Fist of Destruction includes expanding wilds that will be familiar to Hacksaw fans as we’ve seen them in other games from the studio, as well as two free spins rounds.
Fist Symbol, Punches and Wild Reels
Look out for the fist symbols in blue and red. Only one of these can land on a reel at one time. When they do, they will expand upwards to the top of their reel as a wild IF by doing so they can complete at least one payline.
A 2x multiplier wild reel from expanding fistAnd in a clever twist, IF when they expand upwards, the fist passes through – i.e. punches – a fighter of the opposing team, based on their color – then a multiplier is added to the wild reel. The multiplier is then applied to all wins that pass through that reel.
And if your fist punches more than one fighter of the opposite team, then more than one multiplier is created and they are added together for that reel.
This being Hacksaw, we have a big range of multipliers, with big numbers at the top: 2x, 3x, 4x, 5x, 6x, 7x, 8x, 9x, 10x, 15x, 20x, 25x, 50x, 100x or 200x.
Throwdown! Bonus Free Spins With Victory Levels
In the first of two free spins rounds the competitive elements of the game are enhanced and a nice progressive format is introduced.
A fist punches upwards on reel 3 to trigger a winFirstly, you need 3 FS Scatters to land on one spin to trigger the Throwdown! Bonus feature. That gets you 10 spins. Whilst the mechanics of the game do not change, there is an added Victory Level feature to look out for.
Each team – red and blue – start with a 3+ Victory Level. When a team’s fist punches through an opponent it earns one Victory Point. When 3 points have been collected, then an an Epic Drop is awarded AND their Victory Level increases by 1.
What is an Epic Drop? This is a re-spin with a GUARANTEED number of fist symbols. The number of fist symbols depends on the Victory Level as follows:
- Victory Level 3+ – at least 3 fists in the color of the team that earned the Epic Drop.
- Victory Level 4+ – at least 4 fists in the color of the team that earned the Epic Drop.
- Victory Level 5+ – at least 5 fists in the color of the team that earned the Epic Drop.
NOTE: the fists that land in Epic Drops do NOT contribute to the Victory Levels.
As with all Hacksaw slots, landing FS Scatters during the bonus round can get your more spins. 2 FS get you 2 more spins and 3 FS get you 4 more spins.
Ultimate Throwdown! Bonus
The enhanced free spins round is called Ultimate Throwdown! You need to land 4 FS Scatters in the base game to trigger it. The format is the same as the standard Throwdown! except you start at Victory Level 4+.
And once again, the round can be extended by landing 2 FS Scatters to get you 2 more spins or 3 FS Scatters to get you 4 more spins.
