Break Bones

Break Bonus is another instalment in Hacksaw Gaming's 3x3 Spins series, which follows on fromFruit Duel. Like Fruit Duel, it is a sort of mish-mash of components brought in from other larger games, then put through a juicer and squeezed onto a reduced playing area. Where Fruit Duel mixed Hacksaw Gaming's interest in fruit with gameplay from slots likeGladiator LegendsandWarrior Ways, Break Bones gets its inspiration from entirely different sources. Visually, Break Bones has that sort of juxtaposition of grey urban concrete and bright colours the studio likes to draw on. They do it well, too, and this method of ocular delivery fits the rebellious attitude these games tend to come with. That punky, skull, 80s vintage skater vibe, like a bunch of Santa Cruz, Powel Peralta, Vision Skateboard stickers plastered all over the back window of a beat-up station wagon. The approach works as effectively in Break Bones as it has anywhere else, and it's kind of interesting that no one has so far really 'borrowed' the look. For now, it's Hacksaw Gaming's baby. On the gaming side of things, Break Bones is like the little brother, sister, or cousin, to the thought-provoking slotIterowith EchoSpins taking the center stage, preferably with multipliers. However, reducing the grid size has, in some ways, reduced EchoSpins' overall effectiveness, yet they can still be fun when they are repeating wins from the past while boosting them with an increasing Global Multiplier. Winning potential isn't as impressive as Hacksaw Gaming slots tend to offer, this one topping the scales at3,333x the bet. Good for superstitious players who like the number three, we guess. There is a sense Hacksaw Gaming achieved everything it set out to achieve with Break Bones. It's like a recap of earlier works, rolled together and compressed to fit onto a 3-reel gaming panel. Again, Break Bones was unlikely to be intended as a showpiece game, but for a pacey, simplified version of the EchoSpins with a Global Multiplier concept which is arguably easier to dip in and out of than Itero, with a whole lot of skulls, it's worth a look.
