Max Win

A max win on slots is the maximum possible payout a player can receive from a single spin. It can also refer to casino games in general, with some table games also having set max win payouts.  

What is a Max Win (in Slots)?

A max win is listed as a multiple, for instance 10,000x, and is assigned to every slot game so players know how much they can possibly win from one spin or bonus round. It also acts like a cap. Without a max win threshold, there could theoretically be no upper limit to the amount that can be won from slots. Hitting the max win instantly triggers an end to that specific spin and awards the maximum payout to the player.

Max Win on Table Games 

Max wins in the context of table games follow a similar concept. The difference is the gameplay. With slots, you might hit multipliers, reels could cascade and your win could accumulate incrementally. With table games like Ultimate Texas Hold'em, for instance, you might make a poker hand like a Royal Flush and receive the corresponding payout.

It's worth noting that slots will often have a significantly larger maximum payout compared to table games. This doesn't necessarily relate to the RTP (return to player), but there is greater potential to win large amounts from one spin on slots versus one hand of a table game. 

Examples of Max Wins

Max wins vary based on which type of casino game you play. Below is a table showing some of the most popular casino games and the typical max payouts available in each. It's important to differentiate the variance between casino games.

Standard roulette games will almost always have a max payout of 36x (a single number bet), and that will rarely vary between standard roulette games. Online slots, however, can have max wins as low as 100x, but as high as +50,000x. 

**Note that the table only shows max wins for standard casino games. Different variations (like Super Stake Roulette) and side bets being in play (like Perfect Pairs in Blackjack games) will significantly increase the max win potential. However, these often require an additional separate wager and are not part of the standard bet. 

How to Hit a Max Win? (How is a Max Win Triggered)?

Casinos aren't ignorant when it comes to pricing the odds and payouts of their games. They're businesses after all, so naturally they wouldn't host a game on their site where hitting a max win is very common. 

With table games, it's simple to understand how to get a max win. You make a Royal Flush, you hit your number on the Roulette wheel or you successfully predict the outcome of a roll of the dice. With slots, it's slightly more complex as max wins are triggered differently based on the game you play. Here are the various ways you can hit a max win on slots.

1. Max Win Symbol - Some slot games will literally add a max win symbol within the reels. Seeing it is rare, and max win being displayed is usually not enough to trigger a significant payout. Instead, you must either 'uncover' the entire symbol by expanding the reels, see the max win symbol to land in a certain position on the reels or successfully meet another in-game dynamic to trigger the win. 
2. Bonus Round Win - Bonus round spins naturally tend to pay out more than an average slot spin, so this is a way that a max win can be triggered. While still very rare, this method of hitting a max win is the more common compared to some other max win game dynamics. 
3. Wilds - Expanding wilds, sticky wilds or simply every position on the reels filling up with wilds can trigger a max win. However, this method is not always possible on certain slot games, depending on how the game's Wild mechanics work. 
4. Jackpots - Progressive jackpots like site-wide or provider jackpots are largely excluded from counting towards a max win, as they often don't just relate to one specific game. However, some slots have set jackpots (E.g. Mega, Super, Major, Minor) built into the game, which, when hit, will equate to the maximum possible win. 
5. Special Combinations - Specific, special combinations can also trigger a max win. For instance, landing a certain in-game symbol multiple times in the same spin or the symbols landing in a certain order can earn you the largest possible payout.
