Summary:
- Hacksaw Gaming releases Octo Attack slot
- Betting range from €0.10 – €100.00
- Max win of 10,000x
The 2018-founded gaming developer determined “to rethink classic products that are currently in the market” via technology and design “built with users in mind to focus on the ‘mobile-first’ approach”, Hacksaw Gaming, has released online slot “Octo Attack“.
The game with 6 reels and 5 rows has eight-armed Otto the Octopus at the center. The blue cephalopod was placed in a monochrome world of “trash, dumpsters, waste” with occasional splashes of color.
The game itself is rather peculiar, but in a good sense, as the studio has done a good job reuniting apparently random bits in one place, sprinkling them with punk rock for surprising results.
Game Symbols and Winning Clusters
To form winning clusters, players must land at least five matching symbols connected to each other (0.1 to 1x the bet) on the vertical and/or horizontal in the game with medium volatility and an RTP of 96.27%.
More than 26 clusters pay 100x to 500x the bet.
The low-paying symbols are represented by black and gray hooks, bolts, speech bubbles, boxes, and hearts.
High-paying symbols are colored fish, beverages, mushrooms, ice creams, and sharks.
Wild symbols replace all regular symbols and can land with added multipliers between x1 to x10.
Special Features
After a win, the winning symbols are removed to make room for new ones. Winning positions are highlighted with Ink Stains which also get removed from the reels after they have been used by the Tenta-Grab mechanic.
Ink Stains also get removed between base game spins.
To engage the Tenta-Grab mechanic, players must come across the Eye of Otto symbol as long as there are Ink Stains on the grid.
When the mechanic is active, it works by grabbing a random symbol on the grid and replacing all Ink Stained positions and itself with the respective symbol.
Players who land a minimum of three regular FS symbols during the base game trigger the Eight Arm Is the Charm feature with free spins.
To activate the Give Me Eight! mechanic, players must land a minimum of three epic FS symbols in the base game.
The game counts four Bonus Buy options ranging from BonusHunt FeatureSpins where every spin is 5x more likely to engage a bonus for 3x the bet, Tentacular FeatureSpins where each spin brings a guaranteed win and one Eye of Otto symbol for 50x the bet, Eighth Arm Is The Charm for 100x the bet, and Give Me Eight for 300x the bet.
With a maximum win potential of 10,000x attainable in all game modes, super free spins, wild multipliers, and an intriguing theme, Hacksaw Gaming’s Octo Attack slot is a fine release for the fall.
