Wishbringer: Slot Overview
Get ready to give that lamp a rub—Wishbringer from Hacksaw Gaming invites players into a genie-themed adventure filled with magical vibes, exotic visuals, and the possibility of a few dreams coming true (in the form of cash wins, of course). But if your deepest wish is for a groundbreaking, genre-defying Hacksaw release, this one might leave you rubbing your eyes instead. Why? Because under the surface, Wishbringer is essentially a reskin of Beam Boys.
Visually, Wishbringer sticks pretty closely to classic genie slot tropes. You’ve got the floating blue genie, lantern-lit streets, and an unmistakable Arabian Nights aesthetic. While it’s a more traditional theme than Hacksaw usually leans into, it’s executed with polish. The vibe is unmistakably Aladdin-esque, with a rich, ambient soundtrack helping to round out the mystical atmosphere. It’s familiar, maybe even a little too familiar, but it gets the job done.
Reels, Ways to Win & Symbols
While Hacksaw Gaming usually leans toward payline-based slots, Wishbringer takes a different approach, offering 4,096 ways to win across a 6×4 reel layout. The game runs on a medium volatility math model and is available in four RTP configurations, with the highest reaching 96.33%. Unlike Beam Boys, which gave players a choice between Normal and Extreme modes, Wishbringer sticks to a single volatility setting—no toggling here.
Betting options range from €/$0.10 to €/$100, and several bonus buy options are available for players who want to dive straight into the action.
Symbols & Payouts
The paytable draws from the slot’s Arabian theme:
-
Low-paying symbols: Card ranks 10 to A, stylized with an Arabian flair
-
High-paying symbols: A jeweled necklace, pile of gold, crossed swords, and two characters—a male and a female
Winning combinations of six-of-a-kind pay:
-
0.5x the bet for all royal symbols
-
Between 0.8x and 2x the stake for premium symbols
Wishbringer: Features
For a Hacksaw Gaming slot, Wishbringer keeps things relatively simple on the feature front. The game revolves around Wild Genie Rows, the Arabian Nights Bonus Game, and a selection of feature buys to ramp up the action.
Wild Cloud Rows
Genie symbols can appear on all reels except the first. When one lands, the Genie blows clouds to the left across its row, turning all affected positions—including itself—into wilds.
-
All Genie and Cloud-covered positions become wild, substituting for any pay symbol
-
A full 6-wild win pays 5x the bet
This mechanic can create wide-reaching wild rows that boost hit potential significantly.
Arabian Nights Bonus Game
Trigger the bonus game by landing 3 to 6 FS scatter symbols in the base game, which awards:
-
3 scatters – 5 free spins
-
4 scatters – 10 free spins
-
5 scatters – 20 free spins
-
6 scatters – 40 free spins
The Arabian Nights bonus game uses the same core mechanics as the base game but with an increased chance of Genie symbols appearing.
During the feature:
-
Landing 2 scatters adds +2 spins
-
Landing 3 scatters adds +4 spins
Bonus Buy Options
From the bonus buy menu, players can access several FeatureSpins modes:
-
BonusHunt FeatureSpins – Costs 5x the bet and increases the chance of triggering free spins by 10x
-
Genie’s Wish FeatureSpins – For 50x the bet, guarantees at least 1 Genie symbol on reels 2–6
-
Genie’s Magic FeatureSpins – For 200x the bet, guarantees at least 1 Genie symbol on reels 4–6
-
Arabian Nights Bonus Game – Buy direct access to the bonus round for 110x the bet, awarding 10, 20, or 40 free spins
Wishbringer: Slot Verdict
Wishbringer is… unexpectedly offbeat—for a Hacksaw Gaming slot, that is. At first glance, it doesn’t quite have the signature boldness the studio is known for. Instead, it feels like something that might have been crafted by a smaller, partner studio rather than one of the most innovative names in the business. But perhaps that’s not so surprising when you realize Wishbringer is essentially a reskin of Beam Boys, swapping out laser-eyed cats for a floating blue genie and a familiar Arabian Nights aesthetic.
It’s likely the presentation that feels off. The visuals are polished but play it safe, lacking the edgy punch Hacksaw typically brings to its themes. This is the studio, after all, that turned Westerns into something feral (Wanted Dead or a Wild) and made ancient deities look menacingly divine (Hand of Anubis). By contrast, Wishbringer looks like something almost any other studio could have put out. Genies are a well-worn slot trope, and Hacksaw—usually a studio known for reimagining clichés in fresh and gritty ways—doesn’t do much here to surprise or elevate the genre.
That said, Wishbringer is no slouch when it comes to gameplay. Like Beam Boys, it uses left-spreading wilds across a 4,096 ways-to-win grid, which can be brutally effective when the right setups land. The potential to hit the game’s 10,000x max win feels very real, and the bonus buy options give players direct access to the action.
In summary, Wishbringer is Beam Boys in different clothes—but without the bizarre charm that made the original stand out. It’s functional and capable, but if you’re looking for that signature Hacksaw edge, you might find this one just a little too tame.
