Pray for Six Demo: Free Play and Review

Thirty squares, no Wild, and a bar above them

The grid is six reels wide and five rows deep, 30 squares in all. A symbol pays when 8 or more copies sit anywhere on it, touching or not, and the price climbs with the count up to 19. Winners drop out, and the cascades run until nothing new wins.

There is no Wild. The noose, hammer, flail and sword pay 0.1x for eight and 50x for 19. Four heads start at 0.2x to 0.5x and go up to 555x, while the red-and-white pair of hands pays 3.3x for eight and 666x for 19.

Wins pile up in the Total Win Bar, the long box over the reels, and are paid when the last cascade ends. The short box at its right end holds the multiplier.

A 6 waits until the cascades are done

A 6 on the first drop is cyan and waits. It catches fire only if the spin has a win, once the cascades stop; a 6 that falls in during a cascade arrives lit. Only one 6 can sit on a reel at a time.

Our log has a 6 on the first drop of 30 base spins. On 16 of them the spin had no win, so the 6 stayed cyan and paid nothing. Each wheel spins on the square where its 6 stood.

Cash is added to the bar like any other win. Multipliers are kept apart. Adding values are summed, multiplying values multiply the running figure, and the bar is multiplied once at the end. Because that figure starts at zero instead of 1, an adding 2x and an adding 5x on spin 94 made 7x, and the €4.20 in the bar, two Bronze 1x prizes plus €0.20 of symbols, became €29.40.

The demo's game data holds 17 layouts of the wheel, 12 segments each, and only 3 carry the 20,000x segment. The screen does not say which layout a 6 got.

Three bonuses, and one bar that keeps its total

FS tombstones that land together pick the bonus by their count, and each bonus runs 10 free spins. Inside any of them two FS symbols at once add 2 spins, three add 4.

• Unholy Offspring, 3 FS: base rules, more 6 symbols.
• Cradle of Chaos, 4 FS: the Total Win Bar keeps wins and multipliers until the bonus ends.
• Playtime in Purgatory, 5 FS, not for sale: Hacksaw's game page promises at least two 6 symbols every spin, the demo's GAME INFO at least one.

We bought Unholy Offspring for €200.00. One free spin put a 2x over a €13.60 bar for €27.20. The last spin paid most. It began with €1.20 of symbols, a wheel on reel 1 added a Silver 5x, and a second wheel on reel 5 stopped on 5x.

That came to €56.00. No FS came back, and the TOTAL WIN screen showed €120.80, 60.4x the bet for a price of 100x.

Mostly Bronze, once Gold

A separate script sent 500 paid spins of €2.00 to Hacksaw's demo server and kept every answer, wheels included.

Across 17 base spins, 25 wheels turned: 19 cash, 4 adding, 2 multiplying and no MAX WIN. Eleven of the cash results were Bronze 1x, and the one Gold was the 25x on spin 279. With their symbol wins counted in, those 17 spins brought €504.60, out of €800.00 for the whole base game.

Right after the session's lowest balance, €4,682.80, spin 279 paid €270.00, 135x the bet. Both natural bonuses were Unholy Offspring; in the second, on spin 483, a multiplying x5 on a €43.80 bar paid €219.00. The log closed at 120.6% of stakes, far above the RTP.

A 6 for sale on every spin

The FeatureSpins cards charge on every spin until DISABLE; the bonuses are paid for once.

666 FeatureSpins puts a 6 on each spin, which still needs a win to light up, and FS symbols cannot land while it runs. Cradle of Chaos costs 3 times Unholy Offspring for the same 10 spins with a bar that does not reset between spins.

Demo credits play the 96.35% version, and the cards return between 96.27% and 96.36%. Casinos can pick a lower setting instead; their listings name 94.29%, 92.27% and 86.21%. In some countries the whole menu is missing.

Pray for Three's bar, SixSixSix's sixes

The Total Win Bar comes from Pray for Three, which uses the same seven multiplying values, x2 to x33. Its adding list has 50x and 200x where this one has 15x and 33x, and its single Wheel of Sin, opened by Prayer Hands, sits beside a 5x5 grid of 3,125 ways.

Sixes that turn into wheels are the SixSixSix idea, seen on this site in Epic SixSixSix, a 5x4 game on 14 paylines whose Wicked Wheels add, multiply, award the max win or start a bonus. The original SixSixSix is not reviewed here.

Neither game has cash segments, and Epic SixSixSix keeps its 6s to reels 1, 3 and 5, while here a 6 can land on any reel. The 3, 4 and 5 FS ladder of 10-spin bonuses and volatility 4 match Pray for Three; the cap rises from 13,333x to 20,000x.

The wheels did most of the paying in our log. They turned on only 17 of 500 base spins yet brought in most of the base-game money, even though the result they gave most often was a Bronze 1x. Other Hacksaw slots we have reviewed are listed on the home page.
