Game Overview
Max Win Gaming may be relatively new to the iGaming world, but they are already making waves after releasing several commendable slot titles and creating some interesting game mechanics such as their Multihops, Maxsymbols, and Deadspins trademarks. Their latest release utilises the latter and sees them making use of a Red Tiger platform to create the appropriately titled Don’t Hit Plz! It’s a high volatility, five-reel slot with an RTP of 96.32% and a potential maximum win of 25,000x.
In an innovative twist of events, the Deadspins mechanic offers players rewards for non-winning runs of spins. As a slot player who is all too familiar with brutal runs of dead spins, this sounds like a great idea, but I’m sure it doesn’t come without a catch. Whilst we’re pressing spin and hoping not to match symbols, we can enjoy the game’s outstanding graphics and design based on a chaotic post-apocalyptic theme. The 5×5 grid with 3,125 ways to win has an array of colourful character symbols, and although there are payout values attached to matching them, non-winning spins are the preferred option, initially at least, as this will fire us along a progress bar towards increasing multiplier values, and eventually, the free spins game. This bonus round features even higher multipliers to aim for, along with the possibility of triggering a second, enhanced bonus type, where dead spins will become even more important as each symbol that lands potentially reduces your win.
Although it’s great fun, playing a slot and hoping for dead spins takes some getting used to. It’s a bit of an alien concept at first and feels unnatural, almost like writing or kicking a ball with the weak side of your body. Before you dive in and give it a try with real cash, why not fire up the Don’t Hit Plz! demo slot for a practice run? It is free to play below!
Don’t Hit Plz! Slot Theme, Stakes, Pays & Symbols
Max Win Gaming describe the theme of Don’t Hit Plz! as being based on a post-apocalyptic world of chaos, fear, and despair, which all sounds a bit dramatic but reminded me of another game that I reviewed recently that was also inspired by similar ideas. It’s called Xterminate and comes with a high volatility warning from the provider Thunderkick slots, which flashes up on a banner once you load the game. Why not check it out yourself and decide whether it’s as dangerous as it sounds? It’s my first time reviewing a Deadspins slot, but if you’ve enjoyed the mechanic as much as I have so far, it would be worth taking a look at Midnight Thirst, which is another title that uses it and brings a vampire theme to the party. Next up, it’s time to dig deeper into the features of Don’t Hit Plz! and attempt to understand how non-winning spins can actually be good for our bankrolls. See you over at the paytable.
Once enough dead spins have been accumulated to build the multiplier to a lucrative value, we’re going to want to start matching some wins. The highest value payouts come from making winning combinations of five, and the top symbol is the Green-Haired Electro Dude, who returns 2x per way of five. Next, it’s the Goggle Wearing Wolf at 1x, and he is followed by the Top Hat Lady and Gas Mask Character at 0.8x. The lower value symbols are the Brain, Grenade, Poison Bottle, Skull, Skateboard, Spray Can, and Matchbox, all of which will pay 0.3x the total stake per way of five before any multiplier value is applied.
We have plenty to work with regarding stake options on Don’t Hit Plz! These begin at €0.10 and rise to as high as €100.00, with an abundance of price points in between. This ensures that all players will be able to find the right selection to suit their style of play.
Don’t Hit Plz! Slot Base Game & Modifiers
Don’t Hit Plz! uses a 5×5 grid with 3,125 payways, and wins are achieved by matching symbols from left to right across consecutive reels. Any symbols involved in a winning combination are removed from the grid, creating space for additional symbols to cascade down.
Dead Spins Progress Bar
Above the main reel set, a progress bar is displayed, and this is partially filled by each non-winning spin that occurs, with its progress being reset to zero once a winning combination is formed. Along the bar, there are several points to aim for, as described below:
- Level 2: Reached after 3 consecutive dead spins, activates a x3 multiplier, which is applied to the next winning combination.
- Level 3: Reached after 6 consecutive dead spins, activates a x6 multiplier, which is applied to the next winning combination, replacing the previous x3 multiplier.
- Level 4: Reached after 10 consecutive dead spins, activates the Underground Free Spins bonus.
Don’t Hit Plz! Slot Bonus Features
The Underground Free Spins feature is triggered by achieving 10 consecutive dead spins within the base game and will begin with 10 free spins and a x6 multiplier.
Free Spins Feature
Each consecutive dead spin will continue to add one position to the progress bar in this feature, only this time, once a new level is reached, progress will not go any lower than that point even if a winning combination is formed, which means that less non-winning spins are required to reach the higher points of the bar. Each time a new level is reached, two additional spins are awarded, and the prizes that can be won on the bonus progress bar are as follows:
- Level 2: Reached after 3 consecutive dead spins, activates a x13 multiplier, which is applied to the next winning combination.
- Level 3: Reached after 3 more consecutive dead spins, activates a x25 multiplier, which is applied to the next winning combination.
- Level 4: Reached after 4 more consecutive dead spins, activates the Junkyard Bonus feature.
Junkyard Bonus Feature
The Junkyard Bonus is triggered by reaching the final level of the progress bar within the Underground Free Spins game and begins with three re-spins, which are reset each time a symbol lands. This may sound like a familiar format, but this version comes with a big difference – we do not want symbols to land. At the start of the feature, a variety of stake multiplier values consisting of 200x, 500x, 1,000x, 2,000x, or 5,000x will be selected to appear above each of the five reels. What is left of these values at the end of the bonus will be summed and paid as a win, so the aim of the game is to spin out as quickly as possible whilst keeping as much of the starting values intact. The following symbols may land on the reels and have the described effects:
- Minus Symbols: Reveals a value between -20 and -1,000, which is deducted from the value displayed at the top of the reel it lands on.
- RIP Symbol: De-activates the reel it lands on, wiping away the value displayed at the top of that reel.
- Reset Symbol: Resets the value displayed at the top of that reel to the position it started the bonus at.
- Freeze Symbol: Freezes the current value at the top of the reel it lands on, guaranteeing that payout at the end of the bonus

Don't Hit Plz! Slot Review Final Thoughts
Okay, I was definitely getting Chaos Crew and Chaos Crew 2 vibes from this game as soon as I loaded it up, which are popular Hacksaw Gaming slots, as I'm sure you all know, so my initial thoughts were Don't Hit Plz has the potential to be something special.Right, not that's out the way; I’ve had a brilliant time testing Don’t Hit Plz! It ticks a lot of boxes, with its high quality, detailed graphics, exciting, innovative gameplay, and two fantastic bonus rounds, along with its strong RTP and max win offering. The engaging Deadspin mechanic is well incorporated into the game and works really well; the only slight downside is that, particularly during the free spins bonus, a winning spin often arrives at the exact point you don’t want to see it, for example, if you’re one position away from the next mark on the progress bar, but I guess that’s just the nature of the beast.
