What we think about the Breaking Bad slot
"Branded slots don’t always get the positive critical reception they deserve – this one could rewrite that script"
Is Breaking Bad the right game for you?
Fifteen years after the US show Breaking Bad first graced TV screens across the world, Playtech has released the Breaking Bad online slot, a 30-line slot game with one of the most recognisable themes ever made.
Fans of the show (i.e. anyone who has watched it) will almost certainly have fun when they play Breaking Bad online, but what of those weird and wonderful people who didn’t tune in to see Walter White make suboptimal life choices?
The characters and references in this slot are so distinctive that I would say it’s ideal for show fans, but less so for the rest. That doesn’t mean the Breaking Bad online slot is lacking in other areas, and the selection of bonus features makes it worth a spin, whatever your appetite for prime-time network TV.
There’s no Breaking Bad demo as I write this, but you can play it for 10p a spin, and you get money back on every spin with OJOplus.
It’s a fairly high volatility game with a combination of relatively modest fixed jackpots (500x being the largest) and wins of 1,000x too. There are plenty of Playtech games with similar features, and with higher prizes on offer, so this one will really carve a place for itself in the slots collection because of its theme.
Game features
Heisenberg Wilds
The Walter White character is the perfect choice as the wild symbol, and as well as substituting for all normal symbols, they often come stacked in twos or threes.
Cash Collect & Link
The Cash Collect symbol is the key to everything good that happens when you play the Breaking Bad slot online. It enables you to collect the value of all coins on screen, as well as one of the 4 fixed jackpots above the reels.
If you land a Link symbol as well, you trigger the Heisenberg Cash Collect feature, 3 free spins with the possibility of retriggers. If you land the Mega Link, the prizes get bigger.
Free Games
Pair the Cash Collect symbol with any Pollos Hermanos symbol and you’ll be awarded free games with semi-sticky Cash Collect symbols, that stay for 3 spins.
Magnet bonus
When I played this Breaking Bad online slot, the feature I saw most frequently (after the Cash Collect and coins) was the Magnet, a nudge bonus that boosts your chances of triggering a bonus feature.
Other games you might like
Walking Dead Cash Collect
Breaking Bad was first aired on AMC in the US, and another show that became a hit on the channel was Walking Dead, one of the best zombie apocalypse tales I’ve seen. Playtech turned that into a superb slot game, and you can try it for free at PlayOJO, if you’ve got a verified account.
Game of Thrones Power Stacks
If you’re looking for another iconic, character-driven slots experience with fixed jackpots, collect-style features, look no further than Slingshot’s Game of Thrones game. With a 25,000x top prize and a spectacular theme, it’s a big slot packed with small screen fun.
My verdict
Fans of the show will enjoy this Breaking Bad slot game, almost irrespective of the bonus features and gameplay. The characters, s, soundtrack and snippets from the show are all well-judged. But by choosing the best performing Cash Collect and nudge features from their toolbox of bonuses, Playtech have made sure this game will entertain even the handful of souls who aren’t familiar with Heisenberg’s wild adventure.

FAQs
Can I play Breaking Bad slot for free?
There’s no Breaking Bad slot demo right now, as is the case with many of Playtech’s games, so it’s real money only. The minimum bet size is 10p, and with 30 ways to win, that makes this game reasonably well suited to low and mid stakes players.
What is the Breaking Bad RTP?
During my sessions playing Breaking Bad, the Breaking Bad slot RTP was 93.56%, though I did get money back on every spin with OJOplus too. As I usually point out, that percentage is a theoretical return to player over the long run, and Playtech calculated this figure over a billion spins! The more important factor in my view is the volatility, and this game uses a balanced math model with a mix of small and bigger sized wins, and medium frequency.
What other Cash Collect™ games are there?
Playtech has bet the house on its Cash Collect mechanic and by the looks of things, it’s worked. There are over 15 Cash Collect slots at PlayOJO, including some of the biggest games of the year. Check out Sahara Riches Cash Collect, Queen of the Pyramids Mega Cash Collect, Leprechaun’s Luck Cash Collect.
