys will pay as scatters if they are lined from left to right. I was very surprised when I had five of a kind and they paid me like 2 Euros only, maybe because there are no multipliers during the free spins so the winnings are not that big. This video slot offers a bonus game which gets triggered during the base game. It only happens if you get 5 same monkeys. The bonus is not that impressive either because it is click and stop to get a few credits. You can win 50x bet but the nearest I got was 22 Euros.

If you feel like having some monkey business, then you've come to the right place.

Big Break is a game from many years ago, so there's nothing spectacular at all in its graphics nor sounds. A basic game with 15 paylines, can be enjoying for a while, but don't expect much from it though. It's impossible to win big on Big Break, nothing like what Microgaming has called this game. Oh gees, give me a break Microgaming! The logo 'Lucky Break' acts as a Wild symbol, it doubles wins with it, but nothing else. 'Big Break' is the actual Wild symbol, it only substitutes for the monkey symbols, and doesn't pay either. Yeah, a dumb Wild! The 'Munkey Wax' is the Scatter symbol, 5 of which pays 100x the total bet. 3, 4 or 5 of these symbols award 15 free spins without any win multiplier, but all the monkey symbols pay as scatter symbols during the free spins game. This is where a 5-Scatters win can be attained. Yes, the Free Spins game can be retriggered.

Another feature to look out for is the 'Surf's Up' Bonus game, activated when all 5 monkey symbols appear anywhere on the 5 reels. Press the 'Start' button and one of the 5 Surfers will be selected randomly, with a possible win of up to 50x the total bet. This feature cannot be triggered during the free spins. The monkey symbols pay from 1000x (Gorilla) down to 500x the line bet, whilst the fruit symbols pay 150x down to 50x the line bet. A very low paytable indeed.

's 15 Free spins gives the ability of paying off Monkey symbols as left to right scatters, the same as if playing on a way wins slot but only for a temporary amount of time until the free spins disappear. And if your wondering if it can be retriggered the simple and reassuring answer to follow is...YES! The scatter type pay outs can only be applied to monkey symbols and I think the "Big Break" Wild counts as a connector to those symbols which is pretty great! Another thing this fun slot has, derives from the "Lucky Break" symbol on the last reel. Surely sometimes if I see nothing in the first two reels from the left side but find something better on the last 3 reels, unexpectedly having the "Lucky Break" symbol on the 5th reel will pay out double of whatever is in connection starting from the right to left reel! This means that no payouts may eventually turn into some profits back. Lucky Break is the only symbol capable of substituting on everything but the scatters and if my memory serves me well then the Big Break symbol and Lucky break go together. if they don't than Microgaming needs to update that just to give us the benefit of the doubt. The other feature that's not worth talking about is the Surf's up bonus only triggered when you get all 5 Monkeys anywhere on the 5 reels, no duplicates.

The bonus is a click and stop to get a few credits so overall not the type to brag about. I would definitely recommend Big Break most of the time and I would give this slot a 9 out of 10! Some work like more paylines again are needed!

However, does it deliver in terms of payout though?

I've played this game a couple of times and was confused as hell when I did. Whenever a gaming providers choses to make use of other ways to trigger a bonus game or reward prizes in free spins, then this could definitely cause some confusion among casino players. Unfortunately it took me a couple of hundred spins and many looks at the paytable before finally "getting" it lol.

Anyway, Big Break has 15 paylines and 5 reels. The symbols are made up from several type of monkeys/gorillas and fruits. The main advantage of 15 liners is that the cost per spin is cheap at €0.15, but combinations will be harder to hit. I've played this game at the lowest bet size since my bankroll was vanishing when I chose to play this slot.

In addition it has free spins symbols and two type of wilds. The first one is the Big Break symbol which only substitutes for the monkeys. The second wild is called the Lucky Break and only appears on reel 5 and doubles your winnings. This symbol doubles your win but only pays for combinations from right to left, and this symbol substitutes for all except the Big Break wild and the scatters.

Do you still get it? Lol.. well it took me a while to understand the format as well. I like variation but sometimes it's just too much variation for a player to cope with. However, I'm not done yet because there some more confusion left lol. To trigger 15 free spins you have to collect 3 or more scatters. I did this once.

During the free spins the monkeys will pay as scatters as well. So if you get a 5oak of the same monkey symbol, then you have 5 scatters as well. I won like 3 euros from my €0.15 bet, which isn't too impressive. Lastly, there is the bonus game which gets triggered if you collect 5oak of the same monkey during base game.

It doesn't matter which monkey, as long it's the same monkey. During the bonus the spotlight will change from 1 to the other surfer, and stop until you click stop. Each surfer has a different potential with 50x bet size being the biggest hit.

I won 6x my bet size which wasn't too impressive either. Overall an entertaining game, but I fail to see how I really can win big here. Plus I had a headache at the end of my session since there were too many things I had to be taught before understand this game lol.

My final rating is a 7/10.

Honestly speaking, I didn't enjoy playing this game, neither did I get any satisfying wins at all. The only Free Spins game that I got paid out poorly, not even 20x my total bet, so I quickly lost interest in the game and never got back to it ever since. Nothing in Big Break is worth while playing for! Sheesh!
