Break Away – Microgaming

We always like it when a developer comes up with a theme we haven’t seen before, and that’s what Microgaming has done with Break Away. Ok, so they are following a trend for sports-themed slots, but Ice Hockey is not what we were expecting!

This 5-reel slot with 243 ways to win manages to bring the ice to the reels convincingly. The game’s visuals are crisp and lifelike, and coupled with the sounds of the crowd and the clash of sticks, you might find yourself momentarily transported ringside.

But it’s not just about the graphics. The game is packed with features, including Stacked Wilds, the base game Smashing Wilds feature, Rolling Reels and Free Spins. As for the basics, volatility is medium, and the RTP is 96.29%.

The one thing about the game that players might find off-putting is the betting range, which is geared towards high rollers rather than casual players. The minimum bet is 0.50, and rises by increments of 0.50 all the way up to 250.00

Game Symbols

The highest-paying regular symbol is the Red Jersey Player, followed closely by the White Jersey Player and the Goalie. Middle-tier symbols include the Referee with the Puck Drop, the Helmet & Sticks, and the Skates. Lower on the paytable, you’ll find the Zamboni.

Key special symbols  are the game’s logo, which serves as the Wild, helping to form winning combinations, while the Puck Scatter is the most valuable symbol, triggering free spins and offering the highest payouts.

Bonus Features and Jackpots

Stacked Wilds

The Break Away Logo acts as a special stacked wild symbol, substituting for all other symbols except the Flaming Puck scatter. These wilds can stack on reels 3, 4, and 5, enhancing your chances of landing winning combinations. Meanwhile,

Scatter Pays

The Flaming Puck scatter serves as the key to unlocking the game’s highest payouts and triggering the Free Spins feature.

Random Smashing Wild Feature

This fan-favourite is randomly triggered and guarantees a win whenever it activates. During this feature, a hockey player skates onto the screen, smashing one of the middle reels to turn it into an expanded wild.

Rolling Reels

Active during both base play and free spins, this feature triggers after every winning combination. Symbols involved in the win are removed from the reels, allowing new symbols to fall into place. This can result in consecutive wins from a single spin.

Free Spins with Multipliers

The Free Spins feature in Break Away is activated by landing three or more Flaming Puck scatter symbols. The number of scatters determines the initial number of free spins: 3 scatters award 15 free spins, four scatters award 20 free spins, and five scatters award 25 free spins.

During the Free Spins, the Rolling Reels feature remains active, offering the potential for multiple consecutive wins with increasing multipliers.
