American Outlaws MultiMax Slot Review
The reels here are the riveted side of a boxcar rolling through a sunset frontier railway, iron wheels grinding on the rails below and a locomotive stack poking in from the right. Strip away the Wild West dressing, though, and this is a game whose paytable barely matters: with the top symbol paying just 4x, the reel multipliers do nearly all the paying, and a spin without them is a spin that isn’t worth much.
ReelPlay have wired every reel here to its own multiplier, so a single spin can snowball well past what the paytable suggests. It’s the same thinking behind their 10K Ways range, cousins like Hercules 10K Ways and Atlantis 10K Ways, transplanted into a Wild West heist.
It’s a 5×3 grid paying 243 ways, super high volatility, stakes from 0.20 to 7 per spin. Wins explode, wilds stack the multipliers, and six safes unlock the round the whole heist is building towards.
Base Game & Features
Ways and Cascades
Wins pay left to right on adjacent reels, with 243 ways to land them and the total bet doing the multiplying rather than a line stake. Every winning symbol then explodes and is replaced by symbols dropping from above and from the right in the top reel. Only the highest combination counts per symbol, and coinciding wins are paid together.
Before the refill, a wild is dropped into a random empty position. So one win feeds the next, and each link in the chain is another chance at a wild landing somewhere useful. The chain doesn’t end until a refill produces no new win, at which point the multipliers reset and the next spin starts from scratch. Hit frequency sits at 17.21%, which tells you the gaps between wins are real.
MultiMax Multipliers
Each reel carries its own multiplier, all of them reset to x1 at the start of a spin. Any wild that lands bumps the multiplier of the reel it appears on by one, permanently for that game. When a win pays, the multiplier applied to it is the product of every reel multiplier above the reels involved in that combination.
That’s the whole trick, and it’s a good one. A win using reels three and four, both sitting at x3, pays nine times the paytable value. The wild itself substitutes for everything except the scattered safe and doesn’t pay on its own. Its job is the multiplier, and it does that job whether you wanted it to or not.
Symbols and Pays
The paytable is honest about the division of labour: the characters pay, the royals fill space, and the multipliers do the heavy lifting. All values are multiples of the total bet.
- Cowboy: 4x for five, 1.5x for four, 0.8x for three
- Cowgirl: 3x for five, 1.2x for four, 0.6x for three
- Third high symbol: 2x for five, 1x for four, 0.5x for three
- Fourth high symbol: 2x for five, 1x for four, 0.5x for three
- Low symbol (A): 1.5x for five, 0.8x for four, 0.4x for three
- Low symbol (K): 1.5x for five, 0.8x for four, 0.4x for three
- Low symbol (Q): 1x for five, 0.7x for four, 0.3x for three
- Low symbol (J): 0.8x for five, 0.6x for four, 0.3x for three
- Low symbol (10): 0.7x for five, 0.5x for four, 0.2x for three
- Low symbol (9): 0.6x for five, 0.4x for four, 0.2x for three
Only positions containing the winning symbol count towards that symbol’s win, so a scattered cluster of cowboys on the left reels pays the same whether the rest of the grid is full or empty. It’s a small rule, but it’s the one that makes the cascade maths legible.
American Outlaws MultiMax Bonus Respins
Land six or more scattered safes anywhere and the heist proper begins. Three respins are awarded, all safes lock in place, and the remaining positions spin. Any new safe holds and resets the respins back to three; any wild that lands also resets them to three and bumps its reel’s multiplier on the way. The MultiMax values from the triggering spin carry over into the round.
Respins run until the counter hits zero or every visible position fills with safes. When it ends, each safe pays out a prize, and that prize is multiplied by the multiplier of the reel the safe sits on. Reel multipliers earned in the base game can therefore turn an ordinary round into something much bigger.
The safes carry non-bonus prizes from 1x up to 100x the total bet, drawn from a fixed ladder of values. On top of those sit the bonus prizes:
- Mini Bonus: 10x total bet, can land more than once per feature
- Minor Bonus: 50x total bet, can land more than once per feature
- Major Bonus: 250x total bet, once per feature
- Grand Bonus: 2,000x total bet, once per feature
- 10K Bonus: 10,000x total bet, paid when every position fills with safes
The Mini and Minor can repeat within a single round, so a feature that keeps resetting can stack several of them. The 10K Bonus on a full grid pays on top of everything already collected in the game cycle. Symbol pays from the paytable aren’t awarded during the round; the safes are the whole show. None of the bonus prizes are progressive.
Buy Bonus
The feature can be bought outright, and a buy plays a spin guaranteed to land six scattered safes. Multiplier upgrades are applied automatically before the round starts, each one adding 1 to the multiplier of a random reel. Three tiers:
- 50x bet per spin: 0-3 multiplier upgrades
- 75x bet per spin: 3-6 multiplier upgrades
- 100x bet per spin: 6-10 multiplier upgrades
The floor of the cheapest option is zero upgrades, so you’re buying the round, not the multipliers. At a 7 maximum stake the 100x tier costs 700 a pop. The upgrades land on random reels too, so even the top buy can’t promise a loaded left side.
Our Honest Verdict
Overall Rating: 7.6/10
Playing American Outlaws MultiMax means watching a lot of boxcar roll by between moments that matter. You’re here for the safes, and for the reel multipliers that turn each safe into something worth cracking open. That’s the one reason to pick it: when a round carries armed multipliers and the counter keeps resetting, it pays like a heist that went right.
The carry-over is the strength. Everything the base game builds walks straight into the respins, and the repeatable Mini and Minor prizes mean a small round can keep growing instead of dead-ending. The weakness is everything before the safes: at a 17.21% hit rate with a 4x top symbol, the base game pays in pocket change, and the buy tiers are priced for the patient.
It’s for players who like ways games with a hold-and-respin heart and don’t mind a quiet ride between scores. Anyone chasing steady wins won’t find them on this train. But for multiplier hunters, this is one robbery worth casing.
