How to cite

Slot Summary

By 2023, the hockey rink had become the setting for Pragmatic Play's Hockey Bonanza, a slot that translates scoring into successive symbol drops. Its sports identity accompanies a sharper distinction between ordinary play and the bonus: multiplier values can carry through free spins, making a later scoring result depend on what the round has already collected.

How It Plays

A winning group disappears from the grid and replacement symbols drop into the empty positions. Another qualifying result continues the same tumble sequence without requiring another paid spin.

When the tumble sequence finishes, multiplier symbols still present have their values added together. That combined value applies to the sequence's accumulated winnings rather than a single symbol combination.

Bonus & Free Spins

At least 4 scatters trigger 15 free spins. Multiplier symbols collected on winning results increase the bonus's running multiplier, and a later winning result with a new multiplier symbol uses the accumulated value. The total does not reset between free spins.

How this works

Each simulated spin either misses or returns a win drawn from a log-normal distribution, with the hit rate and spread set by the slot's volatility tier (High). The model is calibrated so the average return equals this slot's published RTP (96.50%), with wins capped at its top multiplier (5,000×).

This is a simplified, parametric model of the game's math — not its real paytable. It exists to make the house edge visible over many sessions, so the numbers above are averages across thousands of runs, never a forecast of one.

This is math, not a prediction. Real sessions vary wildly, and no strategy changes a game's built-in house edge. Play for fun, set limits, and never bet more than you can afford to lose.
