Paylines
Scatter Pays (5+ symbols anywhere)
Smokey is back, and this time the raccoon mascot has swapped his usual gear for a green leprechaun coat, a shamrock-pinned hat, and a wooden shillelagh. Hacksaw drops the action into a moonlit Irish forest with glowing mushrooms and a tipped pot of gold spilling coins along the corner. It's whimsical, sure, but the math underneath is all business.
The board runs 6×5 with scatter pays. Forget paylines. You need at least five matching symbols anywhere on the grid, and wins go up in tiers from 5 matches to 14+. Card royals sit at the bottom (250x for a full board of the highest royal), and the climb finishes with Smokey himself paying 1,000x for 14 or more. Between cascades, the tumble mechanic clears winning symbols so chains can keep stacking.
Here's where it gets clever. When wins happen, the positions get marked. Then a trigger symbol lands and all those marked cells activate at once, revealing one of three things: a cash value, a multiplier, or a collector that sweeps up cash already showing on the grid. Money symbols themselves run bronze through diamond, with diamonds carrying values from 100x all the way to 500x.
Four bonus paths sit on top of the base game. Trickster's Treat drops position multipliers up to x100 on specific cells. Brewing Bonuses opens three free spin variants via a Lucky Charm Bar that picks your starting modifiers. Find the Color is the headline route, the one that chases the full 15,000x ceiling through Smokey's secret lure mechanic. And the Hidden Epic Bonus, triggered by the rare Epic Rainbow scatter, sits above everything else.
Is the 96.28% RTP generous? Honestly, for a Hacksaw title with this much bonus depth, it's average. The very-high volatility means dry stretches are part of the package. Buy Bonus exists for impatient sessions, no surprise there. If you've enjoyed Le Bandit or Le Bunny, this slots into the same wardrobe series cleanly. Same engine, fresh costume, more bonus routes than usual.
