Stack 'Em Review
Canny the Can makes his triumphant return in Stack 'Em a 5x6 Cluster Pays slot that follows in the footsteps of Stick 'Em, the first-ever online slot ever released by Hacksaw Gaming. This truly bizarre game sees players tasked with stacking building block symbols on top of eachother to grow win multipliers below the reels as non-winning symbols are removed from the game completely. Players can win a maximum prize of 10,000x by way of a Free Spins bonus feature.
Design
This gorgeous game sees mascot Canny the Can joined by buddy Mona the Mouse in a beautiful tree-lined field somewhere out in the countryside. Both Canny and Mona stand excitedly on either side of the game reels looking chirpy and ready for action.
The game grid is made up of 30 wooden building blocks that feature letters and symbols. Low paying symbols are A, G, E, R and T (we don't know why they've picked these letters), high paying symbols include a leaf, a dead bird, a skull, a snake and a thumbs up. The wild symbol is a building block featuring a child's head and the word WILD stamped over it in orange letters. The game's scatter symbol is a block featuring the letters MS and Mona the Mouse.
A jovial, upbeat piano track plays throughout gameplay. It's cheery and fits the aesthetic of this slot perfectly... We guarantee it'll put a smile on your face.
Gameplay
If players manage to land five matching symbols connected next to eachother then they'll win a cash payout. Stack 'Em differs from most standard cluster pays slots as the winning symbols remain in place whilst all of the non-winning symbols are removed from the game. Win multipliers at the bottom of the grid will increase if a winning cluster of symbols sits above them.
In terms of navigating the slot, everything can be found on a black action bar that runs along the bottom of the game screen. On the left-hand side of the action bar there's a hamburger menu that allows players access to the paytable, sound settings and turbo spins. On the right-hand side of the action bar there's a stake selection button, spin button and autospin button.
Win Potential
This high volatility slot has a decent RTP of 96.20% and can see players win a maximum of 10,000x their stake, which isn't bad at all. We found that the majority of our big wins came by way of the free spins feature, as a host of large winning clusters saw our overall win multiplier truly climb to dizzy heights.
Our Verdict
Stack 'Em is a truly unique slot that looks fantastic and is a lot of fun to play. Whilst this slot isn't full to the brim with bonus features, the quirky mechanics and increasing win multipliers are more than enough to make up for that.
