Junkyard Kings (Hacksaw Gaming) – Review & Demo Play

Junkyard Kings Slots Theme, Graphics & Soundtrack

I love how Junkyard Kings turns a grim scrapyard into a rat-ruled kingdom with piles of scrap framing a polished 7x7 grid. Symbols like rusty cans, leftover pizza, banana skins and a cash-filled trash bin sell the idea straight away. The graphics feel modern without fuss. The soundtrack has a slightly ominous tone that hints at trouble in the yard, giving spins a tense edge. It’s gritty, a bit cheeky, and it sticks in the mind after a few rounds.

Junkyard Kings RTP & Volatility

Stats are right in my wheelhouse here. Default RTP sits at 96.26%, with an alternate 94.33% setup used at some sites. Volatility is medium, paired with a 37% hit frequency, so the flow feels balanced rather than swingy. Bets range from 0.10 to 100 a spin, covering most bankrolls. The headline number is a 12,000x max win, which is a step up from plenty of grid slots I’ve played. It’s a tidy package for sustained sessions.

How to Play Junkyard Kings

Set your stake by tapping the bet control, anywhere from 0.10 to 100. Open the information panel and skim the paytable so you know the cluster thresholds and what the special symbols actually do. Hit spin and aim for clusters of five or more matching symbols connected horizontally or vertically. Wins trigger cascades as clusters are removed and new symbols drop in, so single spins can chain nicely when the yard heats up.

I also check audio, speed and quick spin toggles before I start, then I let the base game build its rhythm. On a 7x7 cluster pays grid the board position matters, so I keep an eye on where wins land because those cells can carry multipliers in this slot. When the mood takes me, I’ll pivot to feature options, but I prefer to let a session breathe first and see how the yard is behaving.

How to Win at Junkyard Kings

Cluster pays drive momentum. You want tight groups forming near each other so cascades refill useful spaces. Increasing Cell Multipliers rise by 1x on cells involved in wins, and multiple cells stack for the same cluster. In base play they reset after the spin ends, so my plan is to chain wins quickly and take a shot when multipliers are spread across key spots. The max per cell is 100x, which can turn a tidy cluster into a belter.

When I’m chasing features, I use Bonushunt FeatureSpins at 3x for five times better free spins odds. If I’m feeling bold, the super option at 200x gives me Extreme Junkyard Scavenger Spins with a Permanent Doubling Wild from the off. There’s also a 20x spin that guarantees at least one Walking Wild, and a straight 100x buy for regular Junkyard Scavenger Spins. I pick based on session goals, stake, and how the base game has flowed.

Symbols and Payouts in the Junkyard Kings slot

Low pays are the card suits, paying from 0.20x up to 25x for the biggest clusters. Premiums are the tin can, banana peel, pizza slice, and the bucket of cash. Max clusters land 50x on the can, 100x on the banana, 300x on the pizza and 500x on the cash bucket. Clusters start at five symbols, and larger groups scale the rewards, so board space and cascades matter a great deal when premiums pile up.

There are four wild types, colour coded, and a golden crown scatter. Wilds can even pay 500x for a 39+ cluster. The scatter triggers Junkyard Scavenger Spins when three or more land. Because wins mark the cells and multipliers apply to any cluster using those cells, a chunky premium cluster sitting on a few charged cells can pay well above the printed line values. That mix of grid geometry and rising cell power is the hook.

Junkyard Kings Bonus Features

Increasing Cell Multipliers are the backbone. Each winning symbol marks its cell and that cell climbs by 1x, up to 100x. In base play they reset after the spin, but during Junkyard Scavenger Spins they hold and keep climbing, which is where major totals appear. Multiple marked cells add together for the same cluster, so a spread of medium cells can outpace one chunky spot when the grid aligns. It’s very Sugar Rush in feel, with its own spin.

Wilds come in flavours. The Doubling Wild doubles the cell it lands on before acting as a standard wild. The Permanent Doubling Wild moves to a neighbouring cell after wins and doubles again; during free spins it sticks around for the whole feature, shifting each spin. The Walking Wild roams 2 to 10 steps and leaves a trail of regular wilds, which can stitch clusters across the yard. The plain wild fills gaps and keeps chains going.

Junkyard Scavenger Spins trigger with three scatters for 10 spins. Hit four scatters and you still get 10 but with a guaranteed Permanent Doubling Wild on the first spin. Feature buys mirror that ladder: 3x Bonushunt for higher trigger odds, 20x with a guaranteed Walking Wild, 100x for Junkyard Scavenger Spins, and 200x for the Extreme version that starts with the persistent doubler. This is where every spin can get spicy as cell values stack.

Junkyard Kings Review Summary

Junkyard Kings hits a nice balance for me. The yard theme and ominous audio give the grid character, the 7x7 clusters feel clean, and the cell multipliers keep me engaged even when wins are modest. Base play can run steady rather than frantic, yet the feature round ramps up fast, with 12,000x sitting on the horizon when cells charge across the board. It’s a solid piece from Bullshark Games and an easy one to return to.
