Hacksaw Gaming Casinos

Hacksaw Gaming is the studio that decided the answer to a crowded market was to make everything harsher. Founded in 2018 and based in Malta, it is young by the standards of this page and has already changed what the top of the volatility range looks like.

The house style

A Hacksaw game is usually dark, usually funny in a way that is slightly unpleasant, and almost always more volatile than whatever you played before it. Wanted Dead or a Wild is the clearest example and the studio’s most played title in Britain, built around three genuinely different bonus rounds rather than one feature with variants.

The art is a real part of the appeal. Hacksaw publishes its own key art at full resolution and the games look considerably more expensive than they cost to run, which is not something most studios of this size manage.

Instant wins and scratchcards

Alongside the slots, Hacksaw makes a large catalogue of instant win games: scratchcards, crash style games and short form products designed to resolve in seconds. These sit in a different part of a casino lobby and are worth understanding as a different activity rather than a quicker slot.

A word about the volatility

This studio is not a good place to start. Extreme volatility does not mean larger wins are more likely, it means the same expected return arrives through far fewer and far larger outcomes, so the ordinary session is a losing one by design.

That is true of every slot to some degree and it is true of these games more than most. If the phrase does not yet mean something concrete to you, read our guide to safe online casinos before picking one of these rather than after.
