I’m not sure if I like dance music. Sure. It’s great when you’ve had too much Long Island iced tea and are sweaty. But can I drink a cup of coffee and listen to the repetitive noises that invade my brain? Probably not. As a result, I am the perfect person to review dance music themed slots.
Hacksaw’s Feel the Beat slot is a five-reel slot that features an exciting track selection feature where you can choose between duplicate versions of three classic dance numbers.

When two speaker symbols appear on the reels, any position between the two speakers on one of the slot’s 27 paylines transforms into a speaker symbol. All speaker symbols on the reels will then flip over to reveal the same paying symbol.

The X symbol is an interesting feature we’ve never seen before. If one of these symbols appears on the reels at the same time as a winning combination is completed, a random global multiplier with a value between 2x and 200x will be applied to the winning amount.
The slot’s standard free spins round is triggered by three FS symbols. During free spins, you are guaranteed at least 2 speakers per spin. Additionally, unlike the base game where the speaker symbol can only show paid symbols, during the free spins round the speaker symbol can also show wild symbols. Beat slot free spins can be triggered again, and if 2 or 3 FS symbols appear during a round, you will receive an additional 2 and 4 free spins respectively.
In addition to the slot’s standard free spins round, it also offers a Get Your Booty on the Floor bonus round that is triggered by four FS symbols. This free spins round is almost identical to the standard round, except that the global multiplier continues to increase instead of resetting each time you activate it.

If you don’t want to wait on the dance floor to unlock bonus features the old-fashioned way, you can choose to take advantage of the purchase bonus feature. The Feel the Beat slot purchase bonus feature gives you a variety of options to choose from.
Will the Feel the Beat slot go platinum?
Feel the Beat slot offers multipliers of up to 10,000x, meaning you could win up to $250,000 when you bet $25 per spin top end. However, bets start at $0.10 per spin, and at this rate you still have a chance to win up to $1,000, which is not a bad return. This slot offers medium to high volatility and has an RTP rating of 96.2%.
Hacksaw released one of my favorite music-themed slots last year. It’s called Vending Machine and it has a bit of chill lo-fi hip hop which matches my taste in music perfectly. To be honest, I don’t really like dance music, so I didn’t really connect with the Feel the Beat slot. I’m not sure if the graphics are as good as Vending Machine’s graphics. Nonetheless, there is still a lot to like about Feel the Beat. The graphics are still great, and the fun animations really kick things up a notch. The bonus features are plentiful and the theme is well-organized and attractive. I give this an 8 out of 10.
If you’re looking for other Hacksaw games I recommend, try 2 Wild 2 Die and Densho.
