One-line verdict

Low-angle heroic framing that most sports slots reach for and few land this cleanly.

A Microgaming slot with sports, hockey themes. This entry explains its listed format only; it does not promote play.

A short story from the game world

A player lifts a trophy in an arena where the lights have been left on just for him. Somewhere in the stands, the rink crew is still packing up.

How the game plays

Break Away Gold frames its hockey theme as a victory scene: a player hoists a trophy under arena lights left on just for him while the rink crew packs up in the stands, all shot from a low, heroic angle. The reels drop the original's ways format for five reels and 20 fixed lines.

Free spins are confirmed on the official page, with no detail on how many are awarded or what is added during them. No other features are named, so the free spins round and any modifiers inside it are the part to inspect on the demo's rules page.

Volatility is published as medium to high, the softest rating among the Break Away games, with an RTP of 96.13%, a 5,000× cap and stakes from 0.20 to 100.00. That combination sits between the steadier and swingier ends of the series. No release date appears in the data.

Why Microgaming

Microgaming effectively wrote the grammar of the online slot, and that depth still shows in every corner of the screen. The silhouette of a single symbol, the order of a paytable, the cue that marks a change of state — nothing here is left half-finished. Almost no other studio carries decades of formats, from classic three-reel machines to 117,649-way Maxways boards, in one library without the design language coming apart. If you are studying how these games are built, this is the most reliable text you can read.

Reading the published specification
  • Built as a fixed paylines game on 5 reels and 20 paylines. 1,128 titles here share this format, so it is a well-covered one to learn from.
  • Its published RTP of 96.13% sits 0.13 points below the 96.26% median of the other 1,099 fixed paylines games here. RTP is a long-run theoretical figure, not a per-session one.
  • The stated win cap is 5,000×, around the middle of the range for this family (median 5,000×). A cap is a rulebook limit, not an expected outcome.
  • Its artwork reads as sports, wealth, which is how it is grouped for the structure-match panel below.
  • A studio-published play-money demo is embedded above, as it is for 116 other Microgaming titles here.

Microgaming does not publish volatility for this title, so that field is left empty rather than estimated.

A good fit if you…
  • You like to judge a game yourself — the studio does not publish a volatility label here, so a logged demo session is the only way to get a feel for it.
  • You want to practise reading a paytable — every payout here traces back to a fixed line or a standard reel set.
  • You want to try before reading further — the studio's own demo runs on this page with play money only.
