Klowns

Available online since January 2, 2025, this slot offers a game grid with 6 reels and 5 rows and uses a Scatter-pays winning system, which requires at least 8 equal symbols appearing in any visible position, without the need to follow specific paylines.

Players can choose their bet within a wide range, with a minimum bet of $0.10 and a maximum of $100. The game has a maximum RTP of 96.33%, but lower variants are available for players. The math of the game is based on a medium volatility model, with a maximum payout of up to 10,000 times the bet. In the base game, the estimated payout frequency is quite generous, standing at 40.18%. Klowns has a medium volatility, ideal for those seeking a balance between frequency and amount of winnings.

The theoretical return to player (RTP) varies among operators and jurisdictions, offering different configurations to fit regulatory or strategic needs. The maximum RTP is set at 96.26%, but alternative versions are available with rates of 94.31%, 92.31% and 88.30%, offering flexibility to operators without compromising the gaming experience.

Klown Multipliers, both additive and multiplicative, are a suspenseful element and can greatly increase total wins, offering an additional level of excitement to gameplay.

The slot machine symbols

By forming combinations consisting of 16 or more identical symbols, you get maximum value from the symbols in this slot.

Low-value symbols are represented by red balloons depicting the numbers and letters of playing cards (10, J, Q, K and A), and guarantee a payout of 10 times the bet for combinations of 16 or more symbols. Higher-value symbols, also depicted as balloons, feature distinctive emblems such as an anarchy symbol, a pentagram, a skeletal face, a smiling face, and the words “love.” These symbols can offer wins ranging from 20 to 50 times the bet for combinations of 16 or more symbols.

In addition to the regular symbols, the game also features Needle Boxes, Klown Multipliers and FS Scatters, which are used to activate special and bonus features.

Bonus functions of the slot machine

The slot features a variety of functions and bonuses designed to enrich the gaming experience and increase the chances of winning. Below, we discover in detail all the features that make this slot unique.

Total Winnings Bar

All winnings accumulated during each round are collected in the Total Win Bar, located outside the game grid. Any activated Klown Multiplier is added to the Total Win Bar at the end of the sequential spin, and the result of all multipliers is applied to the total amount of winnings collected. This system allows you to significantly multiply the total winnings at the end of the spin.

Needle Boxes

Needle Boxes are special symbols that are activated after the grid has stabilized and all wins have been awarded. Their main function is to “clean” the grid by removing specific symbols:

• Needle Boxes Low Symbols: they remove all low-paying symbols from the grid, awarding 0.1 times the bet for each symbol removed.
• Needle Boxes High Symbols: remove all high-paying symbols, awarding 0.5 times the bet per symbol eliminated.

This feature not only frees up space on the grid for new symbols, but also helps accumulate additional winnings.

Klown Multipliers

Klown Multipliers come into play at the end of each spin, provided at least one win has occurred during that spin. There are two types of Klown Multipliers:

• Additive Klown Multipliers: they can appear with initial values of 2x, 3x, 4x, 5x, 10x, 15x, 20x, 25x, 50x, 100x, 250x or 500x. These multipliers are added to the current multiplier on the Total Win Bar.
• Klown Multipliers: appear with initial values of x2, x3, x4, x5, x10 or x20 and multiply the current value in the Total Win Bar.

These symbols add an element of suspense, as each multiplier can potentially significantly increase total winnings.

Klowns compared to 3 other slots from Hacksaw Gaming

Lester’s Cash Carousel

Activated by getting 3 FS Scatter symbols in the base game, this bonus feature offers 10 free spins. The basic mechanics remain the same, but there is a higher chance of getting high multipliers.

During the bonus, a special Booty Balloon enters the scene: this collects all multipliers applied by the Total Win Bar, doubling them. The Balloon continues to grow until it is “popped” by an Epic Needle Box, which combines the effects of the Low and High Symbol Needle Boxes. Once burst, the accumulated value is added to the Total Win Bar, and the Balloon reappears ready to collect new multipliers.

Extra spins are also possible:

• 2 FS Scatter symbols add 2 free spins;
• 3 FS Scatter symbols add 4 free spins.

Jester’s Jackpot

This bonus feature is activated by getting 4 FS Scatter symbols in the base game and awards 10 free spins. Jester’s Jackpot maintains the same mechanics as Lester’s Cash Carousel, but with one key difference: the Booty Balloon reappears with the previous multiplier value intact, ready to grow further.

Additional free spins are also possible here:

• 2 FS Scatter symbols add 2 free spins;
• 3 FS Scatter symbols add 4 free spins.
