Introduction to Dork Unit
Hacksaw Gaming's slot games are always a blast, so let's review Dork Unit—the company's innovative design bringing something fresh to video slots. Dork Unit is loosely themed around a clown character called Lenny. Hacksaw is one of a growing number of game developers that have bought into popular film franchises. Blueprint Gaming, for example, has developed a Goonies slot game. Hacksaw, however, has not yet made this leap. They are happy to create unique video slots. Dork Unit has 5 reels and 16 fixed pay lines. The minimum bet is $0.10, and the maximum is $100. The game features 10 regular symbols: Strawberry, Apple, Carrot, Lemon, Cherries, and the top 5 playing cards. Three gift box symbols appear on reels 1 through 5, and a Dork Spins symbol—Lenny, the clown.
Symbols and Payouts. Hit three to five of the 10, J, Q, K, and A face card values for the low-wins worth 0.1x to 2x the stake. Then, at least three Cherries, Lemons, Carrots, Apples, and Strawberries will give out high-ranking payouts of 0.5x - 10x the current bet. Three types of Gift Boxes can replace all rewarding symbols on the reels. Additionally, these Boxes pay 10x the total stake when you land five of each. Lenny represents the scatter symbol that can land in any base game position to activate a bonus game.
Gift Box Wild Multiplier Symbol. The special gift box symbols act as wild multipliers and provide varying multipliers depending on the type of gift box. Payout is multiplied by 2x, 3x, or 4x for the Standard Gift Box. Payout is multiplied by 5x, 10x, 15x, or 20x for the Rare Gift Box. Payout is multiplied by 25x, 50x, 75x, 100x, 150x, or 200x for the Epic Gift Box. If multiple gift boxes are part of a winning pay line, multipliers are added together before being applied to the payout amount.
Gift Bonanza and Sticky Wilds. Landing 3 gift boxes in one reel spin trigger a unique Gift Bonanza feature. The gift boxes starting this special feature turn sticky, and the player is awarded three spins. Any additional gift boxes landed during the Gift Bonanza phase also turn sticky, resetting the free spins to three and actively keeping the Gift Bonanza features. Winning pay lines during Gift Bonanza are paid out after each spin, and once the three reels have been exhausted without landing additional gift boxes, the Gift Bonanza bonus round ends.
Dork Spins. Dorky clown Lenny acts as a scatter symbol in the game, and landing three scatters during a spin awards ten free spins. During these "Dork Spins," if Lenny lands on reels two, three, or four, he transforms that entire reel into a "Dork Reel" for the remainder of the bonus round. The multipliers available on these Dork Reels are Tiny Timmy (2x-4x), Hefty Hector (5x-20x), and Long Lenny (25x-200x).
Bonus Buy. Dork Unit's Bonus Buy mechanic offers three different bonus features, each of which can be purchased for a multiplied bet amount. Features Pins guarantee that a feature box will appear on the next spin. The feature boxes can be used to claim extra coins and prizes. Gift Bonanza mode awards players with a gift every time they get three identical symbols in a row. Alternatively, Dork Spins mode triggers ten free spins with additional wild symbols frequently appearing during gameplay.
Strategy for Dork Unit
Dork Unit can be played for $0.10 to $100 a spin on any device. Hitting a five-of-a-kind pays 1x the wager for low pay and 10x for high pay. The bonus round is the most lucrative due to multipliers up to 200x. You can buy into it, but more often than not, you won't get your investment back. Or, if you're impatient, you can drop your bet per spin to the lowest amount, get those scatters, and watch Lenny open a box!
Summary
Dork Unit is a surprisingly bashful game from Hacksaw Gaming. The game has a charming innocence about it, and, being from the studio behind horror games, this seems a little out of place for them. Yet, it does provide players with a mental refresh before they get back to creating something dark and foreboding to spook their players.
