Donny Dough is a brand-new slot release from Hacksaw Gaming, available July 2024. He is a new iconic character, and a wealthy one at that, judging by his dollar sign eyes and suit that screams opulence. Donny is the main character in a game show-style set complete with draped curtains, stage lighting, and playing cards projected in the background.
About Donny Dough
The slot is played on 5 reels with up to 14 paylines. It’s available on desktop and mobile devices from 10p to £100 per spin. In terms of volatility, it is classified as medium variance with an RTP of 96.23% and the max win capped at 10,000x the bet.
The reels sit in the middle of the screen, with two sweeping staircases on either side and playing cards visible on the walls.
There are 12 symbols in total; the low-paying symbols are the card suits. The top 5 payers are the Coin stacks, Dollar bill stacks, purses filled with coins, safes and rubies. The rubies are the most valuable, 5 on a payline awards 10x. Donny’s hat is the scatter and a Multi Dough symbol.
Gameplay and Features
Donny Dough includes the new Lootlines mechanic, a Strike Gold bonus and a Sticky Dough bonus.
The Multi Dough symbols feature Donny’s head. There are four Multi Dough symbols, each with a specific value:
Adding – worth 1x to 10x
Revealing – Worth 15x to 500x
Multiplying – Worth x2 to x5
Revealing Multiplying – Worth x6 to x25
The Revealing symbols start with a question mark before the value is revealed. If you land a winning payline of Multi Dough symbols, your win is calculated by the Multi Dough symbols values, and these are applied from left to right. If the Multiplying multipliers are first on the payline, they are treated as adding multipliers.
Landing 3 Scatters on a spin awards 10 free spins. During the free spins, the Multi Dough symbols remain sticky. If they become part of a winning payline, they are removed for the following spin. Landing another 2 or 3 Scatters awards 2 to 4 additional free spins. The free spins can be purchased for 90x your current bet.
The Strike Gold bonus triggers with 4 Scatters on a spin and awards 10 free spins. Light bulbs are above each reel, and if you land a payline full of Multi Dough symbols, one light bulb above the reels involved in the win lights up.
If Donny’s hat appears on the grid and light bulbs are lit, a respin is awarded. During the respin, Multi Dough symbols are placed on the reels, and the number of Multi Dough symbols added corresponds with the number of lit bulbs. On the last spin, Donny’s hat is guaranteed. Another 2 or 3 Scatters landing awards another 2 to 4 additional spins. You can buy into the feature for 200x the current bet.
Conclusion
At first glance, you would be forgiven for thinking Donny Dough is a cartoon-style, cutesy type slot and a tad immature, but It is far from that! If you are familiar with Hacksaw Gaming slots, you’ll know that what lies beneath the graphics is a powerhouse of innovative features, and Donny Dough is a fine example of this.
The introduction of Lootlines and a couple of bonus rounds is a real treat and has the potential to pay out 10,000x the bet. Hacksaw Gaming has once again created a superb slot with plenty of action and moolah to be won if you put the work in!
