STACK'EM

The Stack'em Online Slot, developed by Hacksaw Gaming, is part of the Pocketz series from this provider and serves as a sequel to the previous Stick'em Slot.

Hacksaw Gaming brings back one of its first characters, Canny the Can, in this follow-up titled Stack'em. The game begins with the message “Canny the can is back in Stack'em”, and players find themselves in a colorful but minimalist design, featuring captivating characters and exciting features.

All of these elements combine to create a winning formula in this fantasy-themed slot machine. Visually, the main change from the original game is the symbols that adorn the 5x6 grid.
The base game tiles from the original have been replaced by various symbols that nod toward the esoteric.

Canny is positioned on the right side of the screen, while Mona the Mouse, depicted in black, moves on the left, reminiscent of the first black-and-white animated Mickey Mouse from the 1930s.
The soundtrack features a calm swing style with piano leading the gameplay, particularly during the Bonus round.

Stack'em shines even on mobile devices, with a betting range starting from 0.20 CAD up to 100 CAD per spin.
This highly volatile slot features a Cluster Pays system and offers a maximum potential win of 10,000x the bet, with an RTP of 96.20%, slightly above the average for these types of games.

The symbols in the game include various letters, designed in a quirky style, such as A, G, E, R, T, alongside a jagged leaf, a thumbs-up, a seemingly sleeping (or dead) bird, a skull, and a snake.
For winning combinations, you must match 5 or more of the same icons anywhere on the grid. For example, a cluster of 25+ matching symbols can pay between 25x and 200x the bet. There's also a Wild symbol that can land anywhere and substitute for all symbols except the free spins symbol.

As mentioned earlier, Stack'em uses a cluster payment system, so 5 or more matching symbols connected vertically or horizontally trigger a win.
When this happens in the base game, all non-winning icons are removed, and the winning clusters fall to the bottom of the grid. Then, new symbols drop in, and if they create winning combinations, the process repeats.

At the same time, the number of winning symbols on each reel generates a Multiplier, displayed at the bottom (up to 6x per reel). The winnings are increased by the total of all multipliers (up to x30). These multipliers reset between paid spins.

To access the free spins, you need to land at least 3 Scatter symbols. Initially, you receive 5 free spins (represented by heart symbols). Each time you land a cluster in the free spins, the win Multiplier above the reels increases based on the number of winning symbols. For example, a group of 10 symbols will increase the Multiplier by +10.
Additionally, during free spins, you can encounter two new icons: the X symbol and the question mark (?) icon.

In the first case, if winning clusters connect to the "X" symbol, the prize is multiplied by the current Multiplier value. In the case of the "?", it can award mystery prizes such as additional spins or an increased Multiplier (x2, x3, x4, or x5).
The game also offers a Bonus buy option, costing 129x the bet.

Stack'em is an intriguing follow-up to the Stick'em Slot, showcasing the provider's progress over time.
Indeed, Stack'em is another example of Hacksaw's ability to create simple yet dynamic gameplay features that ensure an engaging and entertaining experience.

This online slot is a classic Hacksaw game, perfect for players who enjoy the fast-paced, dynamic gameplay that this provider is known for. Other notable Pocketz series titles include Cubes slot machine and Toshi Video Club.
