mega bars big hit slot THEME, STAKES, PAYS & SYMBOLS

I have many memories of the Bar-X machines growing up over the years. There was a local arcade where I lived called " Spot ", and they had a huge row of these bandits, where three Xs paid £1, and three Bars were worth £6 of tokens. I can also remember these being the first slot that I learned if it held after a nudge, it would roll the win in on the very next press, and it felt like you knew an inside secret at the time, even though to most, I guess it was common knowledge. Later in my working life, I operated some of the Mega Bars machines on a £500 jackpot, and whilst they were pretty popular with players, the cabinets were awful and very susceptible to fraud. In fairness, they probably still are, so if you see one when you're out and about that looks like Fort Knox, then that's the reason why. Before I crack on with this review, if you'd like to try a more modern version of a Bar-X, Blueprint Gaming also has a slot titled Bar-X Safecracker Megaways; that's worth a look.

How about the pays then? Well, this could be one of the shortest paytable explanations I've ever written. The highest paying symbol is, of course, the Bar, which will pay you 50x bet for a five of a kind win. This is followed by the only other symbol with a cash value in the game, which is the X. Hit a line of five, and you'll receive 15x your stake. As for the pesky "O", this is nothing more than a blocking symbol, so expect to see plenty of these on the reels. Finally, there is one last symbol, the scatter, but I'll talk more about that in the bonus section of the review. 

Blueprint has ensured that Mega Bars Big Hit can be accessed and enjoyed by both low and high rollers. So, to start the reels spinning, it will cost a minimum of €0.10, whilst the maximum bet on the game reaches a staggering €500. There are over twenty other stake sizes between these amounts, so there's plenty of scope to play the game at whatever level you feel comfortable.

base game & modifiers

Mega Bars Big Hit has been built upon a 5x3 reel format with 10 paylines in play during the base game and free spin feature. Wins are awarded when three or more matching symbols line up anywhere adjacent to each other within the reel set and on an active payline. This is a real plus point for the game in general, as it means it pays both ways and across the centre reels position, so it at least gives the impression that you can win more often, even if this isn't necessarily the case.

The scatter symbols appear on all five reels of Mega Bars Big Hit, but you'll only need three to land on a payline for 3 free spins to be awarded, whilst hitting four and five scatters on a payline will award 4 and 5 free spins respectively.
