Creepy dolls are proof that some toys were clearly designed by sleep-deprived psychopaths. With their dead fish eyes, cracked porcelain smiles, and a permanent expression like they’ve just watched you commit tax fraud, these pint-sized horror goblins lurk in attics, thrift stores, and your nan’s spare bedroom waiting for their moment to whisper Latin backwards at 3am. Honestly, if your kid brings one home, don’t wait for it to blink, just yeet it into the nearest bonfire and move house out of sheer principle.

While I wouldn’t have them in my house, there’s no denying that those demonic porcelain gremlins make fantastic horror fodder. It’s a sentiment Hacksaw clearly shares, judging by the absolute creepshow they’ve cooked up in their new Pray for Three slot.

Let’s play a game…

The Pray for Three slot from Hacksaw features 3,125 paylines spread across 5 reels. Betting starts at just $0.10, with a maximum limit of $25. If you’re betting at the upper limit, you could win up to $333,325, thanks to the 13,333x maximum multiplier. The slot has medium to high volatility, offering a balance between smaller frequent wins and the chance at larger payouts. The RTP is 96.33%.

Each winning combination struck on the Pray for Three slot will trigger cascading reels. This will remove any symbols involved in the combination from the reels, allowing new symbols drop down to fill the empty spaces. This mechanic allows for the possibility of multiple consecutive wins from a single spin.

A key feature of the game is the Wheel of Sin, located in the top right above the grid. You can activate it by landing either the Prayer Hand or Divine Prayer Hand symbols. The standard Prayer Hand shows a number from 1 to 3, determining how many sections of the wheel spin. The Divine Prayer Hand activates all three sections at once. The left section adds a multiplier of 2x, 3x, 4x, 5x, 10x, 25x, 50x, 100x, 200x, or 333x. The middle section either adds multipliers of the same values or multiplies existing multipliers by x2, x3, x4, x5, x10, x20, or x33. The right section strictly multiplies existing multipliers by the same range of values.

Landing 3 FS Scatter symbols on the same spin triggers the Wicked Ways Bonus, awarding 10 free spins. This round retains all base game features but increases the likelihood of both Prayer Hand variants and Wild symbols appearing. If you land 2 or 3 FS Scatters during the bonus, you receive 2 or 4 extra spins, respectively.

The Living on a Prayer Bonus activates when you land 4 FS Scatters on the same spin. It begins with 10 free spins, and like the Wicked Ways Bonus, retains the base game mechanics. However, regular Prayer Hands do not appear during this round, and Divine Prayer Hands are more likely to land. Additional spins can be won in the same manner as the previous bonus.

The Flames of Fortune Bonus is triggered by landing 5 FS Scatters on a single spin. This bonus round also awards 10 free spins and maintains the same mechanics as the Wicked Ways Bonus, but further increases the odds of landing Wilds and guarantees the appearance of a Divine Prayer Hand symbol on every spin. Extra spins are awarded the same way as in the other bonus rounds.

Is the Pray for Three slot worth the nightmares?

When they’re at their best, the Hacksaw team has a knack for creating weird, leftfield slot themes that elevate the gameplay beyond almost anything else out there. With the new Pray for Three slot, Hacksaw is at its best. The slot is a brilliant combination of the bizarre and the wacky, with a generous dose of humour. This is all complemented by a great selection of bonus features and gameplay that stays exciting thanks to incredible animation and sound effects. It’s a world-class showing from Hacksaw, and we’re here for it. I give Pray for Three a ten out of ten.
