Maradona HyperWays Slot Demo + Review | GameArt

Maradona Hyperways Review

Maradona Hyperways by GameArt pays tribute to the recently passed Diego Maradona, who was one of the greatest football players of all time. Here, soccer fans will have an opportunity to join the Golden Boy on the pitch and play along with the legendary striker, as well as score wins up to 15,000x the stake.

Maradona Hyperways - Slot Outlook

Set in the backdrop of a crowded stadium, Maradona Hyperways is the second slot to feature the Hyperways mechanic, which debuted not so long ago in the Mega Bunny slot. Here, the actions take place across a 5x4 reel set, producing a maximum of 60,466,176 ways to win on each spin. That's far beyond the Megaways power! Each symbol in the Maradona Hyperways slot can land with a Multiplier of up to 9x, and the number of paylines is determined by the sum of all symbol multipliers that land in view. To achieve over 60 million ways, you need to land a 9x Multiplier on each symbol on the reels.

Maradona Hyperways Slot - Reel Screen

As for the symbols, the paytable in Maradona Hyperways counts 10 regulars, split into highs and lows. You'll find Diego Maradona images on the five premium symbols, while lows include captain's bands, referee cards, boots, whistles, and Argentine national team jerseys. Scoring wins requires landing at least 3 matching symbols on a single line starting from the leftmost reel, and 5-of-a-kind premium wins pay from 0.1x to 0.5x of the bet, though, as far as there're potentially millions of ways on each spin, you can hope for tremendous prizes even in the base game.

The math model here is similar to the one found in the previous Hyperways release. The default payback percentage is decent at 96.64%, however, the game comes with ranging RTP values, so you can get lower return rate of either 94.64% or 91.34% depending on where you play. With an over 96% payback, you should get your returns fairly often. Highly volatile, Maradona Hyperways boasts a betting range of $0.4 to $40 per spin, which is likely to appeal to both high-rollers and casual players. Most impressive here is the potential though, as the game boasts a max payout of 15,000x the stake.

Maradona Hyperways - Bonus Features

Well, the Hyperways mechanic is central to the gameplay here, and to help you score even bigger wins on each spin there's a Cascading Wins feature included. After a win, all winning symbols get removed from the grid to allow new ones to tumble down and form new combinations. The tumbles continue until there are no new winning combos in view.

In the base game, keep an eye for the Scoreboard which may randomly appear above the reels. Each scoreboard displays a random symbol Multiplier up to 9x corresponding to all 5 reels, and landing a Scatter anywhere on the reels will add a respective Multiplier to all symbols on that reel.

Maradona Hyperways Slot - Free Spins

It's active on each spin during the Free Spins, which are triggered when 5 Scatter symbols land simultaneously. The Free Kick feature will help you trigger the bonus, as it will Respin the remaining reel to award the missing Scatter if only 4 are present on the grid. Anyway, Free Spins kick off giving 8 spins to the player, and the feature cannot be extended. Much like in the base game, Scatters add ways-enhancer Multipliers to the symbols in their reel, plus now increase Multiplier values displayed on the Scoreboard by +1 whenever they land (up to +5 on any spin). The Scoreboard resets after each spin.

Impatient gamblers can opt for the Buy Bonus feature to skip the less-exciting part and gain access to the Free Spins immediately for the cost of 100x the total bet. As alluded to earlier, the RTP is boosted to 96.7% in the Buy Bonus.

Maradona Hyperways - Slot Verdict

Maradona left a rich legacy behind so that every kid on the planet Earth probably knows the name of Diego Maradona, and with the Maradona Hyperways slot, developer GameArt tries to keep his spirit alive for as long as possible. Well, it had another slot dedicated to the legendary footballer released earlier this year - Diego El Pibe De Oro, which celebrates the posh nightlife of the star striker, yet it's better for those who admired him off the pitch. This one, in turn, is a proper homage to Diego Maradona as a soccer player, and it's likely to appeal to more than just his fans thanks to the whopping potential and exciting features.
