By Yggdrasil Gaming
Overview
Prepare for an epic Mayan quest deep within the Aztec jungle in Yggdrasil Gaming's exhilarating slot, MexoMax!. This visually rich game unfolds on an expansive 6-reel, 6-row grid, captivating players with its vibrant exotic flowers, mysterious plant life, and an ever-present slithering snake adding to the sense of menace. It's the first MultiMax slot to embrace an innovative Cluster Pays mechanic, where wins are formed by five or more adjacent matching symbols, triggering a cascading Dropdown feature that clears winning symbols and allows new ones to fall, creating space for more action. Each successful cascade places a wild symbol in an empty space, simultaneously boosting the reel multiplier above it by +1. These individual reel multipliers then brilliantly multiply each other when part of a winning cluster, leading to truly explosive win potential. With High volatility and a colossal 10,000x max win, MexoMax! offers a unique, high-octane MultiMax experience, delivering thrilling gameplay and monumental payouts for daring adventurers.
Gameplay & Features
MexoMax. is a game where features trigger other features which feed each other to potentially produce better results. The first one to tackle is theDropdown feature, which removes winning symbols from the grid, letting new and existing symbols fall down to fill any gaps. If another win is created after the symbols drop, the feature triggers again until no new win occurs.

During a Dropdown, awild symbolis placed in an empty space before the gaps are filled, and theReel Multiplier above it increases by +1. Multipliers are applied to any future wins on that reel, and when more than one Reel Multiplier is part of a win, the values are multiplied. Multipliers reset between paid spins.
• Free Spins

Final Thoughts
At this point in time, it would be hard to say that MultiMax slots are flying off the production line in great quantities, yet they do tend to be good when they arrive.Multifly!led the charge back in early 2020, and partner studio Bulletproof Games had a crack with the mechanic inCrystal Falls MultiMax, which had its charms but was hampered by one or two limitations.Raptor DoubleMax, by comparison, is like the bigger, older cousin of the group, who knows a bit more about how the world works.Multifly!andRaptor DoubleMaxwere rock steady releases that could weave multiplicative magic, and so can MexoMax! when its jungly bits are firing.
It goes without saying, but Reel Multipliers multiplying each other are the key to MexoMax! Don't get us wrong, this doesn't always happen, yet it was astonishing how a bonus round could roll through a few poor spins, then rack up a set of Reel Multipliers before bringing them together to produce something decent. Individual Reel Multipliers never really rose to great heights during testing, but the power is in combining them where their cumulative effect can be surprising. MexoMax! doesn't have the same march of the multiplier effect thatRaptor DoubleMaxhas, and max win bears this out. Where the dino one could reach 20,000x the bet, MexoMax! taps out at the lower yet still desirable level of10,000 times the stake.
It's a little peculiar that more than two years passed betweenMultifly!and MexoMax!, with a break in between them byCrystal Falls Multimax. You might think such a potent tool in the Yggdrasil arsenal would've seen the light of day more often. Well, the drought has eased, and the result is a thumping good Mayan/Aztec-themed slot which demonstrates again how exciting stacked multipliers can be.
