ABOUT
Axe Max by Popiplay takes players back to a land before technology, where the tribal spirit is the only true guidance in life. Let yourself be one with the wild and see if you got what it takes to thrive in this ancient, mythical world.
Betting Options and Bonus Features
Popiplay’s Axe Max slot plates out on a traditional layout of 3 rows and 5 reels with 25 paylines and symbols of the Native American culture. The warrior symbol rewards the highest payout at 500x the bet for a full line. In addition, the RTP of the game is right at the industry standard: 96.08%.
The base game of Axe Max doesn’t have any features beside the Wild symbol in the shape of a raccoon that replaces any symbol but Coins and Scatters. However, the slot makes up for this with 2 different bonus games. The first one is the Tribe Free Spins that’s triggered by 3 Scatters and awards 10 free spins. In this round, only premium symbols (not J, Q, A, K) are on the reels and there is a chance of a retrigger if scatters appear again.
The second bonus is called the Shaman Cave Respin. To enter this special round, it’s necessary for 6 or more Coin symbols to land in one spin. There are 3 types of symbols that appear during this feature:
- Coin Symbol - carry random values from 1x to 20x the bet.
- Plus Spin Symbol - adds one more respin.
- Collect Symbol - collects the values of all coin symbols on the screen.
The round begins with 6 respins and when they run out, all the coins’ value are totaled into your payout. Plus, if you manage to land 15 coin symbols, you’ll win a massive jackpot of 5,000x the stakes. Keeping up with modern slot trends, Axe Max also has Bonus Buy options for both its bonus rounds (50x for the Tribe Free Spins and 40x for the Shaman Cave Respins).
Roshtein’s Take
Axe Max offers mechanics and features that slot players are no strangers to but the game is still entertaining as hell. Both the free spins and respins are fun to play and they hit pretty often too. However, although the slot pays out fine, it sometimes feels pretty hard to hit a huge bonus.
