StackWays And a Classic Hacksaw Bonus Round
Hacksaw Gaming slots are not complex and Stackways is no exception. The base game is all about the Stackways symbol and trying to unlock one of two bonus rounds – Stack Spins and Mayan Gold.
Stackways
Stackways is a variation on the expander symbol feature found in ‘Book of ..’ slots like Book of Dead and Book of Ra. When the Stackways symbol lands, IF by expanding up or down its reel it can complete a winline, then it does. The number of symbols in the expansion is determined by the number displayed on the Stacksways symbol. And the symbol chosen for the expansion is determined by which would create the longest win line.
Remember, wins are created by landing identical symbols on adjacent reels, regardless of their position, so the more symbols in the stack, the more winlines that are created.

Look out for Skull Scatters in the base game – landing 3 or more on a spin unlocks Stack Spins. You get 10 spins with a greater chance of landing Stackways symbols. This round can also be extended by landing 3 more scatters to give you 4 more spins.
During this round, if an Activator symbol lands, it GUARANTEES that on every remaining spin in the round, a Stackways will land.
Mayan Gold Bonus Round
The main event in Mayan Stackways is the Mayan Gold Bonus Round, triggered by landing 4 Skull Scatters at once. Like many other Hacksaw bonuses, it’s all about collecting multipliers to trigger a massive payout when the round concludes.
During the round only coins, multipliers, Stackways and collect symbols land. Each coin has a value that will be added to an accumulator displayed at the top of its reel. Coins may be Bronze (valued 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5), Silver (valued 10, 15 or 20) or Gold (valued 25, 50, 100, 150, 200, 250, 500 or 1,000).
Coin Values and Multipliers are added to the accumulators at the top of each reelWhen a multiplier lands, it is applied to the accumulator value at the top of its reel (2x, 3x, 4x or 5x).
Stackways fill the reel with a number of coins equivalent to the number displayed on the Stackways symbol. Each coin takes its value from the accumulator at the top of the reel. Once this happens, the reel locks. And once all five reels lock, the round ends.
But there is a twist. You can land a Collect symbol at any point which takes all coins on currently locked reels and puts them in a vault, unlocking the reels as it does.
At the end of the round, ALL coin values on the reels, and that in the vault, are added together and multiplied by your bet value for the payout.
Golden Opportunity
There is one more bonus enhancement in this game – if you land FIVE scatters in the base game you go direct to the Mayan Gold with a value of 50 displayed on each of the five coin accumulators above the reels.
