Key Takeaways

  • Danny Dollar accepts bets of up to $100
  • Dollar Reels can award multipliers of up to 200x
  • The slot is highly volatile

Hacksaw Gaming released Danny Dollar, the second instalment in its Cash Kings series, following mid-2024’s Donny Dough. While sharing thematic elements—both characters have dollar signs for eyes—the new slot diverges mechanically, introducing expanded wilds with multipliers, nudge symbols, and two bonus rounds.

Danny Dollar ups the ante with a maximum payout potential of 12,500x the bet, a 25% increase over its predecessor. While it falls short of Donny Dough’s novelty, it taps into Hacksaw Gaming’s reliably entertaining and formulaic mechanics. The slot targets high-win potential players over groundbreaking innovation.

Theatrical Flair

Danny Dollar leans into its protagonist’s flamboyant persona, casting him as a money-obsessed ringmaster. He flanks the 5x5 grid within a curtained, stage-like arena. Mirroring his brother Donny’s dollar-sign eyes and over-the-top charisma, Danny’s design channels 1930s animated cartoons, delivering a mix of humor and retro aesthetic.

The Hacksaw Gaming title triggers symbol wins with 19 fixed paylines accepting bets from $0.10 to $100. The pay symbols include shiny poker cards (10-Ace), coins, banknotes, dough-themed hats and drums, and oversized gems. Five-of-a-kind royal cards yield up to 2x the bet, while premium symbols deliver 5x to 10x payouts. Wilds appear on all reels, substituting to complete paylines and awarding 10x for a combination of five.

Dynamic Feature Mechanics

This  highly volatile slot rides on gameplay innovations that are big hits in Hacksaw Gaming’s portfolio. Dollar Reels trigger when a Danny symbol comes into view, expanding vertically into a Wild Dollar Reel if it contributes to a winning combo. The icon only extends to the top edge, and unexpanded symbols act as single wilds. Notably, overlapping Dollar Reels with existing wilds activates multipliers from 2x to 200x, applied to wins collected with the expanded icon. Nudge Symbols activate after Dollar Reels expand, shifting them downward by one row. This tactic allows players to reposition multipliers or extend winning sequences.

Free Spin Rounds

Danny Dollar’s Dollar Dash activates with three scatters, granting ten free spins. The bonus is governed by Reel Indicators, markers that indicate positions Danny symbols last landed and activated. Low-value symbols reset these markers, while additional scatters add up to four free spins.

The high-stakes No Bills, No Thrills round (triggered by four scatters) also delivers ten free spins. It introduces a Progressive Global Multiplier, aggregating all Dollar-Reel multipliers into a collective boost for cascading wins.
