Neon Villains DoubleMax Slot Review

Neon Villains DoubleMax Slot RTP, Details & Wager Limits

The Neon Villains DoubleMax slot is played on 5 reels and has 234 paylines. A winning combination is formed by landing at least 3 identical symbols on consecutive reels, beginning from reel 1.

Landing more symbols on a single reel multiplies the win. After each win, all symbols are removed and an extra Wild is added. New symbols then fill the empty spaces, giving you another chance to win. This is known in the game as a Dropdown Win.

Stakes range from 10p up to £40 per spin. Hit the coins icon below the reels to change your total bet. There are 16 predefined values to pick from. If you’re outside the UK, autospins are also an option.

The Neon Villains DoubleMax RTP is 96%, which is bang on the industry average for online slots. But please note that volatility here is super high, so don’t expect big wins too often. Regarding the hit rate, Yggdrasil has set it at 20.8%. This means that just over a 5th of all spins on average will result in a payout.

The maximum you can win is 25,000 x your total stake from a single spin. The Free Spins feature will be your best chance of landing the maximum win due to the multipliers in the bonus round that don’t reset. More on that further down.

Theme – trick your way to the riches in the vault

The theme in the Neon Villains DoubleMax slot game is based on a heist, with a team of professionals looking to trick their way into the vault to grab the riches that await them. The reels are set inside a room with purple, pink and blue neon lights everywhere. The symbols on the reels are bold and really eye-catching.

Land the Free Spins feature and you will move inside the vault, with expensive vases and statues glistening in the background. It reminds me of the short crime film Polterheist, where the main action is trying a daring heist to steal a vase.

You won’t hear any sound effects here, which is different. With the best slots, you’ll have a soundtrack as well as sound effects coming from the symbols. It’s just the background music here though, which sounds like you’re in a race against time to complete a mission with its electronic sound.

On the reels, the playing card suits make up the lower-paying symbols. These are joined by higher-paying villains – 3 men and a woman. The orange male villain symbol is the most rewarding, paying 0.5, 1 or 2.5 x your stake for 3, 4 or 5 in combination.

Here’s a rundown of the symbols in the game and their payout info:

Neon Villains DoubleMax Review Summary – multipliers are the key to success

I’ve been a big fan of DoubleMax slots and have enjoyed previous releases to this one such as Christmas Plaza DoubleMax and Raptor DoubleMax, with the gameplay in both almost identical to the Neon Villains DoubleMax slot. Although similar, this game has a much bigger max win potential in comparison, which makes it stand out.

The idea of multipliers doubling as every consecutive win lands is great, and it could really lead to some big wins if you enjoy a bit of luck along the way. But expect most wins to be low as it’s a slot with super high variance.

I like the visuals and I didn’t mind the audio that came with it either. There’s nothing spectacular on either front, but they’re solid enough and the game plays very well on a smaller screen if you prefer mobile play.

Overall, it didn’t blow me away, but the 25,000 x max wins and the fun Free Spins feature with the unlimited multipliers kept me interested.
