Six Acrobats

A slot from Microgaming and it’s one of Microgaming’s 5 reel, 3 rows, 9 liners type of slots and based on Asian circus theme. The minimum stake is 0.09 per spin making it suitable for all players especially for lovers of 9 liners.

To get the free spins you will need to land three or more scatter symbols. You will then get 15 free spins for 3 scatters, 20 free spins for 4 scatters and 25 free spins for 5 scatter symbols. One nice thing that reminds me of some other slots such as Break Da Bank Again, is that every time a scatter lands on the reels during the free spins it will give an extra spin. Now during the base game and during the free spins the wilds are 5x but during the free spins any win with a wild will make it a 25x multiplier. This is just like in NetEnts Reel Steel. The similarity in both the extra spins for scatter during the free spins and the 5x wilds base and 25x during the free spins is there indeed.

Because of the 5x wilds for wins during the base the base game can and does pay every now and then.

The fact this slot has a variety of free spins features makes it a good change from many other slots which only have one.

Slot features come quite often with this one, in a couple recent sessions, one took just 103 spins while another took just 12 spins. So you won’t have to wait too long before the free spins action starts.

Music and sound is suitable for this asian theme slot as well and Microgaming is good at matching up slots with suitable music sounds I must say.

The RTP for this game is quite low at only 95.43% how about that huh. Could have been made better with higher RTP but Microgaming went with this low number. Another negative is that the free spins cannot be retriggered but you do get the extra spins with each scatter appearing during the free spins.

Six Acrobats is based on the very popular Break da Bank Again but just re-skinned.
Six Acrobats was always going to be a sure fire hit! It's a 9liner with attitude and a fresh oriental twist to the clone Break Da bank again.

The theme is the Chinese circus and trapeze artists and the slot has beautiful graphics, big wins animations and big win potential as you would expect.

The exciting part of this game is that you can win absolutely massive even in the base game, just one 5 of a kind with a wild can be absolutely monstrous!

The best possible hit in the base game is a whopping 1666.66x bet! For this win you would need a wild substitute, with top 5 of a kind symbol across 2 pay-lines. Within free spins the wild symbol is multiplied by 25x so this win can exceed 9000x bet in one single spin!

During free spins you cannot re-trigger but you can get 1 extra spin for each scatter on the reels which can prolong your feature significantly.
The music is nice and relaxing and perfect for the theme. The big win music is exciting and usually gives big win music on a win of 50x bet or more.

I would definitely recommend this slot to a friend but would also say proceed with caution as it is Break Da bank Agains younger protégé!

Now for the cons...

As Six Acrobats is very high variance you should expect a lot of dead spins

The tease on this slot is agonizing and such a relief when it hits!

You cannot autoplay Six Acrobats in the UK.

If you are aren't on a state of the art pc or a powerful laptop this slot will lag so badly and may even cut out completely.

It's very possible to get a zero win during the free spins feature, which is plain awful mostly it's all or nothing with this one.

I give the Six Acrobats slot 7/10, I'll always like Break Da bank again more but this is a pleasant change of scenery now and again!

I know how popular Microgaming's Break Da Bank Again is, and I also know that the game has big win potentials, but those big wins have always eluded me, despite having played thousands of spins on that game. It's a love-hate game like Immortal Romance too, I would say, but for me, it has always been more of hate than love. I love the big wins potentials, but I simply hate the damn blardy payouts that I always get! And just like those Wild Desire feature games, the Free Spins games of Break Da Bank Again have given me several times of absolutely zero payout! This is the thing that I hate most about both games. With this new release of Six Acrobats, a clone of Break Da Bank Again, I have avoided playing it as much as I can!

Six Acrobats plays with the same 9 paylines and identical paytable as Break Da Bank Again. I don't know if this game was cloned by Microgaming or by another game provider, because the game is prettier in looks and uses Chinese acrobats for its main characters, but the play screen doesn't look like it's from Microgaming. Maybe I'm wrong, but it doesn't really matter anyway. Like they say, looks can be very deceiving.

The logo 'Six Acrobats' is the Wild symbol, paying 5x for all wins with it, but doesn't pay anything for itself. During the free spins, all wins with a Wild symbol pays an incredible 25x. Yeah, easy to say but damn hard to get, and the Wilds usually combine with the lower paying symbols most of the time, producing nothing more than low to mediocre wins! I have yet to get a nice big win with a Wild symbol combining with any high paying symbol during my hundreds of Free Spins games in Break Da Bank Again, so I am not expecting to get such big wins on this Six Acrobats game. Experience has shown me over these years that if I cannot get a nice Mega Win in one game, then I probably won't get it in any of its cloned games either. Very strange but true for me!

Instead of a bank vault, a Dancer replaces as the Scatter symbol, with the same unfriendly 2x total bet payout for getting 2 Scatters, but absolutely no payout at all for getting 3, 4 or 5 Scatters. They don't even retrigger the Free Spins game, except for adding 1 more free spin for each appearing Scatter symbol. This is another thing that I really hate about both these games. In fact, I hate all games that don't pay anything for getting Scatters - it's a blardy waste of good extra winning chances! 3, 4 or 5 Scatters award 15, 20 or 25 free spins, with all wins multiplied by 5x, and of course, multiplied by 25x if won with a Wild symbol. The Wild symbols do not multiply with themselves, so the maximum 25x remains, regardless of the number of Wild symbols in any winning combination.

What more can I say when the few games that I have played on Six Acrobats were nothing more than big disappointments for me! The best win I have gotten so far is only 50x my bet amount, and that is damn blardy low! It sucks as badly as with Break Da Bank Again, so it looks like I will avoid this game too as much as possible!
