- Yggdrasil Gaming releases MexoMax 2 slot
- Betting range from $/€0.10 – $/€50
- Max win of 10,000x
Yggdrasil Gaming’s long-standing record of integrating proven multipliers into premium slots is well-known, and “MexoMax 2” is no exception.
MultiMax, seen in MultiFly!, is a mechanic that builds separate multiplier values above individual reels rather than a single combined total.
The clever system that worked wonders in the 2022 cluster slot, “MexoMax!”, has made a comeback for MexoMax 2 – and it comes along with fresh and exciting twists.
Visually, MexoMax 2 feels somewhat less vibrant compared to its predecessor, with the original lush jungle background softened, the slithering snake no longer present, the jaguar being off elsewhere, and the beating-heart wild taken a few notches down. These apparently small changes create a slightly less lively atmosphere. However, the soundtrack does a good job of maintaining the energy.
The highly volatile game, with a 94% RTP, is played across a 6×6 grid, where players must focus on creating clusters of at least five matching symbols to trigger wins. Bets run between 10c and $/€50.
Low-value symbols are represented by four animal carvings, while an equal number of face or mask icons stand for the high-paying symbols. A winning cluster made of five OAK symbols pays 0.1x–1x the initial bet, while a massive cluster made of at least 14 OAK symbols will reward you between 2.5x–6.5x the stake.
Avalanches remove winning symbols, drop in new ones, and place a wild on the board, repeating as long as new wins appear.
Special Features
MexoMax 2 expands its feature set with multiple wild types, non-winning spin modifiers, free spins, Golden Spins, and feature buys.
MultiMax multipliers start at x1 per reel and increase every time a new wild lands, resetting after losing spins or avalanches.
Wild types include Regular, WildEnergy (with 2–4 “lives”), and Extra Multiplier Wilds, which can add x2–x50 to their reel multiplier. High-value symbols can carry sub-symbols linked to Grand Prizes ranging from 15x to 1,000x.
Non-winning spins may trigger random modifiers such as Hand of the Gods, Temple Wind, or Sun Stone to convert symbols into wins.
Free spins are triggered by landing 3–5 scatters, offering 7–11 spins with multipliers persisting throughout the session.
Golden Bets increase the chance of free spins or special wilds, while feature buys let players instantly access 7–11 spins at higher stakes.
While the special MultiMax mechanic and the fun avalanches should suffice to keep the excitement going, some players might feel that MexoMax 2 doesn’t quite rise to its predecessor. Still, with winning potential up to 10,000x the bet, it remains an engaging, feature-rich slot that delivers a satisfying experience for fans of high-volatility cluster play.
