Hacksaw Gaming: 250+ games and the most complete licence register in the catalogue
Hacksaw makes high-volatility slots, scratchcards and crash games for 35+ regulated markets and 3,000+ operator brands. It also publishes every licence number it holds — which almost nobody in this industry does.
The studio
Who Hacksaw Gaming are
Hacksaw is based in Zebbug, Malta, at Central Business Centre on Mdina Road. The licensed entity is HGMT Ltd, Malta company registration C84111; a second entity, HGIM Ltd, is registered in the Isle of Man.
It publishes no founding year and no founder names. Its MGA licence was issued on 6 December 2018, which is consistent with a 2018 start, but the company does not state one — so neither do we. The founder names circulating on profile sites are not company-published.
The output is broader than most people assume: slots, scratchcards, instant win games and crash games, with a published catalogue of 250+ games. No live casino, no bingo, no cabinets, no platform.
The scratchcard and instant-win line is the genuine differentiator. Most studios competing with Hacksaw on high-volatility slots do not offer a fixed-outcome instant vertical at all, and it fills a part of the lobby that slots cannot.

The games
Hacksaw Gaming titles
Hacksaw dates its news but not its game pages, so only the press-dated 2026 release carries a date. The back catalogue is described by format.
| Title | Released | What it is |
|---|---|---|
| Moneyplane | 7 Sep 2026 | Crash game — a rising multiplier the player must cash out of before it stops |
| Fist of Destruction Megamultiplier | — | Slot in the Megamultiplier format, where one escalating multiplier applies to the whole feature |
| Le Bandit Hold & Win | — | Hold & Win variant of Le Bandit, using locked cash symbols and resetting respins |
| Great Game Serengeti | — | Safari-theme slot |
| Arizona James and The Lost Relics | — | Adventure slot in the Arizona James series |
| Wanted Dead or a Wild | — | Western slot with three distinct free-spin modes selected at trigger. The title that made the studio’s name |
| Le Bandit | — | Western slot with a bonus round built on collected cash symbols |
| Chaos Crew | — | Slot with a nudging and expanding symbol feature across the reel set |
| Hand of Anubis | — | Egyptian slot with a collection-based bonus |
| Cash Compass | — | Slot built on collecting cash values into a central meter |
| RIP City | — | Urban-theme slot in the studio’s high-volatility line |
No RTP figures are quoted. Note also that the company publishes 250+ as its catalogue size — directory pages quoting 300+ exceed the studio’s own number.
What makes it different
Megamultiplier, scratchcards and the series-in-several-formats model
Hacksaw builds recurring franchises and then reissues them in different mechanical formats, which is why the same theme keeps reappearing.
Megamultiplier
A single global multiplier that escalates during a feature and applies to the feature’s total win rather than to individual lines. It is named directly in the product line — Fist of Destruction Megamultiplier — and it is the source of the very high ceilings the studio is known for.
Hold & Win
Cash-value symbols lock in position and a respin counter resets each time a new value lands; the round ends when respins run out and the locked values pay together. Hacksaw applies it as an alternative format for existing themes, as in Le Bandit Hold & Win.
Crash format
A rising multiplier curve the player must cash out of before it stops, with the stake lost if the curve stops first. The round is time-based rather than reel-based. Moneyplane, released September 2026, is the current entry.
Scratchcards and instant win
Fixed-outcome instant games where the result is determined at purchase and revealed by a scratch interaction, with no spin cycle at all. A distinct vertical, and genuinely rare among studios competing in high-volatility slots.
Franchise in multiple formats
Le Bandit exists as a slot and as a Hold & Win title; Arizona James runs as a series. One theme spans several mechanics, which lets an operator merchandise a recognised name across different parts of the lobby.
Feature buy
A bonus-purchase control at several price points, widely associated with the studio. Note it is disabled in jurisdictions that prohibit bonus buys, so the build differs by licence.
