Red Rascal Slot

My name is Detective Jack O’Potts, master of the macabre, and I am helping solve the case of the Red Rascal. What we know so far is that Hacksaw Gaming brought this game into several hundred online casinos late last night, and people aren’t sure if it’s safe to play. So, I’m going to get some answers, be it the hard way or the easy way. 

Cue my montage of being a badass cop.

May 21st. Time is just after 1 am. Here on the scene, an ordinary online casino, not too busy at this hour, so few witnesses to see what happened. The game carries all the trademarks of being a Hacksaw Gaming slot. I mean, it even has their logo in the top right corner.

The Red Rascal, though more of a peculiar brown, seems to be the proprietor of this fairground. The grid is consistent with 99% of the developer's other video slots, so I have a good idea of how this game will play out. With the stake set to $2 per spin, I begin to question the integrity of this slot machine as I play.

The first win lands on the third spin, producing a $2.80 return off a double payline win. On the fifth spin, three Red Rascal symbols land. This activates the Rascal Respin feature, which turns current and new Red Rascal symbols into multipliers. The result is a $20.40 win. Two spins later, another win, this time $2. After playing the first ten spins, it’s fair to say the hit rate is fairly consistent. Given this, I increase my bet to play $4 spins.

After the second spin at this higher price, I land a $1.60 win, followed by another $1.60. Three spins later and two $1.60 land to award $3.20. Whilst the game seems to hit a flurry of wins from time to time, there’s not too much else happening to bring the game to life. The concept seems to start and end with the design alone. 

After 20 spins, I’m starting to feel that whatever life I had left in me is draining out. I played a quickfire round of10 spins, and nothing came of this. So, I wrap up the investigation. It’s safe to play, but don’t get your hopes up too high. It’s a lot like other Hacksaw slots, so don’t expect anything new. 

Case closed.
