Online-Slot Chief Editor Chris Taylor sat down with Marcus Cordes, CEO at Hacksaw Gaming. Located in Malta, Marcus has been with Hacksaw for over 5 years first as COO (3 years 7 months) and now CEO (1 year 10 months and counting).
The interview with Marcus looks at Hacksaw’s achievements since they launched, a look at 2023, their most popular games, Chaos Crew 2, sequels, why they opt for darker themes and what’s coming in 2024.
There are too many achievements to mention, but overall we’re all tremendously proud of the rate at which we’ve grown and the quality of the games we have produced, which we firmly believe are among the very best in the industry. Some of our flagship titles like Wanted Dead or a Wild and Chaos Crew have taken the industry by storm and stand as a testament to the quality of the people here.
2023 held high expectations having enjoyed a stellar 2022, and it has been another record-breaking year for us all at Hacksaw, marked by several top-shelf releases and award nominations. We aim to continue rising into 2024 and beyond.
That’s a tough one. Honestly, all our games perform exceptionally well and we’d hate to single any out, but we are especially proud of Chaos Crew 2 and Mayan Stackways which debuted our ground-breaking Stackways mechanic.
We poured our heart and soul into Chaos Crew 2 and had no doubt it would resonate with players, given the success of the original, and that has been proven true. It’s won rave reviews and found new casino fans across the globe and we’re super proud of it.
