Break Bones Slot Review

Break Bones Slot RTP, Details & Wager Limits

The Break Bones slot is played on 3 reels, 3 rows and 17 fixed paylines. Simply land 3 identical symbols on adjacent reels from left to right starting with the leftmost reel to form a winning combination.

You can spin away from 10p to £100 per spin. Look out for the ‘Bet’ box below the reels. Use the up and down arrows to adjust your bet accordingly. Players outside the UK have a few options when spinning. Firstly, there’s an Autoplay function where you can choose 10 to 1,000 autospins as well as the option to add loss and single win limits. Then you have Turbo and Super Turbo Mode for quicker spins.

The Break Bones RTP is 96.22% which is in line with other Hacksaw Gaming slots as well as above the 96% average for an online slot game. Be aware there is also a 94.12% RTP version so make sure you check which one you’re playing at your chosen slot site in the UK.

Break Bones offers max payouts of 3,333 x your total bet. This payout potential is usually 10,000 x bet for a Hacksaw slot. This is offset by the lower volatility which is in the medium bracket (3/5).

Theme – sticks and stone may break your bones

With a skulls and chaos theme, the Break Bones slot is quite a sight visually. With neon style graphics, it has a horror feel to it. Stylistically, it’s similar to Undead Fortune. Inspired by the Sticks and Stones children’s rhyme, the soundtrack is surprisingly rather chilled.

On the reels, you will see A, K, Q and J royals as well as 4 different coloured skulls. The blue and green skull is the best paying symbol with 3 in combination awarding 4 x your total bet.

Then you have the W Wild symbol which is essentially the letter W made up of bones. This substitutes for all symbols above. 3 of these across a payline will pay 4 x your total bet. You will also see Skeleton Hand and Bones Game scatters. With only 1 Skeleton Hand scatter landing at the time, it substitutes for all paying symbols (bar the Wild).

Break Bones Bonus Features

The Break Bones slot benefits from 4 bonus features. Wilds can contain multipliers up to 100x. If multiple Wild Multipliers land on a payline, their values are added to the Global Multiplier which applies to your wins. The EchoSpins feature gives respins which are the same as the triggering spin. However, Wild Multipliers are added on every EchoSpin. Finally there’s the Bones Game feature where you get 10 free spins with a higher chance of landing the EchoSpins feature.

Wild and Global Multipliers feature

The W Wild symbol has the chance of landing as a Wild Multiplier symbol. Wild Multipliers can have a value of 2x, 3x, 4x, 5x, 10x, 25x, 50x or 100x.

When 1 or more Wild Multiplier symbols land together on a payline, the multiplier values are added to the Global Multiplier on top of the reels. This Global Multiplier multiplies all wins on the current spin. This is known as the Wild and Global Multipliers feature.

EchoSpins feature

The EchoSpins feature basically awards a special type of respins where each spin is a copy of the triggering spin. When the Skeleton Hand scatter lands together with at least 1 winning payline, you will be rewarded with 1 to 5 EchoSpins. The number you’ll receive is represented by the number of fingers the Skeleton Hand is holding up.

All Wild Multipliers on the reels are added again to the Global Multiplier on every spin. The Global Multiplier then resets once the EchoSpins feature has ended.

Bones Game feature

The Bones Game feature is triggered by land 3 Bones Game scatters simultaneously on a base game spin. With 10 free spins awarded, you have a much better chance of landing a Skeleton Hand scatter which in turn activates the EchoSpins feature. You also have a higher probability of winning more EchoSpins that in the base game.

Finally, there is a Buy Bonus feature which is available outside the UK. You can basically buy your way into the Bones Game feature for 80 x your total bet. As a result, the RTP increases up to 96.34%.

Break Bones Review Summary – simpler + less volatile version of the Itero slot

Visually, the Break Bones slot follows to same pattern stylistically as other Hacksaw Gaming titles such as Born Wild and Outlaws Inc. Graphically, it’s pretty simple but appealing if you like their approach.

In terms of the gameplay, this game is a simpler version of Itero. Wild Multipliers can reach up to 100x when multiple Wild Multipliers seeing the values added to the Global Multiplier above the reels. The EchoSpins feature sees you repeat the same spin essentially with Wild Multipliers added on every respin. In Itero though, there multiplicative multipliers as opposed to just additive multipliers in Break Bones.

The Bonus Game feature gives you 10 free spins with a higher chance of triggering the EchoSpins feature. This is where the bigger payouts of up to 3,333 x bet will come from. Itero has the added Gift from the Gods feature.

To conclude, the Break Bones slot is a simpler version of Itero. With lower win potential (3 times lower precisely), the volatility is noticeably lower (medium) whereas it’s very high in the predecessor.
