Max Damage Slot

Before Max Damage was released by Microgaming I honestly was a bit skeptical thinking it would probably be another 243-ways-to-win slot that would swallow up a bankroll quite quickly. However, I must admit that this game has been good to me so far unlike some of my favorites.

The game itself has 5-reels and theme is based on an alien spaceship type of story. The symbols pretty much reflect a hip futuristic spaceship. A theme that doesn't interest me much personally, but I’m sure avid fans or space geeks (no pun intended) could appreciate the theme.

The best paying symbol is that of Max Damage. In addition, all Wild symbols are stacked even in the base game. I've experienced this game on 1.20 euro bets during a few sessions and I got quite lucky during base game having wilds drop in on multiple reels including a Max Damage symbol to win 250x, 200x and 140x betsize all in a short time.

It took me only 10 minutes to be around 500 euros up with this game and then I haven’t even experienced the free spins. Unfortunately there is also a downside to this story. I played more than 1500 spins on this game during multiple sessions, and still haven’t triggered free spins.

The UFO symbol, which is the scatters, just won’t do it for me no matter how long I play. Luckily I had plenty of smaller hits as well on Max Damage, otherwise I would have been on a very heavy loss. I’m still up on Max Damage, but mainly because I haven’t bothered since.

I’ve learnt it’s better to just give up and try again another time instead of chasing free spins where there is absolutely not guarantee of hitting it big. Will I ever play this game again? Sure, but only for 50-100 spins and then to move on.

The fact I'm having a hard time to trigger the free spins. Hopefully in 2015 eh ;-)

Max Damage slot is powered by Microgaming which is one of the reasons I tried it, but at that given moment I was exploring some new games. The game has 5 reels and 243 paylines and a minimum bet of 0.30$ per spin and the first time I tried it at Epoca casino.

The first I noticed was the graphics which were not so good and the background music well it was just ok. I started playing it with 50$ and after 40 minutes I was moving between 45$ and 55$, after another 10 minutes of playing I finally hit the scatter bonus that granted me 15 FS with 2x multiplier on everything except the alien spaceship prizes. In that first trigger I managed to get 28$ which was awesome and only maybe 5 minutes later I hit the FS feature again that gave me another 15$. At one point I was at 92$, so I just left the game with 100 FS and when I came back I had absolutely nothing to see. I had no good wins at all and my balance was at 57$. So what are the alien spaceship prizes? Well there are 5 of them that can only appear in the FS feature. Single, more or none can appear on the reels depending on your luck and when they appear they will be shot down and you will be granted a prize that depends on the alien spaceships because some of them are worth a lot and some of them are not. Also after the alien spaceships are shot down they will turn into wild symbol so that can boost up your profit and in my case they usually appear on the worst place possible which at some point really started to annoy me. Also the wild symbol in the main game can appeared stacked in all reels which can also give a nifty profit as well. The best that I got from that was 50x bet thank to the five of a kind.

Overall it can be a fun game but it is really not so interesting enough to play for a long time, plus I don't think it can give a good payout. 7/10

Max Damage is a 243 payline slot game from Microgaming and to be honest I was not immediately taken in by the graphics on this particular game but not being too easily swayed I gave it a good run anyway.

As this game lacked any form of bonus feature and in keeping in line with the title of this slot I kicked off with max bet and boy did I manage to do some damage! To my own balance that is. The wins were not too quick in coming and I was sure this was all going to be over pretty soon but then manged to land myself with four of the scatters, which are symbolized by a green UFO in this game, this triggered Free Spins for me along with a handsome reward.

That being said it did not take me very long to work my way through the winnings and back into the danger zone. I manged to pick up a few more minor wins to keep my head above water for a period but I was awarding this game more than it was awarding me in the end.

I did find this game lacked that edge to keep me interested, with no exciting bonus feature and the wins not doing enough on their own for me I found myself zoning out.

The graphics in this game gave me the impression that it was designed for kids more so than adults and it did nothing for me.

Out of all the games that I have played from Microgamning this one provided me with the least entertainment. I am not looking for a slot full of bright flashing lights to detract me from the lack of wins because at the end of the day its the fluctuating coin pile that entertains me and I found in this game it was just a downward spiral.

My rating for Max Damage is just two out of ten.

I have played the first Max Damage video slot, well you could say it's more a skill video game than a video slot. Now the sequel of Max Damage is online, this time the game is a real video slot because it has reels... Personally I don't like 243 paylines video slot because of the low pay out. I still remember playing The Dark Knight or The Dark Knight rises, these video slot has the highest pay out for a single win line of 7,50 with the lowest bet. It is probably the standard prizes for a microgaming 243 pay lines video slot.

Anyway, fortunate right after this game was launched I got a mail from Crazy Vegas casino regarding a free tenner with no deposit required. With this tenner I had the chance to try the game without using my own money.

10 euro is 1000 credits and its good for 33 spins playing Max Damage. So I went to the game and my balance went down very fast but when my balance reaches under 2 euro, suddenly I got 3 scatters (alien ship) and the bonus round was triggered.
The free spins bonus round boosted my balance up to 20 euro, it's not bad for first time playing, right? But I still wasn't satisfied with my 10 euro winning so I kept playing the game and of course I stick with my lowest bet just in case the game sucked my balance like a vacuum cleaner sucked on dust.

It took me more than 50 spins to trigger the second bonus round, I was excited when the bonus round was triggered but then something happend that I never expect from a microgaming game, I won less than 2 euro this time. So disappointed and a little bit angry because I expected a lot more of it but sometimes things are not going to happened the way you want it.

Max Damage is an average video slot, if you like the sci-fy themed games, well this game is definitely for you.

6 stars is good enough for Max.

Even if after I exceeded 300 spins played here I started to collect some extra money, though the slot “Max Damage” from Microgaming never seemed extraordinary to me. Rather, it seemed somewhat weak compared to last slots I played here, and this was especially because I entered very difficult in Free Spins and I gathered the extra money in the hard way.

The slot has as theme, the space ships around the Earth and this theme is attractive enough but except this the game does not impress with something else. It is almost like all average slots, which apart from 5 “10’s” of a kind hardly you can have other combinations of five symbols. And since these “5 of a kind" pay about 1-3 Euros, it is really hard to enter into loss just because the bet is 30 cents and the large wins (5 of a kind) are very rare. Yes it is true, the slot has 243 ways to win, but almost all of Microgaming slots lately are the same. Rarely, about once every 100 spins you have also one combination of major symbols that pays really well and thus you will made up for the previous losses with about 6 Euros from just one lucky spin. If you do not enter in Free Spins (I played Free Spins in 400 spins just one time) the losses add up to over 15 Euro.

The Free Spins bring with them some alien ships on the reels that are shot down by guns at the bottom of the slot: one obtains for each ship shot down a payout (30 cents-6 Euros) and the shot down ship becomes Wild. From these 15 Free Spins you will win a total of 10-15 Euros and this way sometimes you will have some extra money to play with. I had one Big Win in 300 spins when with 5 ships on reels (inclusive Wilds) and the screen shot is above.

This is just an average slot, where only the theme is somewhat beautiful, that you can play if you have tried all other Microgaming slots.

The slot is pretty boring, playing for the minimum bet probably more than 15-20 Euros extra will never have and the losing risk is as high.
