Hacksaw's Xpander is a video slot that features a 7×7 grid and employs a cluster pays mechanic, allowing players to achieve wins by landing five or more matching symbols adjacent to each other either horizontally or vertically. The game embraces a retro arcade aesthetic, showcasing classic fruit machine icons such as cherries, lemons, grapes, and watermelons, alongside bells, sevens, horseshoes, and diamond symbols, all beautifully set against a neon-lit futuristic city skyline. A notable aspect of the game is the Hopper multiplier symbol, which randomly appears in a single cell, starting at a size of 1×1 with a 2× multiplier, and moves to different locations between spins; if it overlaps with a winning cluster, it enhances the payout. Players can collect special upgrade symbols: “Grow” symbols, when gathered in groups of three, expand the Hopper multiplier up to 4×4 and grant respins, while “Double Up” symbols double the current multiplier value, with a maximum limit of 128×. Winning clusters trigger cascade reactions, which remove the winning symbols and allow new ones to fall from above, potentially leading to additional wins. Landing three or more scatter symbols activates free spins, starting with five spins, and players can earn extra spins through 1UP symbols during this feature. In the free spins round, the size and multiplier value of the Hopper remain constant across spins, unlike in the base game where they reset. Additionally, there is a Bonus Buy feature available for 129× your bet (where permitted), providing immediate access to the free spins feature. The maximum win potential in Xpander can reach up to 10,000× the stake.
