Wishbringer

From the ancient Norwegian setting of Stormforged to the Japanese aesthetics of Densho, Hacksaw Gaming has covered all sorts of themes across its 120+ games. The Wishbringer slot shows that the studio is focusing on balancing a premium slot experience with exciting themes. The official description of Wishbringer highlights how the Genie holds the key to unlocking greater riches for the characters.

Not only does it add a supernatural element to its Arabian setting, but it also reflects the motif of risk and reward that is first and foremost associated with online casino games.

Animations are at the heart of Wishbringer since both the FS symbol of the lamp and the Genie Wild symbol have longer animations than any other in the game. I certainly enjoyed the game springing forth into life, and there are smaller animations within all the symbols that make the game highly engaging.

I think the color palette picked out for this precise theme was a great choice, as the game appears closer to the imagined view of retro Arabian towns. As far as the soundtrack is concerned, I do think the choice could have been more deliberate. All things considered, the Wishbringer slot provides a nearly perfect audio-visual experience.

The online slot offers an RTP (return to player) of 96.33%, and combined with the medium volatility of the game, it emerges as one of the most beginner-friendly games out there. While the medium volatility doesn’t exactly make it the ideal choice for high rollers, it doesn’t alienate them either.

Wishbringer accommodates players of all risk appetites, as players have the option to bet as little as €0.10 and as high as €100. I like that this is a common trait among most Hacksaw Gaming titles. The maximum reward of 10,000x is a little lower than expected when I compared it against Beam Boys, which is another game from Hacksaw. What it lacks in big rewards, it makes up for by a thrilling gameplay experience.  

Details like a 6×4 grid design, 4,096 paylines, and other gameplay details reflect that it’s not necessarily an exceptional game. However, it is a game that sticks true to its elements, which is why it makes for a fun experience.

I found this to be the case as I used its betting panel. While increasing or decreasing the bet amount is one of the easiest things to pull off, there is an autoplay option to make a series of bets extremely easy.

The symbols are split into standard high and low-paying categories. While 10 to A constitute the low-paying symbols, high-paying symbols include a prince, a princess, a dagger, gold, and a necklace. Here’s the paytable for the game.

If you use online casinos on your smartphones, then you can conveniently play the Wishbringer game demo on your mobile. This is because Hacksaw Gaming is keeping up with the times and bringing HTML5 technology into the fold to ensure that their games can be enjoyed by players no matter where they are or what device they’re using.

Though there aren’t way too many features in Wishbringer, the game has just enough for players to be entertained. I found the Genie Wild mechanic to be the highlight of the game, even though it’s a reiteration of a similar mechanic in Beam Boys.

Genie Wilds

The Genie symbols can show up on all but the leftmost reel, and once executed, it converts the symbol to its left, which leads to a win through the execution of the relative paylines. At times, the wild covers several symbols at once, and when a 6-wild payline is executed, you get a 5x win. This is a neat mechanic that emphasizes how thrilling Wishbringer can be.

Arabian Nights Bonus Game

Finally, some free spins. If you hit three FS scatter symbols, you enter a bonus game with five free spins, and so on, with the limit being 6 FS symbols for a 40 FS bonus game. That’s not all, since upon landing 2 and 3 scatter symbols, the game awards you 2 and 4 FS respectively.

Bonus Buy Feature

Free spins can be bought, especially in a Hacksaw Gaming slot. Here, players can either get a better likelihood of scatter symbols for more FS games or get bigger payouts through more wild symbols.

Free Spins

For 5x the bet, players can make a bonus game featuring 10 free spins more likely.

Genie’s Wish

At least one Genie symbol is guaranteed from reels two to six for a 50x bet amount. A higher return is likely if you opt for this bonus game, as for 200x the bet, at least one Genie symbol will land in reels four to six.

Guaranteed FS Round

If you want luck to be truly on your side, you can enter the FS bonus round right away for 110x the bet. You can get either 10, 20, or 40 FS.
