Break Away Max

Break Away Max adds the Megaways engine and a bigger screen to the popular ice hockey series Break Away. Spotlit rinks and cheering crowds bring the arena atmosphere to life, and it was released on November 15, 2023.

What changed from the original Break Away?

The biggest change is the introduction of the Megaways engine and a screen enlarged to 6 reels. The number of symbols changes from 2 to 7 per reel, and when all reels show 7, the ways to win grow to 117,649. The fast pace of the simpler earlier series is kept intact. If you’re curious about the whole series, you can find it in the Microgaming slots list.

When does the Smashing Wild appear?

This is a feature that triggers randomly in the base game. A hockey player slides onto the screen and hits one of the middle reels, turning that entire reel wild and guaranteeing a win on that spin. This wild reel stays locked during the following Rolling Reels, making it easier to link symbols on the outer reels. The biggest appeal of this feature is that a guaranteed win can happen even in the base game.

How do free spins and the multiplier trail work?

When 3 or more scatters land, you get 12 free spins. The multiplier trail at the top of the screen goes up one step with each cascade win, and it doesn’t reset when the spin changes. That’s why the key point is that multipliers built early in the round carry through to the end. Because multipliers accumulate as free spins go on, the anticipation grows toward the later part of the round.

What is the Growing Wild feature?

This is a feature that only appears in free spins. Stacked wilds drop onto the middle reel and get longer as the spins go on. Toward the end of the round, the center of the screen fills with wilds more easily, a structure that makes it easy to build combinations when the multiplier is at its highest. The multiplier trail and Growing Wilds both lend a hand in the same round.

What should I look at first?

RTP is 96.59% and volatility is medium. Start by checking the paytable and the Megaways reel structure that changes every spin on the info screen. Then see how Smashing Wilds and the free spins multiplier trail connect, and the game’s flow gets easy to grasp. It also helps to get used to the chain reaction where winning symbols disappear in Rolling Reels and new symbols drop in.
