Rad Maxx is the latest online slot from Hacksaw Gaming and serves as a creative sequel to the studio’s hit title RIP City launched in 2023. The game reintroduces Maxx the Mouse and Ro$$ the Cat, now cast in a high-energy alleyway showdown. This time, however, Maxx takes the lead role in a slot that breaks away from conventional paylines. Built around a 5×5 grid, Rad Maxx redefines win potential with a mechanic that allows winning combinations to be calculated from all four cardinal directions. Alongside these novel paylines are Wild Plus symbols, Crazy Cat multiplier wilds, and three dynamic bonus games, all designed to increase unpredictability and excitement.

A new twist on paylines:

At the heart of Rad Maxx’s design is a directional payline system. While most slots pay left to right, this game starts with one active Pay Direction Arrow pointing right, which allows wins from left to right. However, the potential for payouts expands dramatically with the appearance of a Wild Plus symbol. When one of these symbols lands, it can activate one to three additional directional arrows, enabling paylines from right to left, top to bottom, or bottom to top. Every new arrow increases the number of active paylines by 19, and when all four directions are unlocked, a total of 76 paylines becomes available. These directions are reset after each spin, adding a layer of variability and anticipation to every round.

Another standout feature is the Crazy Cat symbol. As stated on the developers’s website, these icons function as Wild multipliers, carrying random multiplier values ranging from x2 up to x20. Whenever a Crazy Cat symbol is involved in a win, it boosts the payout according to its multiplier. If multiple Crazy Cat symbols are part of the same winning line, their multiplier values are multiplied together first, then applied to the win, creating the potential for significantly enhanced rewards.

Rad Maxx includes three distinct bonus rounds that are activated depending on how many FS scatter symbols land in a single spin. The first level, known as the Mad Maxx Bonus, is triggered by landing three FS symbols. This bonus grants 10 free spins and retains all base game mechanics, but adds a higher chance of landing Wild Plus symbols. In addition, any Crazy Cat symbols that appear during this mode become sticky and remain in place until the round ends.

If four FS symbols appear, players unlock the Maxximice Bonus. This version builds on the Mad Maxx round by guaranteeing one Wild Plus symbol on every spin, alongside the benefits of sticky Crazy Cat multipliers and possible extra spins.

The highest bonus level, To The Maxx, requires five FS symbols to activate. Players receive 10 free spins as usual, but with the added advantage of having all four Pay Direction Arrows active for the entirety of the round. This configuration maximizes the number of available win directions and significantly increases the game’s payout potential. All three bonus modes also allow for retriggers—landing two FS symbols adds two extra spins, while three FS symbols add four.

Bet options, graphics, and extras:

Rad Maxx caters to a broad range of players with flexible betting options, allowing wagers from €0.10 to €100 per spin. The default Return to Player (RTP) rate is 96.32%, although alternate versions with lower RTPs are available depending on the operator. The hit frequency sits at 40%, meaning players can expect a win on nearly every other spin. The game is rated medium to high in volatility and offers a maximum win potential of 12,500 times the bet.

Visually, Rad Maxx sticks to Hacksaw’s signature minimalist aesthetic, with a mostly monochrome background accented by bright highlights on key symbols. The setting is a grungy urban alley marked by graffiti and garbage bins, where Maxx the Mouse reacts to wins and big moments. A jazzy, slapstick soundtrack accompanies the action and helps keep the atmosphere both chaotic and playful.

Players in eligible jurisdictions can also use the Bonus Buy menu to immediately access special features. The BonusHunt FeatureSpins option costs three times the stake and increases the chance of triggering a bonus game by fivefold. The Feline Frenzy FeatureSpins are priced at 50x the stake and guarantee the appearance of at least one Wild Plus symbol and three Crazy Cat symbols in the spin that follows. For those who prefer direct entry into the bonus rounds, the Mad Maxx feature can be bought for 100x the bet, while the Maxximice bonus is available for 200x. However, the To The Maxx feature cannot be purchased and must be triggered through regular gameplay.
