Max Megaways 3 Slot Review

Big Time Gaming returns with a new mission in Max Megaways 3, transforming their beloved series into a trilogy!

Everyone’s favourite secret agent, Max, is back with a brand new mission for 2025. Max has his hands full as he finds himself in dangerous territory, surrounded by biohazardous materials and explosive chemicals.

This series has come a long way since the release of Max Megaways in 2022, which looked more like Thunderbirds than James Bond. In 2023, Big Time Gaming created a second release, harbouring many action-packed game elements.

In Max Megaways 3, you’re graced with a number of changes, including the Megadozer feature. Players have mixed emotions about this particular feature, especially when Danger High Voltage 2 was, to some, tarnished by this very feature.

With this in mind, will the Megadozer feature make a welcome addition to the series? Let’s play on and find out!

  • A win multiplier which increments by +x1
  • A random symbol is revealed and upgraded to a higher-paying symbol
  • A random symbol which acts as multiple instances is added to the reels
  • Each symbol on the reel is replaced with Wilds

Free Spins

There are 2 Scatter symbols available in the base game; Gold Scatters and Diamond Megascatters.

Landing 2 Scatters anywhere in the base game triggers the Free Spins round, awarding 10 Free Spins. If one Scatter is a Diamond Megascatter, 15 Free Spins are awarded instead. For any additional Scatters, +2 Free Spins are awarded.

Before the Free Spins round begins, you need to choose 2 Doors to reveal your Bonuses for the round. The Bonuses available are as follows:

  • Bonus Wild: Adds a wild symbol to the reel which may display a Multiplier of up to x10
  • Multiplier Symbol: A random symbol is added to the reel, acting as multiple instances
  • Increase Multiplier: Increments the win multiplier by +x1
  • Extra Spins: Awards an additional +2 Free Spins to your total
  • Increase Ways: Reel heights increase to 7 symbols high

In Free Spins, the revealed Bonuses are only awarded when Bonus Coins are pushed over the edge via the Megadozer. The Win Multiplier begins at x1 and increments by +x1 for each winning cascade.

Our Verdict

When you compare previous titles from any slot series, you usually find sufficient improvements, in both statistics and cosmetics. When comparing Max Megaways 1 & 2 against this one, you’ll notice that the max win cap has dropped slightly.

However, there is one noticeable difference in gameplay and that comes in the form of the Megadozer feature. This feature has worked in a number of Big Time Gaming titles before, but we were less than impressed with its appearance in Danger High Voltage 2.

The Megadozer feature is responsible for the activation of Bonuses during Free Spins and all modifiers throughout the base game. If you’re a fan of this feature, you will find it a welcoming addition to the Max Megaways series, but for the majority of players, it’s a bitter pill to swallow.
