A short story from the game world
A goalie in red catches a puck that is still on fire, and the ice under his skates refuses to melt. The arena lights flicker once, in approval.
Break Away Max brings the series onto a Megaways grid: six reels with up to 117,649 ways, where the number of symbols on each reel changes from spin to spin and the ways count moves with it. The cover shows a goalie in red catching a puck that is still on fire, with motion blur used so the shot reads as fast without the frame turning into noise.
Free spins are listed on the official page; their trigger and any multiplier or reel changes during the round are not described. Since the ways count varies on every spin, it helps to run a few dozen spins in the demo and watch how often the grid opens up to its larger shapes.
Its 10,000× cap is the largest published in the Break Away family, paired with high volatility, an RTP of 96.00% and bets from 0.20 to 100.00. The RTP is also the lowest in the family, though only by a small margin. As with the other later Break Away titles, no release date is published.
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.
- Built as a ways to win game on 6 reels and 117,649 ways. 420 titles here share this format, so it is a well-covered one to learn from.
- Its published RTP of 96% sits 0.20 points below the 96.2% median of the other 384 ways to win games here. RTP is a long-run theoretical figure, not a per-session one.
- The studio grades it high volatility, which 42% of ways to win games here share. Volatility describes the spread of outcomes, not how often a result arrives.
- The stated win cap is 10,000×, around the middle of the range for this family (median 9,648×). A cap is a rulebook limit, not an expected outcome.
- Its artwork reads as sports, 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.
- You are comfortable with long quiet stretches — a high volatility label means results are spread wide by design, not that they come more often.
- You want to understand ways-to-win — matches count on adjacent reels wherever they land, so the grid is read by route, not by line.
- You are curious about top-heavy designs — the published ceiling is 10,000×. It is a rulebook limit, not an expectation.
- You want to try before reading further — the studio's own demo runs on this page with play money only.
