Break Away review
Few official details survive for Break Away, a Microgaming release from May 2015. The studio page lists its RTP, volatility, bet limits and maximum exposure, but no rules, features or theme description. Rather than fill the gaps with guesswork, this review covers what those figures say about the game and how it compares with the eight later titles that carry the Break Away name.
What the studio publishes
According to the Microgaming page, Break Away launched on 6 May 2015. It has an RTP of 96.29% and a High volatility rating. Bets run from $0.50 to $250 per spin.
The page does not describe the grid, the paylines, the wilds or any bonus round. Without that, there is no fact-based way to explain how a spin pays, so this review does not try.
Reading the max win figure
No max win is published as a multiple of the stake. The studio page gives 528,525 as the game's maximum exposure in US dollars, which is a cash limit on a payout rather than a multiplier. For scale, 100 spins at $1 put $100 through the game and cost $3.71 on average at the listed RTP.
Until the studio publishes a multiplier, the safer reading is that the game's largest payout is capped at $528,525 in total, regardless of stake. Either way, it is a rare ceiling, not a target.
RTP, edge and cost
The 96.29% RTP leaves a house edge of 3.71%. Over a long run that is about $37.10 kept for every $1,000 wagered.
A hundred spins at $1 cost $3.71 on average, and a hundred at $5 cost $18.55. With a High rating, sessions can drift a long way from those averages in either direction, which is why the bet size matters more than usual.
The Break Away series
Eight later games share the name, and their numbers vary widely. Break Away Deluxe lists 96.88% and 3,200x, Break Away Max 96.59% and 10,000x, and Break Away Ultra 96.73%. Break Away Lucky Wilds lists 96.89% at Very high volatility.
At the other end, Break Away Shootout lists 95.21% and 24,200x. Break Away Gold (96.13%, Medium, 5,000x), Break Away Deluxe - Triple Pots (96.1%, 10,000x) and Break Away Candy Link and Merge (96.12%) complete the set. Football Star, outside the series, shares the 96.29% RTP and High rating. Two other High-rated games publish a cap: Kong’s Jungle Tower lists 96.3% with 5,000x, and Brainwashed lists 96.28% with 20,000x.

- Eight series titles to compare by the numbers
Cons

Verdict
Break Away is a 2015 Microgaming slot that can only be judged on its numbers here: a 96.29% RTP, High volatility and bets from $0.50 to $250. No max win multiplier is published; the studio caps a payout at $528,525. Several series titles list higher returns. If you play it, set a firm budget, since the High rating means wide swings around the 3.71% house edge.
