Shadow Raiders Multimax

Yggdrasil’s exciting Multimax multiplier feature is back in their new game Shadow Raiders Multimax slot. This is a pirate-themed adventure but the twist is that the crew is haunted and they are all undead. While you play the game you cannot help but notice the Pirates of the Caribbean inspiration from the first movie.

In terms of mechanics, the game is played on 5 reels with winning ways instead of paylines. The player can enjoy mechanics such as cascading wins, mystery symbols, wilds, and free spins with the gamble feature. The maximum payout is 15000x the bet and 96.10% RTP value. The game is highly volatile which fits the crazy undead pirate theme. That said, it has a lot of interesting mechanics so let us analyze it in detail through this Shadow Raiders Multimax slot review.

The basic undead pirate-themed premise of the game is that the player is trying to land symbols on consecutive reels. There are 243 winning ways instead of fixed paylines. They can be scored if the player lands at least 3 identical symbols on consecutive reels. The wins must start from left to right and the vertical position of the symbols does not matter. As long as the reels are adjacent, a win will be scored. Multiple winning ways are combined.

Furthermore, the paying symbols are all pirates who are under the mysterious zombie curse. There are 10 regular paying symbols in total. The six low-win ones appear as card symbols while the 4 high-win ones are the pirates. There are also wild symbols that appear once you score a cascading win but more on that later.

Autoplay can be enabled for the desired number of spins by clicking on the appropriate button above the spin button.

When it comes to betting options, there are three methods of betting. Firstly, you can place a regular bet anywhere between $0.2 and $50. Secondly, you can place a bonus boost bet for 1.5x the bet. This will increase your chances for the free spins feature to land. Thirdly and finally, you can buy the free spins mode for either 100x or 350x the bet. In any case, the maximum win is 15000x the bet.

Furthermore, the main payouts will come from the regular paying symbols. The most you can get for the low-wins is by landing 5 A symbols for 0.6x your bet. Moreover, the most you can get for high-wins is 5x your bet. These values might seem low, but the Multimax multiplier feature compensates for this.

The overall RTP value of Shadow Raiders Mutlimax is calculated to be 96.10% with high volatility. These are worthwhile numbers but some players might not prefer the high variance.

Yggdrasil has brought us a feature-rich release with the Shadow Raiders Multimax slot. There are several exciting mechanics that appear in the bonus game which is always great to see. Let us analyze each one together.

• Cascading Wins – Each time you score a winning way, the winning symbols disappear and new ones take their place. This allows for more potential wins per single spin. Furthermore, an extra wild is added each time you score a cascading win.
• Multimax Multipliers – Wilds increase the multiplier for the reel on which they land. Cascading wins with winning symbols on the multiplied reels have their values boosted. The multipliers reset after a losing dropdown.
• Booty Bomb – After each cascading win, Booty Bombs may appear and they act as mystery symbols. They will land in empty spaces to reveal more symbols or cash prizes. If a symbol is revealed all of the booty bombs will reveal the same one.
• Raiders Free Spins – Land at least 3 free spin symbols anywhere to trigger 8 free spins. During free spins, the Multimax Multipliers last throughout the entire feature regardless of losses.
• Gamble – When you trigger free spins, you can gamble for more of them. There is a chance of winning or losing as you spin the special wheel. Up to 14 free spins can be won here.

The Multimax feature is quite powerful. This is why it is so important to trigger these reel multipliers as early as possible in the free spins.
