Break Away Gold is a video slot released by Microgaming on June 24, 2025. This title is a revamped sequel to the popular Break Away slot, inspired by the world of ice hockey. The Gold version maintains the sporting essence of the original game, but incorporates new features and visual improvements that adapt it to the most modern standards of iGaming. The game features a traditional 5-reel, 3-row structure with 20 fixed paylines, meaning that all paylines are active on every spin. This ensures that the player always has the maximum number of opportunities to form winning combinations without having to set up anything else. Its design and mechanics are optimized to offer a fast paced, action-packed experience, ideal for those who enjoy sports themed slots with high visual energy.
Break Away Gold is completely set in a professional hockey game. From the start, players are immersed in an ice stadium with vibrant lights, fan-packed stands and a fierce competitive atmosphere. The background music is intense, with realistic sound effects such as ice skates gliding, pucks and roaring of the crowd, all perfectly synchronized with the game’s actions.
The visual aesthetic uses cool blue, white and silver tones that reinforce the feeling of being on an ice rink. The reels are framed with metallic details and bright graphics, while symbols are animated with dynamic effects whenever they form winning combinations or activate special features. Overall, the theme achieves a complete audiovisual immersion that transports the player directly to an adrenaline-charged hockey match.
Regular symbols
They include:
Hockey players in different poses (goalkeeper, forward, defender).
Ice skates, protective helmet and zamboni (ice cleaning machine).
Stylized card symbols (10, J, Q, K, A) with metallic effects, representing the lowest value icons.
Winning combinations are formed from left to right on the paylines, and the value of each symbol varies, with players awarding the highest winnings.
Wild (wild symbol)
The Wild in this game can appear individually or in stacks (stacked). Its main function is to replace any regular symbol, helping complete winning combinations. In addition, you can contribute to advanced features such as multipliers or activation of winning chains during free spins.
At random moments in the base game, the special Smashing Wild feature can be activated, where a hockey player jumps over the reels and turns one of them into a fully Wild reel, generating great winning opportunities.
Scatter (Burning hockey disc)
The Scatter is represented by a hockey disc wrapped in fire. It is the key symbol for activating bonus features. When you drop 3, 4 or 5 Scatters anywhere on the reels, the free spins feature is unlocked, with different amounts of spins depending on the amount of Scatters obtained:
3 Scatters = 15 free spins
4 Scatters = 20 free spins
5 Scatters = 25 free spins
The estimated RTP of Break Away Gold is approximately 96.42%, which puts it within the standard for modern slots. This percentage represents the theoretical long-term return to the player, which means that in theory 96.42 coins are returned for every 100 wagered, although this may vary in the short term.
