Personal testers’ opinion about the Break Away Slot
Break Away is one uncomplex slot, perfectly attuned with its graphics, sounds, and symbols to show the spirit of the game. Even though the paytable is not particularly generous, the avalanche mechanics are working well on this 243 lines ice breaker, providing small but consecutive wins in the frame of the same spin.
- Despite the wagering index of 5.11 (out of 10), which is right on the middle line, the Break Away Slot machine seems to agree with keeping the balance on a decent level (via minimum stakes, of course); therefore, we incline on positive advice for the bonus hunters.
- Because of the imperfect prize pool division, 80% set apart for the usual spins, and 20% for the bonus spins, it is logical that the most significant wins are expected to happen in the base game.
- Meanwhile, the scoring (hitting any win) frequency is quite fair here – 31.17%, i.e. every 3rd spin should carry some payout. Unfortunately, we cannot say the same for triggering the Free Spins feature. That happens only after 195 spins (0.51%), which is certainly a disappointing figure.
- We should not forget to mention that the ultimate reward from the game is 525000 CAD, i.e. only 2100x the total bet (doesn’t match the smashing- ice-war sport), yet it corresponds nicely to the variance here.
Bonus Features
- Stacked Wilds – The game logo appears on reels 3, 4, and 5 and comes as piled-up Wilds. There is a possibility of a maximum of 40 Stacked Wilds appearing at once.
- Smashing Wilds – When 2 opposing hockey players can randomly crash with each other, creating bursting Wilds to appear on reels 2, 3, or 4. The Smashing Wild feature provides a guaranteed win.
- Free Spins – 3, 4, or 5 Scatters (Hockey puck on fire) awards with 15, 20, or 25 Free Spins respectively. Here too, rolling reels (avalanche mode) will contribute with consecutive wins, and the Multiplier can hike up to 10x.
