Break Away Deluxe slot review
Break Away Deluxe is an ice hockey slot developed by Stormcraft Studios and released by Microgaming in July 2019. It swaps the original Break Away layout for a five-by-five grid where you choose 18, 38, 68 or 88 paylines, and Rolling Reels let a single spin pay more than once. The maximum win is 3,200x the stake.

How Break Away Deluxe plays
The first Break Away used five reels of three rows and 243 ways. The Deluxe edition rebuilds that idea on a taller grid with paylines you set yourself, so the line count you pick decides both the cost of a spin and how many patterns are covered. Whatever you choose, each paying combination is cleared away and fresh symbols drop into the gaps, which means one spin can keep paying until no new line forms.
- Rolling Reels: winning symbols disappear and replacements fall in, giving the chance of several wins in a row.
- Smashing Wild: at random, a player charges across the ice and turns one of the three middle reels fully wild, which creates a win. That wild reel then stays put while the following rolls play out.
- Scatters: these are what open the bonus round described below.
Free spins with a multiplier trail
Three or more scatters anywhere on the grid award 12 free spins. The round brings in a multiplier trail that can climb as high as 8x, so later wins in the sequence can be worth noticeably more than the same line in the base game. Wilds can also grow during the feature, adding extra wild positions to the reels as the spins go on.
Because the Rolling Reels keep working inside the bonus, a single free spin can chain several wins together under the current multiplier. Because the round lasts 12 spins, the multiplier trail is the part to watch.
