Slayers Inc

Theme and Design

Typical Hackaw Theme and Design Style In This Fighting Slot

Slayers Inc is 100% a Hacksaw Gaming slot. The design style with its two tone color scheme flecked with neon yellows and pinks, and the dark theme and ominous soundtrack, are all reminiscent of games like Hand of Anubis, Itero and Cash Crew. There is something faintly ninja about this one, with sword wielding fighters either side of the reels, their faces concealed by hats and masks, whilst the paytable is filled with symbols with oriental stylings, including the top paying red masks and ninja throwing star. If you enjoy the darker side of Hacksaw then this is a slot for you.

RTP and Variance

There are four available RTP rates for slot site operators in the UK who want to offer Slayers Inc to their players: 96.28%, 94.36%, 92.4% or 88.22%. Most run the game at 94.36% or above, but some will choose one of the lower rates. You can check yourself when you load up the game by hitting the hamburger icon in the bottom left of the game screen, then the ‘info’ button. Scroll down the Game Info page until you see Return to Player.

I recommend playing at MrQ from Lindar Media who consistently run Hacksaw slot at their maximum RTP rates.

This is also one of Hacksaw’s high variance games. This is the studio who brought you Hand of Anubis and Itero so they know how to create really volatile gameplay. There are plenty of wilds, multipliers and free spins to make this one go pop but it you’ll need patience along the way.

Maximum Win

The top payout available in Slayers Inc is 15,000x. That makes it amongst Hacksaw’s highest max win slots to date. So far they have not produced games with the kind of potential you see in NLC or Big Time Gaming slots, with most maxing out in the 10,000x to 12,500x range, but with this and 2 Wild 2 Die the top payouts are creeping up. Good new for those who like to chase down the massive wins.

Symbols and Paytable

Slayers Inc is a 6-reel game with 4 rows and 14 paylines to win on. You’ll need to land 3 or more identical symbols across any line to score a win.

There are 10 symbols in the pay table. They are the 5 low payers – shapes drawn in green, blue, red, yellow and purple. These are all valued at 0.1x, 0.5x and 1x for 3, 4 or 5 on a line. The premiums are the 4 characters – red mask, 2 warriors and skull – and what looks like a throwing star, value at from 0.5x for 3 stars up to 10x for 5 red masks.

There is also a Wild symbol, represented by the letter W, which substitutes for all pay symbols and is valued at 10x for 5 on a line.

Features and Gameplay

The core component of Slayers Inc is the DuelReels feature found in a few other Hacksaw slots. It can lead to some seriously powerful multipliers. Here is how it all works:

Slayer DuelReels

The VS symbol is key to this feature. When it activates, it expands to full reel height. But it only does so if that helps to complete paylines. When it expands, it will show 2 slayers, each carrying a different multiplier value. They duel it out and the winners multiplier prevails. The expanded VS becomes a wild and its multiplier is applied to all win lines that pass through it.

Multiplier values can be 2x, 3x, 4x, 5x, 6x, 7x, 8x, 9x, 10x, 15x, 20x, 25x, 50x, 100x, 250x, 500x! And … if more than one wild reel is involved in a win, then their multiplier values are added together before the payout is calculated.

And finally, in Slayers Inc it is possible to turn the entire grid wild by landing VS symbols on EVERY reel.

Free Spins Rounds

There are several free spins features in Slayers Inc. This is how they work:

Rise of the Syndicate Free Spins

The first free spins round is Rise of the Syndicate, triggered by landing 3 FS symbols on one spin. You get 10 plays with better odds of landing a VS symbol and activating the Slayers Duel Reels.

And, as with most Hacksaw slots, landing 2 or 3 more FS symbols during feature extends the round by 2 or 4 free spins.

Wild Slayers Free Spins

If you land 4 FS symbols on one spin in the base game you will trigger the Wild Slayers feature. This gets you 10 spins with the same format as the base game, but now a Slicer feature comes into play whenever the VS symbol lands. This turns one row on the grid totally wild.

And again, landing 2 or 3 more FS symbols extends the round by  2 or 4 spins.

One Slayer To Slay Them All Free Spins

The third free spins round is triggered by landing 5 FS symbols on one spin in the base game. This is the same as the base game except on EVERY spins you are GUARANTEED to trigger the Slayer DuelReels AND Slicer on each of your 10 spins.

Best of Bonus Feature

Slayers Inc also has a Best of Bonus feature. This is triggered by landing a special Best Of Bonus symbol AND 3, 4 or 5 FS symbols on the same spin in the base game. This triggers THREE rounds of a bonus feature, after which the highest win value of the three is paid out.

• 3 FS symbols and a Best of Bonus symbols triggers Best of Rise of the Syndicate
• 4 FS symbols and a Best of Bonus symbols triggers Best of Wild Slayers
• 5 FS symbols and a Best of Bonus symbols triggers Best of One Slayer to Slay Them All
