By Simon Wright, Last updated Mar 1, 2021

July has been a fairly busy month for Microgaming, who have released several slot games, but they are not finished quite yet as they announce the release of Break Away Deluxe.

Developed by Stormcraft Studios, the independent studio behind the hit titles Fortunium, Agent Jane Blonde Returns and Dragon Shard.

With 13, 38, 68 or 88 paylines to choose to play, Break Away Deluxe features ‘Rolling Reels’ and has been developed for those playing on mobile handsets in mind. Released on Tuesday 23rd July, this ice hockey themed slot machine is the sequel to the original Break Away slot.

Scoring in the base game is easy with super stacked wilds appearing on reels three, four and five. Returning in an enhanced form, the Smashing Wild™ feature randomly turns one of the three middle reels wild for a guaranteed win, and freezes in place for all subsequent rolls.

Director of Global Operations at Microgaming, James Buchanan, said of Break Away Deluxe: “Break Away Deluxe takes all the action of the phenomenally popular original slot, layering it up with even more exciting and rewarding features.”

“Stormcraft Studios have successfully created a high volatility slot experience, with excellent win potential up to 3,200x the initial bet. We’re looking forward to seeing fans and new players alike immerse themselves in this engrossing update of a true Microgaming classic.”

Terence Igesund, the Executive Producer at Stormcraft Studios, commented: “We are really looking forward to the wider launch of Break Away Deluxe, the next generation of the very successful slot brand. Designing a sequel to a popular game is always challenging as expectations from fans of the original game need to be considered.”

“At Stormcraft, we believe that successful sequels are not reinventions but carefully considered extensions. So, we set out to enhance the user experience with more choices for the player as well as increased excitement by extending the volatility.”

“The Rolling Reels™ and Multiplier trail are still there but can now be enjoyed in a new reel configuration with the addition of Growing Wilds™ during the Free Spins feature. Designed with portrait mobile play in mind, the new mechanics are highly entertaining and offers great win potential.”
