Densho

Densho is a 5-reel, 4-row payline slot from Hacksaw Gaming. Its presentation draws on an Asian setting rendered in a watercolor style, while the game structure centers on expanding Densho symbols, multiplier reels and progression-based Free Spins.

Wins are evaluated across 10 paylines. The headline maximum win is 10,000x the stake, and the supplied volatility rating is 4 out of 5.

The 5x4 layout gives Densho 20 visible symbol positions on each spin. Rather than using a cluster or ways system, the slot lists 10 paylines as its win type.

Densho has four listed RTP configurations: 96.40%, 94.38%, 92.33% and 88.34%. The range means the 96.40% figure should not be treated as the only possible RTP setting.

Densho symbols can expand into Wild Multiplier Reels when the expansion passes through one or more winning paylines. These symbols appear in Common, Rare and Legendary forms, with each tier carrying a different multiplier range.

Common Densho symbols apply multipliers from 2x to 10x. Rare Densho symbols range from 5x to 50x, while Legendary Densho symbols can boost a payline win by up to 100x.

If multiple Densho symbols contribute to the same winning combination, their multiplier values are added together before the payout is calculated. This summing rule makes combinations involving more than one multiplier reel particularly important.

The standard Free Spins feature adds a Progression Tracker above every reel. The level shown on each tracker determines the minimum quality of Densho symbol that can appear on that reel.

An Upgrade symbol fills the tracker associated with its reel, raising the minimum Densho quality available there. Progress is therefore tracked separately across the five reels rather than through one shared meter.

Free Spins can be retriggered. Two FS symbols award two additional spins, while three FS symbols award four additional spins.

Super Free Spins use the same reel-based Progression Trackers but begin with every tracker already at level 2. This guarantees that any Densho symbols appearing during the feature are Rare quality or better.

Retriggers remain available in Super Free Spins under the same system described for the standard feature. The key distinction is the stronger starting position of the trackers.

Where the option is available, Densho includes a Bonus Buy menu that allows direct entry into Free Spins for a fee. The supplied game information does not list the purchase price.

BonusHunt FeatureSpins™ cost three times the current stake and provide five times the usual odds of triggering a bonus game. A separate option costs 50x the bet and guarantees that at least two Densho symbols land in the base game.

The free Densho demo is a practical way to follow how expanding Densho symbols interact with the 10 paylines. Pay particular attention to wins containing multiple Densho symbols, since their values are summed before the payout calculation.

During Free Spins, track the five meters independently and note which reels have been improved by Upgrade symbols. In Super Free Spins, compare the feature's level 2 starting trackers with the lower starting position of the standard round.

Densho combines a compact 10-payline structure with multipliers that can reach 100x on a Legendary Densho symbol. Its bonus rounds build on that central mechanic through reel-specific progression and upgraded minimum symbol tiers.

The main figures to retain are the 4 out of 5 volatility rating, 10,000x maximum win and four listed RTP settings of 96.40%, 94.38%, 92.33% and 88.34%. The available RTP configuration is an important detail when comparing versions of the slot.
