Most slot studios have a house style you can spot from the lobby thumbnail. Hacksaw doesn’t. Rubber hose cartoons, sharp urban streetwear aesthetics, anime influences, gothic illustration — the visual range across the game catalogue is broader than most studios manage in a decade, and the production quality behind each one is consistently several levels above the industry average.

Hacksaw Gaming was founded in Malta in 2018 by Marcus Cordes, initially building instant-win scratchcards and a proprietary RGS platform rather than slots. That platform-first approach shaped everything that followed: the studio developed its own distribution infrastructure before releasing a single slot, which gave it both technical control and the ability to help other independent studios bring their games to market through the same system. The pivot to video slots came in 2019, and the catalogue grew quickly. Chaos Crew in 2020 was the breakout title that established the studio’s identity, spawning two sequels and setting a template for the high-volatility, character-driven format Hacksaw has continued to refine. In 2025, the company confirmed plans to list on Nasdaq Stockholm, with a projected valuation of SEK 22 billion.
The Le series is the most recognisable franchise in the catalogue. Le Bandit, Le Pharaoh, and their successors carry a distinctive illustrated style and feature structures built around escalating free spins rounds with multiplier growth that rewards patience. Wanted Dead or a Wild takes a different visual direction but the same high-ceiling philosophy — a western theme with explosive volatility and a max win profile that made it one of the most-streamed slots of recent years. Stormforged, as a more recent example, shows how far the studio has pushed production values: layered animation, environmental storytelling, and bonus mechanics that feel earned rather than bolted on. The connective thread across all of it is that complexity and accessibility coexist. These are feature-rich games that don’t require a manual to play.
Hacksaw holds licences from the Malta Gaming Authority and the UK Gambling Commission, operates across more than 35 regulated markets, and releases up to four new titles per month. RTPs generally sit in the 96% range, with volatility skewing high to extreme across most of the catalogue. The scratchcard range, where the studio started, remains part of the portfolio alongside the slots.
