Leatherheads

Leatherheads Review

Fans of unique titles are likely eagerly awaiting July 10, 2026, as that’s the day Leatherheads, a hot new slot from Kitsune Studios (known as a partner of Hacksaw Gaming), is set to launch. Here, you find yourself in the fire-ravaged city of Blazton, where a team of reckless firefighters risks their lives on a 6x5 grid featuring 19 betways, which is unusual in itself. We’re promised high volatility and a very decent RTP of 96.31%, which is above the market average. The maximum multiplier is x10,000. And unlike many other recent releases, you can hit the top payout even while playing the base game.

As in many other slots, the “left-to-right” rule applies when forming winning combinations. That is, just land 3 or more matching icons on adjacent reels along the paylines to win something. And remember that any sequence must start from the far-left reel. Otherwise, there will be no payout.

Players can wager from €0.10 to €100 per spin, making the game suitable for both beginners and high rollers. So if you’re lucky enough to hit the x10,000 multiplier at the maximum bet, the prize will be an intriguing €1 million.

Despite the firefighting theme, the classic card ranks are still present here. So you can create low-paying combos using 10s, Jacks, Queens, Kings, and, of course, Aces. The characters from the Blazton Fire Department are valued slightly higher. So landing six of them can earn you up to a 6x multiplier. Kitsune Studios promises plenty of impressive extras, which are tied to several versions of Wilds, Get Wets, and Scatters.

Leatherheads Features

The base game in this title is by no means the end of the story, even though the maximum prize can be won there. It features a well-designed, multi-tiered bonus system to keep you entertained. There are also plenty of bonus purchase options that won’t break the bank, so be sure not to miss those either.

Spreading Fire Hose

There are several Wild symbols here, and it is the Spreading Fire Hose Wild that triggers this feature. When you see it on the grid, it spreads in one of two directions depending on which way the hose nozzle is pointing. For example, if it points upward, copies of Wild fill the entire reel above its landing position up to the top edge of the field. The hose can also point to the left, in which case the special symbols spread across the entire row to the left edge. But for this spread to occur, the Wild must be part of a winning combination. And the trick is that each Spreading Wild carries a multiplier of x1 to x100 that applies to any combo it is part of. The extra multipliers from multiple such Wilds add up, thereby significantly increasing the winning potential. And remember the two restrictions: the Upward Spreading Fire Hose does not land on the first row, and the Left Spreading Fire Hose never appears on the far-left reel, respectively.

This Is Not A Drill Spins!

Lucky players who land at least 3 FS Scatters will be rewarded with 10 FS. Although all the principles and rules of the base game apply in this mode, the focus here shifts to the Spreading Fire Hose Wilds, as they can now land in positions on the grid that are more advantageous for you. And this is a re-triggerable bonus mode, since you can get +2 or even +4 extra FS by landing at least 2 or 3 more Scatters, respectively.

Put It Out Spins!

And here’s the star of the show, the most powerful bonus with the highest payout potential. You’ll have to work hard to trigger this mode, as it requires a whopping four FS Scatters. You’ll still only get 10 FS, but the game offers two special icons with truly unique abilities.

The first is the Sticky Fire Hose Wild, and its properties are clear from the name itself. That is, if it lands on the grid in this mode, it will remain there until the very end of the bonus. It receives a new random multiplier ranging from x1 to x100 with each new round.

But we also have Get Wet, and it doesn’t work like a regular Wild. This symbol can display a number ranging from 3 to 10, determining how many copies of Fire Hose Wilds you’ll receive from each Sticky Fire Hose Wild symbol available to you. So, for example, with 3 Sticky Wilds on the grid, you’ll benefit from 9 Copied Fire Hose Wilds. And the trick is that each such icon carries the same extra multiplier as its parent, the Sticky Wild. As you might expect, these copies appear in random cells. If two of them occupy the same position, their multipliers are added together. But remember that Copied Wild symbols are removed from the grid on the next try, just like the Get Wet symbol itself.

Bonus Buy Options

Usually, there’s only one option to buy the bonus, but Kitsune offers a total of 4 to choose from. The first one that catches your eye is the BonusHunt FeatureSpins, which costs 3x your bet. For that price, you get 5 times the chance of triggering the bonus. And if you want something guaranteed, try the Spread 'Em FeatureSpins, where you’ll get at least two Spreading Fire Hose Wilds for 50 times your base bet.

Now let’s move on to the most expensive options. The first is the This Is Not A Drill Spins option, which guarantees a bonus triggered by landing 3 Scatters. This will cost you 100 times your usual bet. But in return, the volatility will decrease slightly (though the RTP will still be 96.21%). And the top-tier bonus here costs 200x your bet, but it’s exactly the feature that boosts your chances of winning really big prizes.

Theme & Graphics

This title is about the fictional city of Blayston. It’s a place where the sirens never stop as the fires here never let up for a moment. So be ready for a comic-book art style with a mature twist, as the firefighter characters look almost lifelike. The level of detail here is truly impressive. You’ll likely enjoy the animations as well, especially those that accompany the launch of extras. It all looks very interesting and truly vibrant, yet still runs smoothly on mobile devices, so don’t miss the chance to enjoy Leatherheads on the go.

Leatherheads Free Play

The unusual names of the extras here hint at something truly special and unfamiliar to many. So it's a good idea to start with the Leatherheads free play version to get a better grasp of the rules before risking your bankroll. We already have access to the Leatherheads demo, where you use free credits instead of real money. Otherwise, everything works exactly the same as it will in the full-release slot. So don’t miss your chance to try Leatherheads, because you can do it right here on SlotCatalog.

Pros & Cons of the Leatherheads Slot

Our Verdict

If you realize that Leatherheads is one of those slots that doesn’t reveal its true potential in the first ten spins, you should give it a try. We tested it thoroughly and can confirm that the base game can be tedious and boring, so the high volatility is definitely there. But once we hit the ‘Put It Out Spins!’ bonus, it became clear what this game is all about.

Sticky Wild + Get Wet together is something special, and it works like a multiplier reactor, accumulating more and more sticky icons with every new spin. And just one lucky Get Wet with a number of 7-10, with 3-4 Sticky Wilds on the reels, can literally cover the entire playing area with Wild multipliers. But as always, the challenge lies in triggering these features, which is no easy feat. The Bonus Buy button immediately catches your eye. Given the potential, you’re tempted to buy the ‘Put It Out Spins!’ option. But it costs 200x your bet, so the risk isn’t always justified, and you should keep that in mind. It can’t be said that Leatherheads is a completely unique title of its kind, and it does indeed resemble Play ‘n Go’s Reactoonz-style titles a bit. Still, such intriguing releases are a rarity these days, so don’t miss the chance to try it out in demo mode on SlotCatalog.
