Ice Hockey Action on Reels
Core Gameplay Overview
Key details
Break Away is an online slot game developed by Microgaming, now part of the Games Global portfolio, designed around an ice hockey theme. This video slot features five reels and three rows, providing players with 243 ways to win, paying left to right on adjacent reels.

Winning Combinations and Rolling Reels
Players form wins by landing at least three matching symbols on consecutive reels starting from the left. When a winning combination occurs, the Rolling Reels mechanic activates by removing the winning symbols, allowing new symbols to fall into the vacant spaces. This process can repeat multiple times on a single spin, generating consecutive wins and enhancing winning potential.
Unique Slot Mechanics and Bonuses
Feature Breakdown
Break Away includes several distinctive features that expand gameplay excitement. Players can also try the Break Away demo mode when available at licensed Canadian operators to experience these features without wagering real money.
Rolling Reels and Multipliers During Free Spins
After each winning chain, symbols that form winning combinations vanish, triggering the Rolling Reels to deliver new symbols. While Rolling Reels are active, consecutive wins increase a multiplier during the Free Spins feature, multiplying payouts on subsequent wins. However, Rolling Reels do not activate during the Smashing Wild feature.
Smashing Wild Feature
A unique Smashing Wild feature can randomly trigger when a win is guaranteed. A hockey player symbol smashes onto reel 2, 3, or 4, turning the entire reel wild. This wild substitutes for all symbols except the scatter and can significantly boost chances of forming winning lines.
- Wilds appear stacked on reels 3, 4, and 5 as the Break Away logo symbol.
- Smashing Wild replaces a whole reel with wild symbols randomly to increase wins.
Free Spins Triggered by Scatter Symbols
Landing 3, 4, or 5 Flaming Puck scatter symbols anywhere on the reels activates 15, 20, or 25 Free Spins respectively. The bet used for the triggering spin applies to the entire free-spin round. During Free Spins, Rolling Reels multipliers can multiply consecutive wins to increase the total payout.
