Miami Mayhem (Hacksaw Gaming) – Review & Demo Play

Miami Mayhem: Slot Overview

I’ve put plenty of spins through Miami Mayhem from Hacksaw Gaming. It runs on a 5x4 layout with 14 paylines and an 80s crime vibe straight out of neon Miami. Stakes start at 10p per spin in the UK (higher in other markets), and the game leans on Expanding Crew Reels and Missions to drive the action. Full-reel wilds can land with multipliers, while Wanted symbols kick off respins that ramp up your Wanted Level for stronger outcomes.

Theme, Audio + Symbols in Miami Mayhem

The look is pastel glamour with synthwave beats, palm-lined streets, and a crew of five misfits: Ghosting Gordo, Roxie Rizz, Vinny the Vice, Lola la Reina, and Diego el Fuego. It’s all about dirty money and rival crews with an 80s punch. The presentation is clean and focused, keeping the reels front and centre while the soundtrack adds that throbbing Miami edge.

On the paytable, 10–A royals sit at the bottom, topping out at 1x for five. Premiums include knuckle dusters, a whiskey glass, a device, Roxie Rizz, and Diego el Fuego, with five-of-a-kind premiums paying up to 10x. Wilds, whether standard or full-reel, substitute and pay 10x for five on a line. Special symbols are Crew, Wanted, and FS scatters, each pivotal to the feature set.

Bonus Features in Miami Mayhem

Crew symbols expand into Crew Reels if expansion creates at least one win. Each reel maps to a specific crew member and the full reel becomes wild. When a Crew Reel expands, it might stay as wild or reveal a multiplier from x2 to x100 applied to the whole reel. If more than one multiplier contributes to a win, the values are added before calculating the payout, which is where the slot’s punchy moments often surface.

Missions in Miami Mayhem

A Wanted symbol triggers a Mission with 3 respins, activates the Wanted Level Bar, and selects a random high-pay symbol as the Target. Land a win with that Target within the respins to complete the Mission, move to a new one, and step the Wanted Level up by at least +1. Respins refill to 3 each time, and once Level 5 is reached, it stays at 5 until a Mission is failed.

Wanted Level raises the floor for expanded Crew Reel multipliers. Level 0 gives wild-only reels, while Levels 1–5 guarantee at least x2, x5, x10, x15, and x25, respectively. If the respins end and the Target wasn’t hit, the Mission fails, the Wanted Level resets, and the sequence stops. Expanded Crew Reels don’t count as Target symbols, and Mission wins are awarded after the respins conclude.

Free Spins in Miami Mayhem

The Hit triggers with 3 scatters for 10 free spins. You keep base mechanics, with a higher chance of Crew symbols and progressive Wanted Levels. A Mission is active from the start, but Mission respins don’t run here. Land 2 or 3 scatters during the round for +2 or +4 spins. This mode is about climbing levels and lining up expanded reels for strong additive multipliers.

We Split lands from 4 scatters and gives 10 free spins with a Mayhem Bar outside the grid. Each reel has a segment that stores an expanded Crew Reel after a winning hit. After the last free spin, the bar fires a Crew Spin that reactivates all stored Crew Reels, with multipliers linked to the current Wanted Level. Extra scatters in-round again add +2 or +4 spins.

Get Lit is the hidden epic bonus from 5 scatters, awarding 10 free spins with Wanted Level fixed at 5 and at least one Crew symbol guaranteed every spin. Missions and scatters are disabled here, so it’s pure Crew Reel action at the highest minimum multiplier tier. Outside the UK, BonusHunt FeatureSpins cost x3, Beach Please x50 (at least two expanded Crew Reels), Mayhem Mode x50 (guaranteed Wanted), The Hit x100, and We Split x300.

RTP, Volatility & Max Win in Miami Mayhem

Top RTP sits at 96.35%, with alternative models such as 94.34%, 92.17%, and 86.23% used by some sites. Volatility is around medium-high (4/5), and the hit rate is roughly 33–33.5%. The maximum win is 15,000x. In the UK, stakes run from 10p to £5 per spin; other markets can reach higher limits. With 14 fixed paylines and full-reel wild multipliers present in both base and bonus play, the ceiling feels reachable when Crew Reels line up.

Miami Mayhem: Slot Verdict

Hacksaw’s full-reel wilds are the star, and I’m fine with that here because Missions raise the floor for multipliers in a way that feels punchy when it clicks. The Hit builds pressure, We Split’s Crew Spin can swing a session, and Get Lit is the dream ticket with Level 5 locked. It can be swingy in the base, but I’ve seen Mayhem Mode pop near four figures, and the 15,000x cap keeps me chasing.
