We’re uncertain if neon-glowing eyes are the ideal disguise for a heist-pulling trickster, as depicted in the gang Yggdrasil’s Neon Villains Doublemax. It’s similar to the game Raptor Doublemax, with a multiplier that doubles with each Dropdown Win and a wild spawned per dropdown. However, we prefer the dinosaur visuals of the previous game, and this one’s presentation seems somewhat generic. Despite this, the doubling multiplier action outperforms most other slots. The multiplier never resets in the bonus round, and has no maximum limit. The potential 25,000x has been increased, making it worth exploring. You can activate the Golden Bet between base game spins, doubling your bonus round chances for an extra 20% per spin. The premium symbols yield between 1 and 2.5 times your stake for 5 of a kind wins, with Wild symbols substituting for pay symbols. Winning symbols are replaced with new or existing symbols from above via the Dropdown Wins mechanic. A wild symbol always spawns per dropdown, and the process repeats with each win. The Multiplier Trail also doubles for each dropdown win, but resets in the base game. To trigger the Bonus Round, you need 3, 4, or 5 scatters, resulting in 7, 9, or 11 free spins. There’s no way to retrigger the feature or get extra spins, and the multiplier never resets. Non-UK players can buy the bonus round for 100x, 200x, or 500x, awarding 7, 9, or 11 free spins. You can preview the base game before purchasing the top-tier bonus round at 0:48 in the 3-minute highlights video. Compared to Raptor Doublemax, Neon Villains Doublemax seems generic and unexciting. Despite their similarities, the preference between the two games depends on whether you prefer dinosaurs or characters. The hit rate has been reduced to 20.8 (from 30.5), but there are now 243 ways to win instead of 25. The max win has also been increased to 25,000x your stake, and the top-tier 96% RTP remains almost the same. Mathematically, Neon Villains Doublemax is superior, but we still prefer the original for its more engaging visual presentation. Pros and Cons are not provided.
