Who makes the Breaking Bad slot?
International Game Technology (IGT) built the game under licence from the TV series. In July 2025, funds managed by Apollo completed their purchase of IGT’s gaming and digital business and of Everi, and the combined company operates under the IGT name.
How the game plays
Breaking Bad is a 5-reel, 30-line video slot. The higher-paying symbols show characters from the show. In place of the usual card ranks, the lower-paying symbols are chemical elements from the periodic table, a nod to Walter White’s chemistry.
The show’s theme carries into the features. Landing the bonus trigger symbol on reels 1, 3 and 5 starts a round of free spins. The bigger prize is the golden moth: collect five and the game launches the Heisenberg free spins.
Heisenberg free spins
In the Heisenberg feature, three extra reels appear on the overhead screen: Mr White, Chemist Pays and Heisenberg Pays. The wins on all three reels are added up at the end of the feature.
Can you play Breaking Bad slots online?
IGT’s land-based game is not the one you will find online. Playtech makes Breaking Bad: Collect ‘Em & Link, a separate online slot with its own features:
- 5 reels, 3 rows and 30 fixed paylines
- Listed RTP of 95.6%, though some casinos run a 93.56% version
- Walter White as the wild, cash collect symbols, a Heisenberg Collect & Link bonus and a free games round
- Maximum win of 5,000 times the stake
Real-money online slots are legal in only a few US states, so whether you can play it depends on where you are and which games each casino carries. Check the RTP shown in the game’s help screen, since casinos can pick the lower setting.
