Our Review
Dice by Hacksaw Gaming brings the studio’s polished, modern touch to the classic slider dice format.
Hacksaw is best known for its slick, high-production slots and scratchcards, and its Dice game keeps that clean design language while running at a 98 percent RTP. It uses a simple over/under slider with targets from 2 to 98, and it comes with a free demo.
The one thing to know upfront is that its maximum win is modest, which makes it a lower-volatility option than the big-ceiling originals. Let’s get into it.

Gameplay experience and features
The game keeps things beautifully simple. You move the slider along a 0 to 100 line to set your target, then press bet. A random number between 0 and 100 is drawn and shown on the line by the die indicator, and you win if it lands on the correct side of your target.
Your target can sit anywhere from a minimum of 2 up to a maximum of 98, and you cannot set a target that would produce a payout multiplier below 1.05x.
Win chance is fully adjustable within that band, and the multiplier follows a formula of 0.98 divided by your win chance, which is how the 98 percent RTP is applied.
A deliberately modest ceiling
Because the target is capped at 2 to 98, the win chance never drops below roughly 2 percent, so the maximum win works out to around 49x.
That is a deliberately modest ceiling, which makes this a lower-volatility, grind-friendly dice game rather than a jackpot chaser.
For comparison:
- Dice by Stake Originals and Dice by Thrill Originals run 99 percent RTP and reach 9,900x, with Dice by BC Originals just behind at 98 percent.
- Dice by Spribe sits at 97 percent with a 970x ceiling.
- Dice Twice by Turbo Games runs 97.5 percent, capped even lower at x32.5.
At 98 percent, Hacksaw’s RTP lands in the upper-middle of the pack, above Spribe and Turbo but a step below the 99 percent originals.
Fairness comes from Hacksaw’s certified, audited RNG rather than a crypto-style provably fair seed system, so there is no per-round seed for you to verify yourself.
Desktop version
On desktop, Dice by Hacksaw Gaming carries the studio’s signature polish.
Hacksaw has a strong reputation for clean, characterful design, and the Dice interface is sharp and easy to read, with the slider front and center and the bet controls clearly placed.
It looks more contemporary than dated rivals like Spribe, and the presentation feels professional throughout. Inputs are responsive and rolls settle quickly.
There are no bonus mechanics layered on top. This is a focused, straightforward dice game that leans on clean execution rather than extra features.
Leaderboard and statistics
This is a lighter area. Unlike the crypto originals from Stake and BC, Hacksaw’s Dice does not build its experience around public Big Win and Lucky Win leaderboards, so you miss that live, competitive community feel.
You get a standard bet history to follow your recent rounds, which is enough for casual tracking but not the deep, session-focused analytics that Stake’s stats tab provides. For data-driven players, this is a modest step down from the market leaders.
Mobile version
As a modern HTML5 title, Dice by Hacksaw Gaming runs smoothly on mobile. The slider scales cleanly to touch, buttons remain easy to tap, and the game loads quickly on both iOS and Android.
The free demo carries over to mobile, so you can practice the over/under flow before betting real money.
Performance stayed stable throughout testing, with no lag or layout issues.
It is a clean, reliable mobile experience that keeps full feature parity with desktop.
Gameplay options
Manual mode
Manual play is as simple as it gets.
Drag the slider to your target, choose your side of the line, and press bet. Because the game resolves instantly, sessions move quickly, and the clear multiplier and win-chance readout make it easy to pick your risk level.
Built for steady play
With the target capped at 2 to 98, you are naturally steered toward steadier, lower-variance play rather than extreme long shots.
Auto mode
Auto mode covers the essentials well. You can set your bet amount and a number of automatic rounds, then let the game run hands-free.
The controls include:
- A loss limit to stop the session once losses reach a set amount
- A single win limit to stop when a win hits a chosen size
That is enough to automate measured strategies like Martingale or other dice strategies, though the modest 49x ceiling naturally limits how far aggressive systems can run.
It is functional automation, if not quite as deep as Stake’s conditional tools.
