Break Away Gold

Break Away Gold is the latest entry in Microgaming’s ice hockey series, a slot with a championship atmosphere where the trophy, pucks, and even the jerseys are decked out in gold. It was released on June 25, 2025.

How is Break Away Gold different from earlier games in the series?

Instead of the cascading reels found in some earlier titles, it returns to a traditional line format with 5 reels, 3 rows, and 20 fixed paylines. In their place, the medal collection meter and four fixed jackpots take center stage. It’s a fresh golden version of the long-running hockey series from Microgaming slots.

How does medal collection work?

Medal symbols that appear during spins build up on a dedicated meter beside the screen. When the meter is full, you either receive an instant cash prize or enter the jackpot pick feature. It gives a sense that something is building even during stretches without big wins, and it keeps working during free spins. The staging, with arena lights, ice, and golden decorations, is also flashier than in earlier titles.

How does the jackpot work?

There are four fixed jackpots: Mini, Minor, Major, and Grand. They aren’t progressive; they’re calculated as set multiples of your current bet, so they change automatically when you change your bet. They can be triggered through certain wild combinations or medal collection, and they carry more weight in free spins. Checking how full the meter is from time to time makes it easier to anticipate the next reward.

How many free spins are awarded?

Three or more scatters start free spins, and you get 8 to 15 spins depending on the scatter count. In this mode, stacked wilds appear much more often and random multipliers are frequently attached; when several multipliers apply to one win, they are added together. Medal collection also carries over. Jackpot values change with your bet, so check the current values on the info screen.

What should I look at first?

RTP is 96.13% and volatility is medium. Line wins, the medal meter, and free spins all run together, so it helps to first check where the meter sits and the names of the four jackpots. Also look at the routes of the 20 paylines in the paytable. The more scatters you land, the more rounds you get, so the opening moments are worth watching.
