The Crime File

In The Crime File by Hacksaw, players are immersed in a detective narrative set within a dark, noir-inspired city inhabited by anthropomorphic dogs. This video slot features a layout of 5 reels and 4 rows, with a total of 14 fixed paylines. Key mechanics include expanding Wild symbols known as “The Hunt,” which can grow upward to cover the entire reel when part of a winning combination, revealing a multiplier in the process. These Wild multipliers are accumulated in a Total Multiplier bar, allowing all multipliers from a single spin to be summed and applied to the winnings of that spin. Another notable feature is “The Capture,” where high-value symbols can appear in stacks; if four matching premium symbols land consecutively on a reel during a win, they combine into a full 1×4 stack that contributes its own multiplier to the Total Multiplier bar, regardless of whether it forms part of a payline win.

Landing 3, 4, or 5 scatter symbols in the base game activates the Interrogation Bonus, which grants 10, 15, or 20 free spins, respectively. Throughout the free spins, all Wilds expand to their full height, maximizing the potential range of Wild multipliers. The Capture multipliers remain active as they do in the base game. However, scatter symbols do not appear during the free spins, preventing the bonus from being retriggered. Players can also take advantage of various Feature-Buy options (where allowed) to gain direct access to bonus rounds: one increases the likelihood of triggering the bonus, another ensures at least one Wild appears per spin, and one allows for outright purchase of the Interrogation Bonus. The maximum win achievable in The Crime File can reach up to 10,000 times the stake. The gritty detective theme is enhanced by visuals and symbols that reflect the crime narrative, complemented by a moody soundtrack.
