Death Becomes You
HacksawDescription
Within Hacksaw's horror-themed catalogue, Death Becomes You stands out for its duel mechanic, a slot with [medium to high volatility](/guides/volatility) and a top win of 15000 times the stake. Wins connected to VS symbols turn into duels between two duelists, with multipliers from 2x to 100x.
How to play
A round begins with a bet and a spin. Winning combinations that include VS symbols expand those symbols into a Wild DuelReel covering the whole reel, and a Duel starts between two duelists. Multipliers from 2x to 100x then apply to wins connected to that reel. Spelling DEATH with low-paying symbols brings in the Death DuelReel, and landing 3 FS symbols opens one of the bonus rounds. Autoplay is part of the game, and the demo version works on both desktop and phones, so the duel system can be tried without staking anything.
Theme and symbols
The setting is horror, with monsters and death as the central ideas. The symbols that matter most are the VS symbols, which trigger duels, the FS symbols, which lead to bonus rounds, and the low-paying symbols that spell DEATH. The game also uses Wild and Scatter symbols.
Features
DuelReels: VS symbols in a win expand into a Wild reel and start a Duel, with 2x to 100x multipliers on wins linked to that reel.
Duel with Death: spelling DEATH with low-paying symbols creates a Death DuelReel across the middle 3 reels, with 3 lives. Losing a Duel costs a life, and winning adds Death's multiplier to the next Duel.
Meet Your Maker Bonus: 3 FS symbols award 10 free spins with a bigger chance of VS symbols landing to trigger Duel with Death.
Drop Dead Bonus: 3 FS symbols can also award 4 free spins with 3 lives, and defeating 5 DuelReel Monsters awards a Duel with Death.
Epic Death Hidden Bonus: a hidden round of 5 free spins with 5 lives, where Duel with Death triggers on the first spin and wins are paid after every Duel. The maximum win across the game is 15000 times the bet. More games from this studio sit among all Hacksaw games, and the wider slots lobby has other titles.
