Big Break is a 15-payline video slot which operates on the Microgaming software platform. The game features several different species of monkeys and tropical fruit. The notable symbols are the Big Break Logo, as the wild card; the Lucky Break, a wild multiplier symbol, which doubles wins; and the scatter in the form of the Munky Wax symbol. Players can try the game on this page or they can visit any of the listed Microgaming casinos to play the slot for real money.
To enjoy the tropical wonders, players should adjust their wager first. The +/- located beneath the coin regulate the coin denomination, ranging from 0.01 to 1. Pressing the +/- under “Lines” alters the number of active paylines and “Coins” selects the number of coins wagered. While “Spin” turns the reels, “Bet Max” spins them at the maximum bet. To play the game for a number of times uninterrupted, players should opt for “Autoplay”.
3 or more Munky Wax symbols trigger the Free Spin round, wherein 15 Free Spins are granted. Several symbols act as scatters in this round and they are as follows: Gorilla, Lemur, Macaque, Orangutan, Gibbon. Additional Free Spins can be re-activated during this round.
The Surf’s Up Bonus game starts when Gorilla, Lemur, Macaque, Orangutan and Gibbon appear on the reels. In this game, players can win up to 7,500 coins. As players stop the flashing objects, random bonus win amounts are displayed. 5 surfboards are revealed, behind which random bonus wins with a range of multipliers are hidden and then disclosed.

Feeling very tired? Then take a break, a big break if so desired, but I don't mean playing this Big Break game from Microgaming. It can break your heart instead! Yeah, okay, your wallet too, hehehe. It's a monkey game, about different monkeys, with monkey fruits. 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.
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!
