MarkyNextDoor's Wanted win goes viral for the wrong reason

Fariha Bhatti Published 27/03/2026

MarkyNextDoor recently had a major win on Wanted: Dead or a Wild that came out of nowhere. He flipped a near-dead bonus into a max payout so quickly that he only realized what happened once the game flashed the “limit reached” screen.

MarkyNextDoor might be one of the few streamers to get roasted online even after hitting a max win on a volatile slot like Wanted: Dead or a Wild. After landing the huge 12,500x payout, he somehow ended up under fire for not realizing what he’d hit at the moment.

Since that stream, he’s been called out by Adin Ross, Trainwreckstv, and others across streams and clips, with Adin himself winning a big prize on the same slot just a few months ago.

But the lectures don’t really matter since it’s MarkyNextDoor that’s enjoying the $12,500 payout on a modest $1 base bet.

Here’s how MarkyNextDoor landed a rare max win

MarkyNextDoor chose Wanted: Dead or a Wild for his $1 base bet, not knowing that the modest figure will turn into a max. win. The streamer had 10 free spins to work with, but he burnt through nine of them without winning anything big. However, as we know, it only takes a single spin to flip the script.

On the final spin of the session, the game posted VS symbols on all five rows, which is extremely rare in the Hacksaw Gaming title. Even if the multiplier values are as small as 2x, they still end up paying big if you get a full screen since these Wilds multiply with each other. However, it appears MarkyNextDoor wasn’t aware of that — perhaps he should have read our guide to slot multipliers!

As soon as he saw a 2x and 5x multiplier appear, the streamer started complaining about “sh**ty multis”. Since his entire grid was filled with 2 × 9 × 25 × 5 × 10, he eventually won $12,500, which is the game’s max payout at $1 base bet. He could likely go higher, but this was Wanted: Dead or a Wild’s ceiling.

The streamer didn’t even know whether to celebrate or sit there confused until the slot’s max. win banner showed up, and that’s when it finally clicked. Max. wins on a slot this volatile don’t come around often, which is exactly why the clip took off and ended up on the feeds of Adin Ross, Trainwreckstv, and everyone else looking for some casino-based drama.

Both the streamers called out MarkyNextDoor for not knowing his slots. Adin Ross went as far to say that he “didn’t deserve this” after failing to recognize the scale of the win. Regardless of the reactions, the result doesn’t change, MarkyNextDoor still landed a max win and showed that even a $1 bet can turn into a full payout on a high-volatility slot.
