Game Overview

Got loads of dough and don’t know what to do with it? No, I’m not suggesting you start a bakery business – that’s not the dough I’m talking about. Dough, in Western countries, is a word often used to describe money. You know, like dosh, wonga, buck, or quid (depending on where you are from). Anyhow, back to what you should do if you have some spare dough lying around, use it to play on Hacksaw Gaming’s latest slot, Donny Dough, of course. It is a 5×4 slot with 14 paylines, a 10,000x max win, and a 96.23% RTP and below, you’ll find out more about what it offers.

Donny Dough is the purple-faced, bow-tie-wearing main character of this slot and is also the symbol you’ll rely on the most to pull in some dough for yourself. He will hold adding or multiplying multipliers of up to 500x that payout whenever he is lined up in a winning combination. There are also a couple of bonus games, the first which has sticky Dough symbols, and the second that has those sticky multipliers, and also a re-spins feature.

Ready to put your money where your mouth is and play this fun-themed Hacksaw Gaming slot? Before you do, you should practice on the free-to-play Donny Dough slot demo below.

Donny Dough Slot Theme, Stakes, Pays & Symbols

Donny Dough is the first money-themed slot I have come across that uses the popular (in the Western world) Dough slang word for money. No others exist, at least that spring to mind anyway, but if you enjoy playing slots themed on cash and lots of it, there’s no shortage of options. Piggy Riches Megaways from NetEnt is a good one to start with. The slot features a 6×7 reel configuration offering up to 117,649 ways to win, cascading reels, and a free spins bonus with an unlimited progressive multiplier. Quickspin’s Cash Truck 3 Turbo is another highly-rated slot that’s also worth a look, along with the brilliantly themed Bill & Coin slot from Relax Gaming.

Making our way to the Donny Dough paytable, nine regular-paying symbols can create winning combos, with the Pink Diamond topping the charts with 10x the stake for a five of a kind win. The Safe and Money Bag come next, both returning up to 7.5x, and the Wads of Cash and Stacked Coins share a 5x maximum payout. The Clubs, Diamonds, Spades, and hearts are the low-value symbols, and all pay up to 2.5x the stake for a completed line of five.

There are plenty of stakes available on the Donny Dough slot, with 29 in total. These start from a low of €0.10 and rise to a high of €100.00, with many well-placed options in between.

Donny Dough Base Game & Modifiers

The Donny Dough slot has a 5-reel, 4-row configuration and 14 fixed paylines. Winning combinations are created when 3 or more matching symbols appear across one of those pay lines from left to right.

Lootlines

The head of Donny represents multiplier symbols that can land in any position on the reels. Four variations of this symbol offer different multiplier ranges and how they combine with others.

  • Adding Multi-Dough: These have multipliers of between 1x and 10x.
  • Revealing Adding Multi-Dough: These reveal multipliers of between 15x and 500x.
  • Multiplying Multi-Dough: These have multipliers of between 2x and 5x.
  • Revealing Multiplying Multi-Dough: These reveal multipliers between 6x and 25x.

Whenever a combination of the above lands on a payline, you receive a payout as a multiplier of your bet. How that multiplier is calculated depends on whether they’re adding or multiplying symbols. Any adding will have their values added to the total multiplier, while multiplying types will multiply the total value.

Donny Dough Slot Bonus Features

There are two bonus games on Donny Dough. The first is triggered by three scatter symbols anywhere in view, while the second requires four for it to be activated. Let’s find out more about these bonus rounds below.

Sticky Dough Bonus

Three scatter symbols give you 10 free spins, and during this bonus, the Multi-Dough symbols remain sticky on the reels until they’re involved in a winning combination. Landing 2 or 3 scatter symbols during the Sticky Dough bonus will reward an additional 2 or 4 free spins, respectively.

Strike Gold Bonus

You also receive 10 free spins via four scatter symbols anywhere in view. However, while the free spins payouts out with all the features of the first, there’s another. A light Bulb above each reel will light up whenever a Multi-Dough winning combination has occurred across it. Whenever Donny’s Hat symbols land and there are lights lit up, a re-spin is rewarded. On that re-spin, the same number of Multi-Dough symbols are added to the reels as lights lit up.

Bonus Buy Options

There are four bonus buy options you can consider if playing from a region that allows them:

  • BonusHunt FeatureSpins: In return for 3x your current spin bet, you can spin with 5 times the chance of triggering a bonus game.
  • Ka-Ching FeatureSpins: For 50x the current bet, you can spin with the guarantee of at least 5 Multi-Dough symbols landing on the reels.
  • Sticky Dough Bonus Game: 90x the current bet triggers the Sticky Dough Bonus Game.
  • Strike Gold Bonus Game: 200x triggers the Strike Gold Bonus Game.

Pros

  • A Quirky theme that’s well-presented.
  • A couple of bonus games and the usual buy bonus options.

Cons

  • Slight variation of other mechanics already used by Hacksaw.

Donny Dough Slot Review Final Thoughts

The theme is fun, and the Multi-Dough symbols can throw up a bit of winning potential, but overall, the slot was a tad lacklustre, at least compared to some of the superb slots Hacksaw Gaming released in 2024 so far. All game reviews are subjective, though, so whilst this may not have ticked all the boxes for me, you might find it's an absolute blast of a slot game to play.
