Shaolin Master

Hacksaw's video slot, Shaolin Master, employs the Cluster Pays mechanic, which requires a minimum of five adjacent symbols to form a winning combination, whether arranged horizontally or vertically. Winning symbols vanish, making way for new ones and paving the way for cascading wins. Among its features are special wild multiplier symbols called Chi Orbs: the Blue Chi Orb boosts the multiplier by +1 for each cascade win, while the Red Chi Orb increases the multiplier based on the size of the winning cluster. The Balance Chi Orb, which appears only during cascades, has a multiplier value derived from the Blue and Red orbs active at that time, disappearing after it contributes to the win.

To activate "The Student Bonus," players need three FS Scatter symbols, which awards 10 free spins, increasing to 12 with four scatters. In this bonus round, each reel has multiplier values that rise by +1 with every winning cluster formed on that reel. Randomly, Green Gem multiplier modifier symbols can amplify these reel multipliers, ranging from 2× to 10×. When the Green Chi Orb appears, it activates its multiplier, adding +3 spins to the remaining free spins, and the total of all activated multipliers is applied to cluster wins.

"The Master Bonus" feature is triggered by five scatter symbols and is played in a hold & win format, beginning with three lives. In this round, regular symbols are replaced by special Stone Block symbols. Multiplier values on the reels can be boosted by Multiplier Modifier Blocks, which may target specific reels or all reels in certain cases. The Blue Gem and Epic Blue Gem add value, while the Green Gem and Epic Green Gem enhance the corresponding multipliers. Ice Blocks fall and shatter, while Crusher Blocks clear all blocks in their path, transforming into a large Multiplier Block below. Each time a new Multiplier Block, Modifier Block, or Crusher Block appears, the live count resets to three, and the bonus concludes when lives reach zero, at which point the values of all Blocks are summed and multiplied by the bet.

Shaolin Master also features a Bonus Buy option, granting direct access to bonus games. Choices include BonusHunt, which increases the chances of triggering bonuses at multiple times the bet, Enlightened FeatureSpins, which guarantees a Red Chi Orb and at least one winning cluster, and direct access to both The Student bonus and The Master bonus. The game’s theme centers on the teacher-student dynamic within a dojo, with visuals and sound effects that capture the essence of Chi Orbs, stone blocks, and the artistry of Chinese kung fu.
