🐸 #19: If RIP City Was The Party, Rad Maxx Is The After-Party - Slot Review

Sup fellow degens, 

Rad Maxx…

Do not confuse this bad boy with Mad Max. It’s not so cool.

But don’t confuse it with Tom and Jerry either. It’s not so fun.

However, it is Hacksaw’s latest chaos machine, a follow-up to everyone’s beloved RIP City.

The cat got sidelined, the mouse took the wheel, and we’re rolling through a neon-stained alley full of smoke, trash, puke, and wins that come out of nowhere.

Let’s spin this thing.

How it plays

Rad Maxx greets you with a clean 5×5 grid. Nothing flashy at first glance, but trust me, this alley’s got layers.

Once you start spinning, it doesn’t take long before you notice how unpredictable this thing can get. The base game goes on with a steady rhythm. In my experience, you’ll hit something around every other spin (roughly 40% hit rate), which is way better than most Hacksaw stuff.

But here’s where it’s a bit degenerate: you’re not the only one spinning the slot; the Wild Plus symbols also spin the slot for you (in a way).

When one lands, it messes with the pay directions. Usually, it only pays from 1 direction but suddenly wins can hit from all four sides, not just left to right.

Add those crazy cat wilds with multipliers up to x20, and you’re getting rich real fast. Two of those on the same win, and they multiply each other.

Volatility-wise, this thing is unpredictable. You might catch yourself smiling and having a good run, then it’ll all vanish the next second.

You’ve got that max win sitting at 12,500x, which is big enough to get your blood pumping. RTP sits at a comfy 94.42%.

Bet ranges from $0.10 to $75, which is classic Hacksaw. Always great to see such a huge range.

Long story short: Rad Maxx plays like a back-alley fight with a very high chance that you might catch a stray from the side and bleed out.

Bonus features

You’ve got 2 bonus rounds.

You can trigger them the old-fashioned way with scatter symbols (or, if you’re not in the UK), just straight-up buy your way in like a proper degenerate.

Prices start at 100x for the base bonus and go all the way up to 200x for the mid-tier.

There is also the top-tier “To The Maxx” feature, but I never triggered it lol and you can’t buy it either so you will have to go and try your luck yourselves.

Once you hit the bonus, Wild Plus symbols show up way more often, and those cat multiplier wilds stick to the board for the entire bonus. Love stuff like this; makes you shout at the screen asking for more.

What I really liked is that you can pull solid wins from the base bonus if the multipliers stack right. And when it starts spinning and you get 2-3 rounds of wins from one spin and the same board, you just can’t get that feeling in another slot.

Definitely recommend buying those.

Style

The monochrome cartoon look is slick. They are going for an old cartoon style, but the slot still feels fresh and taken care of. Someone put effort and thought into making every spin nice and smooth.

Maxx, the chain-smoking mouse, basically runs the show, while the cat’s reduced to a wild symbol cameo. The alley backdrop, grimy vibe, and hyperactive soundtrack all click together perfectly.

It’s got personality and great atmosphere. And yeah, the music absolutely slaps. Probably the only thing in this game that doesn’t want to hurt you.

Closing thought

Rad Maxx feels like RIP City’s hungover older brother: rougher, moodier, and maybe more interesting because of it.

It doesn’t reinvent Hacksaw’s formula, but it sharpens it. The cat’s gone, the mouse is chain-smoking through the chaos, and the whole thing oozes style and energy.

You’ll probably lose more than you win, but you won’t be bored doing it.

If RIP City was the party, Rad Maxx is the after-party: the one that happens in an alley, smells like cheap beer, and still somehow feels right.

I recommend it.

TL;DR: Rad Maxx is Hacksaw’s grimy, chaotic follow-up to RIP City — wild spins, big multipliers, killer style, and pure degenerate fun.

Stay degen,

Dima
