How to Play The Count

The Count is a slot game from Hacksaw played on a 5-reel grid, featuring 19 paylines. Players can place bets ranging from £0.10 to £4.00 per spin. Wins are achieved when matching symbols appear on adjacent reels from left to right, beginning with the leftmost reel. The paytable within the game reflects all possible payouts for symbol combinations at your chosen bet size.

The maximum possible win on The Count is 12,500 times your bet. If this is reached, the game round will end and your winnings will be credited; if achieved during a bonus feature, any remaining free spins or features are forfeited.

Paylines and Symbols

There are 19 fixed lines in The Count. Winnings are awarded only for the highest win on each line, with multiple line wins in a single spin added together. Only combinations starting from the first reel to the right qualify as wins.

The game features a variety of themed symbols. Full details of payouts can be found in the in-game paytable, which adjusts according to your bet amount.

Symbol	5 of a Kind	4 of a Kind	3 of a Kind
10, J, Q, K, A	1.80	0.90	0.36

Payout values are displayed based on your selected stake.

Special Symbols and Mechanics

• The Wild Bat and Epic Wild Bat can replace all other symbols in the paytable to help form winning combinations.
• FS, Wild Bat, and Epic Wild Bat symbols cannot appear above a Blood symbol on the same reel.

Expanded Bloody Wilds

Landing a Blood symbol that is part of a win transforms it into a Bloody Wild, expanding downward from the reel’s top to the Blood symbol’s position. Each position covered becomes wild. A reel can only display one Blood symbol at a time.

Bloody Wilds may function as regular Wilds or display a Multiplier—possible Multiplier values include: Wild, 2x, 3x, 4x, 5x, 6x, 7x, 8x, 9x, 10x, 25x, 50x, 100x, 500x. If more than one expanded Bloody Wild with Multipliers helps form a win, their values are summed and applied to the win.

Wild Bat Symbols

When a Wild Bat symbol lands, it may carry a Multiplier: Wild, 2x, 3x, 4x, 5x, 6x, 7x, 8x, 9x, 10x, 25x, 50x, 100x, or 500x. Multiple Wild Bat Multipliers involved in a win are combined. If both a Wild Bat and a Bloody Wild are present, their Multiplier values are added together before being applied.

The Epic Wild Bat symbol can also display any of these Multiplier values. Its Multiplier spreads to all expanded Bloody Wilds and other Wild Bat symbols on the grid. Only one Epic Wild Bat can appear per spin.
