Neon Villains Doublemax

Neon Villains Doublemax Review

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. The 25,000x potential has been dialed up a notch, which makes this installment well worth checking out.

Neon Villains Doublemax Slot Features

You can turn on the Golden Bet between base game spins, and this doubles your bonus round chances if you’re willing to pay 20 % extra per spin. The premium symbols pay between 1 and 2.5 x your stake for 5 of a kind wins, and the Wild symbols step 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 the Dropdown 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.

The Multiplier Trail on 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 need 3, 4, or 5 scatters in view to trigger the Bonus Round, and this gives you 7, 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 can purchase the bonus round for 100x, 200x, or 500x, and this awards 7, 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.

Review Summary

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 boosted up 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.
