Released by Barcrest in June 2016, Action Bank has 5 reels, 3 rows, 20 paylines and an RTP of 95.16%. The main features are the Big Bank Bonus pick game, with a top prize of 500x your stake, and a free spins round. Sources disagree on volatility and quote the max win only in coins, so we leave both open.
For real money in Canada, the legal routes are your provincial site and, in Ontario and Alberta, registered private casinos. Players must be 19+ (18+ in Alberta, Manitoba and Quebec).

Big Bank Bonus: the pick game
The Big Bank Bonus is a pick-and-reveal round. You pick items to reveal prizes, and the top prize is listed at 500x your stake. A pick round can look like a test of skill. In an online slot the result comes from the game’s random number generator, so the order of your picks does not change the expected return.
Action Bank free spins, wilds and scatters
The game has wilds, scatters and a free spins round. SlotCatalog lists the top free spins prize at 675x stake. We could not confirm the exact trigger for the round, so read the paytable before you rely on any description of it.
Why some Action Bank figures are missing
Sources disagree on volatility: we found low-medium, medium and medium-high for the same game. The maximum win is quoted only as 250,000 coins, which cannot be turned into a bet multiple without knowing the coin setup. Rather than pick one, we show these as unpublished. The Action Bank RTP of 95.16% is consistent across sources, though operators may run lower settings, so confirm the figure in the game rules.
Similar names to watch for
Several games share the brand: Action Bank Wonder 500, Action Bank Plus, Action Bank Cash Shot and Action Bank Safe Cracker. They have different maths. Check the exact title in the lobby before relying on any figure on this page. Fans of Barcrest’s other classics may also know Rainbow Riches.
