Stack’em

Some online slots surprise you: at first glance, they can seem completely different to the game as it plays out. A terrific example of this is Stack’em. The immediate impression of this game is one of a retro-styled cartoon, but on closer inspection, it’s a whole lot darker. Conceptualised by Hacksaw Gaming, this game has elements that hint at their other graphic novel-themed slots, with perky lettered tile symbols accompanied by skulls and dead birds. Stack’em is the sequel to Hacksaw Gaming’s original Canny the Can title, 2019’s Stick’em, a game with twists and turns and a chance to access amazing rewards, if Canny luck is on your side. Take a closer look at this fascinating game with Wildz Casino.

Design

Canny the Can is back, accompanied by Mona the Mouse. Canny is an early Disney-style character, complete with white gloves. At first glance, this online slot seems quite tranquil with its colourful lettered tiles and countryside backdrop. All it takes is a couple of spins to see that there’s a lot more going on, as symbols like a lethal-looking snake, a screaming skull and a bloody, dead bird drop into play. This is an echo of the action itself, which can be calm at times before exploding into chaos with great potential wins to be had.

Hacksaw Gaming is a relative newcomer to the gaming scene, founded in 2018 with an initial offering of scratch cards. They’ve since added a slew of interesting online slots to their portfolio, often with themes that bring the shadow and light mood of graphic novels into play. The Bowery Boys, a ripping Victorian gangland slots yarn is a great example of this, as is Chaos Crew. They’ve also got milder themes, like King Carrot, Tasty Treats and Joker Bombs. Their quirky library has grown to over 40 titles, Hacksaw Gaming seems like a games provider to watch!

Gameplay

The 5x6 grid of Stack’em is a departure from its predecessor, Stick’em, offering some zany symbols that stand out as completely different to any others you may have encountered in online slots. There’s a cluster mechanic, so connecting 5 or more adjacent symbols horizontally or vertically produces wins. Letter block symbols A, G, E, R and T provide between 0.1x for clusters of 5 or 6 and up to 25x for 25+. Giant leaves, skulls, snakes or birds as clusters offer wins of 0.25x - 100x your stake, while the thumbs up symbol gets into much higher territory at 200x your bet for clusters of 25 or more. A Wild symbol in the form of a W boosts winning opportunities, substituting for any other symbols (bar the Free Spins symbol).

Bonuses and features

The cascade feature is an exciting one, with a chance to stack wins. When a cluster is created, all other symbols are removed from the reels and winning symbols drop to the bottom of the grid. Fresh symbols drop down, potentially expanding the cluster win. Multipliers then appear under the reels with winning symbols according to the number of winning symbols above. The 5x6 grid means that there could be a potential multiplier of 30x. 3 FS symbols trigger Free Spins, in which players get 5 lives and 1x multiplier. As clusters form, multipliers may increase, too. During free spins, the ‘stack your wins’ feature is not in play. Within certain jurisdictions, feature rounds may be obtained through a ‘bonus buy’, if you’re a player with a decent bankroll who wants to jump ahead and try their luck.

Stack’em wherever you like!

Hacksaw Gaming, an online gaming company with its sights on the future, has ensured that their games are all optimised for mobile, giving players the freedom to play wherever they like, according to their preferences.

Volatility

Stack’em comes with a high volatility, so experienced players will appreciate the gameplay. Casual players can also enjoy the game. Of course, all players should keep an eye on their bankroll and play according to a predetermined personal budget. There’s a Return-To-Player value of 96.20% in Stack’em which is not too bad, considering all the activity going on.

Worth a try?

Stack’em is a great game to play if you’re looking to explore how the cascade mechanic works. Generally speaking, the game can seem quite sedate, but when symbols start cascading, things really heat up. This can translate to some decent wins, if you’re lucky. You can also try Stack’em and many other games for free at Wildz Casino, to get used to how the mechanics work or even just for fun! While you can only win Real Money if you have logged in and you’re wagering Real Money, the features are all active in Demo Mode, so you can get used to the ebb and flow of the games.
