Drive: Multiplier Mayhem Bonus Features
Multiplier Wilds
You can find these symbols on reels 1-5. The Multiplier Wilds will multiply your bet by the same number (1-5) as the reel that it landed on. If two or more Multiplier Wilds show up in a row, they will be multiplied. For instance, a winning symbol combination with Multiplier Wilds on reels 2(x2) and 4(x4) would yield an x8 multiplier.
Free Spins
To activate the free spin bonus in the main game, you need 3 scatter symbols show up on reels 2, 3, and 4. During this bonus round, 3 Nitro symbols will award you with bonus rounds and overlay Multiplier Wilds. An overlay Multiplier randomly appears on any reel position of the game when triggered and acts as Multiplier Wild. You can only have one multiplier Wild symbol on a reel at the same time.
Nitro Collect Meter
This attribute is available only in the Free Spins. Nitro symbols are kept in a vertical line, starting from the bottom and moving upwards. The Nitro symbol will double as a Multiplier Wild if it lands on top of an overlay Multiplier Wild. The second level starts once 3 Nitro symbols have been collected. Upon entering this stage, you will get a Multiplier Wild of unknown value, and your next racing opponent will emerge. At the beginning of each round of free spins, the Nitro Collect Meter will be empty. A player's progress to the next level is immediately saved if he or she collects two Nitro symbols in one spin and three in the next. Furthermore, you can win more Free Spins when reaching a new level and an additional set of random Multiplier Wilds. You get 4 free extra spins plus an Overlay Multiplier Wild when you reach the second level, 3 spins and 2 wilds for the third, and 2 spins and 3 wilds for the fourth. The player races to the finish line to complete the remaining bonus rounds after they have collected the last three Nitro symbols while racing their final opponent. After getting 9 Nitro symbols, all the ones received afterward will be discarded.
Drive: Multiplier Mayhem Verdict
My experience playing this slot was not the best. The Hit Frequency that was stated by the developer seemed true and I was getting winning combinations every fourth or fifth round, but they were not substantial. After playing this slot for about 10 minutes, I got my first “Mega Win” of 275EUR, however, I was betting a generous 7.5EUR per spin. Getting the Free Spins bonus round seemed impossible, even though I was teased by 2 Scatter Symbols all the time. I really wanted to see what that bonus round has to offer. 300 spins and 20% of my bankroll later, I still didn’t get it. I started losing hope, then in another 30 or 40 spins I finally got the bonus round, I won 240EUR, got disappointed, and closed the game. This game is definitely not for somebody who wants to make some money. If you want to win, play Dead or Alive.
