Max Elements Slot Review

Max Elements: Slot Overview

Max Elements drops you in front of a strange stone tower in the forest, flanked by two massive frog fountains spewing water. The 5x6 grid floats between them, packed with carved stones for fire, water, earth, and wind, plus the Wizard himself. The soundtrack has a relaxed mystical vibe that fits the whole elemental wizard theme nicely, and the visuals feel clean without going overboard on quirkiness or distractions.

Mechanically, Max Elements is a scatter pays slot where 8 or more matching symbols anywhere in view award a win, followed by an avalanche that can chain up indefinitely. The game is highly volatile, with two RTP models, and the top one sits at 96%. Stakes range roughly from €0.10 to €20 per spin, the max win is 25,000x your stake, and there are no wilds, only regular symbols and special feature icons.

Max Elements Features

The symbol set in Max Elements is straightforward but effective. You get low-pay versions of the four elements, then high-pay versions of the same, topped by the Wizard, who acts as the premium symbol. Eight to nine of a kind pay between 0.1x and 0.5x your bet, scaling up to 5x to 100x for 25 or more matching symbols anywhere, with the Wizard delivering the best 100x scatter win.

All paying icons can land as Gigablox from 2x2 up to 5x5 in size, and each big block counts as the number of 1x1 tiles it covers when wins are evaluated. Since wins are pay-anywhere rather than line-based, Gigablox can spike the symbol count fast, especially when combined with avalanches. There are no classic wilds or standard bonus symbols; instead, the game leans on Rune modifiers, Mystery Stones, scatters, and special +1 icons.

Feature Rune Symbols in Max Elements

Feature Rune symbols are at the heart of Max Elements and tie directly into the Global Win Multiplier. Transform Rune picks one to three low symbols and turns them into a single high symbol type or even Mystery Stones, which can reshape the grid nicely. Delete Rune wipes out all regular symbol types that appear fewer than six times. Multiply Rune increases the multiplier by 2 or 3, while Add Rune adds 1 to 4 or 5 to 100, depending on size.

Mystery Stone & Gigablox Action in Max Elements

Gigablox are clusters of regular symbols fused into oversized 2x2, 3x3, 4x4, or 5x5 blocks. After any win in the base game or bonus, there is a chance the Summon Gigablox feature triggers before the avalanche. A random Gigablox then drops, crushing symbols in its path until it either sits fully on the grid or reaches the bottom, often creating hefty symbol counts once everything settles.

Mystery Stones add another layer. They can land as 1x1 or Gigablox, and they are not removed by avalanches. Instead, on every tumble they transform into a random paying symbol, then persist if the avalanche continues. If Mystery Stones are already present, only 1x1 versions can drop. When they sync up with a decent Global Multiplier and some timely Runes, those repeated reveals can get very interesting quite fast.

Free Spins & Super Free Spins in Max Elements

Three regular scatters in view on a single spin or within the same avalanche sequence start the free spins in Max Elements, granting 6 spins. At that point you choose between Mystery Stone Free Spins, which guarantee at least one 2x2 or larger Mystery Stone every spin, or Runic Free Spins, which guarantee at least one Feature Rune every spin. This choice gives you decent control over whether you lean into raw symbol setup or multiplier growth.

During any free spins mode, a Super Scatter can appear. When it lands, the feature upgrades into Super Free Spins and awards +2 extra spins. In the Super version you get the best of both worlds: at least one 2x2 or larger Mystery Stone and at least one Feature Rune per spin. The Super feature can also trigger straight from the base game if one of the three triggering scatters is a Super Scatter. A separate +1 symbol also lands sometimes, topping you up with one extra spin each time.

The multiplier behaviour changes a lot in free spins. In the base game, the Global Win Multiplier only moves when Multiply or Add Runes land, then it resets to x1 once avalanches finish. In the bonus it climbs by +1 on every avalanche automatically and never resets until the round ends. Hitting thresholds at x10, x30, x60, and x100 grants +1 extra free spin and speeds up growth by adding 2, 3, 4, and 5 per avalanche respectively.

Pros and Cons of Max Elements

From a player’s perspective, Max Elements stacks a lot on the positive side. Pay-anywhere wins, avalanche chains, Gigablox up to 5x5, four useful Rune modifiers, and persistent Mystery Stones keep the base game engaging. The dual free spin modes, Super Free Spins, and a 25,000x win cap give serious potential. On the downside, high volatility can feel punishing, and the Bonus Buy and Golden Bet options are not available for UK players.

Our Verdict on Max Elements

As someone who spends a lot of time testing slots, I rate Max Elements as one of the stronger Gigablox outings. The base game never feels like it leans only on big blocks, since avalanches, Runes, and Mystery Stones all pull their weight. When the Global Multiplier starts climbing and Mystery Stones keep flipping during tumbles, you get that proper sense of escalation instead of flat, one-note spins.

The volatility is no joke and there will be stretches where the game feels tight, especially if Gigablox or useful Runes stay quiet. That said, the design, the wizard theme, and the way features interlock make it easy for me to stick around. Once you hit a Super Free Spins session with an established multiplier, you can see why the 25,000x cap is there. I will be coming back to Max Elements for more runs.
