Action Bank Plus slot review
Action Bank Plus is Barcrest’s expansion of one of the modern high street’s defining slots — the alarm-bell vault job rebuilt across six reels and 4,096 ways, keeping the smash-and-grab spirit while the Plus edition’s free spins run a simple, potent upgrade: the premium symbols arrive doubled. The original Action Bank is one of the defining slots of the modern British high street — its klaxons are practically ambient noise in some towns — and the Plus edition was Barcrest’s considered answer to the ways-format era: keep the personality, widen the vault, double the loot inside the bonus.
How Action Bank Plus plays
Safes, sirens, gold bars and the famous big red BANK letters fill the widened reel set, with matching symbols on adjacent reels from the left paying in any position across the fixed 4,096 ways. The original’s brassy personality survives the format change intact — klaxons, flashing lights and the sense that the game is perpetually mid-heist.
The doubled free spins
Scatters blow the vault open for the free spins, where the Plus edition earns its name: premium symbols appear in doubled form during the round, two symbols occupying single positions — thickening the ways calculations dramatically and letting modest-looking drops resolve into multi-way payouts the base game could never assemble. Retriggers extend the raid, and a doubled-premium screen across the full 4,096 ways is the alarm-silencing jackpot picture.
RTP, volatility and top wins
The published RTP is around 96.04%, with operator versions varying — the in-game information panel shows the live figure. Volatility is medium-high, with the doubled-symbol bonus rounds carrying the vault’s heaviest hauls and the wider format lifting the ceiling well beyond the ten-line original.
