Max Megaways 2 Slot Review

The Max Megaways 2 Slot Game

Max Megaways 2 from Big Time Gaming shifts Max’s mission to the surface of the moon, with lunar bases, biodomes and Earth hanging in the distance. The 60s spy theme is still there, only this time wrapped in sci‑fi gear and a lively soundtrack. The layout sticks to 6 reels with an extra reel above reels 2 to 5, giving anything from 2 to 7 symbols per reel and up to 117,649 ways.

From a maths point of view, Max Megaways 2 is a very highly volatile slot, so I treat it as a high-risk, high-reward mission. The standard RTP sits around 96.65%, dropping slightly to 96.64% when you use the feature buy. Stakes range roughly between 0.20 and 6 per spin, and the whole setup feels tailored for those who enjoy aggressive Megaways gameplay with strong feature potential.

Symbols and Payouts in Max Megaways 2

The symbol set in Max Megaways 2 keeps things familiar if you know BTG’s style. You get six low-paying 9, 10, J, Q, K and A royals, followed by four gleaming gems as premiums. Hitting six of a kind pays around 0.1 to 0.4 times your stake for the royals and 0.25 to 5 times the bet for the gemstones, with the top purple gem paying from just two reels.

The wild symbol comes in to substitute for all regular pay symbols, helping to complete or improve winning combinations across the Megaways grid. Gold scatters and the Diamond Megascatter are the key to free spins. Wins form when matching symbols land on at least three adjacent reels from the left, and any win triggers the Reaction mechanic, removing winning symbols so new ones drop in from above and from the right on the extra reel.

Max Megaways 2 Slot Bonus Features

Bonus action in Max Megaways 2 starts with the extra reel and cascading reactions, but the random base game modifiers are where things heats up. On any spin or reaction, you can get Maximum Megaways with 7 symbols on each reel, a Multiplier Wild up to x10 on the extra reel, a Horizontal Wild turning the whole top row wild, or Symbol to Wild converting one symbol type to wilds on reels 2 to 5.

Free spins arrive when you land 3 or more scatters, awarding 10 spins plus 2 extra spins for each scatter beyond the third. If a Diamond Megascatter is part of the trigger, you enter Enhanced Free Spins. Before the round begins, you pick 2 doors in the regular feature or 3 in the enhanced one, gaining modifiers like Multiplier Boost starting the multiplier at x6, Symbol to Wild, Double Multiplier, 2 Scatters Retrigger, or Increased Ways.

During free spins, a progressive win multiplier starts at x1 and rises after every reaction without resetting, and the right combination of doors can turn it into a serious stacker. Landing 3 scatters in one free spin sequence adds 5 more spins, with extra scatters adding 5 each. Outside the UK, Win Exchange lets you trade a 100x win for 10 spins or gamble 25x to 99x wins, while the Bonus Buy sells regular spins for 75x and enhanced spins for 200x, both with RTP around 96.64%.

How to Win at Max Megaways 2 Slot

Winning in Max Megaways 2 is all about making the most of the Megaways engine and the reactions. Each spin uses 6 reels with between 2 and 7 symbols each, plus the extra reel on top of reels 2 to 5, giving up to 117,649 ways. Wins start from the leftmost reel, and you usually need at least three matching symbols on consecutive reels. I set stakes between 0.20 and 6 and often use Autoplay with sensible loss and win limits, then aim to hit the modifiers and, ideally, the enhanced free spins.

Max Megaways 2 Slot RTP & Volatility

Max Megaways 2 comes with an overall RTP of about 96.65%, which drops very slightly to 96.64% when you use the feature buy. That sits above average, but the volatility is rated as very high, so the balance can swing sharply. On paper the slot can pay up to 147,620 times your stake, one of the highest Megaways caps around, though that figure is based on massive sample sizes and will be rare in practice.

The Final Thoughts on Max Megaways 2

Having spent time with both instalments, Max Megaways 2 feels like a natural sequel rather than a total rework. The moon base setting looks great, the 60s spy flavour still comes through, and the upgraded stats make the ride more appealing for me. The random base game modifiers keep normal spins lively, while the door picks and progressive multiplier in free spins give that extra dash of tension when the feature finally lands.

Max Megaways 2 is not for everyone; the very high volatility, lack of a jackpot and familiar gem symbols may put some players off. For me, though, the combination of Reaction wins, Enhanced Free Spins and that 147,620x cap ticks the right boxes when I am in the mood for something punchy. If you enjoy feature-packed Megaways slots with serious long-term potential, this lunar mission is well worth firing up.
