The Slayers Inc by Hacksaw Gaming is the sum of many parts taken from previously successful Hacksaw Gaming slot games, to produce this hybrid of sorts. Cash Crew, Fist of Destruction, and even Chaos Crew 2 are all embedded into Slayers Inc. So, this move is not a first from Hacksaw Gaming, as it can be said of these games, taking features and mechanisms from others. 

What Slayers Inc presents is a tried and tested method of gaming that continues to be successful. With expectations then already at the pinnacle, just how good is the result? Well, it’s down to me to test the game and provide the results. I share with you the experience of playing Slayers Inc for real money, and discuss how the game plays and performs. I highlight the features and bonuses. I will share my verdict of the game along with some alternative slots that might be of interest to you, should you like or dislike this game.

How will you know if you like it? Well, that’s simple. You can play the free demo which has been embedded into this review. Play the game on any mobile, and as many times as you like. 

The background design of Slayers Inc comes in a familiar black and grey color tone with the odd dash of vibrant yellow. The two characters come with Eastern Asian garb and holding samurai swords.

eThe slot has a 4-row and 5-reel layout. This holds 14 paylines to potentially win from. When it comes to the gameplay, it’s all very familiar if you have played any of the aforementioned games in the intro. 

The Slayers Inc slot looks like it should be a complex game, but the reality is that there is very little to it, which is perhaps why the repeated format of the software’s programming has been so successful amongst online players.

Load the online slot machine game via your operator’s platform and first set your bet value. Use the plus and minus buttons next to the spin button to adjust the amount you wish to pay per spin. The minimum bet is $0.10, with price options going up to a maximum bet value of $100 per spin. With your bet set, press the spin button to begin playing. 

To win, 3, 4, or 5 matching symbols need to land on any of the 14 paylines. These must drop in order from left to right. During the game, special symbols will make an appearance that can lead to unlocking bonus features. But until then, you will only need to press the spin button to play this game and hope for the best. 

The special features and bonuses that appear in Slayers Inc.

Slayer Duelreels: The VS symbol instigates the feature. This expands to cover the full reel and display different multipliers for each Slayer. A duel between the two slayers will take place, and the winner’s multiplier will be added across the full reel, which will then turn into a wild symbol. The values of the multiplier can reach the sum of 500x.

Rise of the Syndicate Free Spins: 3 FS symbols will unlock the free spins bonus game and award you with 10 free bonus spins. During this round of gaming, there is an increased chance of landing VS symbols. Additional spins can be won should 2 or more FS land.

Wild Slayers: Activated with 4 FS symbols landing in the base game. This rewards 10 free bonus spins and activates a Slicer when a VS symbol lands, which adds expanded Wilds on random reels. Additional spins can also be won during this bonus round.

One Slayer to Rule Them All: This bonus round is triggered with 5 FS symbols. The 10 free spins also come with the Slicer and the Slayer Duelreels feature. All of which are activated with every spin.

Best of Bonus: When you land the Best of Bonus symbol, along with 3 or more FS symbols, you will activate 3 rounds of the bonus. The best win of the 3 bonus rounds played is then awarded to the player. 

Buy Bonus: Players can skip the base game and pay their way into the bonus rounds. Those with less of a budget can pay for prompt features. Here are the 7 different bonuses and feature prompts you can buy.

At 3x your bet, you can prompt the BonusHunt Featurespins, which increase the chances of landing a bonus by 5x. 

At 60x your bet, you can buy the Duo Duel Featurespins. This guarantees 2 VS symbols.

For 110x your bet, you can buy the Trouble Trio Featurespins. Every spin played will guarantee 3 VS symbols.

Buy the Rise of the Syndicate free spins bonus for 100x your bet.

Buy Wild Slayers for 200x your bet.

Best of Rise of the Syndicate will cost you 200x your bet.

Best of Wild Slayers comes to 400x your bet.

The problem with Slayers Inc, is that I have already played this game through other Hacksaw Gaming slots. It’s just a different skin over a very familiar game. Nevertheless, it’s a style that I like. In the past, the games that carry the same features and dynamics have been very favorable. 

I set my bet to $2 per spin and played 50 spins. As expected, wins are frequent, but they are more often than not, lower than what you pay per spin. The Slayer Duelreels feature drops frequently enough to disrupt the calmness. Halfway into my 50 spins and my biggest win so far is $8.00. This changed with 11 spins left when I landed a $24 win, thanks to the Duelreels feature. Alas, my 50 spins ended with nothing for me to cash out.       

The maximum you can win is 15,000 times the value you bet. If you are spinning reels at $100 per go, the max return will be $1,500,000! The volatility setting is high, which accounts for the ‘not much happening’ scenario. And the RTP calculation comes in at an average of 96.28%.

There are going to be players that love this game and hate it. The love will come from the design aspect and how it all plays out. The hate will come from the programming and volatility. Fans of Cash Crew, Chaos Crew 2, and Fist of Destruction will lap this game up. 

I do like this game, it’s not anything new, but the design has appeal and there is maturity in the way it plays. I would recommend to players who like the martial arts genre to check out these slot machines.
