FRKN Bananas Hacksaw Gaming slot review with free demo

FRKN Bananas from Hacksaw Gaming, I really like this slot, been playing it for a long time. I stumbled into it by chance through a nice picture and thought it would be nothing but big wins, but no. The slot has 6 reels, 5 rows and 19 paylines, the main goal is to catch Spreading Banana – they act as multipliers and wilds, and then you just need them to hit. When a Spreading Banana lands in a combo the payout gets multiplied, and if they connect together their multipliers add. The max payout is 10000x. The bonus isn’t that hard to hit, but the slot likes to “bite” – you can get 20 or 30 buys, and then the bonus gives only 10x. To trigger the bonus round you need three scatter symbols. There’s a chance of a 3x drop from the bet, which increases the chance of the bonus. There’s also the Spread Em Feature spin for 50x, which guarantees bananas but the bonus doesn’t drop. If you buy the bonus itself, Bananza! costs 100x the bet, and Banana Blitz! costs 200x. In Bananza! the normal game mechanics remain, but bananas drop more often with good multipliers. In Banana Blitz! Sticky Banana and Go Bananas appear, and that’s where you can collect everything if the bananas start to stack and pay out.

The slot’s look didn’t really wow me, Haksawa has visually much better slots, but the mechanics here are really interesting. It’s also high volatility, eats your balance pretty fast, the potential is very good, but the max win is only x10000. The base game didn’t stand out much, sometimes it gave decent spin wins (up to x70-80), but since the description says the max win is achievable in any game mode, that felt a bit underwhelming and it’s unclear what exactly needs to land for a big hit. Catching the bonus was also hard, and considering how quickly the balance can drain here, I usually just buy the bonus now, specifically the top bonus, since that’s the most promising. The slot’s mechanic is built around wild-bananas with a random multiplier from x1 to x100 that expand up or down and can also combine with each other. In the regular bonus there’s just an increased chance of them appearing with higher multipliers, but in the top bonus they become sticky and keep a random multiplier, and when the go bananas symbol lands with a value from 3 to 10, it starts copying them and scattering them across the reels, which can result in the max win in a single spin. Interesting slot, I recommend not lingering too long in the base game and trying to take the top bonus straight away.

I love slots from havsk, this one is no exception.

Pleasant graphics, non-annoying music, you can spin for a long time and wait until one of the bonuses hits.
3 FS – Standard bonus, if a banana lands horizontally on the last reel it pays pretty well, on average gives x100, a good bonus, often pays for itself if you buy it.

4 FS – this is already blitz, bananas stick and give a multiplier, but the real juice is to fill the field with bananas and catch the basket. This bonus rarely paid off well, but I personally hit x4800 when I filled the whole field with bananas, just a bit short of the max win… the bonus was bought.
Catching 4 FS is pretty hard, if you’re buying, it’s better to take the simple one, it more often pays for itself.
Overall a good slot, finally one without a raccoon) I like slots with a raccoon, but here at least there’s some variety and a different mechanic.
I prefer to buy the bonus games, but occasionally I spin and wait for it to drop in a spin.
Overall the slot is good, you can farm the bonus, my rating 10/10 at least because it paid well, and the slot is really interesting!

Hello everyone.
I want to share my experience playing this slot.
I really like Hacksaw, but this slot did not really hit for me.

The design is done really well, everything is bright, everything is nicely polished. No complaints there.

The game mechanic is interesting too. Bananas appear, and they seem to expand horizontally or vertically and give a multiplier.

But as for the game itself, well, my expectations were high. The slot rarely triggers bonus rounds, even with the extra activation feature.
No chance. Here I always only bought them. There are regular bonuses, and there are top ones. I bought both, more than once. And more often than not, they do not even pay for themselves. Although the top one has a cool feature, where you have to catch a banana that scatters bananas across the whole field. And it would seem there should be big wins there, but no. So I think they are not worth buying. But since it does not trigger either, you end up having to buy. It is just a vicious circle) Why did I keep coming back to this slot then, well, I thought maybe something would come back) It was good to feed it.

My opinion is that you can jump in for a couple of gaming sessions, and then not come back there anymore ))

FRKN Bananas slot from the provider Hacksaw.
Another game from a top provider that can give a decent payout. I liked the slot right away, it’s beautifully drawn, has great music, interesting mechanics, and high chances for a win. I wish the max win was higher, because x10000 feels a bit low for such a potential slot.
There are two types of bonuses, the regular BANANZA! for 3 scatters and the top BANANA BLITZ! for 4 scatters. Both bonuses start with 10 spins, but in terms of mechanics, I think the top bonus is more interesting and more likely to pay out. I’ve never really won anything in the regular one, only in the top one. Although, maybe it doesn’t matter, MAXWIN can happen in either. Maybe I just wasn’t lucky. In general, the best I got in the regular one was x100-x150. In the top bonus, I had wins of x1000+. As I understood, there’s no hot mode in the game, which is quite unusual for Hacksaw. The provider likes to spoil players with “forbidden” bonuses. They are very rarely triggered and almost guarantee big wins.
The spins kept my balance pretty well; I could even hit a couple of full lines of bananas for x100+ just from a spin. I caught that with small multipliers on the bananas, theoretically, it could even hit those lines with x100. So, you can get several thousand x from a spin without a bonus. I always played without a side bet, bonuses were not too hard to catch. Yes, more often with 3 scatters, but still.
The slot machine is definitely in my pool of favorites.

Imagine a zombie apocalypse, but instead of brain-hungry undead – bananas. Literal bananas. And they’re not here to make smoothies. They’ve gone mad, taken over the streets and turned the whole place into a fruity horror show. If there’s one thing Hacksaw Gaming knows how to do, it’s turn total madness into a first-class slot. They’ve whipped up another visually insane and mechanically engaging release, proving once again that they don’t just make slots – they make absolute chaos fun. FRKN Bananas is here to join the lineup of wonderfully crazy masterpieces. Let’s see if it lives up to the madness. We’re working with a 6×5 grid and 19 paylines, which is a solid foundation for all the absolute insanity happening on the reels. Release date: 13.02.2025. Max win x10000. RTP 94.29%. Bonus buy available. I liked this slot, even slightly increased my balance playing at Vavada casino. My rating: I recommend this slot for playing.

FRKN Banan is the original slot from the well-known provider Hacksaw Gaming. The developers of this slot tried to surprise players with an interesting idea related to the possibility of winning on bananas – it’s not always that you land on banana peels; it turns out you can win a lot on a large number of bananas. The slot’s design is simple and not off-putting, it even catches the eye. But the most important thing is the slot’s math – very smart in my opinion – which allows a large number of bananas, which collect horizontally or vertically and complete the slot lines with symbols and multipliers. There can be more than one multiplier, accordingly both vertically and horizontally. The bonus game is triggered by catching “FS” symbols from 3, and if there are more a super bonus is triggered with the “GO BANANAS” feature, which, when activated, launches banana wilds with multipliers all over the reels. And it can cover all the reels with such bananas and the multipliers multiply and the payout amount grows. I like the slot, I hit x500 of my stake, I’ll drop into it sometimes, but not for long.

FRKN Bananas – a slot with a new mechanic from Hacksaw.

Again Hacksaw, again something unusual. Now we’re dealing with a bunch of wilds, all thanks to this slot’s mechanic.

In regular spins there’s a banana feature that spits out wilds (they can be x wilds) in the direction it’s facing, so you can easily end up with a line of wilds. In the normal bonus this feature works the same, just with a higher chance to trigger and bigger x multipliers.

The top bonus, however, is completely different in mechanics. Here the bananas turn into sticky wilds with x’s, they stay for the whole bonus game, and if a special GoBANANAS symbol lands, all the fixed bananas are copied and multiplied by the number on that special symbol (up to 10, most often 3). So if we have 3 sticky bananas and a three lands on GoBANANAS, 9 wilds will be scattered (but they don’t stick to the reels, they’re one‑time). In theory, you can cover the whole grid with bananas.

I didn’t hit any massive wins, unfortunately, but I saw x400.

I can recommend this slot, the mechanic is really very interesting and unusual.

The slot game FRKN Bananas appealed to me only for two reasons: its colorful design and its sound. Regarding other factors, I can say that the advertised RTP of 94% is too low; they say the game is medium volatility, but based on the gameplay and payouts it seems impossible to hit anything decent. I tried spinning the slot with the higher-chance-to-get-bonus feature, which activates with an extra x3 on the bet – bonuses almost never drop. I also bought the feature with guaranteed wilds x50 of the bet; it never even paid off once. Apparently you need to hit a bunch of wilds, which also have to land in the right way to trigger a multiplier.

Specifically about the bonus games in this slot, I wouldn’t recommend buying them – they’re too expensive for this slot, payouts are small. Even in the super bonus from 4 scatters I couldn’t even figure out how many of those special GO BANANAS symbols you need to hit for the bonus to at least break even. Overall my experience with this slot was negative – you can sometimes pop in and do about 50 spins for variety, but I wouldn’t recommend staying longer.

Relatively new slot FRKN bananas and I really liked it, at least I haven’t seen such features even at haskava!

First of all I want to praise the designers separately – the slot is made very nicely and the banana symbol is very funny.. it’s very pleasant to spin both on fast spin and on normal!

I love buying top bonuses – in the bonus bananas fall that are saved (wilds) and a special GO BANANAS feature where it scatters wilds in the form of bananas with multipliers all over the reels!

Yes, payouts in the slot aren’t great – however there are a lot of wilds and very often it makes a line of wilds or even several… the slot is far from boring

Alas, I don’t really like spinning it by hand – payouts are small and you often end up in the red if you don’t catch a bonus session.. but buying the top bonus is pretty great, because it pays off quite often and for some reason you always watch it with excitement!

I wouldn’t buy the regular bonus – that one really isn’t worth its money.

I’ve hit a lot in the slot, didn’t hit the max win – but there was x2000 which is a pretty great result for me.
