Our take
6×5 hockey-themed Pragmatic Play with cascading reels, free spins, and 5000× max win—high volatility.
Hockey Bonanza is a reskin of Gates of Aztec, which itself was a remake of Pragmatic Play's Gates of Olympus franchise. The studio has extracted proven mechanics and transplanted hockey aesthetics—a valid approach when the underlying engine works.
The 6×5 grid is larger than standard, offering expanded symbol real estate. Cascading reels are the primary feature: winning symbols vanish, new ones drop, and cascades continue until no fresh matches form. This creates momentum, especially during free-spin bonuses where multipliers can compound across multiple cascades.
At 96.50% RTP and high volatility, Hockey Bonanza suits players with larger bankrolls and patience for dry spells. Cascading reels accelerate variance; a single cascade can spawn three or four consecutive matches, or none at all. The hockey theming is clean but functional—hockey fans will appreciate the player artwork; others will see a Pragmatic Play template with hockey trim.
Max-win potential reaches 5000×, and free spins can retrigger, creating rare but memorable payouts.
