Theme: discover treasures in murky waters

With a Greek mythology theme, the Beast Below slot takes you below murky waters as you aim to discover lost treasures. Based on sea sirens who are evil creatures who live in the sea, they  are known to sing enchanting songs to lure sailors to their death.

The visuals are top-notch are quite eerie/sinister but the soundtrack is calm yet intense. With the reels set underwater, you’ll see a boat floating on the choppy waters in between the rocky shores. Not as scary as Bloodthirst, it looks a little like Cursed Seas stylistically.

On the reels, there are A, K, Q, J and 10 royals as well as 5 different, scary-looking fish. All boasting huge and sharp teeth, the anglerfish is the best-paying symbol. The Anglerfish pays  1.5, 5 or 10 x bet for 3, 4 or 5 across any payline.

Then you have an Anchor Wild symbol which substitutes for all paying symbols above. 5 wilds in combination will award a 20 x bet payout. Other symbols include 2 Siren Wilds, an Octopus Free Spins Scatter and Diver Wild. More details on these special symbols appear below.

Beast Below Bonus Features

The Beast Below slot benefits has 4 bonus features. Yellow Siren Wilds expand and contain multiplier values up to 200x. Multiple Sirens will see multiplier values added together. There are 2 free spins features which offer more Yellow Siren Wilds as well as Pink Siren Wilds that nudge until they disappear from the reel. Both have multipliers. In the Down Below Bonus feature, the Diver symbol expands, has a multiplier up to 200x and can move to an adjacent position until it runs out of oxygen.

Expanding Sirens feature

Look out for 2 Siren Wild symbols which expand upwards to the top of the reel if the expanded symbol would be part of a winning combination. Every expanded Siren Wild will display a multiplier value that applies to the win it’s part of.

In the base game, only Yellow Siren Wilds appear. Multiplier values range between 2x and 200x. If you get a win with multiple Siren Wilds, the multiplier values are added together and then applied to the win. Only 1 Siren Wild can appear on each reel in the same spin.

The Sirens’ Call Bonus feature

The Sirens’ Call Bonus feature is triggered when 3 Octopus Free Spins Scatter symbols appear simultaneously on a base game spin. 10 free spins will be awarded. You’ll benefit from more Siren symbols landing compared to the base game.

Unlike the base game, the Pink Siren symbol can land. The Pink Siren stays on the reel when expanded but will nudge 1 row upwards on each subsequent free spin. Importantly, the Pink Siren will contain a multiplier between 2x and 200x. Landing 2 or 3 scatters will reward you with 2 or 4 extra free spins respectively.

Down Below Bonus feature

If you land 4 Octopus Free Spins Scatters in the base game, the Down Below Bonus feature will be activated. Again, 10 free spins will be awarded.

During the feature, an expanding Diver symbol will appear. When it does, the Diver symbol expands to give you a full Diver reel. Divers are wild multipliers that remain in play for a limited number of free spins once they’ve expanded.

Additionally, every expanded Diver symbol begins with 3 Oxygen Charges. When a Diver’s oxygen reaches 0, it’s removed at the end of that free spin. The Diver can move to an adjacent reel by consuming 1 charge with the multiplier also updating.

Multiplier values range from 2x to 200x. If a win comprises of multiple Diver symbols, the multiplier values are added together and applied to the winning outcome. Up to 3 Diver symbols can appear at any 1 time. Like with the previous feature, 2 or 3 scatters will result in 2 or 4 additional free spins being awarded.

Bonus Buy feature

Outside the UK, the Beast Below slot comes with a Bonus Buy feature. Enabled by clicking/pressing the light blue ‘Buy Bonus’ button, you have 4 bonus buy options. The FeatureSpins options are per spin whilst the other 2 are in total.

Beast Below Review Summary: classic Hacksaw Gaming action focused on multipliers

Set below murky waters, the Beast Below slot fits into the Hacksaw Gaming portfolio quite nicely. Visually, the fish symbols are superbly presented each with razor-sharp teeth and a terrifying appearance. That said, the subdued yet intense soundtrack provides a nice contrast.

When it comes to the gameplay, wild multipliers feature in many Hacksaw Gaming slots. What they’ve done here is offer wild multipliers up to 200x but they are created in a slightly different way to other games. In the base game, look out for Yellow Siren Wilds which expand and give you a multiplier (up to 200x).

In The Sirens’ Call Bonus feature, you’ll benefit from the Pink Siren which also expands and has a multiplier up to 200x. It nudges upwards until it disappears from the reels. However, the Down Below Bonus feature sees the Diver symbol in play. The Diver expands and remains on the reels until the oxygen reaches 0. As above, multiplier values can reach 200x. The expanded Diver Wild can also move to another reel which could land a decent win.

In summary, the Beast Below slot offers another way to give you wild multipliers. With 10,000 x bet max wins up for grabs, it’s all down to how wild multipliers are created which will determine if you like this game or another from the Hacksaw Gaming portfolio. Temple of Torment is quite similar in many ways.
