About Break Away

This ice hockey themed game promises big payout possibilities with its five reels, three rows and 243 pay lines where you can make a bet between 0.50 and 50.00 coins.

With the photorealistic graphics, fantastic animations and realistic sounds, you will feel like a spectator at a real game of ice hockey.
Special Features
For this ice hockey themed game, the developers have used a lot of things associated with the popular sport to immerse players in this experience. They have used various players in different team jerseys, ice skates, helmets, ice rinks and referees. Although the theme is executed quite nicely, the graphics make the game seem a little dated.
Bonus Features
While the game may not offer anything in animations and graphics, it will certainly pique the player’s interests in its winning potential. In addition to the usual scatter and wild bonuses, this game has a few tricks that other slots do not have.
The scatter icon is represented by a flaming hockey puck. Like in other video slots, if it’s triggered, players will get free spins. These scatters can be found in the second, third and fourth reels and offer up to 25 free spins. Players can claim a multiplier of up to 10.
The wild icon is the Break Away logo. It can replace any icon in the game except for the scatter and appear up to 40 times. They usually appear in the second, third and fourth reels. If you can accumulate the wild icon 40 times in one sitting, consider yourself lucky as it triggers other features in the game play.
The smashing wilds feature can triggered randomly when you play, which can turn the entire reel into wilds. When activated, you will see hockey players smash into the reels and are essentially a guaranteed win from this. It essentially kicks this feature into overdrive that gives players more opportunities to win big. This part of the game makes it realistic in terms of creating an atmosphere of being in a real hockey game.
The stacked wilds act as a mega wild. This means that should you have a winning combination, that combination will disappear and is taken over by the next set of icons that will follow it. This procedure will continue until there are no more winning combinations are left.
