Watch Out for Octo Attack Slot
Octopuses are basically underwater aliens with eight arms, three hearts, and more brains than your average bloke at the pub quiz. These slippery masterminds can squeeze through cracks smaller than your mobile screen, camouflage like they’re starring in a heist film, and open jars like they’re prepping snacks for Netflix night. And don’t even get me started on their beaks – hidden under all those squishy tentacles like a surprise horror show. If they ever figure out how to live on land, we’re all screwed. Imagine an army of smart, sneaky, multi-tasking squids running the world while we’re stuck still struggling to open jam jars.
Hacksaw appears to feel the same way with the release of its new slot Octo Attack. The slot replaces the replaces in alligator in the sewer alligator urban legend and the result is terrifying.
Welcome to the ocean depths
During gameplay, ink stains appear after a win, marking the positions of removed winning symbols, and remain until used by the Tenta-Grab mechanic or removed between base game spins. The Eye of Otto symbol triggers the Tenta-Grab mechanic when ink stains are present on the grid. The Tenta-Grab replaces itself and all ink-stained positions with one random symbol, which can be low, high, FS, wild, or wild multiplier.
Landing three or more FS symbols triggers the eighth arm is the charm feature, awarding free spins equal to the number of FS symbols. Ink stains are not removed between spins unless used by the Tenta-Grab mechanic, and every three FS symbols award one additional free spin.
Landing three or more epic FS symbols activates the give me eight feature, granting free spins equal to the number of epic FS symbols. Ink stains remain between spins, and the Tenta-Grab only grabs wild or wild multiplier symbols. Every three epic FS symbols award one additional free spin.
Is the Octo Attack slot one tentacle short of a great calamari dish?
The Octo Attack slot from Hacksaw offers a betting range from $0.10 to $35, with a maximum win potential of $350,000, thanks to a 10,000x multiplier. The game features medium volatility and an RTP of 96.27%.
Hacksaw does have a knack for creating something unique with a relatively straightforward premise. The Octo Attack slot fits that bill pretty nicely. The slot features a fun monochrome setting with small splashes of colour that really heighten moments of action. And while I wish there was more of it, the animations involving the octopus are pretty incredible. Like most Hacksaw games, the bonus features don’t disappoint and were well-themed. I give the Octo Attack slot a nine out of ten.
