Broken Ballerina slot review
A music box plays as long as the gears inside keep turning, and every turn carries the melody further. In GameArt's Broken Ballerina, the Infinity Gears cascades work the same way: while wins keep coming, the gears drop in new symbols and the multiplier climbs. The big idea: a run of cascades lifts the multiplier to x4 in the base game and to x12 in free spins.
The score: 5x3, 20 fixed paylines, RTP 96.04%, medium volatility. There are Infinity Gears cascades, the Swan Lake mini-game and Broken Ballerina Dance Free Spins, up to 12 spins with a multiplier of up to x12.
How do the gears move the reels?
The symbols here don't spin; they click into place like parts of a clockwork mechanism. After a win, the symbols fade and the gears drop in new ones. The chain continues as long as wins keep landing, with the multiplier rising at each step, up to x4 in the base game.
The Wild Rose lands only on reels 2, 3 and 4 and replaces every symbol except those that trigger features.
What's on the ballet's programme?
Besides the cascades, there are two bonuses.
🎼 Swan Lake Mini-Game
- Triggered when 3 or more Swan Lake symbols land in succession.
- You pick one of three music boxes, each hiding a random coin prize.
- The prize is multiplied by the ballerina's number of twirls, up to 12.
💗 Broken Ballerina Dance Free Spins
- 3 or more Sophie's Heart symbols award up to 12 free spins.
- During free spins, you collect Missing Gears, which activate a multiplier of up to x12.
- Cascades in free spins push the multiplier up to x12.
How does 96.04% RTP sound?
96.04% RTP and medium volatility. Mechanically, everything rests on cascade length: the longer the chain, the higher the multiplier. In free spins its ceiling is three times higher than in the base game: x12 versus x4.
Perfect pirouette
- Cascades raise the multiplier for as long as wins continue.
- In free spins, the multiplier reaches x12.
- A mini-game with a music box pick and a multiplier of up to 12.
Missed step
- The base game multiplier tops out at x4.
- The wild never lands on reels 1 and 5.
- The mini-game needs Swan Lake symbols to land in succession.
