Company History

HGMT Ltd, the company behind Hacksaw Gaming, is registered in Zebbug, Malta and has held its MGA licence since December 2018. The studio's own catalogue now lists well over 180 slots alongside its scratchcards, instant-win titles and crash games.

Stormborn is one of the Norse entries in that catalogue: a 5x4, 14-line frame carrying a Coin-collect respin engine and five separate bonus rounds, four of which you choose between rather than being dropped into.

What They Do Best

Choice-driven bonuses

Three or four scatters in Stormborn open a menu instead of a fixed round — a short respin burst or a ten-spin sticky-Wild run, decided by you rather than the RNG.

Hidden top rounds

Hacksaw keeps a Hidden Epic Bonus behind the five-scatter combination in this title. It cannot be bought, only landed.

Layered buy menus

Two bonus buys and two FeatureSpins modes, each with its own published RTP, all configured within 0.03% of the base game.

Mobile-first builds

HTML5 titles drawn for a vertical phone screen first, with the bonus art streaming in without stalling the reels.

Fairness & Licensing

Hacksaw Gaming is licensed in Malta, Great Britain, Greece, Romania, Ontario, Sweden, Denmark and the Isle of Man, and those regulators set the testing requirements the game has to meet. The studio does not publish which lab certifies this particular title, nor its hit frequency or max-win odds. The same engine serves demo and cash play.

Why Stormborn?

Stormborn puts the decision in your hands at the point most slots take it away. Three scatters, four scatters — either way you pick between a short burst of guaranteed Thunder Respins and a ten-spin run of sticky Wilds, and Hacksaw prices both into the same 96.27%. The 15,000x cap applies in every one of them, base game included.
