The Crime File

In the dark, noir-inspired city of anthropomorphic dogs, The Crime File by Hacksaw presents a video slot that revolves around detective storytelling. The game features a layout of 5 reels and 4 rows, with a total of 14 fixed paylines. One of its key mechanics is the expanding Wild symbols known as “The Hunt,” which can grow upward to cover the entire reel when part of a winning combination, revealing a multiplier in the process. These Wild multipliers are collected in a Total Multiplier bar, where all multipliers from a single spin are summed and applied to the winnings of that spin. Another notable feature is “The Capture,” which allows high-value symbols to land in stacks; if four matching premium symbols appear consecutively on a reel during a win, they combine into a full 1×4 stack that contributes its own multiplier to the Total Multiplier bar, regardless of whether it forms part of a payline win.

Landing 3, 4, or 5 scatter symbols in the base game triggers a bonus round called the Interrogation Bonus, awarding 10, 15, or 20 free spins correspondingly. During this free spins round, all Wilds expand to their full height, maximizing the potential range of multipliers from Wilds. The Capture multipliers operate as they do in the base game, but scatter symbols do not appear during the free spins, preventing any retriggering of the bonus. Players have access to various Feature-Buy options (where allowed), which enable direct entry into bonus rounds: one increases the likelihood of triggering the bonus, another ensures at least one Wild per spin, and one allows players to purchase the Interrogation Bonus directly. The Crime File offers the potential for a maximum win of 10,000 times the stake, with its theme, visuals, and symbols creating a gritty detective atmosphere, complemented by a fitting moody soundtrack.
