The multiplier counter in Hacksaw Gaming's Miami slot rides on the game logo and climbs by one for every Multiplier symbol that lands, to a limit of 60x. In the free spins it never resets, which is where that 5,000x ceiling is meant to come from, and eight spins is not very long to build anything.
For Miami Multiplier, Hacksaw Gaming has opted to go with a configuration of 4 reels and 4 rows. Winning combinations can be created on one or more of the 256 ways, paying left to right on neighbouring reels. Four of a kind is the largest combination a way can hold on a grid this wide. Don't let the compact configuration have you deceived. In my own run a single base game spin carried the balance to a session peak of 5,279.50. This neon Miami slot is capable of producing large wins with the help of its Multiplier symbols, which can lift your wins with a Total Multiplier of up to 60x, and there's also a focus on the multipliers in the free spins round where up to 5,000 times your stake can be won, so you can play Miami Multiplier across all devices from merely 0.20 up to 100 credits per spin.
Symbols on the reels comprise lower value Sun, Martini, Watermelon slice, Star and Dolphin symbols. They pay 0.1 to 0.2 times your stake for four of a kind, and more lucrative are the fruit and beach symbols with pictures of the Pineapple, the Ice-cream and the Cherries. The Palm tree belongs to that higher group as well. Those high symbols pay 1 to 6 times your stake for four of a kind, and alongside them rest the two specials, the Multiplier symbol and the Scatter.
The Multiplier symbol can land on any spin. The Total Multiplier runs during base game spins as well as free spins, and its current value sits on the game logo while you play. Each one contributes +1 to the Total Multiplier, the first of them granting 2x in the base game, and this can culminate in considerable wins in the main game, while the Total Multiplier peaks at 60x.


It becomes more intriguing when you land 3 Scatter symbols anywhere in view on the same spin, and that grants you 8 Free Spins. The four rounds I triggered arrived 7, 90 and 12 spins apart. The aim is to keep landing Multiplier symbols, because in the round the Total Multiplier never resets, it only accumulates, and every win takes the figure reached so far. My weakest round of the four came back with 2 times the stake. Landing 4 Scatters grants you more free spins.
I ran 310 spins through it at a stake of 5.00. That put 1,550.00 through the game and returned 1,351.00. I finished with 87.2% of the funds back, 93 of those spins paying, 62 of the 93 paying less than the stake, and four free spins rounds appeared, all of them from 3 Scatters. The longest stretch without a win was 22 spins, ending on spin 80. Between them they paid 305.00, a little under a quarter of everything won. The balance closed at 4,801.00 from a start of 5,000.00. The best of them arrived on spin 147 and was worth 45 times the stake. A second round seven spins later added 11 times the stake. The largest hit of the session arrived in the base game on spin 14, at 67 times the stake.
Minty’s Closing Thought: Four free spins rounds paid 305.00 between them, while one base game spin on spin 14 paid 335.00 on its own. The Total Multiplier builds fastest in the place where I had the fewest spins to build it, which is a neat trick if you are the one selling the game. I closed 199.00 down over 310 spins, which is a gentler landing than a 5,000x ceiling tends to promise.
Miami Multiplier is a medium volatility slot, and the ceiling here is 5,000 times your stake. That is not the reach of the studio's more volatile slots. Le Bandit and Cash Compass are two other Hacksaw Gaming releases. But it delivers more balanced action with a chance to land respectable wins even in the main game, which renders it less of an all or nothing slot. My own 310 spins ended below where they began.
