Break Away, scheduled to be relesed in November 2012, is an ice hockey themed five reel slot from Microgaming. It brings the high energy game of hockey onto HD quality reels which feature 243 ways to win.
Players can expect plenty of sports related action as well as bonuses which include smashing wilds, free spins and the ultra popular rolling reels feature.
Break Away Theme
As one of the latest slots from Microgaming, Break Away impresses with a range of bespoke reel icons which deliver the sense of electricity and brutality experienced whilst watching the sport. These high end graphics have been combined with animations and sound effects to provide a fully immersive experience.
Every aspect of ice hockey is represented on the reels. These icons include flaming hockey pucks, players, sticks, skates, ice cleaners, hockey rinks, masks and even referees to name but a few. Each one is animated whilst some set the reel alight, quite literally.
Betting Options and More Functions
Wagers are kept to a sensible level with thanks to a 0.01 to 0.10 line bet. This means the minimum bet is 0.50 and the maximum is $50 with all bets spinning every 243 ways to win.
Break Away Slot Features
The Break Away logo not only represents the slot but also appears on reels 2, 3 and 4 as a stacked wild. You can effectively have 40 of these stacked wilds appear on screen at any one time which means plenty more chances to create profitable combos.
Opposing hockey players can also award wild, but in this instance they are smashing wilds. When two players appear on reels 2, 3 or 4 the smashing wild feature is activated and you are guaranteed a winning combination.
Have you ever imagine smashing a puck so hard that it catches on fire? Well, this could be a reality because the fiery puck can appear on reels 2, 3 or 5. If this happens a feature is triggered which can net you up to 25 free spins with rolling reels. This epic feature can deliver an array of multipliers, plus added rolling wins up to 10x the regular paytable value.
Our Take on Break Away
There's plenty of reasons to praise Break Away and the only reel reason you may dislike it is if you hate sports, or hockey.
Considering everything this colorful and amusing slot has to offer, it's no wonder it has been so much anticipated among both players and industry observers. It's surely going to provide everyone with premium entertainment and rewarding gameplay, at the same time enabling all those sports fans to enjoy two of their favorite pastimes at the same time.
