Game Overview

I’m always excited when I first try a game from a provider I haven’t come across in the past – sometimes, it’s just that I haven’t happened to stumble across the company by random chance. Still, these new development studios are often formed by talented employees of existing studios who are fed up with seeing the majority of the fruits of their hard work going to their higher-ups. It’s a story that has played out dozens of times in the entertainment industry over the last few decades. Anyhow, The Max Miner video slot by Gamebeat is a 30 fixed payline online slot with an RTP of 96.36%.

Whilst the Max miner slot game doesn’t mention a maximum jackpot in its paytable or information pages, it does describe the four jackpot prizes at length, ranging between 20x and 1,000x your current stake. A free games feature is included, offering six free spins with the ability to retrigger multiple times with no specified limit. Another feature described as “respinbeat” presents Gamebeat’s take on the now familiar three re-spin bonus round. You can also opt to buy your way to the bonus rounds if this is permitted in your jurisdiction.

Max Miner Slot Theme, Stakes, Pays & Symbols

If the title “Max Miner” immediately makes you think of an old video game titled “Miner 2049er”, then I’m sorry to tell you, but you are officially getting old – or, at the very least, you are of a similar age to myself and I am indeed beginning to feel as if I am getting a little bit older than I am personally comfortable with. If, on the other hand, you have no idea what on earth I am talking about when I mention the game “Miner 2049er”, then you can feel slightly smug just for a moment – you are clearly too young to know about a smash-hit video game from the days of the Atari VCS (or 2600, as it was later known). But don’t get too excited about this issue either way – Max Miner video slot is entirely unrelated to the video above game anyway; I just couldn’t quite think of the names of any of the multitude of online slots which happen to share the same mining theme as this game at the time of writing. Take it from me, however, there is a reasonably-sized subgenre of online slots which use the American Gold Rush as their primary source of inspiration – it just so happens that this Max Miner online slot from Gamebeat happens to be unique enough that it didn’t trigger any immediate memories in my mind of other similar online slots.

Let’s move on to the paytable anyway – I’m sure it will be far more interesting than my ramblings about 1980s video games! The very top of the page is occupied by the scatter symbol, represented by a cart full of golden nuggets and paying 50x your bet whenever you hit five of them anywhere on the screen. This certainly isn’t the best return I have seen for five scatters, but so many games being released nowadays pay nothing at all for hitting the scatter symbols, so it’s certainly something that deserves a mention here. Unfortunately, the highest-paying regular symbol is the miner character who pays just 6x your current stake for a full pay line of five-of-a-kind, which seems low upon first impressions. The pickaxe is next, paying 4x your bet for all five, followed by the lamp at 3x, boots at 2.5x, and then a variety of standard royal symbols with returns that all pay 1.6x for five-of-a-kind. The dynamite symbol has the potential to pay the greatest sum of all, as it triggers the RespinBeat feature, but you will need to hit six of them anywhere on the reels to have a shot at winning one of the jackpot prizes.

There’s no confusion when it comes to setting your stake in Maxminer online slot – hit the stack of coins button, and a separate page will open with eleven different stakes for you to choose from, ranging from €0.10 at the bottom end of the spectrum and maxing out at €100.00 per spin for the truly brave.

Base Game & Modifiers

I can’t help but mention the music when it comes to the base game of Max Miner online slot. It’s quite catchy, but I suspect that it will soon begin to grate on you if you play this game for more than five minutes, so be sure to have your own music on standby if you enjoy playing it.

There isn’t much to talk about as far as the base game is concerned – there are multiple features and a bonus buy option, but no modifiers or anything else to break up the action as you wait for your next feature to roll around.

I feel as if this has a direct effect on the appeal of games such as Max Miner in territories where the bonus buy option is not available; you can buy the free spins for a very reasonable price of just 60x your stake in this game, so I do not doubt that doing so will be a popular choice with players in jurisdictions where this is permitted. If you live in the UK, however, you may be less likely to play this game, which is a real shame. I can only recommend that developers who wish to attract players from jurisdictions that use UKGC licenses include features that stay within the boundaries of the limitations imposed by our overly-zealous regulator.

Max Miner Slot Bonus Features

You have several bonus rounds and features to look forward to whilst playing Max Miner; the normal free games feature is triggered by hitting three or more scatter symbols and awards six free spins, whilst the “Respinbeat” feature requires six to 14 dynamite symbols before being triggered.

Free Spins Feature

Three scatter symbols will pay you 1x your current stake, whilst four will pay 10x and five awards the maximum of 50x your current bet. During the free spins feature, the Respinbeat can still be triggered, although it isn’t clear if the feature is more or less likely to occur during this mode.

You can re-trigger the free spins by hitting three or more scatter symbols during your six free spins. The low-paying royal symbols are also removed from the reel strips during the free spins feature, making it easier to win big money during the free spins than during the regular game.

Respinbeat Feature

If you land six to fourteen dynamite symbols during the base game or free spins, then you will trigger the RespinBeat feature. In this mode, all dynamite symbols that trigger the feature will be held in position for the duration of the feature whilst the remaining positions will spin independently.

If you hit any further dynamite symbols during this part of the game, the new symbol will also become locked, and your remaining counter will be reset to three. Once you run out of spins or the entire reel set is filled with dynamite symbols, you will be awarded a dynamite prize by the dynamite combinations table shown at the bottom of the paytable:

The way these prizes are awarded is quite complex. Still, in short, you can win by hitting many dynamite symbols scattered across the reels or by hitting a smaller area of dynamite symbols that form a 2×2 or 3×3 block. The prizes are 20x, 100x, 500x, and 1,000x your stake, but unlike many other jackpot features, just gaining entry to this part of the game does not guarantee that you will win one of the jackpot prizes.

Bonus Buy Feature

Finally, if permitted in your jurisdiction, you may purchase the regular free spins or the RespinBeat features directly without waiting for the relevant scatter symbols to land on the reels organically. The RespinBeat feature costs 50x your current stake to buy in this manner, whilst the regular free spins are slightly more expensive at 60x your bet.

Max Miner Slot Review Final Thoughts

I had a bunch of fun playing Max Miner whilst testing the game for this review, and the game made a great first impression on me as the first Gamebeat slot I have tried so far. I can’t wait to see what else this developer has to offer, and I only wish that the bonus buy features were available in my own country.
