bank run crash game theme, stakes, pays & symbols

I remember thinking that the entire crash game “craze” was slightly ridiculous when a dozen or more showed up at various casinos and dedicated cryptocurrency gaming sites several years ago. After that, I basically forgot about the whole thing for a while – I didn’t think there would be any long-term future for this type of game as people soon grew tired of earlier crypto-gambling crazes such as Satoshi Dice. One thing that these games do have going for them in comparison to regular casino table games such as Blackjack is their “provably fair” aspect – the same technology used to secure cryptocurrency transactions against fraud can also be used to verify the authenticity of a gaming result, which can be quite significant for some players who aren’t necessarily convinced by the argument that regulation provides more than enough security for those playing casino games on the web. 

Of course, the real question with any game based around gambling is “How much can I win?” and on that front, Crash games are amongst the most simple you can find. Every game starts with a zero return – a handful of them will finish that way too, as that is how the casinos make their money on this type of game. It sounds unfair, but it really isn’t any different to a slot machine returning a blank spin – it’s certainly possible that some players will have bigger bets down on a crash game compared to a single spin on a slot, but some games inevitably must have a loser… it's just the nature of the beast, I’m afraid. If a round does not conclude immediately, you’ll see the multiplier for this game increasing in the centre of the play area. At first, the multiplier will grow slowly; when a round lasts for a long time, however, you can eventually reach a point where the return begins to increase extremely fast. Any round which reaches the game's maximum limit of 1,000x will finish immediately, with all remaining players awarded that amount.

The minimum/maximum permitted wagers available in Bank Run are €0.10 and €20.00 per round, respectively, but whatever amount you choose is divided evenly between the bets you place. For example, enabling only the first bet will use the entire amount for the one wager; playing both bets will divide the selected amount equally between them.

base game & modifiers

Crash games desperately need a little something extra in the gameplay department to stand out nowadays. For example, one of my personal favourites is Cricket Crash, despite the fact that I have little to no interest in the sport itself! 

Unfortunately, Bank Run sticks to the basic crash formula pretty much exclusively. There are no portals or other special features to look out for, so the reality is that this is nothing more than a fresh coat of paint on top of a years-old idea at this point. 

bank run crash game bonus features

It doesn’t sound like much of a bonus feature, but the ability to cash out half of your winnings is really quite novel for a crash game, as far as I know! I’ve frequently complained that these simple gambling games offer no way to cash out a partial win, so finding one with such a feature is a bit of a treat – for me, anyway!

You’ll need to enable both bets to take advantage of the feature – when this is done, the game will offer a 50% Cashout option in the main play area. You can cash out your secondary bet at any time, even if you have set an automatic Cashout level, and the game constantly keeps you informed as to how much you will receive if you do. It’s only a small thing, but it’s a welcome inclusion that would make me choose this particular crash game over much of the competition.
