Hacksaw Gaming
The studio behind Eternal Duel
Their design choices show in the Eternal Duel RTP and volatility analysis.
Company History
Hacksaw Gaming was founded in Sliema, Malta in 2018 by a team out of NetEnt and Leander Games, Swedish roots and all. The first products were scratch cards; the 2020 move into video slots is what turned the studio into a fixture on casino lobbies.
Eternal Duel is a 2026 release that takes the studio's DuelReels format and hands it the oldest rivalry in mythology — Hades against Zeus. Where the frontier DuelReels game stages a shootout, this one stages a god-war, with each deity carrying its own multiplier into the fight.
The one-mechanic-per-title discipline holds: the Multiplier Duelists and the tiered god-war bonus belong to Eternal Duel and nothing else. The studio works under MGA and UKGC licences with RNG testing from independent labs.
What They Do Best
Dueling Multipliers
Eternal Duel runs two reel sets whose Multiplier Duelists carry separate values that combine during free spins — Hades and Zeus each bring a number to the table.
Tiered God-War
The bonus climbs through Hades Havoc, Zeus Fury, and Eternal Destruction, giving a single session real forward progression rather than one flat round.
DuelReels Lineage
The DuelReels format is a genuine Hacksaw original, reworked here for mythology instead of reused wholesale from an earlier title.
Mobile-First Build
The 5×4 grid and the split-screen duel were laid out for portrait phone play from the start.

Fairness & Licensing
BMM Testlabs certifies the RNG in Eternal Duel, and the 96.42% return is published in the game's info panel. Demo and real-money play run one math model, so the Duelist multiplier odds match in both.
Why Eternal Duel?
Eternal Duel takes the DuelReels idea and pushes it into a two-god war where Hades and Zeus each carry a multiplier that fuses in free spins. The Multiplier Duelists and the three-tier bonus climb — Hades Havoc into Zeus Fury into Eternal Destruction — are unique to this slot. At 5/5 with a 15,000x cap, it delivers Hacksaw's high variance with more structured progression than most of the catalogue.
