Hacksaw Gaming slots on mobile

Who is Hacksaw Gaming?

Hacksaw Gaming launched in September 2018 and is headquartered in Malta. Its parent company, Hacksaw AB, listed its shares on Nasdaq Stockholm on 25 June 2025 under the ticker HACK, and Christoffer Källberg is group CEO. The company site lists more than 250 games.

Slots are the main product, but Hacksaw also makes scratchcards and instant-win games, and it runs a platform called OpenRGS. For UK players the key point is its Gambling Commission licence, reference 000-054059, which lets it supply games to British operators. Like every studio on our slot providers hub, it doesn’t run a casino of its own.

Hacksaw Gaming slots on mobile: RTP, volatility and max win

The table covers the Hacksaw slots we review, ordered by default RTP. Volatility ratings with a score out of five come from the published game specifications.

Even the medium-rated games carry caps of 10,000x or more, which tells you a large share of the return sits in rare outcomes. Treat those caps as limits, not targets.

Hacksaw’s signature mechanics

VS symbols and DuelReels

In Wanted Dead or a Wild, a VS symbol that lands in a win expands to fill its reel and becomes a wild with a random multiplier from 2x to 100x, and several VS wilds add their multipliers together. Newer Hacksaw games use a related mechanic called DuelReels: a VS symbol in a win expands to cover the reel, two characters duel, and the winner’s multiplier applies to that reel. In Eternal Duel, released in March 2026 (opens in a new tab), DuelReels multipliers run from 2x to 100x and combine when several land in one win.

Reel multipliers in Chaos Crew

Chaos Crew’s bonus is a three-spin reset feature. Multiplier symbols either add to or multiply a value sitting above each reel, and every one that lands resets the count to three. When the spins run out, the reel multipliers are totalled and paid as a multiple of your stake.

Golden squares in the Le series

Le Bandit and Le Pharaoh turn winning positions into golden squares. When a Rainbow symbol lands, those squares become coins with cash values, clovers multiply nearby coins and Pots of Gold collect them. Le Viking uses a different idea, Raid Spins, a hold-and-win respin feature with three lives.

Cluster grids with multiplier wilds

Hand of Anubis pays for five or more connected symbols on a 5x6 grid, with Soul Orb wilds that build multipliers and multiply each other when they share a cluster. Rocket Reels uses a 7x7 grid where launched rockets leave multipliers behind. Our cluster pays glossary entry explains the format.

Hacksaw RTP versions: from about 96% down to 88%

Several newer Hacksaw slots are offered to operators in four RTP versions. The game looks the same in every version, so the help screen is the only place to see which one an app runs. Our page on whether RTP is lower in casino apps explains why the device itself doesn’t change it.

The pound figure in brackets is £100 × (100% − RTP). At the lowest setting you would expect to lose about three times as much per £100 as at the top one. Rotten, Stormforged, Beam Boys and Mayan Stackways are also listed with lower versions, though we don’t hold their exact figures.

What Hacksaw slots cost per hour at different stakes

UK rules set a minimum of 2.5 seconds per spin, which caps play at 1,440 spins an hour. Using 2 Wild 2 Die as the example, this table shows the expected hourly cost at that top speed, along with how many spins a £20 balance buys if nothing comes back.

These are averages over a long run, and high-volatility games stray far from them in a single session. At £1 a spin, 20 losing spins in a row would end a £20 session before a bonus arrives, and that can easily happen on games built around rare multipliers. Smaller stakes give the features more chances to land.

Hacksaw bonus buys and UK casino apps

Since a Gambling Commission warning in January 2020, feature buy-ins are not offered to British players. CasinoBeats covered the warning (opens in a new tab) at the time. In a UK app, every Hacksaw bonus round, from Chaos Crew’s reel multipliers to the Le Bandit free spins, is reached only by landing the right scatters.

Some in-game features look similar but are part of normal play. The Best of Bonus scatter in Chaos Crew 2, which plays the bonus three times and pays the best result, lands on its own alongside a trigger; it isn’t bought.

Playing Hacksaw Gaming slots on your phone

Hacksaw games open inside the casino app or mobile site you use, so the app’s store listing sets the minimum iOS or Android version. Our guide to casino apps on iPhone covers installation.

• Dense grids: 5x5 and 6x5 layouts put 25 to 30 symbols on screen, and Rocket Reels has 49, so a bigger display helps you follow multipliers.
• Instant-win games: Hacksaw’s scratchcards and instant-win titles may sit in a different lobby section from its slots.
• Stable connection: bonus rounds with several stages can take a while, so start them on a reliable signal.
• Limits first: set a deposit limit before you play rather than during a session.

How to find Hacksaw Gaming slots in a casino app

1. Install a UK-licensed casino app and complete age and identity checks.
2. Set a deposit limit when prompted before your first deposit.
3. Search the slots lobby for a title such as Le Bandit or Wanted Dead or a Wild.
4. Use the provider filter, if the app has one, and pick Hacksaw Gaming.
5. Open the game’s help screen and check which RTP version it runs.
6. Pick a stake within your age’s UK limit and your own budget.

Our partners don’t publish studio lists, so a missing title usually means that operator doesn’t carry it. Compare lobbies on our best slot apps UK list.

Alternatives to Hacksaw games with a welcome offer

We don’t have an offer linked to Hacksaw Gaming, and none of these offers names one of its titles. They are slot offers on selected games, worth knowing about if you’re choosing an app. 18+ and terms apply.

• PlayOJO: 80 free spins on Big Bass Bonanza with a first deposit of £10 or more, at 10p per spin. No wagering, so winnings arrive as cash. For new UK customers outside Northern Ireland, through the designated offer link, and not with any other offer.
• Coral Casino: deposit (some types excluded) and bet £10 or more on slots to receive 100 free spins on selected games, each worth 10p. You have 48 hours to accept and 7 days to use them, with no wagering on winnings. Deposits made with PayPal, Skrill, Neteller, Paysafe, a prepaid card or certain debit cards won’t trigger it. Open until 1 February 2027.
• Ladbrokes Casino: play £10 or more on slots to get 50 free spins a day for your first 10 days, 500 at most, valued at 10p each. Claim before 23:59 each day; each batch lasts 7 days; no wagering. Deposits by prepaid card, PayPal, Paysafe, Neteller, Skrill and Moneybookers don’t qualify.

Coral and Ladbrokes belong to the same operator, LC International Limited, so you might not be able to open new accounts with both. Free spins don’t change the house edge, and losing over time is the likely outcome.

18+. Every casino game has a built-in house edge, so over time you should expect to lose what you stake. Set a budget before you play and stop when it’s gone: safer gambling tools and support. Free, confidential help: National Gambling Helpline 0808 8020 133.
