Donut Division Hacksaw Gaming slot review with free demo

The Donut Division slot from Hacksaw Gaming is a cartoonish game about chubby seventies detectives with donuts, pizza and water pistols. The visuals are bright and colorful, the animations are funny, and the audio fits the vibe. Not a design masterpiece but it looks lively and doesn’t get boring.

The grid is the standard Hacksaw setup, max win 12500x. The main symbol is a pistol wild that, when it lands on the fifth reel, expands left to the first reel, creating a line of wilds with a multiplier up to x100. The more of those lines and the bigger the x’s, the better the payout.

The slot’s main gimmick is that you can choose the bonus mechanic before it starts. The first option is collecting x’s with a flashlight from boxes that have three lives which are restored on a successful hit, something like Money Train. The second option is free spins with sticky pistol wilds. In the top variant of the first bonus the minimum x in the boxes is x5, in the top variant of the second the wilds stay until the end of the bonus. You can buy the regular bonus for 100x, the top for 200x. There’s also a sticky-weapon feature for 50x and a boost to the chance for 3x the bet.

Without the extra chance the slot can bait you with scatters for a long time. But when the pistols line up with good x’s the result is really impressive. Worth a try.

In this cartoonish story the provider invites all rookies from the police academy to join the coolest detectives – Harry, Tom, Bert and Roger, aka the Chief. They look a bit scruffy: long hair, huge mustaches and bellies full of donuts, pizza and other fast-food treats. But Haksou presents them as a force whose case-solving efficiency beats the amount of “sprinkles on a donut”. Donut Division is done in that provider’s typical style: two characters next to the drums. Bert and Roger guard the playfield in the base game and search the warehouses, while Harry and Tom are on duty during the bonus “Surveillance” rounds. Yes, this slot offers two bonus rounds, each available in two modes. You can choose the type of bonus yourself – either “Warehouse” (collecting multipliers) or “Surveillance” (free spins). I had better luck in the free spins bonus, since in the “Warehouse” bonus lives ran out quickly and it didn’t give any decent multipliers. The slot is pretty fun and worth a play.

Donut Division

A cartoonish slot about American cops from the 70s, implemented pretty well but it doesn’t grab you and isn’t very memorable. The mechanics aren’t overcomplicated and are interesting, plus medium volatility, so the slot holds your balance pretty well. In the base game and in one of the bonus rounds everything is built around water guns that drop slime-wilds, which can also have a multiplier from x1 to x100, which can give a big hit on a spin, up to a max win of x12500. I’ve hit almost x200 myself, but mostly it drops in smaller amounts (x20-40). Usually you can spin for quite a while without tanking your balance, bonus rounds hit about once every 250+ spins (on average) if you grind for a long time. Besides the regular and top bonuses, they also come in two types to choose from – in one it’s a continuation of the base game mechanics with an increased chance of guns-wilds with multipliers, and in the top version the gun also becomes sticky and stays for the rest of the free spins. In the other bonus there’s a totally different mechanic: you have 3 renewable lives and on a dark warehouse you look for multipliers (up to x100) and multipliers stack (up to x10), in the top version the minimum multiplier starts at x5. I prefer the bonus that continues the base game mechanics, so I almost always take that one and it’s where I’ve had my biggest hits, but I think you can hit a big win in any variant, so it’s a matter of taste. The slot is simple and pleasant, not stressful and easy to play.

Donut Division – another slot from Hacksaw. I wouldn’t say I love this slot, but I might pop in a couple times a month.

The slot is pretty bright and colorful. It’s done in some kind of cop theme: radios, sirens, coffee. And the wild here is a gun.

No big wins, I’ll say that up front. But you can slowly climb up. Bonuses don’t hit often, that’s what the activation button is for to increase your chance of the bonus. They’re also available to buy. There’s a normal one and a premium one, and in each you can choose which you want to take – something like a collect and the other with free spins and wilds. In the premium wilds stay until the end of the round. In the normal one they appear and disappear. I prefer the bonus spins, I don’t like the collect multipliers. If you buy them, every second one pays off. Almost forgot, there’s also a feature to activate wilds on each spin. So each spin will drop at least two guns that expand, and they also have multipliers.

All in all, the slot is fun and interesting, but I wouldn’t play it every day. Still, I recommend it. Rating 7 out of 10.

Donut Division – a slot with unique bonus mechanics.

Haksav decided to put some thought into this slot and instead of the standard scheme of a regular bonus and a top one, made the bonuses selectable before the start. So we choose which bonus mechanic we want to see.

The first mechanic is collecting x’s with a flashlight, something in common with Hold and Win, you also get three lives, but there are no jackpots here, though there is a maximum x100 and a x10 multiplier. There’s also a function to collect all the x’s from the field.

The second mechanic gives us a Wild symbol that lives (travels) left as a Wild to the first reel, so we can have a line of wilds and not just one. The maximum wild x is x100.

Each mechanic has a top version. For the first, minimum x’s are x5; for the second, wilds stay on the line until the end of the bonus.

Logically, it’s better to take the second top version, since the first even in its top version often simply doesn’t extend lives.

The biggest hit was in the second top one – I put two lines of wilds a couple of times, total x3000.

Overall, the slot is very interesting and the animations are fun, worth a play.

The slot game Donut Division is pretty weak on payouts, but the provider’s stated RTP of 94% confirms that. On one hand it’s bright and has a fun voiceover, but at the same time it’s a very greedy slot machine. It’s worth noting that with the feature to increase the chance of a bonus, bonus games very often drop – both the simple 3-symbol scatter and the super bonus of 4. The guaranteed wild-symbols-on-reels feature for x50 of the bet gives a lot of wilds, but payouts from them usually don’t even cover the buy, apparently in this case you need to hit a good multiplier on the symbol and have them land on the last reel.

It’s also worth noting that in this slot the bonus games are of 2 types – in both the regular and the super bonus you can choose either simple free spins with wild symbols dropping, or a multiplier-collecting bonus. I didn’t notice much difference between the regular and the super bonus, except that there are increased multipliers in the first game and increased multipliers on wild symbols in the second. In principle any bonus game can give the substantial max win the provider claims of x12500. At first glance the game seemed not very interesting to me, but after playing the slot longer I changed my mind because of the frequent bonuses (but unfortunately with small payouts).

Great slot Donut Division!

The bonuses in it are really nice – I was very surprised because by the design I thought it would be some convoluted, unclear thing that gives nothing.

There are 2 types of bonuses in total – left and right – and both are very different from each other!

My favorite is the left bonus – where there are no regular symbols but empty boxes and boxes with multipliers and a lantern fall, and you need to land on boxes with multipliers, and then the three spins it gives refresh every time! I remember watching that bonus for like 10 minutes and it just wouldn’t end, and the result was x1120 – and the bonus was a normal one worth x100 of the bet, not a top one!

The second bonus quite often makes a haskaf and it’s cool in execution – you need to catch a special wild on each reel and with each spin it will push it from left to right! Hard to explain – but in the second bonus you can catch lines of wilds quite often, though you should understand that the payouts are rather meager.

For me the first bonus is still much better than the second – overall the slot is actually a blast! I didn’t get bored spinning it, whether by hand or buying bonuses.

Donut Division is a slot from the provider Hacksaw.

At the time of writing the review, the slot came out a few months ago in December 2024. Pretty fun and colorful slot. Haven’t hit any huge pays yet, but I still like the game. Paid out a couple thousand x, which is a decent win. Sure, I want the max, who doesn’t!?

Video slot with high volatility. Minimum bet 10/0.1/0.1 rubles/cents/eurocents, I’ve seen the max at 10,000 rubles. RTP 96% in decent casinos, around 94% in not-so-good ones, maybe even lower somewhere. The max win in the game is a whopping x12500 of the bet.

There are two types of bonus. The first (regular) bonus can be triggered by landing three scatters or bought for x100 of the bet. The second (top), can also be triggered but requires four scatters or bought for x200 of the bet. There’s also a “Sticky Weapon” feature for x50 of the bet. And an additional bet for x3 of the bet that increases the chance of hitting the bonus by 5 times.

When 3 or 4 scatters land, you can choose the type of bonus. Left is Warehouse for 3 scatters (Super for 4) with 3 lives, which are restored when you successfully open a box with an x from 1 to 100 or various features. On the left and right, the slot’s characters shine a flashlight; if they light up a box, it will be added to the bonus total win. Boxes can also contain global multipliers that multiply the overall x. Super Warehouse differs only in that boxes have a minimum x of 5. The mechanic is reminiscent of Money Train.

The right bonus is Stakeout for 3 scatters (Super for 4). The mechanic is similar to the Rip City slot, except the wilds expand not top-to-bottom but right-to-left. Also, in the regular bonus these sticky wilds stay only for 1 spin, while in the top one for 4 scatters they remain until the end of the bonus. If a wild lands on the 5th reel, it will expand leftwards to the first reel. “Sticky Weapon” can drop with an x from 1 to 100. So if a gun drops with x100 on the 5th reel, when it expands it will stack the multiplier up to x500 and all winning combinations will play with that multiplier. Only in this bonus can a retrigger drop: 2 scatters give 2 free spins and 3 scatters give 4 free spins.

Cool relatively new slot from provider Hacksaw Gaming! Caught the first great hit at Casino Arkada, from the first 500₽ with the extra chance enabled – on the 3rd spin it gave a standard bonus with 3 scatters, but a juicy one, I remember it gave about x500, then 4 spins later it gave the top one and I freaked out)) The bonuses in this slot are similar to the ones in Xmas Drop, Rip City from the same provider – in the top bonus where wilds dropped they’re guaranteed to keep dropping on subsequent spins until the end of the bonus, but it’s not guaranteed that they will drop )) I hit bigger wins more often in the top bonus because there are more chances, but it’s all about the wilds and their multipliers and you need the wilds to land on the first reels for a combo, not one on the first reel and another on reels 3,4,5. It lined up a good combo on three reels with multipliers and combos and gave a decent hit. There’s no point spinning the slot without the extra chance – most of the time it will eat your money and won’t even give a bonus, but maybe I’m just unlucky) The sticky wilds feature costs x50 of the bet, max win in the slot is x12,500. This is one of those slots with a similar game mechanic that just don’t play at all, while other slots from this provider drop bonuses in a row – I noticed that, even checked it: when one slot with this mechanic doesn’t hit, there’s no point trying other slots with a similar mechanic at all. If Xmas Drop doesn’t hit, then Rip City, Donut Division, Beast Below, etc. don’t hit either. They can bait for scatters for hours, and even if you manage to catch a bonus it just pays x10 and that really pisses you off))
