ABOUT
From the twisted minds at Hacksaw Gaming comes The Count, a gothic cartoon romp that puts a cheeky spin on the vampire trope. This isn’t the number-loving puppet from children's TV, it's a full-blown, multiplier-fueled monster of a slot.
The visuals channel vintage horror vibes with a black-and-white cartoon aesthetic, while The Count and his headless skeleton sidekick keep things lively beside the reels. It’s classic Hacksaw; charming, creepy, and surprisingly clever.
Betting Options and Bonus Features
Played on a 5x5 grid with 19 paylines, The Count serves up high volatility, a top-tier RTP of 96.36%, and a frighteningly good max win of 12,500x your stake. Low-paying symbols are J-A royals, while premiums include coffins, skulls, headstones, and spiders. Expect explosive moments when wild multipliers stack and collide, the kind that can turn an eerie spin into a monstrous payout. But it’s in the bonus features where The Count really bares his fangs, delivering high-stakes thrills and unpredictable twists worthy of his sinister stage.
Expanded Bloody Wilds
When a Blood symbol lands and expanding it results in a win, it transforms into a Bloody Wild. These can appear with multipliers from 2x to a fang-tastic 500x. If multiple Bloody Wilds with multipliers are part of a win, the values are combined before being applied.
Wild Bat Symbols
Bat Wilds fly in carrying their own additive multipliers ranging from 2x to 500x. If more than one Bat is part of a win, their multipliers are stacked before being added to the payout. Epic Wild Bats do one better, not only do they come with big multipliers, but they share their value with every Bloody Wild and Wild Bat on the grid.
Bat to the Bone Bonus
Triggered by 3 FS scatters, this round grants 10 free spins and boosts your odds of landing Wild Bats. It’s the lightest of the three bonus rounds, but no less lethal.
Rest in Pieces Bonus
Landing 4 FS scatters activates this bonus, also 10 spins, with an extra mechanic: a Symbol Counter. Each time a low pay symbol wins, a tracker fills. Once full, those symbols are turned into Wild Bats for the rest of the round.
Count on Blood (Hidden Epic Bonus)
Five scatters unlock the true horror: 10 Count on Blood spins, a super-volatile bonus where Epic Wild Bats are more likely to land, and 5 Wild Bats are guaranteed on every spin. It mixes the Symbol Counter from Rest in Pieces with multiplier mayhem.

Roshtein’s Take
Hacksaw has always had a flair for the dramatic, but The Count hits a sweet spot between aesthetic flair and mechanical depth. It’s not just a novelty, it’s a wild, weird, and surprisingly strategic experience. Those multipliers can escalate fast, especially in Count on Blood where five bats per spin can shred the reels with compounding madness.
Visually, it’s a flex, the 1930s cartoon horror style makes it stand out from the usual casino fare. Bonus hunters, volatility chasers, and animation lovers alike will find plenty to sink their teeth into.
In short? This Count isn’t here to teach you numbers, he’s here to multiply them.
