Holy Heist (Hacksaw Gaming) – Review & Demo Play

Holy Heist: Slot Overview

Holy Heist from Bullshark Games spins a cheeky bank job with robbers dressed as nuns. The action sits on a 5x4 grid with 14 paylines and a multiplier bar across the top. Wins pay left to right on 3 to 5 of a kind. The initial reel multipliers read x2, x2, x3, x3, and x5. The art is bright and clean, the audio fits the caper vibe, and the base game flows well thanks to frequent wild interactions and multiplier nudges.

On the numbers front, it’s medium volatility at 3/5 with a default RTP of 96.24% and an alternative 94.32% model. The hit rate is listed at 24.75%. Stakes range from 10p up to £100 a spin. Max exposure caps at 20,000x, which is the studio’s biggest to date. Regular play builds around the reel multipliers and wild behaviour, while the bonus round lets those multipliers climb, making the setup feel punchy without leaning into punishing variance.

Pay Symbols in Holy Heist

Card ranks 10 to A handle the lows, paying 2x the bet for a 5-symbol line. The premiums are a grappling hook, banknotes, a money bag, gold bars, and a diamond, worth 5x to 10x the bet for 5 of a kind. Several wild variants appear and substitute for all regular pays. A full line of 5 wilds returns 10x the stake. Symbol clarity is tidy, and line hits read cleanly on the compact 14-line layout.

Holy Heist: Slot Features

Reel Multipliers keep things moving. Each reel carries its own value on the top bar. When a wild reveals a number, that reel’s multiplier is added to the total win multiplier, which then multiplies all wins for the spin. If more than one wild reveals a number, the relevant multipliers are summed first. The total multiplier resets before each new spin, including during the bonus, so the key is landing numbered wilds at the right time.

Wild Symbol behaviour varies. A wild can reveal 1–5, become a Sticky Wild, expand to cover the reel, or act as a regular wild. Sticky Wilds award one respin and stick; if another wild turns sticky, you get another respin. During those respins, reel multiplier values progress, raising the ceiling for the next connect. Expanding Wilds turn the whole reel wild for that spin. Regular wilds simply sub in and can form their own lines.

Multiplier Adders come in two flavours. The purple adder adds a random value to the multiplier on the reel it lands on. The red adder tops up all reels at once. Possible values span 2x, 3x, 4x, 5x, 10x, 15x, 25x, 50x, and 100x. These drops can reshape the round, especially when they land alongside Sticky Wilds or during the feature where multipliers climb. Timing matters, and the sums can stack up fast when the board cooperates.

Holy Heist Spins

Land 3, 4, or 5 scatters to trigger 6, 8, or 10 free spins. At the start, each scatter assigns a random 2x–100x that is added to the multiplier on its reel. During the feature, reel multipliers progressively increase and Sticky Wilds persist until the end, although no respins occur there. Each extra scatter adds +1 spin. The total win multiplier still resets before each spin, so numbered wilds remain the lever that applies the growing reel values.

Bonus Buy in Holy Heist

There are five FeatureSpins options. BonusHunt costs 3x the bet, making free spins five times more likely, rated highly volatile with 96.33% RTP. Holy FeatureSpins costs 20x and guarantees at least two wilds per spin, highly volatile with 96.32% RTP. Holiest FeatureSpins costs 50x and guarantees at least four wilds per spin, highly volatile with 96.35% RTP. These buys front-load wild pressure to press the multiplier bar more often.

Holy Heist Spins can be bought for 100x, awarding 6–8 free spins with 96.26% RTP at very high volatility. Extreme Holy Heist Spins cost 200x for 10 free spins, also very high volatility, with 96.4% RTP. In both, reel multipliers build through the round and any Sticky Wilds persist. As ever, the total multiplier applies only when numbered wilds appear, so premium starts benefit most when those converts arrive early and keep turning up.

Holy Heist: Slot Verdict

I had a good time with this one. The nun disguise gag lands, but it’s the reel multipliers that carry the session. Medium volatility feels fair, yet the 20,000x cap gives real headroom. The total multiplier resetting each spin is a neat check, and the numbered wilds keep you engaged. Free spins can snowball when Sticky Wilds stick and adders show up. Slick presentation, tidy maths, and a feature set that pays off often enough to keep me in.
