Hacksaw Gaming Takes Its Hunting Series to the Serengeti
Hacksaw Gaming has swapped snow-capped peaks for sun-scorched grassland with Great Game Serengeti, the latest release in its hunting-themed slot series. The studio’s fully-kitted marksman is back for another outing, this time taking aim at the African savanna’s biggest wildlife rather than the mountain game of its predecessor. It’s a title that leans on a familiar formula but adds one genuinely new trick to the mix.
What’s been released
Great Game Serengeti comes a few months after Great Game Rockies sent players on a hunting journey to the Rocky Mountains
, and
it’s an offshoot of that previous hunting-themed release
. Hacksaw Gaming’s portfolio data lists the game’s launch date as 10 September 2026, and given the studio’s standing as a UK-licensed supplier, it slots straight into the reels of UK-facing casino sites that already carry its back catalogue.
Great Game Serengeti is a game where players are tasked with collecting symbols representing different prey, including ostriches, giraffes, zebras, rhinoceroses, and lions
.
Symbols representing more challenging game pay more, allowing players to immerse themselves in the hunting experience
.
The African setting brings cartoon savannas and shifting sunset hues to frame the action
, a visual shift from the mountain backdrop of Great Game Rockies while keeping the series’ distinctive art style intact.
How it plays
Great Game Serengeti plays across 5 reels, 3 rows, and 9 fixed paylines
.
A fully-kitted hunter stands next to the reels, ready to shoot at players’ command
, and
this experienced hunter in classic safari attire waits beside the reels, rifle in hand, poised to fire at targets above
.
Accurate rifle shots deliver instant prizes up to 500x each, while the total max win hits 5,000x the bet
.
The Hunting Season feature and three bonus rounds return from earlier games in the series, but the new Stampede Reveals mechanic steals the spotlight by randomly packing the entire grid with premium symbols to guarantee a Hunting Season trigger
.
A special meter charges via low-value symbol wins, activating guaranteed Stampede Reveals and replacing the predecessor’s animal upgrades for a fresh, high-volatility safari
. The bonus rounds also shift the setting through the day, since
progressing to the first bonus round shifts the scene to a crisp, bright morning, while the second bonus embraces a tranquil pinkish dusk
.
Where it fits
The African savanna is well-trodden ground for slot studios, but Hacksaw’s approach here is less about scenery and more about keeping its target-shooting mechanic feeling fresh across instalments. Swapping the previous game’s animal-upgrade system for a meter-driven guaranteed trigger gives Great Game Serengeti a slightly different rhythm to Great Game Rockies, even as it sits within the same broader series and shares the hunter-at-the-reels presentation that has become the format’s signature.
Hacksaw Gaming is licensed by the Malta Gaming Authority and the UK Gambling Commission
, which keeps its steady stream of high-volatility, feature-driven releases flowing into UK-licensed lobbies alongside its other recent output. For players who enjoyed the target-practice hook of Great Game Rockies, Serengeti offers more of the same broad idea with a tweak to how the headline bonus gets earned, rather than a wholesale reinvention of the format.
