Hacksaw makes some of the most distinctive slots in the market, with RTPs consistently above 96%. Availability holds the score back: it is mainly sold to regulated European and North American operators and is harder to find in Asian lobbies.
About Hacksaw Gaming
Hacksaw Gaming was set up in 2018. Its operating company, HGMT Ltd, is registered in Malta, and the group's parent, Hacksaw AB, is a Swedish company. Unusually for a slot studio, it started with scratchcards. Its first products were around 30 mobile scratch games, and its first slot, Stick'em, launched in September 2019. Hacksaw still makes scratchcards and instant-win games alongside its slots.
Within a few years Hacksaw went from a small studio to one of the most-streamed slot brands. The turning points were Chaos Crew (2020), Wanted Dead or a Wild (2021), which introduced its DuelReels mechanic, and the Le Bandit series (from 2023), which spawned Le Pharaoh, Le Viking, Le King and many more. Hacksaw says it now has 250+ games live with over 3,000 operator brands in 35+ regulated markets. Since 2023 it has also offered its game platform (now branded OpenRGS) to other studios.
On 25 June 2025 Hacksaw AB listed on Nasdaq Stockholm under the ticker "HACK" at SEK 77 per share, valuing the company at about SEK 22 billion (around €2 billion). The offering was made up entirely of existing shares and was oversubscribed.
Hacksaw holds a Malta Gaming Authority licence (MGA/CRP/501/2018) and a UK Gambling Commission licence, plus licences in Sweden, Denmark, Greece, Romania and Ontario. Its website also shows eCOGRA certification.

What Makes Hacksaw Slots Different
- DuelReels and VS symbols: a VS symbol expands into a full wild reel if it would be part of a win. Two characters "duel" and the winner's multiplier applies to the reel. When several DuelReels land in the same win, their multipliers are added together. The mechanic appears in Wanted Dead or a Wild, Duel at Dawn and Death Becomes You.
- Tiered bonuses: three, four or five scatters often unlock different bonus rounds rather than more of the same spins. In Le Bandit, the top bonus can't be bought and only comes from five scatters.
- Lives-based bonuses: some games, such as Chaos Crew and Le Pharaoh's Lost Treasures, give you "lives" instead of a fixed spin count. The bonus keeps going while you keep landing the right symbols.
- FeatureSpins: a paid mode where each spin costs more but bonuses trigger more often. In Le Bandit and Duel at Dawn, BonusHunt FeatureSpins cost 3x the bet for about 5x the chance of a bonus.
- Bonus buy menus: most games offer several buys at different prices (80x, 200x and 400x in Wanted Dead or a Wild), each starting a different bonus round.
- Scratchcards and instant win: Hacksaw still makes mobile-first scratch and instant games, which are good for short sessions.
Tips for Playing Hacksaw Gaming Slots
- Pick the volatility rating, not the theme. Hacksaw publishes volatility on a 1–5 scale. Le Bandit, Le Pharaoh and RIP City (3/5) are much gentler than Chaos Crew or Hand of Anubis (5/5).
- Treat FeatureSpins and buys as bigger bets. A 3x FeatureSpin is a 3x stake. Budget for it that way, and don't switch it on to "win back" losses.
- Know the bonus buy rules. Bonus buys are banned in the UK and some other markets, and Singapore-facing casinos often block them while a deposit bonus is active. Read our guide to bonus buys before using one.
- Check which RTP version is live. Hacksaw supplies lower-RTP versions to some operators. The game's info screen shows the actual figure. See slot RTP explained.
- Use demo mode. DuelReels and tiered bonuses are easier to understand after a few dozen free spins.
- Set limits. Fast spins and big swings make it easy to lose track. Fix a loss limit and a time limit before you start.
