The Brothers' take on Temple of Torment
Temple of Torment is Hacksaw's Egyptian-mythology slot from 2023, and the surprise is that it's actually a medium-volatility game. Hacksaw don't usually do medium — when they do, the maths gets approachable in a way the rest of their library isn't.
Five reels, four rows, 14 paylines, Egyptian crypt setting with scarabs, hieroglyphs, and pharaohs. The signature mechanic is the expanding scarab wild — scarabs can land on the reels and expand to fill the entire reel, carrying multiplier values up to 200× attached to them. Two free-spins modes use the scarabs differently: one stacks expanding scarabs across the bonus, the other adds wild multipliers that compound on each spin.
Default RTP is 96.20% with the usual Hacksaw lower tiers underneath (down to 88.22% in some markets). Volatility is medium — 27% hit rate, roughly one win every 3.7 spins, which is genuinely friendly compared to the 24% you'll find on Tasty Treats. Max win is 10,000× the stake. The maths works out to that cap landing roughly once in every 16.5 million spins, so it's genuinely a long-odds dream rather than a target.
The Brothers like Temple of Torment specifically because of the medium volatility. Most Hacksaw slots reward being patient through long dry spells — this one rewards just sitting and spinning. The scarab-wild mechanic adds the same kind of base-game pop that Tasty Treats's Bubble Boosters do, just with a tighter cap. If you've never tried Hacksaw before because you've heard their slots are punishing, this is the entry point.
What we like
- Medium volatility is rare for Hacksaw — friendlier hit cadence
- Expanding scarabs with up to 200× multipliers create real base-game payouts
- 10,000× cap is solid for a medium-vol slot
What we don't
- 10,000× cap reach is in millions-of-spins territory — pure dream maths
- Egyptian theme is well-trodden — visuals don't stand out
- 88.22% RTP version exists in some markets; check before you sit
The Hacksaw slot for players who don't usually like Hacksaw — medium-vol scarab maths and a cap that's ambitious but reachable in spirit.
