Outlaws Inc

Outlaws Inc: Slot Overview

After developer Hacksaw Gaming Exploring the allure of the Wild West theme, Wanted Dead or a Wild we anticipated another cowboy adventure with Hacksaw Gaming's slot, Outlaws Inc . Surprisingly, Outlaws Inc is not about Western bandits, but focuses on a motorcycle crew made of tough-looking, helmet-wearing animals.

That concept might remind fans of the ELK Nitropolis series, but other than featuring anthropomorphic creatures and a love for speed, the similarities end there. Nitropolis is more vibrant, whereas Outlaws Inc opts for Hacksaw's signature dark tones accented with bright neon hues. Outlaws Inc bears a resemblance to Itero, especially in its color scheme and the involvement of a multiplier feature. It's not as heavy, leaning closer to Chaos Crew in terms of emotional tone.

Although Outlaws Inc isn't Hacksaw's most intense game, boasting a volatility rating of 4 out of 5, it's certainly not a laid-back, leisurely spin either. RTP Volatility varies, so checking the paytable is wise to determine whether you're playing the version with the most generous return of 96.23% or a less favorable one. Once comfortable with the setup, you can place wagers from 10 p/c to $/€100 per spin , and unleash the motorcycle gang madness on any device.

Playing on a 5-reel , 4-row grid with 26 fixed paylines , Outlaws Inc triggers wins when three or more matching symbols align from left to right, starting from the leftmost reel. Players encounter 8 standard symbols in this 'rough neighborhood': half are lower-paying icons like bats, knuckle dusters, knives, and grenades, while the higher-paying symbols include a chicken, eagle, and two dogs. Hitting a five-match of low-paying icons earns 1-2x the bet , whereas a high symbol combination pays out 5-20x the bet . Five wilds on a line offer 20x the bet , with wilds commonly replacing symbols to complete winning combinations.

Outlaws Inc: Slot Features

Two significant icons in Outlaws Inc are the Cougar and the Orc . Notice the Global Multiplier at the top left. During free or additional spins, Cougars contribute 2x to 100x values to it, and Orc symbols enhance it with multipliers from x2 to x20. To activate this multiplier, a Gorilla symbol must appear. Without wins present, the multiplier resets. Multiple gorilla symbols apply the global multiplier for each gorilla visible.

Star Bar

To the reels' right, the Star Bar shows your base game extra spins or remaining bonus round free spins. A star symbol landing during a base game awards 1-3 Stars to the Star Bar, granting a spin per star. During extra spins, the Global Multiplier does not reset .

Bonus Game

The bonus round begins when 3, 4, or 5 FS symbols hit, granting:

• 3 Stars with an initial x1 Global Multiplier.
• 4 Stars with a starting x5 Global Multiplier.
• 5 Stars with a commencing x10 Global Multiplier.

In free spin mode, the Global Multiplier remains constant between spins, enabling gradual increase. Two new box symbols emerge; Star Boxes reveal Star Badges to replenish the Star Bar with 1-7 stars or empty Star symbols that expand the Star Bar's space up to 7. Smile boxes present a Cougar, an Orc, or a Gorilla symbol.

Bonus Buy

Pressing the Bonus Buy If available, a feature buy button offers three purchase choices. Spending 100x the bet gets 3 Stars and a 1x starting Global Multiplier (RTP 96.33%), 200x the bet provides 4 Stars and an x5 starting Global Multiplier (RTP 96.33%), or 300x the bet offers 5 Stars plus a starting x10 Global Multiplier (RTP 96.34%).

Outlaws Inc: Slot Verdict

Initially, the game's shift from a Western theme was a letdown, but Outlaws Inc doesn't captivate like Hacksaw's latest successes. It seemed like a precursor to Itero or Hand of Anubis even though released later than both. Its theme lacks the boldness of Chaos Crew, aiming at the same audience but with less engaging features. Despite its potential for explosive wins, it feels a bit unpolished.

The rules didn't clarify it initially, but it appears the Global Multiplier stays inactive until bonus rounds or extra spins are activated. Orc and Cougar symbols seem inactive otherwise. The paytable doesn't state this well, so playing fills these gaps. It's advisable to ignore the multiplier until extra spins or bonus rounds engage.

In either free spin phase, the game gains clarity. An Orc or Cougar hit adds value to the Global Multiplier. This multiplier increases until a line win hits; if no Gorilla appears, it remains unused. If a Gorilla appears without a win, the multiplier frustratingly resets.

As expected from Hacksaw, the Global Multiplier soared impressively during tests, and Stars could extend free spins considerably beyond 3, 4, or 5 initial spins. Hacksaw balances teasing and rewarding, and with Outlaws Inc, the potential to hit 10,000x the bet exists, especially with a large Global Multiplier.

Overall, Outlaws Inc delivers some adrenaline-filled moments with its intense multiplier capabilities, though overshadowed by Hacksaw Gaming's more captivating releases.
