Dork Unit Review

After having had huge success with most of their recent “dark side” releases, Hacksaw goes back to their roots with a bright and colorful clown show installment. Dork Unit comes across almost like a TV show for kids that might have aired ages ago, but the decorated theater scene presentation did make a good impression on us at least.

The game revolves around 3 clowns, Tiny Timmy, Hefty Hector and Long Lenny, and different kinds of multiplier wilds play a central part in their show. You get 3 tiers of multiplier wilds in the base game, and these can also trigger a streak respins sticky wilds feature. The headliner is the Dork Spins bonus round though, where you may benefit from up to 3 sticky full-reel wilds with a clown multiplier that varies per spin.

Dork Unit Slot Features

The premium fruit symbols pay between 4 and 10 x your stake for 5 of a kind wins, and Gift Box Wilds step in for pay symbols to help complete wins. There are 3 kinds of Gift Box Wilds, and what varies is the multiplier range:

• Common Gift Box Wild - comes with multipliers of x2, x3 or x4.
• Rare Gift Box Wild - comes with multipliers of x5, x10 or x15.
• Epic Gift Box Wild - comes with multipliers of x25, x50, x75, x100, x150 or x200.

The Rare and Epic Gift Box Wilds only reveal the multiplier value when part of a win, while the common gift box wild will always show the multiplier when they appear. If more than one wild is part of the same win, the multipliers are combined for a larger boost. Landing a 5-oak win with gift box wilds only pays 10x your stake.

The Gift Bonanza feature triggers when you land 3 gift box wilds anywhere in view, and the triggering symbols become sticky.

You need 3 of the scatter clown, Lenny, in view to trigger the Dork Spins bonus round, and this gives you 10 free spins. Landing Lenny on one of the 3 middle reels during the feature turns that reel into a Wild Dork Reel for the duration of the bonus round. Only expanded clown wilds will land on Dork Wild Reels, and they come with character-specific multiplier ranges as follows:

• Tiny Timmy - comes with multipliers of x2, x3 or x4.
• Hefty Hector - comes with multipliers of x5, x10, x15 or x20.
• Long Lenny - comes with multipliers of x25, x50, x75, x100, x150 or x200.

Just to be clear, you get a new random clown multiplier wild per free spin on the Dork Reel(s), and multipliers combine if more than one wild is part of a win.

The Bonus Buy menu comes with several options in this game, and you can pay 3x your stake to get a guaranteed Gift Box Wild on the spin that follows (96.41 % RTP). The Gift Bonanza feature costs 100x your stake (96.38 % RTP), while the Dork Spins feature will set you back 200x your stake (RTP of 96.35 %).

Review Summary

Hacksaw has an interesting dualistic approach to their releases, as the themes are either on the bright and happy side, or dark and grim side, with no real gray area in between. The childish clown show presentation is kind of charming in Dork Unit, but the soundtrack came across as a tad annoying right off the bat. You can easily turn that off and keep the game sounds though, so it’s not really a huge deal.

The gift box multiplier wild system can land you solid base game wins, at least in theory, but you should expect plenty of dead spins in between. The Gift Bonanza twist on the regular hold-and-win style feature is actually quite enjoyable, as you get wild multipliers in abundance when you’re lucky. The bonus round with varying full-reel wild multipliers is not too shabby either, and the 10,000x potential is solid for a medium volatile release.

Pros

• 3-tiers of combining multiplier gift box wilds
• Gift Bonanza sticky wild streak respins
• FS w/ up to 3 varying wild reels in the middle
• Win up to 10,000x your stake

Cons

• Beware of adjustable RTP ranges

Zombie Carnival - revolves around a carnival run by zombies, and there is even a zombie bear that eats brain scatters to increase its multiplier and award extra spins in the bonus round. Mystery symbols appear in the base game and the bonus round, and you can win up to 5,000x your stake.

Rocket Reels - is a Pocketz Series Hacksaw release, and it comes with a 7x7 cluster pays grid with cascading wins.
