Action Money
Action Money publishes 96.94% — the highest RTP of the 44 official Amusnet spec sheets we have read, and higher than any game reviewed on this site. It clears the next best, Burning Hot at 96.45%, by half a point, and it beats the entire 96.50% Bell Link line.
Better still, that return comes at only 3/5 volatility. The bonus is a three-stage Bank Feature: pick a bank for a 1×–5× multiplier, pick an envelope for your free spins. One caveat, and it is a real one — the title is flagged as having configurable RTP.

Play Action Money Free
The demo above is worth more than usual on this game, and not for the reason you would expect. Action Money is flagged as having configurable RTP ranges, so what you want from a demo session is a feel for the Bank Feature — how often three scatters actually land, and what a 1× bank feels like against a 5× one. The headline return only matters if the casino is running the build that delivers it. This demo is part of our free EGT slots collection.
Action Money at a Glance
How Action Money Plays
Action Money is Amusnet’s stock-market slot, released on 22 June 2015 under game ID 851. The studio sets the scene plainly: it “takes you inside the most famous stock market and reveals its ways to victory… Prepare for a thrilling venture into the world of high finance, where the stakes are high.”
Structurally it is a 5-reel, 3-row grid with 20 paylines. The official sheet lists twenty and stops — it does not spell out line options the way the sheets for Rise of Ra and Witches’ Charm do. VegasSlotsOnline’s walkthrough describes a selector in the live game for 1, 5, 10, 15 or 20 lines, with 1, 2, 5, 10 or 20 coins on each, and SlotCatalog’s “20 to 400 coins per spin” is exactly that arithmetic. So the selector appears to be there; the studio simply does not print it.
What sets this game apart is that the official sheet lists three special features, not one. Verbatim: “Bank Feature | Scatter Game | Free Spins with Multiplier”. Most Amusnet pages carry a single string. Those three map exactly onto the three stages both databases describe, which is why we can quote the bonus in more detail than usual.
The wild is the Boss — the cigar-smoking big shot — and he is also the top-paying symbol. Both databases put five of him on a line at 10,000, which is precisely the official max-win figure of 10,000× the bet per line. One more quirk worth knowing: VegasSlotsOnline reports that the Secretary and the Banker pay from two of a kind, where every other symbol needs three.
The Story Behind Action Money
We have now read the official spec sheet for 44 Amusnet games and recorded what each one publishes. Action Money sits at the top of that table, and not narrowly.
96.94%. The next best figures in the entire set are Burning Hot and Zodiac Wheel at 96.45%, then Dragon Reels and Great Adventure at 96.44%. Action Money clears the field by half a percentage point — which, on a studio whose catalogue mostly clusters between 95.7% and 96.3%, is an enormous gap.
It also beats the Bell Link line. Every Bell Link game we have reviewed — 40 Shining Crown, 40 Burning Hot, 40 Super Hot, 5 Dazzling Hot and the rest — publishes 96.50%, and those are EGT Digital’s modern jackpot machines with the marketing behind them. A 2015 stock-market slot from the older studio returns more than all of them.
And it does it at 3 out of 5 volatility. That combination is the point. High-RTP games in this catalogue usually trade something for it — Burning Hot and Zodiac Wheel return 96.45% on five lines with no free-spins round at all. Action Money returns more, on twenty lines, with a three-stage bonus, at mid-scale variance.
We are not going to pretend the ceiling matches. At 10,000× the line bet across twenty lines it works out at about 500× your total bet, which ties Olympus Glory, Shining Crown, Casino Mania and several others and sits well behind the roughly 1,000× that The White Wolf and Fruits Kingdom reach. This is a game you play for the return, not the top end.
Symbols and Paytable
Amusnet publishes no symbol table. The coin values below are SlotCatalog’s, on an unstated denomination — useful for ranking the symbols against each other, not for converting into money.
| The Boss — wild, and the top payer | The cigar-smoking big shot. He substitutes for the paying symbols, and both databases put five of him on a line at 10,000 — exactly the official max-win of 10,000× the bet per line, so the wild is also the highest-paying symbol on the reels. Amusnet names no symbol itself. |
|---|---|
| The scatter — and the sources disagree on its name | Three or more open the Bank Feature. SlotCatalog calls them Scattered Deeds; VegasSlotsOnline describes a signed Contract that pays regardless of alignment, plus three Bank scatters on the last three reels as an alternate trigger. The official sheet confirms a “Scatter Game” exists and names nothing. We are not going to pick a winner between two databases. |
| The Secretary and the Banker — two of a kind | VegasSlotsOnline reports these two pay from two matching symbols where everything else needs three. Single source, so treat it as reported — but it is a specific, checkable claim. SlotCatalog puts the secretary at 1,000 coins. |
| Bodyguards, offices and limousines | The mid-tier. Up to 200 coins each, per SlotCatalog. The limousine is also one of the three symbols that can become an extra wild inside the bonus round. |
| Dollar bills, money bags and gold cards | The low end — up to 100 coins. This game has no playing-card symbols at all, which is unusual for the studio. |
| What nobody publishes | Hit frequency, exact per-symbol tables in currency, and how many free spins each of the eight envelopes holds. Amusnet lists its three feature names and stops. |
Read the 10,000× as a line figure. Across twenty lines your total stake is twenty times the line bet, so the published ceiling is worth roughly 500× your total bet. Note how the line count works against you here: Fruits Kingdom publishes the same 10,000× on ten lines and therefore reaches about 1,000×. Same headline, double the ceiling.
Bonus Features
96.94% — the highest we have found anywhere
Verified on Amusnet’s official page and matched exactly by SlotCatalog. Across the 44 official spec sheets we have read, the next best is 96.45%. It also beats every Bell Link game on the site, all of which publish 96.50%. On a catalogue that mostly sits between 95.7% and 96.3%, half a point clear is a very large margin.
And only 3/5 volatility
This is what makes the number usable. Amusnet rates it mid-scale on its own five-point system, SlotCatalog says “Med” and VegasSlotsOnline says “Medium” — three-way agreement, which is rarer than it should be. The best return in the catalogue is not being paid for with punishing variance.
A genuine three-stage Bank Feature
Three or more scatters open it. First you choose one of five banks, which reveals a prize multiplier of 1× to 5×. Then you choose one of eight envelopes, which reveals how many free spins you have won. VegasSlotsOnline adds a third layer the other source misses: an extra wild is added for the round — the Limousine, the Secretary or the Banker. SlotCatalog puts the round’s ceiling at 20,000 coins.
The studio names Jackpot Cards itself
Small thing, but it matters. Amusnet’s own page calls this a “Featured Slot Game with Jackpot Cards, and Gamble”. On Olympus Glory, Age of Troy, Magellan, Amazons’ Battle and Witches’ Charm the studio says nothing about a jackpot and we have to describe it as a network feature that may or may not be running. Here it is documented.
But the RTP is flagged as configurable
SlotCatalog marks this title “RTP Ranges” and buckets it under a generic “96% RTP” tag rather than 96.94%. That means more than one return configuration exists and the operator picks which one to run. On a game whose entire appeal is the headline figure, that caveat costs more than it does anywhere else — and nothing on screen tells you which build you are playing.
Jackpot Cards — and here the studio actually says so
Amusnet’s own page describes Action Money as a “Featured Slot Game with Jackpot Cards, and Gamble”. That is worth pausing on, because it is the exception rather than the rule: across most of the games we have reviewed the official sheet mentions no jackpot at all, and we have to describe the progressive as a network-wide feature that may or may not be switched on at your casino. On this title the studio documents it.
Both databases describe it the same way. Four counters climb above the reels; the round fires at random after a paid spin, with nothing you can do to summon it; twelve face-down cards appear and you keep turning them until three of one suit match, which awards that suit’s jackpot. Clubs sit at the bottom of the ladder and Spades at the top.
SlotCatalog happened to record the four counters at its time of review — 800, 4,500, 14,600 and 71,400 coins. Those are a snapshot of live progressives, not fixed values, and they will be nothing like that today. We quote them only to show the shape of the ladder: the top level ran roughly ninety times the bottom one.
One thing does not change. The jackpot sits outside the published 96.94%, which describes the reels only. That figure is not inflated by the progressive.
The Gamble Feature, Properly Explained
Amusnet lists Gamble among the features without describing it, as usual. Both databases fill in the same picture: after a win you can risk it on the colour of a face-down card, doubling on a correct call and losing the lot on a wrong one. VegasSlotsOnline puts it bluntly — “the first mistake means bankruptcy”.
Unlike some titles in this range, neither source publishes a coin ceiling for the gamble on this game, so we are not going to invent one. On Olympus Glory the same database gives 7,000 and on Age of Troy 1,750, which tells you these limits vary per game rather than being a house default — but for Action Money the figure simply is not published.
The maths of a colour call is neutral before the house edge and slightly negative after it. It does not raise your expected return; it widens the spread of outcomes. That is worth thinking about here in particular: you would be choosing this game for the best return in the catalogue and then bolting on a feature that does nothing for your return at all.
- 96.94% is the highest RTP of the 44 official Amusnet spec sheets we have read — half a point clear of the next best
- It beats every Bell Link game on this site, all of which publish 96.50%
- That return comes at only 3/5 volatility, with three sources agreeing on the rating
- A real three-stage bonus: a 1×–5× bank multiplier, an envelope of free spins, and an extra wild for the round
- The studio documents Jackpot Cards on this title instead of leaving us to hedge
- Flagged as having configurable RTP ranges — the operator sets the live figure, and on a 96.94% headline that matters most
- The 500× effective ceiling is mid-pack; Fruits Kingdom and The White Wolf reach roughly double
- Both databases are lukewarm on the presentation, and one calls the bonus rules confusing
- Three sources give three different release dates, and no currency bet range is published
How Action Money Compares
The only comparison that matters for this game is the return. Every RTP and volatility figure below is from an official studio spec sheet.
| Game | RTP | Volatility (official) | Lines | Max win (per line) | Effective ceiling |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Action Money | 96.94% | 3 / 5 | 20 | 10,000× | ≈500× total |
| 40 Shining Crown Bell Link | 96.50% | EGT Digital — unpublished | 40 | — | ≈1,200× total |
| Burning Hot | 96.45% | 2 / 5 | 5 | 3,000× | ≈600× total |
| Zodiac Wheel | 96.45% | 2 / 5 | 5 | 3,000× | ≈600× total |
| Shining Crown | 96.37% | 2 / 5 | 10 | 5,000× | ≈500× total |
The first column is the whole argument. Nothing else on this site returns more, and the gap to second place is half a percentage point — on a catalogue where most games sit within a few hundredths of each other, that is not a rounding difference.
The second row is the honest comparison. 40 Shining Crown Bell Link returns less but reaches further, at roughly 1,200× your total bet against this game’s 500×, and it has a hold-and-win jackpot round you can actually watch build. If the top end is what you are chasing, that is the better machine.
The bottom two rows show what the high-RTP end of this catalogue normally looks like: five lines, no free-spins round, 2/5 volatility, and a return half a point below this one. Action Money is the only game we have found that pairs a top-of-catalogue return with an actual bonus feature.
RTP, Volatility and Win Potential
The RTP of Action Money is 96.94%. It is published on Amusnet’s official game page and matched exactly by SlotCatalog.
That is the highest figure we have found anywhere in this studio’s catalogue. We have now read the official spec sheet for 44 Amusnet games. The next best returns are Burning Hot and Zodiac Wheel at 96.45%, then Dragon Reels and Great Adventure at 96.44%. Most of the catalogue sits between 95.7% and 96.3%. Action Money clears the field by half a percentage point, which in this range is a very large margin indeed.
It also beats the modern jackpot line. Every EGT Digital Bell Link game we have reviewed publishes 96.50% — 40 Shining Crown, 40 Burning Hot, 40 Super Hot, 5 Dazzling Hot and the rest. A 2015 slot from the older studio returns more than all of them.
The volatility is 3 out of 5, mid-scale on Amusnet’s own system. SlotCatalog says “Med”; VegasSlotsOnline says “Medium”. Three-way agreement, which is rarer in this research than it ought to be. That combination is what makes the return worth something: the best figure in the catalogue is not being paid for with brutal dry spells, and it arrives on twenty lines with a real bonus round rather than on the five-line fruit machines that usually occupy the high-RTP slots here.
Now the caveat, and it is the most important one in this review. SlotCatalog flags this title as having RTP ranges — more than one return configuration exists, and the operator chooses which to run. Its own tagging is telling: it files the game under a generic “96% RTP” bucket rather than 96.94%. Amusnet publishes the single figure and we have no reason to doubt it is the standard build, but on a game whose entire case rests on the headline number, the honest statement is that 96.94% is what the studio publishes, not a promise about the machine in front of you — and nothing on screen will tell you which build you have. If you are choosing this game for the return, that is worth asking a casino about before you fund an account.
Bets, Bankroll and Session Planning
Amusnet publishes no bet range for Action Money. SlotCatalog’s spec box lists 0.01 to 1000, but that is the generic default it applies across most of its catalogue rather than a researched figure.
Its review text is more specific and a second source agrees. SlotCatalog describes “20 to 400 coins per spin options available”; VegasSlotsOnline’s walkthrough describes selecting 1, 5, 10, 15 or 20 paylines and then 1, 2, 5, 10 or 20 coins on each. Twenty lines at up to twenty coins is four hundred, so the two accounts fit together exactly. Those are coin figures on a denomination nobody states, so they do not convert into a currency stake — but the structure is clear enough to plan with.
At 3/5 volatility this is one of the more forgiving games in the catalogue to size a bankroll for. The return is high and the variance is mid-scale, which means fewer of the long empty stretches that make a 4/5 or 5/5 machine hard to sit through. If the line selector VegasSlotsOnline describes is present in your casino’s build, the full twenty lines is the sensible default — dropping lines does not change the return percentage, only how lumpy it arrives.
Playing Action Money on Mobile
Amusnet lists the game as available for desktop and mobile, and SlotCatalog records it as JS/HTML5, so it runs in a phone browser without a download.
A 5×3 grid with twenty lines is readable enough on a small screen. The part that benefits most from a bigger display is the Bank Feature — five banks and then eight envelopes is a lot of picking, and VegasSlotsOnline’s complaint that the rules “can be a little confusing” is fair. Running it once in the free demo before you play for money is worth the five minutes.
Five Things to Know Before You Spin
- Ask the casino which RTP build it runs. This is the one game where it genuinely matters. The 96.94% is the reason to be here, the title is flagged as configurable, and nothing on screen reveals the answer.
- Count scatters, not lines. Three or more open the Bank Feature. The sources disagree on what the symbol is called — deeds or contracts — but they agree on the count.
- Read the 10,000× as a per-line figure. Across twenty lines it is about 500× your total bet. Respectable, but mid-pack for this studio, and not the reason to choose this game.
- The bank you pick sets the multiplier, the envelope sets the spins. Both are blind picks, so there is nothing to play well — but knowing the shape stops the round being bewildering the first time.
- If you want the ceiling rather than the return, look at Fruits Kingdom or The White Wolf. Both publish the same 10,000× per line across only ten lines, so both reach roughly double this game’s effective top end.

Who Action Money Is For
Play it if the return is what you care about. This is the highest RTP we have found across 44 official Amusnet spec sheets, it beats every Bell Link game on the site, and it arrives at mid-scale volatility on twenty lines with a three-stage bonus round rather than on a bare five-line fruit machine. For a player who wants the best published percentage and a game with something happening in it, there is nothing else in this catalogue that does both.
Skip it if you are chasing a big top end — 500× your total bet is ordinary here, and Fruits Kingdom, The White Wolf and 40 Shining Crown Bell Link all reach further. Skip it too if you cannot find out which RTP build your casino is running, because on this game that is the whole question.

Our Verdict
The best return we have found, and it does not make you suffer for it
We have read the official spec sheet for 44 Amusnet games at this point, and Action Money sits at the top of that table by half a percentage point. 96.94% against 96.45% for the next best. It beats every Bell Link game on this site, all of which publish 96.50% and have far more marketing behind them. For a 2015 slot about the stock market, that is a genuinely surprising result.
What makes it more than a trivia answer is the second number. Volatility 3 out of 5 — mid-scale, with all three sources agreeing. The high-RTP corner of this catalogue is usually occupied by five-line fruit machines with no bonus round at all; Action Money returns more than any of them on twenty lines, with a three-stage Bank Feature that hands you a 1×–5× multiplier, a blind envelope of free spins, and an extra wild for the duration. And the studio documents Jackpot Cards on this title rather than leaving us to hedge, which after several reviews of doing exactly that is a small relief.
We rate it 8.9. Two things keep it off the top of our list. The 500× effective ceiling is ordinary — Fruits Kingdom and The White Wolf publish the same 10,000× per line across half as many lines and so reach roughly double. And the game is flagged as having configurable RTP ranges, which on any other title is a footnote and on this one is the whole question: if your casino runs a lower build, you have lost the only reason you came.
Ask before you deposit. Then, if the answer is the one you want, this is the best-value machine we have reviewed.
