Hacksaw Gaming has released Wicked Grin, a slot built around expanding Wicked Grin symbols that convert entire reels into Coins or Multipliers, according to the game’s official page. The title launches October 8th 2026.
When a Wicked Grin or Super Wicked Grin symbol lands on the bottom row, it expands.
How the Wicked Grin symbol works
When a Wicked Grin or Super Wicked Grin symbol lands on the bottom row, it expands and transforms every symbol on that reel into Coins or Multipliers, the studio said. A Multiplier applies its value to all Coins above it on the same reel and to Coins on adjacent reels in the rows above. An expanded Super Wicked Grin symbol additionally causes Wicked Grin symbols on adjacent reels to expand from their current positions. Multiplier values revealed from Wicked Grin symbols go up to x20 on Coins, while Diamond Coin symbols can reveal values of up to 500x, the page states.
FS symbols trigger two bonus games
Spreading FS symbols work on the same principle: when at least one FS or Super FS symbol sits on the bottom row, it expands to cover the entire reel. The numbers on the expanded FS symbols are added together to set the free spins total for the bonus that follows. An expanding FS symbol leads to Stash N Stack, awarding 5-30 free spins with a Stash above each reel that multiplies Coin values on that reel. An expanding Super FS symbol instead leads to Coin Craze, also 5-30 free spins, where Coin Collectors save all Coin values until the bonus ends.

What this means
Payout size in Wicked Grin depends on how many Wicked Grin symbols expand and how large the Multiplier and Diamond Coin values revealed underneath them turn out to be, since Multipliers stack onto Coins above and on adjacent reels. Which of the two bonus games triggers depends on whether an FS or a Super FS symbol expands, and the free spins count in either bonus is fixed by adding the numbers shown on the expanded FS symbols rather than drawn at random.
