The Drive: Multiplier Mayhem demo on this page is built on one idea, and it is a good one: the multiplier wild takes the value of the reel it lands on. Reel two gives 2×, reel three 3×, and so on — so the wild’s worth is determined by where it falls rather than by a random draw. That is a clean, legible mechanic, and combined with 96.7% RTP and medium volatility it makes for a slot that is easier to recommend than most of NetEnt’s mid-2010s back catalogue. The problem is the ceiling. Four different sources give four incompatible maximum-win figures — 5,109×, 10,000×, €750,000 and 120× — and NetEnt confirms none of them. This review prints all four and tells you plainly that the number is not known.

Play the Drive: Multiplier Mayhem demo free
The demo runs the full game on play credits with no account and no deposit. For this title it is especially useful: with the maximum win genuinely unknown, playing it yourself is the only way to get a feel for the actual distribution of outcomes rather than relying on figures that contradict each other. This demo is part of our free NetEnt slots.
Drive: Multiplier Mayhem slot at a glance
More on the figures above. RTP, volatility and the payline count are consistent across casinos.com, SlotsTemple, SlotCatalog, PokerListings and NetEnt’s own launch announcement. The maximum win is not consistent across anything, and this review prints all four competing figures rather than selecting one.
How the game plays
Five reels, three rows, 15 fixed paylines, paying left to right. The payline count comes from NetEnt’s own launch announcement, which makes it one of the few figures here with studio backing. The theme is street racing and the mechanic follows it sensibly: multiplier wilds land on reels two through five and carry a multiplier equal to their reel position — a wild on reel two multiplies by two, on reel five by five. Where more than one contributes to the same win, the effect compounds, which is the route to the game’s larger outcomes. Free spins trigger from three scatters landing on the middle three reels, a slightly narrower requirement than the usual anywhere-on-the-reels rule, and the multiplier wilds carry into the round. At medium volatility the base game ticks over reasonably rather than sitting dead between features, which is what separates this from the ten-line high-volatility games elsewhere in this catalogue.
The story behind the game
Released in 2015, Drive belongs to the period when NetEnt was producing a distinctively styled game every few weeks and the house look — clean three-dimensional symbols, a strong colour palette, a mechanic you could explain in one sentence — was at its most confident. It has not been given a sequel or a Megaways conversion, which in NetEnt’s catalogue usually indicates a game that performed adequately rather than remarkably. Its documentation has aged badly: a decade on, the maximum win has fragmented into four competing claims, and at least one listing has stopped crediting NetEnt as the developer at all.
Symbols and paytable
Symbol values sit on the in-game information screen and scale with the stake, so the table below describes structure rather than fixed cash amounts.
| 5 reels, 3 rows, 15 fixed paylines | Left to right, three or more. The 15-line count comes from NetEnt’s own launch announcement. |
|---|---|
| Car and racing premium symbols | The top of the table, carrying the line wins that matter outside the multiplier mechanic. |
| Card-rank low symbols | Filler. Combinations at this end return a fraction of the stake. |
| Multiplier wild (reels 2–5) | Takes the multiplier value of its reel: 2× on reel two, up to 5× on reel five. Multiple wilds in one win compound. |
| Scatter (middle three reels) | Three scatters on reels two, three and four award free spins. Note the narrower trigger — not anywhere on the reels. |
| Overall ceiling | Disputed. 5,109×, 10,000×, €750,000 or 120× depending on which source you read. NetEnt confirms none. |
The multiplier-wild row is the one that matters. Because the wild’s value is fixed by position rather than drawn at random, you can read your own spin as it lands — a wild arriving on reel five is visibly better than one on reel two, and no further information is needed. That legibility is the best thing about the game, and it is rarer than it should be.
Bonus features and free spins
Multiplier wilds
The mechanic the game is named for. Wilds land on reels two to five and carry a multiplier matching their reel number — 2× through 5×. Where several contribute to one win, the multipliers compound, which is how the larger results assemble.
Free spins
Triggered by three scatters landing specifically on the middle three reels, which is a tighter condition than most games apply. The multiplier wilds carry into the round, making it the most valuable part of the game.
Compounding multipliers
Not a separate feature so much as the consequence of the first one, but it is where the upside lives: two or three multiplier wilds in a single winning combination multiply together rather than adding.
- 96.7% RTP, consistent across every source. That is above the industry norm and comfortably above most of what is reviewed on this site. casinos.com, SlotsTemple and SlotCatalog all agree, and no variant builds are recorded.
- The multiplier mechanic is genuinely legible. A wild worth its reel number is the kind of rule you understand instantly and can read off the screen without consulting a paytable. Very few slots manage that.
- Medium volatility makes it playable for a long session. The base game returns something often enough to stay engaging, which is a real contrast to the high-volatility ten-line games elsewhere in this catalogue.
- The payline count has studio backing. Fifteen fixed lines comes from NetEnt’s own launch announcement rather than a review site, which is more than can be said for most figures attached to this game.
- The maximum win is a genuine mess. Four sources, four incompatible figures, spanning 120× to 10,000× plus a €750,000 money figure. You cannot plan around a ceiling nobody can state, and NetEnt has never published one.
- The free-spins trigger is unusually restrictive. Requiring the three scatters on the middle three reels specifically, rather than anywhere, makes the round harder to reach than the same trigger on most games.
- The multiplier caps out at 5× per wild. Against modern games with unlimited progressive multipliers, a ceiling of 5× on any single wild feels dated, even allowing for compounding.
- Documentation has decayed. At least one listing credits the wrong studio entirely, which is a fair indicator of how carefully this game’s details have been maintained over the past decade.
How Drive: Multiplier Mayhem compares
Against the other NetEnt games reviewed here, Drive is the one with the soundest RTP and the least settled paperwork — a combination that recurs across the studio’s mid-2010s catalogue.
| Game | RTP | Volatility | Top win | Released |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Drive: Multiplier Mayhem | 96.70% | Medium | Disputed (4 figures) | 2015 |
| Spinata Grande | 96.84% | Low to medium | Disputed — 3,000× or 600× | 2015 |
| Twin Spin | 96.55% | Medium | 1,080× (sources differ) | 2013 |
| Twin Happiness | 96.45% | Medium-high | Not published | 2019 |
| Wild Turkey Megaways | 96.05% | High | 7,239× total bet | — |
That table is a quiet indictment of how NetEnt documented its own back catalogue. Four of the five games have a maximum win that is disputed, unpublished or qualified — only the Megaways conversion carries a clean figure. The RTPs, by contrast, are all sound and all agreed. NetEnt was reliable about the number that is cheap to publish and silent about the one players actually ask for.
Drive: Multiplier Mayhem RTP, volatility and max win
96.7%, and this is the one figure in the review you can rely on. casinos.com, SlotsTemple and SlotCatalog all give the same number, no variant builds are recorded for the title, and it sits meaningfully above the roughly 96% industry norm — which puts it ahead of every Blueprint game reviewed on this site and ahead of Push Gaming’s Big Bamboo on its default build. For a 2015 game that is a good return, and it is the main reason this slot is still worth loading. The contrast with the maximum-win situation is stark and worth stating directly: the same sources that agree to the first decimal place on RTP produce four incompatible ceilings. The explanation is mundane rather than sinister — RTP is a certified figure that appears in the game’s own information screen, so everyone copies the same number, while the maximum win is a modelled figure that nobody authoritative ever published, so each site derived or guessed its own. Check the information screen at your operator as always; on this title it is also the only place the figure is genuinely authoritative.
Bets, bankroll and session planning
Stake is set per operator and divided across the 15 fixed lines. No reliable bet range is published for this title and none is printed here — the stake selector in the demo above reflects the real control.
Playing on mobile
Runs in the browser on a phone with nothing to install. A 5×3 grid with fifteen lines renders cleanly in portrait, and because the multiplier wild shows its value on the symbol itself, the key information stays readable at small sizes.
Five things to know before you spin
- Read the reel position, not the symbol. A wild on reel five is worth five times; on reel two, twice. The mechanic hands you the information directly, so use it.
- Do not plan around a maximum win. Four sources give four answers spanning 120× to 10,000×. Treat the ceiling as unknown and judge the game on its RTP and its mechanic instead.
- Note where the scatters have to land. Three on the middle three reels, not anywhere on the grid. It is a tighter trigger than you may be used to and it makes the free spins scarcer.
- Medium volatility means a longer session is viable. Unlike the high-volatility games elsewhere in this catalogue, this one does not require a large bankroll to see its features.
- Ignore any source crediting Relax Gaming. This is a NetEnt game. A listing that gets the studio wrong is not a listing to trust on the maths either.

Our verdict on Drive: Multiplier Mayhem
One of NetEnt’s cleverest mechanics, buried under four different ceilings
Drive: Multiplier Mayhem deserves better paperwork than it has. The central idea — a wild worth exactly the number of the reel it lands on — is one of the most elegant things NetEnt did in its most productive period. You can read your own spin as it resolves without consulting anything, the multipliers compound when several land together, and the whole mechanic can be explained in a sentence. Wrap that in 96.7% RTP that every source agrees on, with no variant builds lurking behind it, and medium volatility that makes a long session viable, and you have a genuinely good 2015 slot that has aged more gracefully than most. Then you reach the maximum win, and the floor gives way. 5,109×, 10,000×, €750,000, 120× — four sources, four answers, no two compatible, and nothing from NetEnt to settle it. That is not a conflict a review can resolve by picking the most popular figure, so this one prints all four and says the ceiling is unknown. The other marks against it are smaller: the free-spins trigger demands its scatters on the middle three reels specifically, which makes the round scarce, and a 5× cap on any single wild looks modest beside modern progressive multipliers. Play the demo above for the mechanic, which is the reason this game is still worth your time. Just do not build a session around a top end that four different sources cannot agree on.
