Power of Ten

Power of Ten is an online slot developed by Hacksaw Gaming, released on April 16, 2026. The game takes a different direction from many of the studio's other titles, trading loud visuals and complex mechanics for a more refined, high-end casino atmosphere.

Power of Ten is played on a 5x5 gaming grid powered by a highly volatile math model, with 19 paylines evaluating winning combinations from the leftmost reel onwards. The central mechanic is built around Power Wheel symbols – special cash prize symbols that can appear on the reels and instantly award multiplied prizes, including the maximum win.

The game stands out for its multiple bonus modes and Feature Buy options, giving players a range of ways to approach the gameplay depending on their risk preference. The math profile runs on a default RTP of 96.23%, slightly above the market average, with high volatility delivering big win potential up to 10,000x the bet.

Power of Ten is set in a luxurious, dimly lit casino lounge. The backdrop features dark panelled walls, warm chandelier lighting, and a gold-framed reel grid that reinforces the high-end feel throughout.

The symbols are drawn from classic casino imagery – card suits (hearts, diamonds, clubs, spades), dice, poker chips, playing cards, gold crowns, and blue diamonds. All are rendered in a polished 3D style with clean animations. The Power Wheel symbols are visually distinct, designed to stand out the moment they land on the grid.

The audio is a standout – smooth, jazzy lounge music plays throughout, accompanied by the low murmur of an ambient atmosphere. This sets Power of Ten apart from the more aggressive sound design found in many high-volatility slots. The overall presentation is intentional and consistent, with every element reinforcing the game's upscale identity.

Power of Ten uses a standard 5x5 grid with 19 fixed paylines. Wins are formed by landing matching symbols on adjacent reels from left to right, starting from the leftmost reel.

To get started:

• Set your bet using the up and down arrows on the bet display. Bets range from 0.10 to 100.00 per spin.
• Spin by pressing the circular spin button, or use the spacebar on a keyboard.
• Autoplay is available if you want to run a set number of rounds automatically. Advanced autoplay settings allow you to set loss limits and single win limits.
• Turbo Play speeds up spin animations where available.
• The paytable and all game rules are accessible via the menu icon in the lower left.

Only the highest win per winning line is paid. Multiple wins across different lines in the same round are added together.

Power Wheels

Power Wheels are the primary feature and can appear in both the base game and all bonus rounds. When a Power Wheel lands, it stays inactive until all payline wins are resolved. It then spins and awards one of four cash prizes: 10x, 100x, 1,000x, or the MAX WIN.

• If multiple Power Wheels land at the same time, their values are added together, then multiplied by your bet.
• If five Power Wheels land on the same row, the possible prize values increase to 100x, 1,000x, or MAX WIN.
• If any Power Wheel reveals MAX WIN, the round ends immediately and the maximum win is awarded.

High-Roller FeatureSpins™

During this mode, only Power Arrow symbols can land on the reels. Power Arrows land in a fixed formation – five on reel 1, four on reel 2, three on reel 3, two on reel 4, and one on reel 5. If five Power Arrows align across the same row, the MAX WIN of 10,000x is instantly awarded. If a row is broken by an empty position, those arrows become inactive.

Bonus Buy Option: Yes – Cost: 1,000x bet

Bonus Game – Deck of Fortune

Bonus Game – Whopping Wheels

Triggered by landing 4 FS scatter symbols simultaneously. Awards 3 refilling lives, where each life represents a free spin. When a Power Wheel lands, it becomes sticky and stays in position for the rest of the bonus, and the lives counter is refilled. Regular payline wins are still awarded every spin. When all lives are used, all sticky Power Wheels activate together and pay their combined cash prizes. If the grid fills with Power Wheels, the bonus ends immediately and all prizes are awarded.

Bonus Buy Option: Yes – Cost: 200x bet

Hidden Epic Bonus – On the House

Triggered by landing 5 FS scatter symbols simultaneously. Awards 10 free spins with at least one Power Wheel guaranteed on every reel on every spin. Operates on the same mechanics as the Deck of Fortune bonus. Landing additional FS symbols adds extra spins in the same way.

Deal the Wheels FeatureSpins™

Bonus Buy Option: Yes – Cost: 250x bet

Wins are formed by matching symbols across any of the 19 fixed paylines, from left to right starting at reel 1. The Wild symbol substitutes for all regular paying symbols and can form its own winning combination.

Payouts below are shown as multiples of the total bet for the relevant number of matching symbols on a payline.

Wild: The Wild symbol substitutes for all regular symbols in the paytable. It does not substitute for Power Wheel or FS scatter symbols.

Power Wheel: Not a standard paying symbol – awards instant cash prizes of 10x, 100x, 1,000x, or MAX WIN when activated.

FS Scatter: Landing 3, 4, or 5 FS scatter symbols simultaneously triggers one of the three bonus rounds.

Wins are paid when matching symbols land on the same payline, reading from reel 1 to reel 5. A minimum of 3 matching symbols is required for most paying combinations, with 5-of-a-kind producing the highest payouts.

The biggest wins in this game come from Power Wheels rather than standard payline combinations. Key mechanics:

• Power Wheel prizes are paid as a direct multiple of your total bet, independent of payline wins.
• Multiple Power Wheels landing together see their values combined before being multiplied by the bet.
• Five Power Wheels on the same row increases the prize range significantly.
• High-Roller FeatureSpins offer a specific path to the MAX WIN by aligning five Power Arrow symbols across the same row.

All wins from paylines and Power Wheels in a single round are combined and paid as a total round win. Only the highest win per payline is paid.

Power of Ten does not currently have direct sequels or named variants. Players who enjoy its mechanics and aesthetic may find similar appeal in other Hacksaw Gaming titles built around Power Wheel or cash-prize mechanics, such as The Luxe, which shares a comparable high-end theme and approach to volatility. Hacksaw Gaming's broader catalogue of FeatureSpin-based slots also follows a similar structure in terms of bonus buy options and risk tiering.

Power of Ten is a focused, high-volatility slot built around one core mechanic – the Power Wheel. The game keeps things straightforward compared to many Hacksaw Gaming titles, but that simplicity is part of its appeal. The multiple bonus modes and tiered Feature Buy options give players genuine flexibility in how they approach the risk.

The base game can feel slow between features, and the premium Feature Buys carry a high cost. However, for players who prefer high-volatility gameplay with a clear path to large wins, Power of Ten delivers that in a polished, well-executed package. It suits experienced players comfortable with variance, particularly those drawn to cash-prize mechanics over traditional free spin rounds.
