Rat Navigating City Streets with Stolen Pizza Pieces Compares Poorly to Notable Slot Machine Champion
Let's dive into the Rad Maxx slot by Hacksaw Gaming, baby! Remember ol' Pizza Rat, the rat in New York dragging a pizza like it was his last meal on earth? Yeah, that squeaky little survivor set the bar high on ambition and nastiness. In a grimy subway filled with desperation, he became a greasy symbol of grit, hustle, and gut-busting chaos. No sophistication, no hygiene, just street cred...and probably a zillion diseases. He didn't need a Michelin star. He was the restaurant review.
Now, I can't say for sure if they modeled Maxx from Hacksaw's Rad Maxx slot on Pizza Rat, but the dude's swagger is undeniably infectious.
Don't stand between Max and his lunch!
Rad Maxx is a 5-reel slot with 37 fixed paylines. Betting starts at just $0.10 and goes up to $25. With the max betting, you could win a whopping $312,500 thanks to the 12,500x multiplier. The volatility here is medium to high, meaning wins can come fast and furious or seemingly never, depending on the spin. The RTP is a solid 96.32%.

Wild Multipliers are the game's secret sauce. These bad boys range from x2 to x20 and multiply the total when they help form a win. If more than one shows up in a win, well, you get the idea. Massive win boosts incoming!
Each spin includes four Pay Direction Arrows, displaying how paylines are calculated. The left-facing arrow is always active, while the others can be triggered with a Wild Plus symbol, which activates one to three additional pay directions before wins are evaluated.
Trigger the Mad Maxx Bonus Game by landing three FS scatters, which gives you 10 free spins. The game follows the base game mechanic, but increases the odds of Wild Plus symbols appearing. Crazy Cat symbols become sticky for the round. Landing two or three FS scatters during the bonus adds +2 or +4 extra spins.
Get four FS scatters to unlock the Maxximice Bonus Game, which functions like Mad Maxx but guarantees a Wild Plus symbol on every spin.
Other bonus buys include the BonusHunt FeatureSpins for 3x the bet with a 5x better chance of triggering bonuses, Feline Frenzy for 50x with a guaranteed Wild Plus and three Crazy Cats, and direct access to Mad Maxx and Maxximice for 100x and 200x respectively.
** Is the Rad Maxx slot a worthy sequel?**
The Rad Maxx slot seems to share the same universe as RIP City, with both games featuring the same main character and several other design elements. I dig the idea of continuing a storyline, but it has to be done creatively without seeming like a rushed cash-grab.
In the case of Rad Maxx, it's unclear whether Hacksaw has crafted something truly new. The graphics don't seem to expand the existing universe, instead coming across as nearly identical rather than an inspiring evolution. However, the multi-directional pay mechanics are genuinely fresh and add a unique twist to gameplay. While it's arguable whether this justifies the slot's existence, the novelty does make it worth checking out. I'd rate Rad Maxx a solid 7 out of 10.
