How the base game plays
The game uses 5 reels, 4 rows and 14 fixed paylines. Wins land through standard line combinations, not clusters or scatter pays, so the base rhythm is easy to read: line hit, symbol removal, then another drop if the spin continues. The low symbols are 10, J, Q, K and A, with five matching lows paying 1x stake. The higher pays are animal and dinosaur symbols, where five of a kind pays from 2.5x to 10x. Wilds substitute for paying symbols, and five wilds on a line pay 10x. On plain spins, the paytable is not generous enough to carry the game alone. It needs Burning Wild activity to stop the base game from feeling like a waiting room.
How the Burning Wild mechanic works
A Burning Wild can land in the base game and both bonus rounds. When it activates, it burns paying symbols and FS scatters on the same reel above its position. Burnt low symbols become regular wilds. Burnt high symbols become Burnt Wild Multipliers with values from 2x to 200x, and those multipliers apply to wins connected to them. If more than one multiplier wild is part of the same win, the values are added before the win is multiplied. This is the best idea in the game because it makes reel position matter. A Burning Wild low on the reel can affect more symbols above it, while a badly placed one may barely change the spin. That is a cleaner hook than just dropping random multiplier wilds anywhere.
The free spins round
There are two free spins rounds, and they are not equal. Three FS scatters trigger Grug Find Food, awarding 6 to 18 free spins based on the values shown on the triggering scatters. That round keeps the base rules but increases the chance of Burning Wilds. Extra FS scatters add 1 to 3 spins, while burnt FS scatters add 2 to 4. Four FS scatters trigger Grug Fight Dino, awarding 8 to 24 free spins. This is the round worth caring about. It keeps the Burning Wild setup, adds the Wildfire Bar and lets additional FS scatters award up to 5 extra spins. The first bonus is acceptable; the second is where the design actually has teeth.
How the Wildfire Bar feature works
The Wildfire Bar only appears in Grug Fight Dino. It fills when winning symbols are awarded, then resets after each level-up. Level 1 takes 12 winning symbols and awards 1 Burnt Reel. Level 2 takes 46 and awards 2. Level 3 takes 96 and awards 3. Level 4 takes 150 and awards 4 to 5 Burnt Reels, then stays active for the rest of the feature. Burnt Reels burn symbols across the reel, using the same transformations as Burning Wilds. If a Burnt Wild Multiplier is burned again, its current value is multiplied by 3x. That second burn is the nasty part.
Bet limits, Ante Bet and Bonus Buy
The published bet range converts to roughly CA$0.16 to CA$161 per spin. There is no separate Ante Bet in the usual sense; Hacksaw uses FeatureSpins and direct buys instead. BonusHunt FeatureSpins cost 5x stake and make a bonus 10 times more likely. Grug Play FeatureSpins cost 50x and guarantee at least 1 Burning Wild on the spin. The two direct buys are Grug Find Food at 100x and Grug Fight Dino at 200x. At the converted minimum stake, those direct buys cost about CA$16 and CA$32.

The upper bonus carries this release, and that is both the strength and the flaw. Burning Wilds are a good mechanic, especially when premium symbols turn into 2x to 200x multipliers, but the game becomes far more convincing once the Wildfire Bar starts adding Burnt Reels. The bad RTP floor hurts the recommendation hard. Players who need frequent small hits should skip it rather than forcing a slot built around escalation. Best for high-volatility Hacksaw regulars who check the paytable first and are mainly interested in the four-scatter bonus, not low-variance base-game grinding.
- Burning Wilds give the base game a clear positional mechanic instead of plain random multiplier drops.
- Burnt Wild Multipliers can reach 200x before the second-burn boost in the top bonus.
- Grug Fight Dino adds a real progression layer through the Wildfire Bar and Burnt Reels.
- Four buy options give players more control over whether they chase triggers or jump straight to a bonus.
- The reduced RTP builds below 90% are a serious red flag for any casino running them.
- Grug Find Food feels like the softer bonus, mostly adding more Burning Wild frequency without the full reel-burning system.
- The base game still leans heavily on one mechanic, so dry stretches can feel thin.

FAQ
It burns symbols above its position on the same reel. Low-paying symbols become regular wilds, while higher-paying symbols become Burnt Wild Multipliers. Those multiplier wilds can apply 2x to 200x to connected wins, so the symbol position matters more than it first appears.
Grug Fight Dino is the stronger round. Grug Find Food mainly gives more Burning Wild action, while the four-scatter round adds the Wildfire Bar and Burnt Reels. That extra progression system gives the bonus more ways to build beyond a basic free spins sequence.
It is the most complete buy, but not automatically the best one. The 200x option opens the full Grug Fight Dino round, while the 100x buy gives the lighter bonus. BonusHunt FeatureSpins are cheaper if you want more natural trigger chasing without paying for direct entry.
Check the in-game RTP first. The best public build sits in normal modern slot territory, but reduced versions have also been reported, including figures below 90%. That changes the value of the entire game, especially if you are buying features rather than spinning casually.
Hacksaw Gaming content already runs with Ontario-licensed casinos, but individual game availability still depends on each operator’s lobby after release. Alberta is moving to a regulated private iGaming model in 2026, with AGLC and Alberta iGaming Corporation involved, so players there should check legal operator catalogues after launch.
