Despite having been made favourites to win the Stanley Cup by the bookies, Pittsburgh Penguins have not looked like crumbling under the pressure. Especially when they are sitting at the top of the Eastern Metropolitan Division. Of course there are still games to play, but at 6/1 to lift the trophy come February, it’s hard to bet against them. But who else is still in with a chance of being crowned champions?
Every year the Chicago Blackhawks are a dominate force in the NHL and this season is no different. They sit top of the Central Western Conference and with only 2 losses in their last 10 games, they are in hot form. The bookmakers agree, placing them as second favourites at 15/2. Other teams that are worth looking out for in the run-up to the end of the regular season are Boston Bruins (10/1), St Louis Blues (10/1) and Los Angeles Kings (14/1), all three are capable of causing an upset. But if you fancy going for the underdog, try Buffalo Sabres who are placed at a very long 300/1. But if you are still unsure who to bet on, play an ice hockey slots game at an online casino site such as www.jackpotcity.co.uk/online-slots instead.
Break Away – a five reel video slots game with no less than 243 pay lines- is one of the most popular NHL based games. This clearly enhances the chance of a payout from playing it, even if you don’t manage to scoop one of the $500 maximum jackpots available, but there is more than just money to recommend Break Away. The graphics, sound effects and animation used in this slots game recreate all of the excitement – and physicality – of an NHL match; to the extent that you might find yourself wincing occasionally, until you remember you’re only playing a casino game!
