Chaos Crew

Enter the world of Cranky and Sketchy for high-volatility reel mayhem on the slot from Hacksaw Gaming powered by Relax Gaming. Chaos Crew brings the pranks of a cranky cat and a sketchy skull to a 5×5 grid with wild substitutions, random mystery multiplier and a bonus game with respins to collect bet multipliers that can lead wins of up to 10,000 times your bet.

Slot Details

Chaos Crew is a 5×5 video slot with 15 fixed pay lines. Wins are awarded for three to five matching symbols landing on a line from left to right only. You can join the hilarious crew on desktop, tablet and mobile from 0.20 to 100 credits per spin. The game has high volatility with an RTP of 96.30%. Using the Buy Bonus feature will slightly reduce the value to 95.92%.

Hacksaw Gaming has an affinity for unusual slot formats and designs, cue in The Bomb or The Respinners. On this occasion, they are taking us into the world of graffiti art. A spray-painted wall serves as the background to a dark reel set that is populated by colourful symbols that include brains and skulls, all to a pacey EDM soundtrack.

The pay symbols are somewhat hard to describe as they are all some sort of artistic creations. At the low end, you will find an eight-ball, a skull, a smiley face, a cross and lightning strikes, awarding 1x your bet for a single five of a kind. They are followed by a butterfly necklace, a brain, a half-eaten apple and an octopus polyp. Hit five on a line to win 5x to 12x your stake. The Cranky Cat is the wild symbol substituting for all regular symbols. A simple icon marked with ‘Free Spins’, appearing on reels one, three and five only acts as the scatter.

Chaos Crew Slot Features

The gameplay is relatively tilted towards the bonus round, hence, there isn’t really that much happening in the base game. The Mystery Multiplier will lighten up the scenery and possibly your mood as you wait for a feature trigger. It could also deliver a big win. Whenever the Cranky Cat Wild lands in a winning combination it will display a random multiplier of x2, x3, or x5. More than one in a combo will be multiplied by each other.

Hitting three scatters in one spin will trigger the Free Spins feature with initially 3 spins. The regular pay symbols are removed and replaced with blanks and four special symbols. The aim of the bonus round is to hit special symbols that will increase the x1 starting bet multiplier on top of each reel. The values from all five reels will be added at the end of the feature to calculate the total bet multiplier for the round.

Landing one special symbol will reset the spin counter to three as indicated on the right of the game window. Plus, each of the four will award either additional bet multiplier or will multiply the existing one. Here’s what you can expect:

• Sketchy Skull: Adds a random bet multiplier only to the value on top of the reel where it landed. Choices are x1, x2, x5, x10 and x20.
• Epic Sketchy Skull: Appears on a coloured tile and will add the revealed bet multiplier to the current values on all reels.
• Cranky Cat: Multiplies the current bet multiplier on top of the reel where it landed. Choices are 2x, 3x, 5x, 10x or 20x.
• Epic Cranky Cat: Appears on a coloured tile and will apply the revealed multiplier to the current values on all reels.

All special symbols that appear on a free spin will not be sticky, so you can land them again and again. The round ends when you run out of spins or hit the win cap of 10,000 times your bet. For the impatient among us slotting folks, there is a Buy Bonus button that will grant instant access to the bonus game for a one-time bet of 128x your stake (restricted in some jurisdictions).

Final Verdict

Chaos Crew is not the most revolutionary slot, nor the most creative one coming from Hacksaw Gaming but it delivers solid gameplay with mega win potential, albeit with rather high volatility. We have seen the bonus game type becoming more popular in recent times – Money Train 2 and Bonus Bunnies are just two examples – and Chaos Crew feels like it is jumping on the bandwagon to be part of the frenzy. Overall though, a well-designed and entertaining game.
