We’re not sure if having neon-glowing eyes is the best way to blend in if you want to be a heist-pulling trickster, but that’s what you get with the gang Yggdrasil has formed in Neon Villains Doublemax. If you’ve played Raptor Doublemax before, you have a pretty good idea what this game is all about. It comes with the same multiplier that doubles per Dropdown Win, and a wild is spawned per dropdown as well.
We have to admit that we prefer the dinosaur visuals over this though, and the presentation comes across as a tad too generic. This is not usually a problem with this developer, but the doubling multiplier action is unmatched by most other slots out there. The multiplier never resets in the bonus round, and there is no limit as to how high it can go. The25,000x potentialhas been dialed up a notch, which makes this installment well worth checking out.
You can turn on theGolden Betbetween base game spins, and this doubles your bonus round chances if you’re willing to pay20 % extra per spin. The premium symbols pay between 1 and 2.5 x your stake for 5 of a kind wins, and theWild symbolsstep in for pay symbols to help complete wins. The wild does not hold any value of its own, however.
All winning symbols are removed from the grid via theDropdown Wins mechanic, and the gaps are filled with new an/or existing symbols dropping down from above. One position will always spawn a wild symbol per dropdown, and the process repeats as long as you keep winning.
TheMultiplier Trailon the left-hand side kicks in when you win as well, and it doubles for every dropdown win. The multiplier resets in the base game, however, but not in the bonus round.
You need3, 4, or 5 scattersin view to trigger theBonus Round, and this gives you7, 9, or 11 free spins, respectively. There is no way to retrigger the feature, or get extra spins, and the difference from the base game is that the doubling multiplier never resets. Non-UK players canpurchase the bonus roundfor100x, 200x, or 500x, and this awards7, 9, or 11 free spins, respectively.
You get a decent taste of the base game, before we purchase the top-tier bonus round at 0:48 into the 3-minute highlights video. This gave us 11 free spins, and you can see for yourself what kind of multiplier level we achieved. Simply hit the play button below, and you can check it all out for yourself immediately.
Yggdrasil hasn’t really nailed it with this heist theme, as it comes across as too generic and unexciting. Raptor Doublemax is far more pleasing to the eye, and it ironically glows stronger than this neon-infused follow-up. The two games are very similar in most other ways though, so it boils down to whether you prefer dinosaurs or characters.
The hit rate has been lowered to 20.8 (from 30.5), but you now get 243 ways to win instead of only 25. More importantly, the max win has been boostedup to 25,000x your stake(instead of 20,000x), and the top-tier 96 % RTP remains more or less the same. Mathematically speaking, Neon Villains Doublemax is superior, but we still prefer the original due to the far more engaging visual presentation.
Pros
Cons
We’re uncertain if neon-glowing eyes are the ideal disguise for a heist-pulling trickster, as depicted in the gang Yggdrasil’s Neon Villains Doublemax. It’s similar to the game Raptor Doublemax, with a multiplier that doubles with each Dropdown Win and a wild spawned per dropdown. However, we prefer the dinosaur visuals of the previous game, and this one’s presentation seems somewhat generic. Despite this, the doubling multiplier action outperforms most other slots. The multiplier never resets in the bonus round, and has no maximum limit. The potential 25,000x has been increased, making it worth exploring. You can activate the Golden Bet between base game spins, doubling your bonus round chances for an extra 20% per spin. The premium symbols yield between 1 and 2.5 times your stake for 5 of a kind wins, with Wild symbols substituting for pay symbols. Winning symbols are replaced with new or existing symbols from above via the Dropdown Wins mechanic. A wild symbol always spawns per dropdown, and the process repeats with each win. The Multiplier Trail also doubles for each dropdown win, but resets in the base game. To trigger the Bonus Round, you need 3, 4, or 5 scatters, resulting in 7, 9, or 11 free spins. There’s no way to retrigger the feature or get extra spins, and the multiplier never resets. Non-UK players can buy the bonus round for 100x, 200x, or 500x, awarding 7, 9, or 11 free spins. You can preview the base game before purchasing the top-tier bonus round at 0:48 in the 3-minute highlights video. Compared to Raptor Doublemax, Neon Villains Doublemax seems generic and unexciting. Despite their similarities, the preference between the two games depends on whether you prefer dinosaurs or characters. The hit rate has been reduced to 20.8 (from 30.5), but there are now 243 ways to win instead of 25. The max win has also been increased to 25,000x your stake, and the top-tier 96% RTP remains almost the same. Mathematically, Neon Villains Doublemax is superior, but we still prefer the original for its more engaging visual presentation. Pros and Cons are not provided.
