Hacksaw Gaming
The studio behind Donut Division
Company History
Hacksaw Gaming launched from Sliema, Malta in 2018 under a founding team out of NetEnt and Leander Games. Scratch cards were the first product line; the studio only reoriented around video slots in 2020, and its Swedish design instincts carried over into the polished, cartoon-forward look it is known for now.
Donut Division, released in December 2024, shows a side of the studio its extreme titles hide. This is a cops-and-donuts comedy built at 3 of 5 on the volatility meter rather than the 5/5 the catalogue is famous for — a base game that keeps paying while you wait for the bonus you get to choose.
The one-mechanic-per-title rule still applies. Donut Division owns the Gooey Gun wild-spray and the three-life Warehouse Bonus, neither of which is reused elsewhere. The studio operates under MGA and UKGC licences with RNG testing handled by independent labs.
What They Do Best
Row-Spraying Wilds
A Gooey Gun fires wilds across every position to its left, each carrying its own 1x-100x multiplier, and connected values add along the row. It is the engine behind Donut Division's 12,500x top end.
Hold-and-Win Warehouse
The Warehouse Bonus runs a three-life counter: blank spins burn lives, any reveal refills all three, and flashlights uncover Adding Multipliers, Multiplying Multipliers, Batteries and a Light-Switch.
Letting Players Choose
Three scatters open a menu rather than a fixed round. Picking Warehouse or Stakeout changes the shape of the bonus without changing the posted return — an unusually player-facing design decision.
A Softer Volatility Profile
Donut Division is rated 3/5, well below the studio's usual, which makes it the natural entry point into Hacksaw for anyone the 5/5 titles have burned.

Fairness & Licensing
BMM Testlabs certifies the RNG behind Donut Division. The same math model runs in demo and real-money modes, so the 96.30% return and the Gooey Gun multiplier spread match in both. What demo cannot show you is which of the four RTP builds a given casino has loaded.
Why Donut Division?
Donut Division is the entry point into Hacksaw for anyone who finds 5/5 slots exhausting. The Gooey Gun wild-spray is exclusive to this game, and the Warehouse Bonus with its three-life counter gives the round a rhythm you feel rather than just watch. At 3/5 with a 12,500x cap, it keeps the studio's multiplier DNA without the droughts.
