Welcome to the weird and goofy world of Dork Unit, a somewhat whacky yet entertaining and enjoyable online slot to play from provider Hacksaw Gaming. The payline set-up is not what you’d expect from a 5×4 reel slot, with just 16 ways to win on offer, but hey, this is no ordinary place we’re taking you on this review. Hacksaw’s standard maximum win of 10,000x bet is included within this title, along with a healthy RTP of 96.24%, so we’re off to a good start.
Feature-wise, the game is bustling with action, which can only be considered positive. The base game has three types of Gift Boxes that can land, with the most powerful of these having the potential to produce win multipliers of 200x. Two bonus rounds can be triggered too, with the Gift Bonanza feature played out as a respin style bonus, whilst the Dork Spins is a typical free spin feature with huge multipliers in play. If you can’t wait to trigger either organically, then a bonus buy option is available for non-restricted jurisdictions.
Are you ready to meet this game’s main characters and learn more about the features? We must have at least aroused your curiosity somewhat with our intro to the game.

Dork Unit Slot Theme, Stakes, Pays & Symbols
If you’re of a certain age ( likely over 40 ), you’ll have no doubt heard someone being called a dork at one stage or another. Now, whilst this word is believed to have a much ruder meaning than most think, mainstream slang will, in fact, state that it refers to somebody who is uncool or a bit of a geek (Think the cast of our The Goonies demo slot). Ok, now we’ve cleared up the origin of the word; what is it doing in an online slot, you might ask? Well, if there were ever three nerds to be found in the land of slot games, then Hacksaw Gaming have delivered them in Dork Unit, as we are introduced to Tiny, Timmy, and Hefty. These strange-looking characters that make the Spinions look normal invite you into their cartoon-like world, hoping to ignite your inner dweeb into grabbing some lucrative wins to sharpen your style.
Speaking of wins, let’s take a look at the paytable. Starting with the higher value symbols, Hacksaw has opted for fruits, so we have the Strawberry at the top, paying 10x for a five a kind win. Next is Apple, which is worth 8x for a full payline, followed by Carrot at 4x. Finishing off the premium pays are the lemon and cherries, both of which will pay 4x bet for a completed payline. Unsurprisingly, for any seasoned slot player, we find the royal symbols making up the lower values. So, we have the Ace, King, and Queen, all worth 2x if five hits across a payline, and finally, the Jack, and Ten, both paying 1x for a five of a kind win. Completing the pays section is the Wild symbol that appears as a gift box. There are 3 of these in total, and they will substitute for all other regular symbols.
If you play Dork Unit for real money, you’ll need to first choose a bet size relative to your bankroll. Hacksaw tends to be very fair with its staking ranges, and you can start spinning from a minimum of €0.10 up to a maximum of €100.
Base Game & Modifiers
Joining the 3 dorks in this video slot will allow you to play on the game’s 5×4 grid and 16 fixed paylines. As we mentioned in the introduction, 16 paylines is a peculiar number for a reel format of this kind, but hey, who are we to argue with a provider as skilled as Hacksaw Gaming when it comes to creating slots? Regardless of the reel structure, for a win to be awarded, you will need to land a minimum of 3 matching symbols on adjacent reels, with the win needing to begin from the leftmost reel first.
Gift Boxes
As we covered in the pays section of the review, the gift boxes act as the wild symbol. There are 3 different gift boxes in total that can appear, each revealing a multiplier value when they do. Take a look below at what can land and how big the values may potentially be when they do.
- Common Gift Box: It will always reveal its multiplier when it lands of 2x, 3x or 4x.
- Rare Gift Box: It will only reveal its value of 5x, 10x, 15x, or 20x when it is part of a winning combination.
- Epic Gift Box: A value of 25x, 50x, 75x, 100x, 150x or 200x will only be revealed when it is part of a winning combo.
Dork Unit Slot Bonus Features
Our loveable dorks may lack a bit of social class and sophistication, but luckily they more than make up for that with some tasty-looking bonus features that can be triggered within the game. There are two in total that you can activate, as detailed below:
Gift Bonanza
Land 3 gift boxes anywhere in view, and they will first reveal their amounts before sticking in place. The game will then kindly reward you with 3 hearts at the top of the reels, with each of these representing a respin. Land a new gift box ( multiplier ) on the reels, and your respins will be reset to the 3. The bonus will finally end when your respin count reaches zero.
Dork Spins
The Dork Spins are triggered when 3 Lenny symbols land in view. During this bonus round, 10 free spins are awarded, Lenny can only land on reels 2, 3, and 4, expanding into a full reel dork wild when he does. These wilds then remain in place for the duration of the feature, with each spin revealing one of the 3 characters and their possible multiplier values. They are as follows:
- Tiny Timmy: Reveals either 2x, 3x or 4x.
- Hefty Hector: Reveals either 5x, 10x, 15, or 20x.
- Long Lenny: 25x, 50x, 75x, 100x, 150x or 200x
Bonus Buy
There are 3 options available for players who can access the bonus buy button on Dork Unit. These are displayed below for you to view:
- FeatureSpins: 3x bet – Each spin guarantees a minimum of 1 gift box landing.
- Gift Bonanza: 100x bet – The gift bonanza bonus will be activated.
- Dork Spins: 200x bet – The dork spins feature will be activated.
Pros
- Great theme that has been very well executed.
- The top prize of 10,000x bet is well worth winning.
Cons
- Varied RTP rates have been offered to casinos, so make sure you check which version you are playing.
