Hacksaw Gaming

Hacksaw Gaming's catalogue ranges from Le Bandit's raccoon and rainbow features to the Western duels of Wanted Dead or a Wild and the street-art characters of Chaos Crew. Alongside its slots, the supplier offers scratchcards and instant-win games. The name therefore identifies a broad range of products, rather than one shared set of rules. This page explains several of its game designs and brings together the reviewed casinos that explicitly list Hacksaw Gaming in their provider inventories.

Hacksaw's history and licensed businesses

Hacksaw was founded in 2018, initially concentrating on its Remote Gaming Server platform. Game development and distribution grew around that platform, and in 2023 the business opened its RGS to third-party studios. The group parent is Hacksaw AB. HGMT Limited, registered in Malta under C84111, is one of its licensed operating companies. These roles help distinguish the brand a player recognises from the legal company named in a supplier register and the technology that delivers a game.

The supplier's homepage presents a portfolio of more than 350 games. This is its published portfolio figure, rather than a promise that every casino offers the full range. The catalogue separates slots, scratchcards and instant-win products. Its distribution business also serves partner studios through OpenRGS, so a shared delivery platform should not be used to overwrite an individual game's developer credit.

Le Bandit: cascades and Golden Squares

Le Bandit uses six reels and five rows with a cluster-paying format. Winning symbols disappear in cascades, along with other visible symbols of the same paying type, allowing replacements to tumble into the empty positions. The cycle continues while further wins form. Golden Squares highlight positions involved in a win and become central when a Rainbow activates them.

An activation can reveal coins, clovers and Pots of Gold. Clovers multiply adjacent positions, while Pots of Gold collect coin values and other pots in a defined order. The distinction is useful: a coin contributes a value, a clover modifies neighbouring cells, and a pot collects values. These are successive actions within the feature, rather than three interchangeable descriptions of a multiplier. The game's own instructions explain the collection order and when highlighted squares activate again.

Le Bandit's three bonus rounds

Le Bandit has three named bonus rounds with different Golden Square conditions. Luck of the Bandit can retain highlighted squares between spins until a Rainbow activates them. All That Glitters Is Gold keeps highlighted squares through the whole round, allowing repeated activations. Treasure at the End of the Rainbow adds a Rainbow on every spin while retaining the highlighted squares.

The last of those is described as a naturally triggered round that cannot be purchased. That matters when reading a menu offering access to other bonuses: the presence of a Buy Bonus control does not establish that every feature in a game can be bought. Compare the complete bonus name and its rules. For Le Bandit, how long the Golden Squares remain active and whether a Rainbow is guaranteed provide a clearer distinction than treating all free-spin rounds as the same feature.

Wanted Dead or a Wild and DuelReels

Wanted Dead or a Wild has five reels and five rows with 15 paylines. Its Western setting introduces DuelReels through VS symbols. A VS symbol can expand into a wild reel when it forms part of a winning combination after expansion. The duel then supplies a multiplier for that reel. When several wild reels contribute to the same winning combination, their multiplier values are added before the resulting multiplier is applied to the line win.

This is different from multiplying every reel value by the next one. The addition rule is part of the particular DuelReels implementation described for this game. Its published maximum win is 12,500 times the bet, which describes a limit in the game design rather than a result promised to a player. The useful checks are which symbols expand, how a qualifying combination is formed and how the multiplier is applied to that win.

The Wanted bonus-game differences

The Great Train Robbery bonus uses sticky wild symbols that remain available for subsequent combinations. Duel at Dawn instead emphasises the appearance of VS symbols and expanded DuelReels. Dead Man's Hand has two phases: an initial collection stage followed by Showdown, where collected wilds are placed on the reels and the accumulated multiplier is applied.

Those are distinct structures inside one title. Sticky symbols persist between spins, expanded reels affect the combinations passing through them, and a two-stage round separates collection from the later application of the collected values. When comparing game information at a casino, keep the bonus name attached to its explanation. A summary that mentions only wilds and multipliers loses the difference between these three features and makes the game harder to compare accurately.

Chaos Crew: Cranky Cat and Sketchy Skull

Chaos Crew uses a five-reel, five-row layout and introduces Cranky Cat and Sketchy Skull in its urban artwork. A Cranky Cat symbol can multiply a winning combination, and several participating cats can multiply one another's values. This makes the treatment of multiple symbols different from Wanted's addition of qualifying wild-reel multipliers.

In the bonus round, Cranky Cat and Sketchy Skull multiplier values are stored above the reels. Epic multiplier symbols then affect the collected bonus symbols. At the end of the round, the collected total is applied to the wager amount. It is useful to distinguish a multiplier acting on a particular line from values collected for a later bonus payment. The same familiar character can be involved in both, while the calculation takes place at different points in the round.

Coffee Dealer and Wild Coffee Reels

Coffee Dealer introduces Bean and Dean, the Caffeine Cowboys, in a city setting. Coffee Cup symbols can expand into Wild Coffee Reels when they become part of a win after expansion. Further cups determine the reel's multiplier, with each additional cup increasing that value. When several Wild Coffee Reels participate in one win, their multipliers are added before being applied to it.

Its bonus rounds have different cup conditions. Mug Life gives 10 free spins with an increased chance of Coffee Cup symbols. Brewfather gives eight free spins in which activated reels receive cups on each spin. Espresso Empire begins with 10 free spins and at least two cups on every spin. These distinctions identify what changes between the rounds without treating a higher feature level as a guaranteed personal return. The product's stated release date is 20 October 2026, placing it among the supplier's newer additions at the time of review.

Epic SixSixSix and Wicked Wheels

Epic SixSixSix uses Wicked Wheels triggered by blue or red six symbols on specified reels. The wheels can award multipliers, further wheel triggers or the game's maximum win. Multiple active wheels are collected from left to right. The colour distinction matters because the red wheels offer a different multiplier range from the blue ones.

The named bonus rounds also differ. Speak of the Devil includes Wicked Wheels, Let Hell Break Loose uses red wheels throughout, and What the Hell provides a red wheel on every spin. The last is presented as the Epic bonus. Optional FeatureSpins and bonus-purchase controls are separate choices with their own prices and conditions. Identify the selected mode before a paid round rather than assuming that a feature listed on the product page is active on every spin. Epic SixSixSix is listed with a 22 October 2026 release date.

R.I.P. City and expanding Wild Cats

R.I.P. City brings Ro$$ the Cat and Maxx the Mouse into a five-reel, five-row game. A Wild Cat can expand down a reel. If that expansion covers a regular wild, the wild becomes a multiplier applied to the expanded cat. The visual action therefore explains a calculation: a growing wild symbol can absorb a multiplier rather than simply taking up more space.

The Ro$$ bonus increases the appearance of Wild Cats. The Maxx bonus uses reel activation: once a Wild Cat lands on a reel, that reel can receive further cats across the remaining free spins. The difference is between a general increase in symbol frequency and a feature that records which reels have been activated. The title also offers FeatureSpins modes with different conditions. Read the selected mode's description and displayed cost in the actual game before treating its behaviour as part of the ordinary base spin.

RTP configurations and feature limits

Hacksaw's game pages can list several RTP configurations for one title. Le Bandit, for example, lists 96.34%, 94.23%, 92.17% and 88.36%. Wanted Dead or a Wild lists 96.38%, 94.55%, 92.33% and 88.42%. A casino offering the same game name does not thereby establish which configuration it uses. The relevant figure is the one disclosed for the opened game and the applicable mode.

RTP is a mathematical long-run return, not a prediction of the result of one session. A maximum-win figure is a different property, identifying a limit in the rules rather than a probability. Volatility labels describe another aspect again. Keep those values attached to their respective meanings when comparing games. A large feature multiplier, a maximum win and an RTP percentage cannot be used interchangeably to explain how likely a particular outcome is.

FeatureSpins and bonus purchases

Some Hacksaw games offer optional modes that change a spin's price or feature conditions. Le Bandit's BonusHunt FeatureSpins, for example, are described with a higher bonus-trigger chance in exchange for a cost of three times the stake. That price is a condition of the optional mode, rather than the ordinary price of every Le Bandit spin.

A feature purchase is another separate control. Its menu identifies which bonus can be entered and the amount charged. These choices should be read alongside the current stake because the displayed base amount alone may not describe the total cost of the selected action. The existence of an optional mode does not make it available in every market or every casino version. Compare the controls and information shown by the actual game rather than assuming that a remembered menu will always be present.

Speed Crash: choosing a target

The published Speed Crash description uses a target multiplier selected before the round, from 1.05 to 10,000. The displayed value then rises to a result. If it reaches or exceeds the selected target, the described payment equals that target multiplied by the bet. This is the rule stated for this product; the word crash alone is not enough to infer a different cash-out system.

That distinction matters when moving between instant-win titles with similar visuals. Confirm whether the game asks for a target in advance, offers a decision during the round or uses another action entirely. Read which button commits the stake and how the result is compared with the selection. The presentation of a rising number is only part of the interface; the target and settlement rules explain the actual game format.

Plinko and configurable risk

Hacksaw's Plinko lets the player select between eight and 16 rows of pegs and choose a low, medium or high risk level. Those settings affect the game's volatility. A ball falls through the pegs into a multiplier zone, and the resulting payment is based on the zone's value and the wager attached to that ball.

More than one ball can be in play, but each additional bet is another paid action. The useful checks are therefore the selected row count, risk setting, stake and number of rounds started. The different zones and configuration options distinguish Plinko from a fixed-line slot. A ball approaching an outer zone is part of the animation of an unresolved outcome, not a promise that it will land there. Use the payout information for the selected configuration when comparing the options shown in the interface.

Scratchcards alongside slots

Hacksaw also maintains a scratchcard range with titles such as Summer Scratch, Stack'Em Scratch, Chaos Crew Scratch and Koi Cash. A familiar character or series can appear in more than one format. Chaos Crew Scratch should therefore be identified as a scratch product rather than treated as the five-reel Chaos Crew slot with a different opening screen.

For a scratch format, read what starts a paid round, what the reveal action does and which combinations or values determine a prize. The catalogue name is useful for finding a product, while its own information explains the rules. A casino's slots filter may not display every scratch or instant-win game from the same supplier, so search the relevant category as well as the provider name when investigating its available selection.

What OpenRGS changes, and what it does not

OpenRGS is a development and distribution platform for partner studios. It provides a framework and backend services that can support game mechanics, mathematical configuration and regulatory requirements. A studio can use that platform to build and distribute its own game. This explains why a delivery relationship and a developer credit are different facts.

For a player browsing a casino, the practical consequence is straightforward: check the studio credited for the title you open. A game using Hacksaw's infrastructure does not automatically belong to the same creative catalogue as Le Bandit or Wanted Dead or a Wild. The selection on this page follows the Hacksaw Gaming names recorded in our casino inventories; it does not silently assign every OpenRGS partner's games or casino relationships to that one provider.

Supplier licensing and the casino account

The Great Britain public register lists HGMT Limited under account 54059 with active remote Gambling Software and Game Host (Casino) activities. The current licence is 054059-R-331396-007. The register identifies its head office in Msida, Malta. That address is distinct from the company's separately published registered address in Zebbug and should not be confused with a universal headquarters address for the whole group.

The group publishes supplier regulatory coverage across several jurisdictions, including Malta, Greece, Romania, Sweden, Denmark, Ontario and selected US states. Those permissions apply to the relevant entity and product scope. They do not establish that every casino carrying a Hacksaw title can accept a player from every listed location. Read the operator's own licence information and country restrictions before registering, then compare the available game and its configuration within that local service.

Comparing the casinos in this selection

The list contains 95 reviewed casinos whose recorded provider inventories include Hacksaw Gaming. Each entry provides a link to the casino review and a separate operator visit link. The review is the place to compare the account requirements, payment methods, withdrawal conditions and restrictions. The operator's lobby then establishes whether the particular title and edition you want are currently available.

Search for the complete game name when comparing related releases. Le Bandit and Le Bandit Hold & Win, for example, are distinct catalogue entries. A provider logo or a familiar raccoon does not identify the rules on its own. Using the review for the operator and the game's information for the edition keeps the comparison specific, without turning a supplier match into a promise of every title, feature or promotion in the wider catalogue.
