Dangerous stunts with knives, rings of fire, balancing, juggling, twirling plates on a pole and whatnot. Everyone is quickly immersed in the magic show of the group of virtuosos with their multicolour costumes, distinctive skills and style.
This is an interesting topic for a modest machine with such simple gameplay. We agree with the game community that more elaborate 3D animations would’ve made a deeper impression of the slot. High Volatility, an RTP of 96.5%, a standard 5×3 grid and 9 pay lines are waiting for every bettor who would like to see Microgaming’s special performers astounding with their dazzling acts.
The best prospect here is capped by the developer at 97500 CAD (via Wilds Multiplier elevated to 25x in the bonus round).
If you want a little peek at what those skillful artists can do, launch the game for free in the DEMO version on our page. No download or login is required.
Personal testers’ opinion about Six Acrobats
Already several years old, this game stays popular among Microgaming’s fans due to its good potential. The acrobats’ theme is marvellous. Way less amazing is the fact that this is a reskin of the famous Break da Bank slot (2008). We have mentioned in other columns that Microgaming is called ‘the reskin king.’ Proven with this game once more than an aggressive pitbull, they commit themselves fully (in 20 different ways) to a task they undertake – bite, clamp down and never let go.
The acrobats pay from 166x to 22x, and the cards provide between 10x and 5.55x the total bet, all for 5OAK on a payline. This is a decent paytable; however, the Wilds carry no pay value (only delivers Multiplier x5 or x25 when it substitutes), and the Scatters pay only for 2OAK, which are 2 important disadvantages of the game. Other cons we need to point here are:
- The poor hit frequency (22%)
- The low maximum bet (only 22.50 CAD- not suited for high-rollers)
- The long strings of dead spins (like high volatile slots with long cycle)
- The teasing with only 2 Scatters
- The lengthy waiting for the bonus, which often doesn’t pay well and cannot be re-triggered.
Even when you finally get to the Free Spins, most of the rounds finish with unsatisfying rewards. Our absolute maximum payout during tests – 868x total bets, was received in the bonus game, but the average wins from them were disappointing – in the range of 20x-45x total bets.

How to win at the Six Acrobats slot machine? (Conclusion)
- We start our recommendation section with the warning to test the slot in the DEMO mode before playing with real cash.
- The slot is absolutely not suitable for bonus wagering.
- Short sessions are doomed to fail. So you need a bit larger starting capital (from 300+ bets) if you want to sustain till the Free Spins. There lies the massive winning potential of the game, but the chance to be depleted before the bonus arrives is very high.
- Protect yourself by gambling with optimal bet because at the beginning, and the slot can give you some payouts (just to charm you) and then slowly can bring your balance to zero.
- Although this Microgaming creation is popular and will be in often in a ‘hot’ mood, we advise launching the game from a big and famous casino platform, regarding fully accumulated prize pool.
- Changing the bet size on the Six Acrobats online slot seems not to influence the frequency and size of the payouts. Even worse, varying with the stake has a negative effect on the game cycle. For us playing steadily with 0.90 CAD was successful, but then again, every session is different, as is your luck: sometimes coming just on the right moment, and other times – simply AWOL.
