Stick 'Em (Hacksaw Gaming) RTP review: 96.10% (configurable)
What 96.10% RTP means on Stick 'Em
Stick 'Em carries a published RTP of 96.10%, a theoretical house edge of roughly 3.9% over the long run. Because Hacksaw Gaming ships this game in multiple RTP builds, that edge only holds where a casino licenses the top version; a lower build quietly raises the edge against you, which is exactly why we flag configurable titles instead of quoting the headline unqualified. As always, RTP is a long-run average over millions of spins, not a per-session promise: the edge is real and permanent, and a high RTP never turns a slot into a reliable source of income.
Volatility, max win & features
Volatility is rated medium (3/5). That sits mid-range — neither a relentless grinder nor a feast-or-famine title. The top prize is capped at 2,048x your stake, and the headline features are sticky win spin respins, bonus wheel up to 1,000x, free spins.
What to know before you play Stick 'Em
- Check the RTP build. Hacksaw Gaming licenses Stick 'Em at 96.10% — open the in-game "i" screen and confirm you're on 96.10% before you commit a bankroll.
- Mid-variance. Expect a mix of small wins and longer gaps; the 2,048x max sits behind the bonus round.
- High RTP is not profit. 96.10% still leaves a 3.9% long-run house edge; it lowers the cost of play, it never flips the odds in your favour.

Our verdict on Stick 'Em
Skip if: your casino only offers a lower-RTP build of this game
Stick 'Em is a deliberately light, casual Hacksaw title on a 5x4 / 1,024-ways grid: landing three thumbs-up symbols triggers a Sticky Win Spin where they lock and the reels respin as long as more thumbs appear, with a bonus wheel paying up to 1,000x. Sources differ — Big Win Board reviews it at 96.10% medium volatility, while some databases list a 96.33% build and even a 5x3 layout, so the exact figure and grid depend on the operator's version and should be checked in-game. The ceiling is a modest 2,048x, low by Hacksaw standards, reflecting its breezy design and ~23% hit rate. It suits players who want a relaxed, low-stakes session rather than big-win hunting; there is no feature buy, so it plays the same in the UK.
