The Count™ Slot

The Count™ Slot RTP, Details & Wager Limits

In The Count™ slot game, you’ll be playing on a 5×5 gaming area with 19 paylines. As usual for regular online slots, winners are formed by landing 3, 4, or 5 or more matching symbols on adjacent reels from left to right.

Stakes range from 10p to £75 per spin, a tad bit lower than Hacksaw Gaming’s standard bet levels. Use the arrow buttons to adjust your bet, but remember that it can’t exceed £5 per spin at UK online casinos. The autoplay function and turbo mode are also unavailable in the region.

The top The Count™ RTP is 96.36%, with lower variants of 94.28%, 92.34%, and 86.19% also widely available. Shop around the best casinos for the best-paying one, but if you’ve got eyes on higher RTP values, check out our lineup of the highest RTP slots.

With a rating of 4 out of 5, the volatility sits in the medium–high bracket. The hit frequency is 31%, meaning wins hit after 3.2 spins on average—quite satisfactory for the game’s variance. Another aspect that is satisfactory is The Count™ max win of 12,500x the bet.

From my experience with The Count™ demo, landing big multipliers on the Epic Wild Bat symbol during any of the game modes offers your best route to the top prize. The demo version is available on this page and in our free online slots library.

The Count™ Theme–A Vampire Muppet Show

If you’ve been around the block for a while, you’d agree that Hacksaw Gaming has something for the retro cartoon style. SixSixSix™ and Pray for Three™ are the quickest to mind. The Count™ feels familiar, clearly inspired by Count von Count, the vampire muppet from the 1972 children’s TV series, Sesame Street.

It uses a black and white aesthetic, which might come off as minimalist, yet it carries a lot of details and a lighthearted vibe. Get into the bonus round to see everything come alive in the vampire’s lair. He counts himself and his headless skeleton companion goofing around on either side of the grid.

The soundscape has a playful charm, exactly what you’d expect from a muppet show. See what the paytable looks like at The Count™ casinos:

Symbol	Payouts/Info
10	3, 4, 5 = 0.2, 0.5, 1x the stake
J	3, 4, 5 = 0.2, 0.5, 1x the stake
Q	3, 4, 5 = 0.2, 0.5, 1x the stake

The Count™ Mobile Slot

As the standard for new online slots, The Count™ is optimised for mobile play. You will get the same creepy black and white visuals on smaller screens, just as on desktops.

However, while the grid looks more bold when playing in portrait mode, it removes Count and his headless skeleton from the view. It’s a trade-off that doesn’t quite sit well with me. For a more complete experience at mobile casinos, switching to landscape mode is your best bet.

The Count™ Bonus Features

Like the best online slots from Hacksaw Gaming, The Count™ features 3 bonus rounds, each with decent extras to increase winning potential. There are also Wild multipliers, which can reach 500x.

Expanded Bloody Wilds

Whenever a Blood symbol appears on the reels, it expands into a Bloody Wild if the expanded symbol is going to be part of a winning combination. It expands from the top of its reel to its position, counting as a Wild on every position it covers. Note that just 1 Blood symbol can land on a spin.

A multiplier ranging from 2x to 500x may also apply to wins that the expanded Wild is part of. If multiple Bloody Wilds form a win, their multiplier values are first summed up before being applied to the payout.

Wild Bats

The Wild Bat symbol may carry a multiplier value ranging from 2x to 500x, which applies to any win it participates in. If you’re lucky enough to land a win consisting of both the Wild Bat and a Bloody Wild, their multiplier values are first added and then applied to the payout.

There’s also an Epic Wild Bat symbol with the same multiplier range as the regular Wild Bat. When it appears, it spreads its value to all expanded Bloody Wilds and Wild Bat symbols on the grid.

Bat to the Bone Bonus Game

Landing 3 FS symbols in the base game triggers 10 free spins. This bonus round operates on the base game mechanics, but offers better chances of landing Wild Bat symbols.

Rest in Pieces Bonus Game

Activate the Rest in Pieces bonus game by landing 4 Scatters on the reels in the base game. The round starts with 10 free spins. In addition to maintaining the base game’s mechanics, it uses a Progressive Symbol Counter. The counter has 5 sections, each linked to the 5 low-paying symbols.

Whenever a low-paying symbol forms a win, its corresponding counter is filled. Filling all 5 sections transforms all low-value symbols on the reels into Wild Bats for the rest of the round.

Count on Blood Hidden Epic Bonus

This bonus game is triggered by landing 5 Scatters, which awards 10 free spins. Here, you have the Progressive Symbol Counter and better chances of hitting Epic Wild Bat symbols. Even more, you are guaranteed to land at least 5 Wild Bat symbols on every spin.

You can get extra spins by landing more Scatters on the reels during a bonus round:

• 2 Scatters: +2 free spins
• 3 Scatters: +4 free spins

This applies to the 3 bonus rounds.

Buy Bonus (Unavailable in the UK)

Activate the Buy Bonus function to increase your chances of triggering a bonus game or jump straight into the action. There are 4 options available:

• BonusHunt FeatureSpins™ (3x the bet): offers 5x more chances of triggering a bonus game.
• Fangtasia FeatureSpins™ (50x the bet): guarantees that at least 3 Wild Bast symbols appear on each spin. There’s also a high chance that other special symbols appear.
• Bat to the Bone™ (100x the bet): triggers the Bat to the Bone bonus game.
• Rest in Pieces™ (300x the bet): triggers the Rest in Pieces bonus game.

The Count™ Slot

The Count™ features several familiar extras from Hacksaw Gaming’s catalogue and delivers promising payouts with big multiplier values.

Pros

• Offers a top win of 12,500x the bet per spin
• Wild with multiplier values of up to 500x
• 3 bonus rounds
• Visuals look great and fun

Cons

• Portrait mode on mobile misses out on delicate details
• Gameplay isn’t innovative enough

At this point, it seems the creatives at Hacksaw Gaming are stuck reliving their ‘90s childhood. I can’t complain, as long as the execution is this good. The cartoon-style design is the provider’s bread and butter, and it sticks to the familiar black and white aesthetics and goofy characters.

On the technical side, the provider has stitched together bits and pieces from some of its notable titles. Single, Spreading, and Expanding multiplier Wilds are all extras we’ve seen countless times, so now, it feels more like we’re in a loop across different themes.

What feels novel is the Progressive Symbol Counter. It collects low-paying winning symbols and transforms them into Wild Bats with multipliers. With the generous multipliers on every corner, reaching 500x, the top win of 12,500x the bet is achievable.
