Hacksaw Gaming
The studio behind Chaos Crew 3
Their high-variance style is clearest in the Chaos Crew 3 bonus modes, none of which run a fixed spin count.
Company History
Hacksaw Gaming set up in Sliema, Malta in 2018, built by NetEnt and Leander Games alumni who carried Swedish studio habits into an independent label. Scratch cards paid the bills first; slots arrived in 2020 and became the identity.
The Chaos Crew line is the through-thread of that identity. The original capped at 10,000x, Chaos Crew 2 pushed it to 20,000x, and Chaos Crew 3 arrived in September 2025 at 30,000x — the biggest ceiling the series has carried, bought with a slightly lower 96.18% return.
The studio's habit is one signature idea per title. Here it is the life meter: no bonus mode in Chaos Crew 3 runs a fixed spin count, and every Crazy Multiplier that lands resets the meter to three. MGA and UKGC licences plus independent RNG audits sit behind all of it.
What They Do Best
Franchise Building
Few studios revisit a world three times. The Chaos Crew arc, capped by Chaos Crew 3, shows Hacksaw iterating on a theme rather than dropping it.
One Mechanic Per Title
The Reel Multiplier board, the four Crazy Multiplier symbols and the Chaos Upgrade belong to Chaos Crew 3. Hacksaw does not recycle an engine between releases.
Rounds Without a Spin Counter
All three bonus modes run on three refilling lives instead of a fixed number of spins, so the length of a round is part of the variance rather than a known quantity.
Mobile-First Layout
The 5×5 grid and neon UI were drawn for a portrait phone screen before desktop was considered.

Fairness & Licensing
The RNG behind Chaos Crew 3 is independently audited, and the audit covers demo and real-money play alike. What does vary is the build an operator loads — 96.18%, 94.17%, 92.27% or 86.19% — and that is listed in the game rules panel.
Why Chaos Crew 3?
Chaos Crew 3 is the high-water mark of Hacksaw's longest-running series. The four Crazy Multiplier symbols and the Chaos Upgrade belong to this title alone, and three lives-based modes give the 30,000x cap three different routes home.
