Rad Maxx (Hacksaw Gaming) – Review & Demo Play

The Rad Maxx Slot Game

I dropped straight into Rad Maxx on a 5x5 grid with up to 76 paylines and a monochrome alleyway punched by neon green. It’s a follow‑up to RIP City, with Maxx the mouse taking centre stage and Ro$$ lurking as the multiplier wild. The hook is the Pay Direction Arrows: by default it pays left to right, but Wild Plus can open right to left, top to bottom, and bottom to top. Medium‑high volatility, tight pacing, and an energetic soundtrack kept me locked in.

The feel leans gritty and cartoonish. Low pays are washed‑out royals, premiums pop in yellow, and Maxx reacts to big moments. The gameplay isn’t a reskin of RIP City; expanding wilds are gone, replaced by Crazy Cat multiplier wilds and the directional system. Bonus tiers stack nicely, and the grid never rotates, so reads stay clear even when all four directions light up. It looks minimal, but the multipliers and arrows add proper bite.

Symbols and Payouts in Rad Maxx

Payouts stick to clean values. The low pays are 10, J, Q, K, A, worth 2x for five of a kind. Premiums show an apple core, a pizza slice, a banana, fish bones, and Maxx; five premiums pay between 5x and 10x your stake, with Maxx at the top. Ro$$ appears as wilds, and all wild types substitute and pay 10x for a full line. Crazy Cat symbols carry multipliers from x2 up to x20, and if several land in the same win, their values multiply together first.

Rad Maxx Slot Bonus Features

Crazy Cat Symbols are multiplier wilds with values from x2 to x20. When a Crazy Cat helps a win, the multiplier applies to that payout. If more than one Crazy Cat joins the same combo, the multipliers multiply with each other before being applied. This is where the slot spikes. A simple two‑cat hit like x3 and x7 turns a standard line into a 21x rocket, and sticky behaviour in bonuses can stack pressure quickly.

Pay Direction Arrows sit outside the grid. The right‑facing arrow is always active, so base wins start left to right. Land a Wild Plus symbol and it triggers before wins, activating one to three additional directions at random. Each added direction brings extra lines, up to a maximum of 76, and the set resets on the next spin. When two or more directions light up with a couple of multipliers in view, the board can snowball fast.

Free spins come in three tiers. Mad Maxx triggers from 3 FS scatters with 10 spins, sticky Crazy Cats, and an increased chance of Wild Plus. Maxximice needs 4 scatters for 10 spins and guarantees a Wild Plus every spin. To The Maxx takes 5 scatters for 10 spins with all four directions active throughout. Land 2 or 3 FS during any bonus for +2 or +4 spins. BonusHunt FeatureSpins cost 3x, Feline Frenzy 50x, Mad Maxx 100x, Maxximice 200x; the top tier isn’t purchasable.

How to Win at Rad Maxx Slot

Wins form on predefined lines across the active directions. By default, it’s left to right from the outermost reel, but Wild Plus can switch on right to left, top to bottom, and bottom to top. More directions mean more eligible lines, up to 76. I watch for Wild Plus early in a sequence and then aim for Cats to land where lines intersect. The best runs pair opened arrows with one or two Crazy Cats covering the busiest lanes.

Rad Maxx Slot RTP & Volatility

The default RTP sits at 96.32%, with operator variants such as 94.42% and 92.40% also listed, and feature buys can tweak the figure slightly. Volatility is rated 4/5, so variance is on the steeper side, but the quoted hit rate of around 40% keeps the base game ticking. I saw plenty of small and medium hits, with the big swings arriving when multipliers chained or when two directions lit up together.

Bet levels range from €0.10 to €100 per spin, fitting most bankrolls. The max win is 12,500x your stake, reachable in any mode, though the best window arrives when sticky Crazy Cats meet multiple pay directions in free spins. If Bonus Buy is available in your region, options span 3x, 50x, 100x, and 200x as listed in the menu. UK play excludes buys, so natural triggers carry the day.

The Final Thoughts on Rad Maxx

Rad Maxx hits a neat balance: clean 5x5 reads, character‑led polish, and a fresh directional twist. The arrows can feel odd for a few spins, then it clicks. Sticky Cats in Mad Maxx and above do heavy lifting, while guaranteed arrows in Maxximice and full 360 in To The Maxx turn the grid into a livewire. In base, finding more than two directions can be stubborn, but when Cats multiply Cats, it rips. I’ll keep this in rotation.
