Hacksaw Gaming

About Hacksaw Gaming

Hacksaw Gaming is a studio founded in 2018, domiciled in Stockholm with its operations run from Malta, and it has 87 slots in our library of slot providers as of 10 November 2026. It is known for FeatureSpins and for games such as Le Bandit, Wanted Dead or a Wild and the Irish-themed Le Prechaun.

Hacksaw AB is listed on the Stockholm stock exchange. Its 2025 annual report shows 254 employees at the end of 2025, up from 141 a year earlier, and 16 licences to supply casinos, among them Malta, the UK, Sweden, Denmark and Ontario. Revenue for 2025 was €197.4 million, of which EMEA, the region that includes Ireland, was €111.5 million. The report counts 45 in-house games released in 2025, and the Q3 2026 report, published on 3 November, lists 19 more in that quarter alone. Since 2026 the studio also lets outside studios build game clients on its OpenRGS platform, with Hacksaw supplying the maths and back end.

Hacksaw Gaming signature features

Hacksaw has three signatures. The first is the FeatureSpin, a spin that costs more than a normal one and makes the bonus likelier. In Le King the BonusHunt FeatureSpin costs 3 times your stake and makes the bonus 5 times more likely. The same game has a bonus-buy menu where the market permits it, with prices from 60x to 250x.

The second is the DuelReel. In Wanted Dead or a Wild, a VS symbol that is part of a win becomes a wild reel, and a duel decides which of two multipliers, from 2x to 200x, applies to it.

How a FeatureSpin works in practice: you pay a multiple of your stake for the spin, and in return the studio raises the odds of the bonus. On a 20 cent stake, the 3x FeatureSpin in Le King costs 60 cent a spin, and Hacksaw says it makes the bonus 5 times more likely. The studio's page says the options are available "where permitted by market conditions", so a casino may not show them at all. RIP City has two FeatureSpin modes, Wild Cat and BonusHunt, and Le Bandit has the 3x BonusHunt version too.

The bonus-buy menu in Le King lists four options on the studio's page: BonusHunt at 3x, Shamrock & Roll at 60x, Spin City at 80x and Jackpot of Gold at 250x. At 20 cent, those are 60 cent, €12, €16 and €50 for one purchase, and one purchase is a single bonus round, not a guarantee of a win. Wanted Dead or a Wild's buy menu opens The Great Train Robbery, Duel at Dawn and Dead Man's Hand.

The third is the coin-collect round used by the "Le" series. In Le Bandit and Le Prechaun, wins turn into Golden Squares, and a Rainbow symbol reveals the coin values under them. It works like the cash collect feature found in other studios' games.

Le Prechaun adds position multipliers. A wild in a winning combination marks its position as a 2x multiplier, and a wild landing on a marked position in a later win doubles it, so the multipliers stay on the grid after wins are paid. Its three bonus rounds are covered below.

In our library, 50 Hacksaw slots have free spins and 42 have multipliers. Fewer use cascading reels (7) or cash collect (8). Three carry the cluster pays tag.

  Le Fisherman

  Hacksaw Gaming

  A February 2026 fishing game in the "Le" series.

Le Prechaun's bonus rounds are what separate it from Le Bandit. Landing 3 scatters opens Arc Adventure, 4 open Clover the Top and 5 open the hidden Shamrock 'n' Roll round, each with 10 free spins and a Lucky Charm bar. In Arc Adventure the bar awards extra free spins and position multipliers. In Clover the Top the Golden Squares stay highlighted after they activate. In Shamrock 'n' Roll they stay highlighted too, and the bar starts at its highest level, which means multipliers and Rainbow symbols are in play from the first spin. On the base game, a Rainbow symbol turns Golden Squares into coins, green clovers, a gold clover, bags of gold or pots of gold: coins pay cash prizes, clovers boost the coins around them or all of them, bags collect the coins next to them, and pots collect everything on the grid. The Epic Rainbow reveals a special symbol on every position at once.

Hacksaw Gaming game series

The biggest family is the "Le" characters: Le Bandit, Le King, Le Pharaoh, Le Zeus (20,000x), Le Fisherman and Le Prechaun. Our library has 13 of them, among them Le Santa, Le Bunny and Le Vampire.

The punk series runs from Chaos Crew (2020, 10,000x) through Chaos Crew 2 to Chaos Crew 3, which reaches 30,000x. Marlin Masters has three games, from Marlin Masters to Marlin Masters Atlantis.

Hacksaw Gaming RTP and volatility profile

On 10 November 2026 the average RTP of the 82 Hacksaw slots in our library that publish one was 96.09%, from 94.16% to 97.57%. That is the average of the whole studio, not of one game. The two highest are recent: Le Vampire at 97.57% and Le Prechaun at 97.52%.

Those are top settings. Hacksaw publishes four or five RTP versions per game and leaves the choice to the casino. Le Prechaun lists 97.52%, 96.28%, 94.29%, 92.28% and 86.31%. Over €20 of bets that is an average return of €19.50 at the top setting and €17.26 at the bottom, a gap of about €2.24 per €20 staked in the long run. Look at the info screen in the casino's version before you start.

For volatility, 43 of the 82 games with a rating (52%) sit in the high band of our scale. Le Prechaun and Le Bandit are rated 3 out of 5 by the studio, so they play as medium. Nolimit City is the contrast: it rates all 27 of its games high.

Wanted Dead or a Wild shows the same spread: the studio lists 96.38%, 94.55%, 92.33% and 88.42%, and Le Bandit 96.34%, 94.23%, 92.17% and 88.36%. A casino choosing the second version instead of the first takes about 2 points off the long-run return, about 40 cent per €20 staked on Le Prechaun's 96.28% against its 94.29%. The game page does not say which version a casino runs, so the only reliable check is the information screen in the game you open.

If you want the mellow end, the studio's 3/5 titles in our library include Le Pharaoh, Le King, Le Cowboy and Dorks of the Deep; the 5/5 end includes Hounds of Hell and Sun Princess.

A max win is a cap, not an expectation. On a 20 cent spin, Le Prechaun's 15,000x is €3,000 and Le Bandit's 10,000x is €2,000, both rare.

Hacksaw Gaming themes

Hacksaw does not stay with one theme. It has outlaws and Wild West in Wanted Dead or a Wild, monsters in the Chaos Crew games and Anubis in Hand of Anubis. In style, six of its games are in the cartoon style. Its newest theme is Irish: see Hacksaw Gaming in Ireland below.
