Macau Racing

A racing theme certainly has its followers and fans, and those who fall into this category might be well familiar with the position Macau holds in the racing world. For other players, this might be a bit of a niche setup. 

And if you don’t mind the theme either way, you might be interested in the bonus spins, wins that go as high as 888 times your total bet, the special wild race bonus, and the sizable wins that come with the basic paytable. 

Theme And Symbols

It’s pretty obvious that the inspiration for Macau Racing is actual racing in Macau. That’s why the city and its roads show up in the background, with all sorts of cars, prizes and other symbols also showing up on the reels. The playing card ranks, styled in some ancient Chinese script, feel somewhat out of place here.

Sound effects are appropriate, especially when the animations come into play and the engines start revving. The style of the music feels very fitting too. At the end of the day, the style and design have achieved a very impressive look for this game.

Betting Options And Other Functions

The game uses twenty paylines, which are fixed and evenly distributed across the 5x3 reels setup. The player is left to simply set his total stake, which is divided between the paylines. There are options for all sorts of bets, simply choose the one that best fits your bankroll.

The wild is the most important symbol when it comes to wins, but that doesn’t mean the basic symbols wouldn’t dish out some considerable prizes from time to time too. On the other end, the minimum win from the least valuable three symbol combination is just double the line bet.

Special Features

• Five wilds on a payline pay 888 times the line bet.
• Wild race has cars racing across the reels in a random feature, leaving behind wilds or major symbols.
• Bonus spins are activated by three bonus spin symbols, which show up only on the odd reels.
• During bonus spins the cars can leave behind expanding wilds.

Verdict

Though motor racing enthusiasts are likely to give this game a spin or two, Max Win Gaming has somewhat failed to ensure that the attraction is there for the rest of us casino players. The game offers relatively high volatility but doesn’t really provide the sort of wins we’ve come to associate with it. The bonus feature, though sometimes spectacular in looks, fails to likewise impress in the long run.

At the same time, we have to admit that there isn’t much to choose from when it comes to the theme. Only a handful of similar games exist, like Highway Kings and Daytona Gold. For the theme, give it a few spins. You can also do so right here in demo mode!
