Hacksaw Gaming
The studio behind Gods Go Pew Pew
Company History
Hacksaw Gaming launched in 2018 with roughly 15 people working out of Malta. The founders had backgrounds at NetEnt and Leander Games — years of building slots for other studios before deciding to do it themselves.
First two years were scratch cards and instant-win titles. The pivot to video slots happened in 2020, and it rewrote their trajectory. Within 24 months they held licenses across 20+ jurisdictions and had shipped over 50 slot titles. By 2024, they were one of the most-requested providers on casino aggregation platforms.
What makes them different? Each game gets a bespoke mechanic. Plasma Multipliers and Expanding Shields in Gods Go Pew Pew. DuelReels in Epic Bullets and Bounty. xNudge Wilds in Dork Unit. Their 2024-2025 catalog averages 3+ unique mechanics per title — compare that to studios that reskin the same bonus round 40 times with different wallpaper.
What They Do Best
High-Volatility Focus
Most Hacksaw slots rate 4/5 or 5/5 volatility. They build for players who accept long droughts in exchange for explosive features.
Unique Mechanics Per Game
No engine recycling. Every title gets its own signature system — Plasma Multipliers, DuelReels, xNudge, Duel at Dawn are all Hacksaw originals.
Tiered Feature Buys
Multiple bonus buy options at different price points let players choose their risk level — from 5x boosted spins to 400x+ premium bonuses.
Mobile-First Development
Portrait mode is the primary design target. Desktop is the adaptation. Touch controls, vertical layouts, and thumb-friendly UI come first.

All Hacksaw Gaming slots are certified by BMM Testlabs for RNG integrity. Regular third-party audits verify that the published RTP matches actual gameplay data across millions of spins.

Why Gods Go Pew Pew?
Hacksaw Gaming's calling card is building a unique mechanic system for every game. Gods Go Pew Pew's Plasma Multipliers and Expanding Wild Shields don't exist in any other Hacksaw title — they're exclusive to this slot. The mobile-first approach means the 5x4 grid was designed for portrait play from day one. At 4/5 volatility, it's slightly more forgiving than their 5/5 titles like Dork Unit or Wanted — giving mythology fans a high-action experience without the most extreme bankroll demands.
