Slayers Inc (Hacksaw Gaming) Slot Demo & Review

There’s a first for everything, and today, it’s feeling threatened about playing a video slot. Upon opening the demo to check out Hacksaw Gaming’s latest release, Slayers INC, I was met with the “We will look for you, we will find you, and we will slay you” on the games info page within the menu. That Liam Neeson-style threat had me sweating for a minute, and I was about to hit the X button in fear of my life from the cartoon-style ninjas on the reels until my eyes happened across the return of the DuelReels mechanic, which has played a prominent part in Hacksaw hits such as Undead Fortune and Wanted Dead or a Wild. It’s fair to say the big boy pants came on at that point, as there’s nothing like a bit of VS action. Before I get into the full review of Slayers INC in view, let’s get the details out of the way. It is a 5-reel, 4-row, and 14-payline slot with a 96.28% RTP and 25,000x the stake max win.

The DuelReels mechanic involves two characters fighting to determine who wins and what win multiplier of up to 500x is applied to combinations created with the help of the triggering VS wild symbol. As well as being a big part of the base game, that symbol carries across to not one, not two, but three free spins bonus games. Not only that, there are even three upgraded variations of those bonuses, although these are just the original rounds run three times with you rewarded the result of the best. To top everything off, Hacksaw Gaming once again provides a whole host of buy bonus features.

If you like watching pixels fighting or simply enjoy the potential of landing big multipliers, you’ll probably want to see what this slot is all about. Fortunately, you don’t have to go far, as the Slayers INC slot demo is below.

There’s not much of a backstory for the Slayers INC slot, but we have ninja types on the reels and a few menacing words about what they’ll do to anyone who crosses them. When I think about other Ninja-themed slots released over the years, my mind always takes me to Play’n Go’s Ronin’s Honour, a slot that’s not only a visual feast but also because I always have a blast playing it. Alternatively, if you want to stick to playing free slots from Hacksaw, you could fire up the Ronin Stackways demo slot, which can give increased ways to win and some pretty impressive prizes.

It’s time to dissect the pays section next, and there are 11 paying symbols that can appear on the reels of the Slayers INC slot, with the Wilds and the Dragon Insignia symbols being the top dogs in terms of payouts. Any combination of the VS wild or regular wilds five times across a payline returns 10x the stake, with you receiving the same for a five of a kind win of the Dragon Insignia. The Blue and Yellow Ninjas come next, and both pay up to 6x, while the Skull and Throwing Star share a maximum return of 3x the stake. The Green, Blue, Red, Yellow, and Purple sign symbols represent the slot’s low pays, which all have a top return of 1x.

The minimum and maximum bets for real money are €0.20 and €100.00 per spin, respectively, which, in fairness, is fairly standard across Hacksaw Gaming slots. It’s a tried and tested range from the developer, so it will ensure that regardless of your budget, there’s a suitable entry point you are comfortable with.


Slayers Inc Slot Base Game & Modifiers

The Slayers INC slot features a 6×4 grid matrix with 14 paylines. Landing three or more matching symbols on one of those winways, beginning from the leftmost, will reward you with the payout associated with that combo in the paytable.


Duelreels

If it can create a winning combination, a VS wild symbol can expand to fill its reel and substitute for all regular symbols. It will also hold two multiplier values of 2x, 3x, 4x, 5x, 6x, 7x, 8x, 9x, 10x, 15x, 20x, 25x, 50x, 100x, 250x, or 500x. Two Slayer fighters hold a multiplier each and battle it out to determine a winner. The multiplier of the winner is applied to the winning combinations the symbol helped create.


Slayers Inc Slot Bonus Features

While the DuelReels mechanic ensures there’s never a dull moment in the base game, the real fun and potential come via three free spins bonus games and three upgraded versions of each bonus, as explained below.


Free Spins Feature

  • Rise of the Syndicate Free Spins: This free spins bonus triggers when three scatter symbols land anywhere in view. You get 10 spins, and you have a higher chance of triggering the DuelReels mechanic.
  • Wild Slayers Free Spins: Four scatter symbols trigger the Wild Slayers bonus game. During the 10 free spins, the Slicer mechanic activates whenever a VS symbol lands anywhere in view. That feature adds a full row of wild symbols to the reels.
  • One Slayer to Them All Free Spins: Landing five scatter symbols triggers the final free spins game which this time guarantees the Sliver and DuelReels mechanic activate on each of your 10 free spins.

Best Of Bonus

If you land three, four, or five free spins scatter symbols on the same spin as a Best of Bonus symbol to trigger the above bonus games, you trigger the upgraded version of the game that activates. I say upgraded, but really, the regular version runs three times over, and you win the best payout from the three.


Bonus Buy

Hacksaw Gaming loves its bonus buy options, and on Slayers INC, you can choose from:

  • BonusHunt FeatureSpins: Costing 3x your current stake, you’ll spin with five times the chance of triggering a bonus game.
  • Duo Duel FeatureSpins: For 60x, your spins are guaranteed to have a minimum of two VS symbols land.
  • Trouble Trio FeatureSpins: 110x your current stake gets you a minimum of three of those VS symbols on every spin.
  • Rise of the Syndicate Bonus: 100x triggers this bonus.
  • Wild Slayers Bonus: 200x triggers this bonus.
  • Best of Rise of Your Syndicate Bonus: 200x triggers this bonus.
  • Best of Wild Slayers Bonus: 400x triggers this bonus.

Pros

  • Bonus rounds galore and the entertaining and lucrative DuelReels mechanic.
  • Well executed theme.

Cons

  • The upgraded bonus rounds are just three tries at getting the highest score.
  • Variable RTP models can be used by operators.

Slayers Inc Slot Review Final Thoughts

You can count on Hacksaw Gaming to deliver high-quality slot content more often than not, especially recently, and I have to say that the developer has done it once again. I’m not sure Slayers INC hits as high a note as Wanted Dead or a Wild, but I'll let you be the judge of that.
