Hacksaw Gaming is the studio behind Hand of Anubis β and behind a fast-growing catalogue of high-volatility, mechanic-led slots and scratch games. If Hand of Anubis is the title that brought you here, Hacksaw is the developer that made it, and getting to know the studio explains a lot about why the game looks, feels and behaves the way it does. This hub covers who Hacksaw is, the style that ties their games together, and a few of the other titles in their library β by name and theme only.

About the studio
Hacksaw Gaming is a Malta-based developer that built its reputation in two stages: first as a maker of digital scratchcards, and then as one of the most distinctive video-slot studios of the current era. Their house style is easy to recognise once you have played a couple of their games β bold, characterful art, a strong central mechanic rather than a pile of half-features, and high to very high volatility aimed at players who want a big ceiling and are willing to ride the swings to reach it. Hand of Anubis is a textbook example: a single clean idea (cluster pays plus a progressive multiplier wild), two well-defined bonus rounds, and a 10,000Γ top prize.
That focus on a clear hook is why the studio's games travel well. A player who enjoys the tension of Hand of Anubis tends to feel at home across the rest of the catalogue, because the wrapper changes but the design philosophy β simple to grasp, high in variance, built around one memorable mechanic β does not. The trade-off is the obvious one for the genre: these are not gentle games, and dry spells are part of the deal.

Hand of Anubis is standalone β there is no sequel β so the games below are not "versions" of it. They are simply other popular Hacksaw titles you might enjoy if its style appeals to you. Importantly, we feature them by name and theme only: we have not verified their individual specifications, so we do not state an RTP or a maximum win for any of them. Always confirm a game's details in its own info panel before you play.
- Le Bandit β a heist-themed slot starring Smokey the raccoon, one of the studio's recurring characters.
- Wanted Dead or a Wild β a gritty spaghetti-western slot with a hard-edged, high-variance reputation.
- Chaos Crew β a punk, arcade-flavoured title with a loud, rebellious aesthetic.
- RIP City β a graffiti and street-art themed slot.
- Stack'em β a stripped-back, retro fruit-machine style game.
Each of these is its own slot with its own rules, RTP and ceiling; the only safe place to read those numbers is the game itself or the casino that hosts it.
What ties the catalogue together
For all the variety in theme, Hacksaw's games share a consistent design DNA: strong art direction, one central mechanic done well, fast and readable interfaces, and high variance with provably transparent maths in the form of a clearly stated RTP. You are rarely fumbling to understand what a feature does, the hook is usually obvious within a few spins, and the studio leans into volatility rather than apologising for it. That consistency is the reason their titles have spread across so many licensed casinos, and the reason fans of one Hacksaw slot so often work their way through several.
If you want to start β or stay β with the title this site is about, the main Hand of Anubis guide is the place to begin, with the features page for the bonus rounds and the how it works guide for the mechanics. Whatever you pick from the Hacksaw shelf, the same rules apply: it is real-money gambling with real variance, so choose a licensed casino and play responsibly.
