SYMBOLS
The reel symbols which are encountered in the Break Bones game include the ‘W’ icon, a bone-shaped diamond icon, a lime artefact, a blue and purple skull, a golden skull, and royal symbols. The symbols encountered on the reels are all bones, like human skulls and skeleton hands among others.
BONUSES
- Wild: The bone-shaped ‘W’ icon acts as the standard substituting symbol. This symbol does have the powers of substituting for all symbols both the high-value and low-value icons. However, the standard wild can be substituted by the skeleton hand icon.
- Scatter: The skeleton hand acts as the scatter symbol.
- Wild Multipliers and Global Multiplier: At random during gameplay, the standard wild may appear as a wild multiplier. When one or more wild multipliers feature in a winning combination, their multiplier value is added to the global multiplier. Wild multipliers come with varying multiplier values ranging from 2x to 100x.
- Echospins: The echospins feature activates when players land the skeleton hand scatter on a winning spin. The hand will reveal the number of echospins awarded to the player. Players can win between 1 and 5 echospins. The values of all wild multipliers that land during this round are added to the global multiplier. Subsequently, the global multiplier will be applied to all wins won during this round. At the end of the echospins, the global multiplier resets.
- Bones Game: Three skeleton hand scatters landing on the reels simultaneously help trigger the bones game. Upon the activation of the bones game, players scoop 10 free spins. During the free spins, the chances of landing the skeleton hand scatter hence triggering the echospins are significantly enhanced.
- Buy Bonus: Break Bones comes with a buy bonus option that allows players to gain direct access to the bones game. Players need to pay the stipulated price to get a guarantee of triggering the bones game on the next paid spin.
WAYS TO WIN
CLOSING
Break Bones is a slot which seems to have an obsession with the number ‘3’. First, it comes with three reels. Second, it comes with three rows. Well, third, its max payout is pegged at 3,333x the bet which can be won on any spin at random. Overall this is an average game IMHO, we have reviewed many better slots from Hacksaw so this one is a bit disappointing.
