Mighty Masks (Hacksaw Gaming) Slot Demo & Review

Ooh…Somebody, stop me! Okay, so this might not be a slot based on the legendary Mask movie, but I just wanted to do my best Jim Carey impression out loud, although I’m not sure what the neighbours are probably thinking right now. Anyway, back on topic, Mighty Masks NudgeReels from Hacksaw Gaming is an African-themed slot with 5 reels, 20 fixed paylines, and an RTP of 96.30%.

What does Hacksaw have lined up for this time around with their feature set? At a glance, we see the presence of the Mighty Mystery Masks modifier, where all Mystery Masks symbols that land transform into either a wild or a random symbol from the paytable. If three or more of these hit in one spin, they will expand to cover all the reels they land on. Next up is the NudgeReels mechanic triggered when a Nudge Wild Symbol lands simultaneously as a win. This will give a spin of the multiplier wheel and up to 50 nudges from its landing position to increase the value of your win. Finally, we have the free spins feature, where more Mystery Masks and Nudge Wild Symbols are on the reels, improving the chances of winning.

It seems like it’s been a while since we’ve been on a good old African adventure here at Demoslot. So much we’re a little out of practice, I don’t know about you. Maybe taking our free demo slot of Mighty Masks for a few spins is the best way to get back in the saddle. Give it a blast; it’s available to try below.

Mighty Masks Slot Paytable

At the end of the intro, I said it had been a while since we had taken a look at any African-based or even safari-themed slot, but as you’ll likely be aware, there are plenty of legacy games in this genre from various providers within the industry, some which are great, and some, well, yeah, that are best left alone. A couple of recommendations to check out if you fancy it are SG Gaming’s Raging Rhino and iSoftbet’s Majestic Megaways, both of which have had relative success within this niche. So, how will Mighty Masks shape up? Perhaps the paytable can give us further insight into what we can expect.

Let’s kick things off from the top and sharing the spot for the highest paying symbol are the Wild and Lion, both paying 20x bet for a five of a kind win. These are followed by the Crocodile and Monkey, with equal payouts of 15x for a completed line of five, and finishing off the premium pays are the Rhino and Bird, with pays of 10x the bet for a full line of five. Finally, we have the low pays, where the five royal symbols, the Ace, King, Queen, Jack and Ten, all return 1x bet for a completed payline.

With over 25 possible stake sizes to play Mighty Masks at, you’ll almost certainly find something comparable to your bankroll when you enter the game. As for the minimum/maximum bets on the slot, these come in at €0.10 and €100, respectively.


Base Game & Modifiers

Mighty Masks Slot Base Game

Played over a 5×4 reel matrix, Mighty Masks features 20 fixed paylines in both the base game and the main bonus round. Hitting at least three matching symbols from left to right will award the corresponding prize from the paytable.


Mighty Mystery Masks

The Mystery Mask Symbol is present on all five reels. After a spin has ended, all instances of it will transform into either a wild or a randomly selected regular symbol from the paytable. If three or more Mystery Masks land in view, they will spread from their position downwards to the bottom of their respective reels, giving you more chances to create lucrative winning combos.


Nudge Reels & Multiplier Wheel

If the Nudge Wild symbol lands in view and there is at least one winning combination on the reels, it will activate the Multiplier Wheel positioned at the end of the 5th reel. This will spin to reveal a value between 2x – 50x, which will then be applied to your win. Furthermore, when the Nudge Wild symbol hits, it can contain a number ranging from 1 – 50. This represents how many times the Multiplier Wheel will nudge after it has been activated. All values from the nudges will be accumulated before being applied to any wins.


Mighty Masks Slot Bonus Features

There are bonus scatter symbols on all the reels, and landing 3, 4, or 5 will trigger the main bonus feature and award 10, 12, or 14 free spins, respectively.


Serengeti Sunset Free Spins

There’s not a great deal to separate the bonus round from the base game; other than that, the Mystery Masks and Nudge Wild symbols now appear more on the reels, giving you a better chance of hitting a win and triggering the Multiplier Wheel. In addition, extra spins can be awarded by landing 2 or 3 scatters simultaneously, which will top up your current total by 2 and 4, respectively.


Bonus Buy

There are three options available to players on the bonus buy menu, which are as follows:

  • BonusHunt FeatureSpins: Each spin is 5 times more likely to trigger a bonus game. This comes at the cost of 3x the bet.
  • Masked FeatureSpins: Each spin guarantees that at least 3 Mystery Masks will land in view for the cost of 40x the bet.
  • Serengeti Sunset Spins: Instant access to the free spins feature at the cost of 100x the bet.

Pros

  • Chance to hit a substantial win without triggering the main bonus round.
  • Respectable max win of 10,000x bet.
  • Good use of the nudge feature, which is challenging with online slots.

Cons

  • Variable RTP levels which reach as low as 88.38%.

Final Thoughts

Hacksaw Gaming is a provider that is on the up, and the NudgeReel is another new mechanic added to their arsenal after recently introducing players to their very impressive Stackways engine in their hit slot Mayan Stackways.Whilst there isn't a great deal wrong with Mighty Masks, it just lacks a bit of oomph that we have seen in recent releases from the developer. Still, it's great to see them trying new things, and it's only a matter of time until we see another blockbuster from this top-tier gaming studio.
