Donut Division

Donut Division Review

Donut Division slot is an upcoming online game by the fresh and innovative developer Hacksaw Gaming. In this cartoonish story, the provider welcomes all the rookies from the Police Academy to join the coolest Detectives out there - Harry, Tom, Burt, and Roger, a.k.a. Chief.

They look a bit messy with long hair, epic mustaches, and bellies full of doughnuts, pizza, and other fast-food delicacies. But Hacksaw presents them as a force with a case-busting rate higher than the number of "sprinkles on a donut". From what we have seen so far, there is no reason for mistrust, so let's crack this game!

Donut Division comes in the provider's typical style with two characters next to the reels. It has elected Burt and Roger to guard the grid in the base game and explore the Warehouses, while Harry and Tom take the shift during the Stakeout bonuses. Yes, this slot offers two bonus rounds available in two modes each.

In addition, Donut Division game is packed with spreading wilds with multipliers and several Buy Bonus features. Hacksaw has used one of their favorite layouts and payout systems for this one - 6 reels, 5 rows, and 19 paylines. We have seen all that in some of the provider's latest releases, like Le Pharaoh and Duel At Dawn.

More innovation can be spotted in the bonus minigames, but that will come in a while. Players can use Turbo and Super Turbo tools to accelerate the gameplay and Autoplay to free their hands. However, given the game's relatively detailed betting range, the auto mode will be useless for strategy players.

Donut Division comes with several theme-related symbols to award generous line prizes. The low pays are donuts, walkie-talkies, light beacons, cones, and coffee cups, awarding 0.10x, 0.20x, 0.50x, and 1x the bet for 3 to 6 on an active line. The more attractive payouts come with our brave and always hungry detectives.

Harry can bring from 0.20x to 2x, Tom pays between 0.30x and 3x, while Burt and Chief can add up to 4x and 5x the stake to your account. The Gooey Guns spread wild symbols that substitute for all of the already mentioned ones and pay 5x the bet for 6 matches on a payline.

Donut Division provides 29 bet levels between €0.10 and €100 per spin, so plenty of betting schemes might work here. The RTP ranges and the ultimate rate is 96.30%, which matches perfectly the expected medium levels of volatility (3 out of 5). The alternative RTPs are 94.29%, 92.26%, and 88.24%, while the Hit Frequency remains around 24%.

Donut Division Features

Donut Division is packed with an inspiring max win of 12,500x the bet, which can be won via any of the bonus rounds. This potency isn't surprising, as it has become a standard for Hacksaw Gaming's slots. In terms of entertainment, the provider has added a couple of Free Spins modes and two more of a novelty Warehouse bonus.

Gooey Guns & Gooey Wilds

"Gooey is Good", according to the provider, as it has added Gooey Guns to the reels. They may land on any position and shoot Gooey Wilds to the left to cover all row positions. Moreover, these expanding symbols may carry multipliers that spread to all Gooey Wilds from the row, sum up, and the total value is applied to the respective line win.

Bonus Choice

Scatters activate the Bonus Choice feature and you will need 3 or 4 of them at the same time. Three Badges activate a selection between Warehouse and Stakeout bonuses, while 4 scatters allow you to pick Super Warehouse or Super Stakeout. The enhanced variants are packed with more significant and frequent prizes.

Warehouse & Super Warehouse

This is a Hold & Win type of a bonus minigame, although the only similarity is the 3 resetting lives (respins). Burt and Roger are in the Warehouse looking for stolen items and cash with their flashlights. There are several types of symbols, and each of them flashes a random position one after another.

Card boxes are empty symbols, and if any of them flashes such, he will lose a life, but if a special symbol is revealed, the Life counter is refilled back to 3. Each cash prize will be stored in a Total Multiplier pot on top of the board. Each spin comes with a different symbol configuration. Here is what you can find in the Warehouse:

• Adding Multipliers - 1x to 10x, 15x, 20x, 25x, 50x, and 100x the bet.
• Multiplying Multipliers - x2, x3, x4, x5, and x10.
• Battery Symbol - on reels 2 and 5, and rows 2, 3, and 4. It reveals a 3x3 area and activates all symbols in it.
• Light-Switch Symbol - turns on the light on the whole grid and activates all symbols.

When 3 Lives are exhausted, the bonus game will end, and the Total Multiplier pot will be instantly awarded. If you select the Super Warehouse bonus, the Adding Multiplier values start from 5x. These are the most common special symbols, as you'll quickly find out, so this boost will have a significant effect on the final score.

Stakeout & Super Stakeout

Harry and Tom are assigned to help you with the Stakeout bonus if you select it from the Bonus Choice screen. The minigame utilizes the base game mechanics but comes with an increased chance of landing Gooey Guns and higher multipliers. The game starts with 10 free spins and 2 or 3 scatters add +2 and +4, respectively.

Super Stakeout is an enhanced version of the standard mode but with a very important addition. Whenever a Gooey Gun lands on the reels for the first time, it is guaranteed that at least one will land on the same row, on a random position, on every one of the remaining free spins!

Theme & Graphics

Donut Division comes in a cartoonish style like that taken out of a comic book, an approach often used by Hacksaw Gaming. The quality of graphics is high, just like the audio and animation effects. Moreover, the Detective theme is implemented in a funny way and creates a playful atmosphere that most of the average gamblers out there will appreciate.

Donut Division takes place in an imaginary town where thieves and criminals are too many. The sugary squad is doing its best and sniffs out crooks on a regular basis, but it needs your help.

Pros And Cons Of Donut Division Slot

Our Verdict

Donut Division looks like another masterpiece in Hacksaw Gaming's repertoire! It comes with a rich bag of features and while we have seen some of them, others come in enhanced packs or as brand new innovations. Furthermore, the donut-y maximum win of 12,500x is good enough for every slot enthusiast to take this cartoonish adventure seriously.

The idea of adding Super modes of the features bonus minigames isn't new for the provider, but the Warehouse rounds look terrific. It's a brand new way to present the classic Hold & Win, and the best part is that there is plenty of space for further development. Being familiar with the studio's hustle and ambition, I can't wait to see what else will come on the market!

Another concept is the Gooey Guns and Wilds, which was tested by Hacksaw in the beginning of 2024. The analogy can be found with the Wild Laser Cat symbols in Beam Boys, but the added multipliers are quite significant. If you like spreading wilds, I can also suggest checking NoLimit City, although the provider doesn't have exactly the same feature.

All in all, Donut Division Hacksaw Gaming stands well in a mighty company and will certainly tempt fans of action-packed yet light-hearted slots. The balanced betting range and medium volatility are also highlights, especially if you mix them with the highest RTP rate. So, get your donut on the go, and join Chief's ranks against those pesky criminals!
