Undead Fortune (Hacksaw Gaming) – Review & Demo Play

Undead Fortune - Slot Overview

I approached Undead Fortune as a dark Egyptian run with Hacksaw’s DuelReels dialled up. The grid is 5 reels by 4 rows with 10 fixed paylines, bets from 10p to £100. It ships with a 96.29% RTP at the top setting and a 4 out of 5 volatility rating, with a hit frequency of 26.77%. The setup blends Walking duels and Expanding DuelReels with two bonus rounds called The Curse and The Tomb. It looks nasty, yet gameplay stays lively and snappy.

As a regular, the first spins told me this is classic Hacksaw. Base game can trigger VS activity, wilds sub in often, and the mood swings fast. You can chase multipliers from x2 to x200 through the duels, where beating a monster applies the value across a reel. The audio and animation punch through, but what matters is flow. Hits arrive about one in four spins, with long patches broken by bursts when features chain together.

Symbols and Paytable in Undead Fortune

Undead Fortune uses 10, J, Q, K and A for the lower pays. Five matching royals pay 1 to 1.5 times the bet. Premiums are five undead characters and pay 4 to 10 times for five of a kind. The wild appears on all reels and can form its own line, paying 10 times for five. Two scatters read Curse and Tomb, landing only on reels 1, 3 and 5. You also see VS symbols, an Epic VS, and symbols that open locked reels.

Walking and Expanding Duels in Undead Fortune

Walking duels start when a Walk VS lands. The symbol is wild and expands to cover the reel, showing a monster and a multiplier. If you win the clash, the multiplier applies to the entire reel and a respin follows. The expanded symbol then steps one reel to the left unless blocked. New Walk VS can drop on respins. When more than one duel is in a win, multiplier values add together. Values range from x2 up to x200.

Expanding DuelReels arrive via an Expand VS on reels 2, 3, 4 or 5, with only one active at once. It is wild and fills the reel, shows a monster and a multiplier, and if you win, the multiplier is saved. The symbol then grows one reel left and another duel plays. Win again and the new figure adds to the saved value. If you lose, or can’t grow further, wins linked to it take the final multiplier. Values reach x200.

I rate this pair highly because they add extra depth to regular spins. Walking duels feel pacey and can string wins together as they walk. The expanding option stacks value in a slow burn before paying out, which keeps the tension up. You cannot get both versions at the same time, so each run has its own rhythm. When multipliers collect and then land across a paying line, results can jump hard without needing a separate bonus.

Bonus Games in Undead Fortune

The Curse triggers by landing three Curse scatters on reels 1, 3 and 5 in a single round. You get 10 free spins with a higher chance of Walk VS and Expand VS showing up. Symbols are tallied across the whole sequence, and respins from Walking duels count for collection. In practice, this mode often nudges duels into view and lets multipliers gather. It still swings, but the hit rate in here feels more forgiving than the base.

The Tomb starts from three Tomb scatters on reels 1, 3 and 5. Reel tops hold values and some reels begin locked. Land a Tomb VS on an active reel to duel for x2 to x200 and, if you win, add that to the value above; lose, and that reel locks. Four opener symbols on a locked reel re-open it, while a golden variant opens every locked reel. An Epic VS can turn the whole grid into a duel and then multiply or add to all active reel values.

Buy Bonus in Undead Fortune

When feature buys are offered, Undead Fortune gives five choices. Bonus Featurespins cost 3x the bet and make a bonus game five times more likely, rated very highly volatile. Walking Duel Featurespins cost 10x and guarantee at least one Walk VS. Expanding Duel Featurespins cost 50x and guarantee one Expand VS, labelled extremely volatile. You can also buy The Curse for 100x or The Tomb for 200x, both very high volatility. I use these when I want direct access to the action.

RTP, Volatility and Max Win in Undead Fortune

Top RTP is 96.29%, though multiple settings exist across sites. Volatility sits at 4 out of 5, and the published hit rate is 26.77%. Bets range from 10p to £100 and wins pay along 10 fixed lines for three to five of a kind. The max win is 10,000x the bet. Wilds substitute and pay 10x for five in a line. On mobile, desktop or tablet, the experience holds up, with the same feature frequency and pacing.

I have seen The Tomb range from tiny settles of around 4x up to four-figure payouts in testing, with a standout 4,651x example quoted. It is outrageously unpredictable, which matches the theme. The Curse feels steadier, mainly due to a greater chance of Walk VS and Expand VS. Base game can still pop through stacked multipliers when a reel is covered and values add. If you crave ride-or-die moments, this one delivers them without bloating the rules.

Undead Fortune - Final Verdict

I rate Undead Fortune as classic Hacksaw with a vicious grin. The theme leans into horror, yet the engine stays punchy thanks to duels that walk or expand and stack multipliers up to x200. The two bonuses push different thrills, with The Tomb built for high drama and The Curse giving more frequent shots. I play it when I want a rocky, volatile ride where a single reel can swing a session, and the 10,000x cap feels within reach.
