Facts checked on hacksawgaming.com and hacksawgroup.com on 3 November 2026. Author: Gambling Soft team. **Short answer:** Hacksaw Gaming is a slot and instant win studio founded in 2018 with its own remote gaming server (RGS). It lists 350+ games, 3,000+ operator brands and 40+ regulated markets. Its hits, such as Wanted Dead or a Wild, Chaos Crew and Le Bandit, are high-volatility slots with max wins of 10,000x to 12,500x and several RTP versions, the top one at about 96.3-96.4%. Through Gambling Soft the games are already connected: you get them with the platform, without a separate contract or API keys, from $7,500. ## Who Hacksaw Gaming is Hacksaw was founded in 2018. In the company's own words it started with the RGS platform and only then began to release games on it: digital slots, scratch cards and instant win games. In 2023 it opened the RGS to third-party studios on a B2B basis, so other developers can build games on its tech and ship them through its distribution network. On the games site this programme is called OpenRGS. The licensed entity is HGMT Ltd, a Maltese company with registration number C84111 and a fully owned subsidiary of Hacksaw AB. The group runs an investor relations site, hacksawgroup.com, with press releases and financial reports. Numbers from the hacksawgaming.com home page on 3 November 2026: - 350+ games - 3,000+ operator brands - 40+ regulated markets Recent news on the same site shows how fast the studio is spreading in regulated markets: a launch with FanDuel in Connecticut (2 November 2026), a deal with Bally's Intralot in the UK (16 October 2026) and a launch with Sazka Hry in the Czech Republic (7 October 2026). The site also announced the studio's first crash game in September 2026. ## Portfolio and hit games The catalogue is built around slots with big multipliers and bonus rounds you can buy, plus scratch cards and instant win games. New releases come out monthly. The latest titles on the home page are Epic SixSixSix, Coffee Dealer, The Jade Path Hold & Win, Wicked Grin and Demonic Dolls. | Game | Top RTP | Max win | Grid | Ways or lines | Volatility | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Wanted Dead or a Wild | 96.38% | 12,500x bet | 5x5 | 15 paylines | 4 / 5 | | Chaos Crew | 96.30% | 10,000x bet | 5x5 | 19 paylines | 5 / 5 | | Le Bandit | 96.34% | 10,000x bet | 6x5 | Cluster pays | 3 / 5 | Source: game pages on hacksawgaming.com (Game data block), checked 3 November 2026. ### Wanted Dead or a Wild A Western slot on a 5x5 grid and the first game with the studio's DuelReels mechanic. VS symbols expand into wild reels, and the winning outlaw's multiplier applies to the whole reel. There are three bonus games: The Great Train Robbery with sticky wilds, Duel at Dawn with a much higher chance of several DuelReels at once, and Dead Man's Hand, a two-phase round that collects wilds and multipliers before a Showdown. Max win is 12,500x bet. ### Chaos Crew A punk street-art slot on a 5x5 grid with the highest volatility rating Hacksaw gives, 5 out of 5. Cranky Cat symbols multiply any win they are part of and multiply each other on the same line. In free spins all multipliers are stored above the reels and paid out together at the end. Max win is 10,000x bet. ### Le Bandit A 6x5 cluster slot with a raccoon thief in Paris. Super Cascades remove winning symbols and all matching ones on screen, and every cleared cell becomes a Golden Square. When a Rainbow lands, Golden Squares turn into coins worth up to 500x, Four-Leaf Clovers and Pots of Gold. Three bonus rounds stack on top, the last one with a Rainbow on every spin. Max win is 10,000x bet. ## RTP and mechanics Hacksaw publishes several RTP versions for each game. Wanted Dead or a Wild comes at 96.38%, 94.55%, 92.33% and 88.42%. Le Bandit at 96.34%, 94.23%, 92.17% and 88.36%. Chaos Crew at 96.30%, 92.40% and 88.40%. The operator chooses the version, so check which one your licence and target market allow and which one you actually put in the lobby. Players compare RTP, and a casino that runs the 88% version of a hit will hear about it. Mechanics that define the studio: - **DuelReels.** VS symbols turn into wild reels with a multiplier. First used in Wanted Dead or a Wild. - **Super Cascades and Golden Squares.** Winning symbols vanish together with all matching ones, and cleared cells keep a marker that later pays coin values. Used in Le Bandit. - **Bonus Buy.** Most hits let the player buy a bonus round directly. Some regulators limit or ban this feature, so the game setup must follow your market rules. - **BonusHunt FeatureSpins.** For 3 times the stake the player gets 5 times better odds of triggering a bonus game. - **High volatility.** Hacksaw rates its games on a scale of 1 to 5, and the best known titles sit at 3 to 5. Max wins of 10,000x and more are normal for the studio. This profile suits streamers and players who chase big wins. For a balanced lobby add lower-volatility studios next to it. ## Markets and licences The footer of hacksawgaming.com lists the licences of HGMT Ltd: - Malta Gaming Authority, MGA/CRP/501/2018, valid to 5 December 2028 - UK Gambling Commission, 000-054059-R-331396-002 - Hellenic Gaming Commission (Greece), HGC-000055-MN, valid to 5 August 2028 - Romanian National Gambling Office (ONJN), L2223924Y001379 - Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario, GRSM1241574, valid to 23 May 2028 - Swedish Gambling Authority, B2B gaming software licence, valid to 30 June 2028 - Danish Gambling Authority, 24-432338, valid to 31 December 2029 A second company, HGIM Ltd, holds a software supply licence from the Isle of Man Gambling Supervisory Commission.
