Hockey Hero is an online video slot from the software provider Realtime Gaming. The symbols on the reels are taken from the sport of ice hockey and include goalkeeper, referee, trophy, puck, skates, mask, peanuts and beer. The player is the wild symbol and doubles payouts. The penalty box awards scatter payouts and triggers the free spins feature. The rhino mask awards the top line payout of 10,000 coins. In the free spins round you start with 18 free spins. Every third spin, a clock symbol replaces one of the regular symbols. The number of clock symbols keeps increasing. If two or more of them appear on the reels at the same time the bonus round ends prematurely. Hockey Hero also has some popular Realtime Gaming features that are randomly triggered progressive jackpots and the Win Win Feature.

Break Away has the popular Microgaming 243 ways to win structure. It is made more awesome by the Rolling Reels feature. Symbols in winning combinations disappear and are replaced by new ones. If new winning combinations are formed then the process repeats itself. The Break Away logo is the wild symbol and it can appear stacked on reels 3, 4 and 5. In the Smashing Wild feature one of the central three reels can turn into a wild reel. The flaming puck is the scatter symbol, which also triggers the free spins bonus. You can win up to 25 free spins. Consecutive wins in the same free spin are paid out with increasing multipliers.

The players of one team pay left to right and the players of the other team pay right to left. Players from the same team also pay out in mixed combinations. The wild symbol is the goal and it also awards the largest line payout of 10,000 coins. 12 free spins are triggered when the flag of the same team appears simultaneously on reels 1 and 5. The ice hockey puck is the bonus symbol and it triggers an ingenious bonus game.
