Hacksaw Gaming Showcases Unique Mechanic in Phoenix DuelReels Slot

Hacksaw Gaming, a brand synonymous with distinctive slot audiovisuals, taps into ancient Egyptian and Asian folklore for Phoenix DuelReels. The slot pits fire, in the form of the regenerating phoenix bird, against ice, represented by a dragon.

The new release reintroduces players to Hacksaw's DuelReels mechanic. The engine was popularized by Wanted Dead or a Wild, a fiendish title with a massive win potential of up to 12,500x the bet. It now returns with a slightly lower maximum pay of 10,000x but a kinder volatility rating of 3/5 (medium).

A Colorful Clash

Phoenix DuelReels has the hallmark looks, sounds, and features of a Hacksaw Gaming slot. An intense and grandeur collision of ice and fire sets the backdrop for a five-reel slot, where the frosty and blazing creatures battle it out to award payouts on 14 paylines.

The payout system is standard for the average slot, starting with the familiar poker cards 10 to A as the low pays, awarding up to 1x the stake. A complete line of premiums, including an egg, grail, orb, and the two main characters, earns 10x the bet.

DuelReels and Resurrection Spins

Hacksaw Gaming's reliance on more than visual representation shines in this new release. Phoenix DuelReels has a host of features ready to crank up the action. The gameplay experience is built around the DuelReels mechanic, which activates when a VS symbol appears and completes a winning combination.

This bonus sets the stage for the Phoenix and Dragon to appear and duel. The winner awards the attached multiplier to any winning combination contributed to by the DuelReel. The bonus multipliers can be up to 200x. If the Phoenix loses, the slot awards a respin with the assurance of landing a VS symbol.

More Bonus Features

When a Phoenix DuelReels bonus game activates, players can move on to it or gamble for a better deal. The feature begins with five Phoenix eggs; gamblers can select up to three. The eggs reveal a maximum of ten extra spins or a bonus upgrade to Rise of the Phoenix.

The slot activates ten Fire and Water free spins for three scatters with better odds of landing VS symbols. Four scatters trigger Rise of the Phoenix free spins, which are also ten but have enhanced Resurrection respins. Ultimately, the slot is executed to appeal to fans of the popular slot series without changing the original genre.
