Game Overview
It feels like Hacksaw Gaming is a slot developer that’s been around forever, but in reality, the company first burst on the scene just six years ago in 2018. Since then, the Swedish development company has released several bangers, especially in recent years with games like Wanted Dead or Alive and the RIP City slot. However, some of the developer’s earliest slots remain the most played, one of which was Stick’ em, featuring the birth of one of Hacksaw Gaming’s most iconic slot characters, Canny the Can. He has since gone on to star in Stack’ em, Canny the Can, Drop’ Em, and the Book of Time, and now in the developer’s latest release, Keep’ em. This slot carries a 96.27% RTP, has 6 reels and 5 rows, 15,625 ways to win, and a 10,000x the stake max win.
Canny the Can and his friend Bob the Bird cheer you on from the side of the reels as you attempt to reel in some wins, whether from symbol combinations or instant cash prizes of up to 1,000x the stake. You’ll collect the latter if you’re, first of all, lucky enough to land a Money symbol and, secondly, land a Get’ Em collect symbol at the same time. As for the main bonus game, there are three variations of a free spins bonus, the best of which guarantees three money symbols and a collect on every spin!
Whether you’ve followed the exploits of Canny the Can over the years, or are new to his adventures, I recommend you try out this slot via the Keep’ Em demo slot below. It’s free to play and will let you see what this slot has to offer.
Keep’ Em Slot Theme, Stakes, Pays & Symbols
Many slot developers like to create a series of slots or franchises around characters they’ve created, with some proving more successful than others. Some of the most well-known include Rich Wilde, who stars in some of the best Play’n Go slots; then, we have Gonzo Pizarro from NetEnt, who you can find strutting his stuff here on our platform over at Gonzo’s Quest Megaways demo where he’s trying to help you find a lost fortune. Other notable mentions go out to Reel Kingdom’s lucky fisherman, who you can join for a spot of lunch and fishing on our Big Bass Hold and Spin demo game, and finally, you can ride the high seas with Elk Studios and their pirate-themed parrots in our Pirots demo slot, which is hugely popular here on our site.
Most of you will probably know about those characters, but if not, make sure you check them out after today’s review. Right, back to today, and now we turn to the Keep ‘Em slot paytable, which, at first glance, does not seem to offer what I’d class as big payouts. The Bob the Bird symbol is worth the most, with 2x the stake payable when six line up on successive reels. The Skull is next and worth 1.2x, while a Lightning Strike and Snake Head both return up to 0.8x. The Ace, King, Queen, and Jack complete the pays section, all with equal returns of 0.5x the stake for a winning combo of six.
Hacksaw has implemented their usual betting structure to Keep’ Em, with players able to choose from a minimum stake of €0.10 up to a maximum of €100. There are over 25 options within this range, so regardless of budget size, there should be a comfortable entry point for all those wanting to spin the reels for real money.
Keep’ Em Slot Base Game & Modifiers
There are 15,625 ways to win across six reels and five rows on the Keep’ em slot, and you’ll scoop wins whenever three or more matching symbols land on consecutive reels beginning from the leftmost reel first.
Cash Collect
Money symbols with values of 1x, 2x, 3x, 4x, 5x, 10x, 25x, 50x, 100x, 250x, 500x, or 1,000x can appear in any position on the reels. However, you’ll only receive those instant cash prizes if a Get’ em symbol lands on the reels at the same time.
Keep’ Em Respins
The third and fourth reels are called the Keep’ Em reels, and whenever one of the Get’ Em, Free Spins, or Cash prize symbols lands on them, you trigger the Keep’ Em respins feature. The triggering symbol locks in place, and the remaining positions on all reels respin three times. Any additional instances of those symbols also lock during the respins, while there’s also a chance to land heart symbols, which award an extra respin.
Keep’ Em Slot Bonus Features
Why settle for a single free spins bonus when you can offer three variations of it? That’s the logic for Hacksaw Gaming on the Keep ‘Em slot. You’ll trigger one of the following bonus games depending on how many free spins symbols you land.
Keep’ Em Coming Free Spins
Three triggering scatter symbols give you the standard free spins bonus giving you 10 free spins. During this feature, there is an increased chance to land Get’ Em, Free Spins, and Cash prize symbols. You’ll also receive 4 and 6 additional free spins every time you land 3 or 4 free spins symbols, respectively.
Keep Your Friends Close Free Spins
If four scatters trigger the bonus, you also get 10 free spins. This time, however, money Symbols remain sticky on the reels until they’re collected by a Get’ Em symbol. Alternatively, they’ll collect automatically if they fill an entire reel.
Keep Your Canny Closer Free Spins
For five scatters, you again get 10 free spins and enjoy the benefits of the above two free spin bonus rounds. The difference this time is that three Money symbols and a single Get’ Em symbol are guaranteed to land on the next spin.
Bonus Buy
Those playing from a region that allows buy feature slots can choose from the following options.
- Bonus Hunt FeatureSpins: With this option activated, you’ll pay 3x your current bet to spin with five times the chance to trigger a bonus game.
- Cantastic FeatureSpins: For 40x, every spin is guaranteed to land at least one Money symbol and a Get’ Em symbol.
- Keep’ Em Comin’ Bonus Round: 100x buys you the standard free spins bonus game.
- Keep Your Friends Close Bonus Round: For 200x, you can purchase the Keep Your Friends Close Free Spins onus.
Pros
- Three variations of free spin bonuses.
- The presentation of the game is excellent.
Cons
- Regular payout values are low.
- variable RTP models are available for operators to use.
Keep' Em Slot Review Final Thoughts
Hacksaw Gaming has a knack for releasing slots that go on to become hits, which is probably the main reason the developer has enjoyed a rapid rise to the top of the slots space. I’m sure Keep’ Em is another that will go down well with most of you, but personally, it’s not one of my favourites from the Canny the Can series.
Good
