Vending Machine, like many Hacksaw Gaming slots, is ALL about the multipliers! The objective is to build them as high as possible then land Lightning Bolts to unlock them so that they are applied to your latest win.
Cascading Wins
First thing to note is that this is a cascading wins game. That means after any winning spin, winning symbols are removed and new ones drop in to replace them. This may create more wins to trigger the process again.
Multiplier Lights on Every Row
To the left side of each row are multiplier values displayed on arrows. The value of each multiplier is chosen at random before each spin – 2x, 3x, 4x, 5x, 6x, 7x, 8x, 9x, 10x.
Vending Machine – Multipliers light up down the left of the reelsThe multiplier values can be increased in TWO ways.
First, after a winning spin, multipliers on all rows that include a symbol that was part of the win increase by the same number of winning symbols on the row. For example, if a winline converges with a row twice, then the multiplier for that row increases by 2x.
Second, if a Multiplier Boost symbol lands, then it increases the multiplier on the row it landed on by 2x. An Epic Multiplier Boost increases ALL multipliers by 2x.
Then … if a Lightning Bolt lands on a row, it activates the multiplier for that row for the duration of the rest of the cascades.
Now, once activated, a multiplier is applied to ALL winlines that converge with its’ row.
But beware … because if a Blackout Skull lands on a row, it deactivates the multiplier!
Two Free Spins Rounds
There are also two free spins rounds in this game.
First is Lo Fi Free Spins. If you land 3 FS Scatters, you will trigger this round with THREE activated multipliers. The round just keeps going until each of the three has been deactivated.
Finally, there is a Spin and Chill round triggered by landing FOUR FS scatters. Now, ALL FIVE multipliers are active when the round starts. And spins continue until each has been deactivated.

As a cheeky extra, Hacksaw have added this one. At the end of any spin / cascade, randomly all low payers may be removed for one more cascade.
