Stick ‘Em (Hacksaw Gaming) – Review & Demo Play

What symbols are there in Stick 'Em

Stick 'Em comes with a set of straightforward pay symbols and a couple of specials. The Money bag sits at the top, paying 3x for 5 on a payline. Gold coins, Diamond, and Cash each pay 1.5x for 5. Bottle pays 0.8x, Bones 0.7x, Cards 0.6x, and Dice 0.5x. Thumbs Up pays 2x for 5, while Star brings 0.3x. You need 3 to 5 matching symbols to score, and the values keep the base game ticking along on steady runs.

I treat Thumbs Up as both a payer and a trigger. Land at least three and they stick while the rest of the reels re-spin. The sequence carries on as long as a fresh Thumbs Up arrives on each roll. That sticky set-up is the heartbeat here, turning small pays into something that can climb. When I’m mapping sessions, I watch for clusters and lanes that repeat, because streaks off those sticky icons often decide whether the round swings or stalls.

What are the bonus features in Stick 'Em

The sticky symbol re-spins in Stick 'Em kick in when 3 or more Thumbs Up land. Those icons lock to their spots, and the other positions re-spin. Keep finding another Thumbs Up on every re-spin and the streak keeps going. Fill the reels with only Thumbs Up and you hit the game’s max of 2,048x your stake. It’s simple, punchy, and the kind of streak feature that can suddenly light up a session when the grid starts to load.

Three Bonus Game symbols launch the Wheel of Fortune. One spin can whip up to 1,000x your stake, which is the spiky part of the profile. The regular hits are not massive, so I look to this wheel or the sticky streaks for the bigger pops. In my runs it shows up at a fair clip, not every stint, but often enough to keep me pushing for another set-up when the base keeps things quiet.

Across long play, the way features chain is what sells it. Sticky re-spins feed momentum, the wheel brings a shot at a headline payout, and the rest fills in the gaps. I pace bets to ride those swings rather than chase every lull. The rhythm feels balanced for medium volatility, with calm patches broken by tidy bursts whenever the Thumbs Up land in waves or the bonus icons line up and hand me a go on the wheel.

Free spins in Stick 'Em

The free spins in Stick 'Em drop when 3 or more scatter symbols land on the same spin. Hit 3, 4, or 5 scatters for 5, 10, or 15 free spins. There are no extras layered on, and you cannot trigger the bonus wheel during these. They run through on their own until the round ends. I use them as a breather that can still dish out a tidy line-up, though the real spikes generally sit with the sticky re-spins.

What is the jackpot (max win) in Stick 'Em

There is no jackpot in Stick 'Em, but the top payout is clear. Fill the screen with sticky Thumbs Up during the re-spins and you land 2,048x your stake. With the max bet set at £100, that means up to £204,800 on a single sequence. The slot runs on 5 reels, 4 rows, and 1,024 ways to win, paired with a 96.1% RTP and medium volatility, so that ceiling arrives off feature-driven bursts rather than steady climbing base hits.

Where can I play Stick 'Em

You can play Stick 'Em for real money at licensed casinos or try a demo first if you want a dry run. I’ve had clean sessions across desktop and mobile, with the interface set for quick taps and short waits between re-spins. It launched on 19 September 2019 and still runs smoothly across current browsers, so loading and inputs feel snappy when I’m spinning in bursts or letting the round play out.

Stick 'Em is fully tuned for phones and tablets. I’ve played it on Android, iPhone, and iPad without hiccups, and stakes range from 20p up to £100 per spin, which suits testing and proper sessions alike. That spread, plus the 1,024 ways set-up, makes it easy to find a pace that fits a bankroll, whether I’m sampling the mechanics in demo or stepping into real-money runs once the feel of the features clicks.
