Pray For Three (Hacksaw Gaming) – Review & Demo Play

The Pray for Three Slot Game

I’ve followed Hacksaw’s underworld since SixSixSix, and Pray for Three keeps that monochrome cabaret vibe while switching the focus to Scary Mary and Morbid Magda. It runs on a 5x5 grid with 3,125 ways to win and cascades that clear winning symbols while the Total Win Bar tallies everything. It plays medium to high on the risk scale, and the whole thing hums with a plinky jazz soundtrack and cyan flashes against black and white. It feels familiar yet different in flow.

Symbols and Payouts in Pray for Three

Paytable wise, the lows are nails, candle, whip, hourglass, and tombstone, paying 0.1x, 0.2x, and 0.3x for three, four, or five of a kind. Highs step up through a cup, a crow, a snake, a lamb, then the bleeding-eyed girl, peaking at 4x for five. Wins land from the leftmost reel on adjacent columns, so ways maths matters more than lines. I like how values stay modest in isolation, as the real hit comes when multipliers stack from the wheel.

The wild crosses substitute across the board and even carry their own payout, with five on a way paying 5x the stake. When a wild forms part of a win it flips to an upside down cross, which fits the theme neatly. FS scatters show on the leftmost, middle, and rightmost reels, while Prayer Hand and Divine Prayer Hand symbols sit outside the paytable yet drive the game’s biggest swings via the Wheel of Sin when they appear on a winning tumble.

Pray for Three Slot Bonus Features

Above the grid sits the Wheel of Sin. Land a Prayer Hand on a winning spin and it reveals one, two, or three sections; a Divine Prayer Hand fires all three. The left section carries adding multipliers from x2 to x333, the middle shows either adding x2 to x333 or multiplying x2 to x33, and the right section is multiplying x2 to x33. Values combine, so you can stack adders then multiply the lot. It’s the core mechanic that turns modest connections into proper hits.

Wicked Ways triggers from three FS scatters and gives 10 free spins with an increased chance of Prayer Hands and wilds. Living on a Prayer arrives from four scatters and also starts with 10 spins, but regular Prayer Hands are removed and the Divine version becomes more common. Flames of Fortune is the top tier from five scatters; you start on 10 spins, wilds appear more often, and each spin guarantees one Divine Prayer Hand, putting the wheel in play every time.

If you’re outside the UK, FeatureSpins and buys are on the menu. BonusHunt makes each spin five times more likely to trigger a bonus for 3x per spin. Hail Mary costs 50x and guarantees a win with a Prayer Hand or Divine Prayer Hand in view. You can also buy Wicked Ways for 100x and Living on a Prayer for 225x. The top tier Flames of Fortune cannot be bought, which keeps that target as a pure grind.

How to Win at Pray for Three Slot

Gameplay is straightforward. I set my stake between 10p and £100, spin the 5x5 grid, and aim for three or more matching symbols on adjacent reels from the left. Cascades can trigger new wins, and a Prayer Hand can arrive from a tumble, which matters because the wheel only wakes up when a Hand lands during a win. I find the rhythm is about chaining ways hits and then letting the Wheel of Sin turn those sequences into proper payouts.

Pray for Three Slot RTP & Volatility

The headline RTP sits at 96.33%, but this is a variable setup that some sites run lower, down to 88.35%. Volatility leans medium-high to high, which matches the game’s reliance on multipliers and the sporadic nature of Divine Prayer Hands. OLBG quotes a hit frequency of 27.67%, which ties in with how often I saw small ways wins drop in while waiting for the wheel to matter. Stakes cover casual spins through to high-roller punts.

The max win caps at 13,333x, and that ceiling can land in base play or any bonus, since the Wheel of Sin is present across the board. It’s not the wildest number from Hacksaw, yet with additive and multiplying values combining, the game still packs a heavy punch when the wheel aligns. From a bankroll view, I prefer chipping away in Wicked Ways and chasing Flames of Fortune on merit rather than buying, as the peak mode is off limits anyway.

Pray for Three Slot Verdict

As a follow-up to SixSixSix, Pray for Three trades Wicked Wheels for the triple-section Wheel of Sin and arms it with adders and multipliers. The tone is more understated and a touch more sinister, with Scary Mary and Morbid Magda flanking the grid while that plinky soundtrack purrs along. I like how the suspense sits in every phase, since Hands can drop on any win, and the grind towards Flames of Fortune feels like a proper target rather than a coupon.

It’s not the most original idea Hacksaw has put out, and that’s fine, because the delivery is tight and the multiplier maths can do real damage. On balance, I rate this as a neatly built slot with a strong theme loop and enough high-end potential to keep me chasing those Divine hits. When the wheel lights up across all three sections, the game sings; when it doesn’t, the 3,125 ways and cascades keep the spins ticking without feeling dead.
