After a six-year hiatus, the beloved chameleon from Yggdrasil’s original slot is back with a sequel that amplifies every element of the experience. MultiFly! 2 MultiMax™ launches globally on June 30, bringing enhanced volatility, fresh mechanics, and a refreshed visual style to markets including the UK, Sweden, and the Netherlands. While the core identity remains intact, the new version introduces significant upgrades designed to heighten both excitement and payout potential.
Core Mechanics and New Features
The game retains the familiar 5×3 reel layout and 243 Ways to Win, anchored by the iconic Avalanche mechanic where winning symbols disappear and new ones cascade down. The signature MultiMax™ feature is more dynamic than before: every avalanche win generates a WILD, and each WILD randomly increases the reel multiplier by 1x, 2x, or 3x in the base game, or 2x, 3x, or 5x during Upgraded Free Spins. Unlike the original, these multipliers now stack additively across reels, applying to every winning combination that passes through them, which allows payouts to escalate rapidly.
A key addition is the Scatter Pays mechanic, where landing just one or two Poison Dart Frog Scatter symbols triggers an instant payout. To enter the Free Spins round, players must land three or more Scatter symbols, awarding 5, 10, or 15 spins respectively. Crucially, accumulated multipliers persist throughout the entire feature without resetting between spins, creating the highest win potential during this phase.
In select markets with participating operators, a two-tier Buy Bonus system is available. Players can choose between standard Free Spins or a premium package loaded with extra WILDs and multipliers, offering up to six distinct Buy Bonus options in total.
Performance Metrics and Visual Upgrade
The sequel delivers a high-volatility experience with an RTP of up to 96%, a maximum win cap of 10,311x the stake, and a hit frequency of approximately 20%. The visual design has been completely overhauled, with more realistic symbols and an immersive Amazonian atmosphere featuring glowing fireflies, chameleons, frogs, parrots, turtles, crocodiles, snakes, and lizards. The high-paying symbols include the reptiles and turtles, while the Poison Dart Frog acts as both the Scatter and the Free Spins trigger.

Krzysztof Pudło, Head of Games at Yggdrasil, emphasized the technical overhaul behind the sequel. “With any sequel there’s pressure to honour what made the original work, and MultiFly! 2 added another layer on top of that: we built it from scratch on a completely new technical stack. It was demanding, but rebuilding our tools and infrastructure gave us the freedom to refine and expand the game in ways the original setup simply wouldn’t allow”.
The game successfully balances nostalgia with innovation, delivering more free spins, higher multipliers, and wilder moments than ever before. By preserving the charm of the original while introducing fresh mechanics like additive stacking and scatter pays, MultiFly! 2 MultiMax™ positions itself as a powerful addition to Yggdrasil’s MultiMax catalogue.
