Max Megaways 2

Max Megaways 2 Review

The original took you inside the villain's lair, and Max Megaways 2 unfolds on the moon's surface. Lunar bases and biodomes form the backdrop, with Earth visible in the distance. This sequel follows the successful formula of the first game, but with changes to the modifiers and math model.

You still get random modifiers in the base game, along with Reaction Wins, but the modifiers differ from the original. The bonus round occurs inside the lunar base, and you choose either 2 or 3 modifiers upfront. Triggering the Enhanced feature grants 3 picks, and both bonus rounds have a progressive win multiplier with no upper limit. Both the max win and RTP have increased, and the 147,620x potential is the highest for this type of game.

Max Megaways 2 Slot Features

The high-value symbols pay between 0.5 and 5 x your bet for 6-of-a-kind wins, and the Wild symbol substitutes for any pay symbol to help complete wins. All winning symbols disappear from the grid via the Reaction mechanic, and new symbols drop down or slide in on the top reel to replace them. This continues as long as you keep winning.

Random modifiers can trigger on any spin or reaction, and they work as follows:

• Maximum Megaways - fills the grid with 7 positions per reel and maximum win ways.
• Multiplier Wild - adds a multiplier wild up to x10 to the top reel.
• Horizontal Wild - turns all symbols on the top reel into wilds.
• Symbol to Wild - a random symbol becomes wild on reels 2 to 5.

You win 10 free spins from 3 gold scatters, and +2 additional spins for each extra scatter. The Diamond Megascatter triggers the Enhanced Bonus Round if it's part of the triggering event.

You select 2 doors upfront, revealing modifiers for the feature. You pick 3 doors in the Enhanced version, and you get a progressive win multiplier that starts at x1 either way. The multiplier boosts all wins and never resets. Here's a look at the possible modifiers:

• Multiplier Boost - starts the win multiplier at x6 instead of x1.
• Symbol to Wild - turns a chosen symbol wild on reels 2 to 5.
• Double Multiplier - increases the win multiplier by +2 per reaction win instead of +1.
• 2 Scatters Retrigger - only 2 scatters are needed to win extra free spins.
• Increased Ways - provides a minimum of 5 positions per reel.

You win +5 extra spins when you land 3 scatters in the same free spin reaction, or on the same spin. Only 2 are needed if you have the 2 Scatters Retrigger modifier. You win +5 additional spins for each extra scatter beyond the minimum of 2 or 3.

The Win Exchange and Bonus Buy features may be available. You can exchange a 100x win for 10 free spins or gamble a win between 25 and 99 x your bet to potentially win 10 free spins. Alternatively, you can pay to trigger the bonus round.

Here's a preview of the base game before triggering the regular bonus round. We got Increased Ways and an x6 starting win multiplier from the door picks, and you can see how we did.

Review Summary

The lunar base setting creates an impressive backdrop in this sequel. Max Megaways 2 closely resembles the original, but some changes have been made to both the base game and bonus round features. It's debatable whether these changes are improvements, or simply neutral, but the math model is definitely better.

The RTP has been increased, and the potential has been boosted up to 147,620x your bet. It would be helpful if the chances of hitting the max win were disclosed for future games. The bonus buy price hints at the average returns you can expect, but overall Max Megaways 2 is a solid follow-up.
