Hand of Anubis: a 5x6 cluster slot with a 10,000x cap
Hand of Anubis is a Hacksaw slot, not a table game. The 30 April 2022 news post calls it a high-volatility 5x6 cascading cluster slot with a max of 10,000 times the bet. RTP, hit rate, stake band, and any buy price are not on that post. A direct game URL returned no sheet.

What the hand of anubis news post prints
The dedicated game path under hacksawgaming.com/games/hand-of-anubis did not return a sheet. The host answered 404. This note does not invent a stat row that page never showed.
The page that did load is the studio's 30 April 2022 release summary, at hacksawgaming.com/news/new-game-release-april-summary. The paragraph dated 21 April is the sheet for this title.
The footer names HGMT Ltd, Malta company C84111, and MGA licence MGA/CRP/501/2018. That line identifies the supplier on the news page. It is not a casino directory.
No casino account was opened, and no cash-out was timed. This note has no affiliate link.
A news paragraph, not a stat row
The games catalog at hacksawgaming.com/games lists the name with a Try it control. The card's volatility mark is a set of images, not a numeral. The card does not print RTP or a cap.
The slots topic hub collects cabinet notes. A cartoon 16-line post from the same studio is a different month and a different grid. Read the cartoon 16-line post when that tile is the one you meant.
A Greek tumble page from another studio prints its own return. See the Greek tumble page before you mix the two.
A slot grid, not a table layout
The news paragraph calls this an Egyptian pyramid theme. It then calls the product a slot.
The grid is 5x6. Wins are cascading and cluster-based. The paragraph does not print a payline count, because the win type it names is a cluster, not a line card.
This is not a table game that happens to share a name. Nothing on the post describes a dealer, a felt, or a hand of cards.
How cluster and line games differ in general is the machinery note. What volatility words try to suggest is why the word high is not a hit rate.
The hand of anubis grid in that paragraph is five by six. A lobby tile with another shape is a different build until its own rules print the shape.
Soul orbs without a multiplier formula
The post says the grid is guarded by Anubis forms. The only guide it names is brightly coloured Soul Orbs.
Those orbs, in the post's words, lead the way to accumulate more multipliers. The all-seeing eye is flavour in the same paragraph. Neither sentence prints a number.
The post does not say how many orbs can land, what colours do, or whether an orb is wild. A product PDF on another host is not this studio page, so those formulas stay unpublished here.
The Bonus Feature is named. The post says the maths offers chances in the classic game and if that feature is activated. It does not print a price, a spin count, or a trigger count.
Leave the feature price unpublished. Do not borrow a multiple from a neighbouring paragraph about a different April release.
10,000 times the bet, and a return that is missing
The printed cap is 10,000 times the player's bet. On a $1 stake the arithmetic ceiling is $10,000. The post does not print a minimum or a maximum stake, so this note does not invent a euro band.
The chance of reaching that cap is not printed. A lid is not a forecast, and it does not fill in a missing return.
RTP is not on the news post, and it is not on the catalog card we opened. The complement of the return is therefore not published.
Do not subtract a percent you never saw.
Another Hacksaw cabinet with a printed return shows how a studio page looks when RTP files are actually listed. This pyramid post is not that page.
The complement of a published return only applies after a return is printed. Here the cell stays blank.

The catalog button and the missing game URL
Two studio surfaces were opened. They do not carry the same facts.
The news post is a paragraph inside a monthly roundup. Gladiator Legends is a different game in the same post, with its own 5x4 grid and its own 10-line note. Do not paste that grid onto the pyramid paragraph.
The catalog card can launch Try it. We did not open the client, so no in-game paytable is quoted. A demo result is not published.
If a later studio page adds an RTP, that page becomes the sheet. Until then, the return stays unpublished.
Why a loss streak is not stored credit still applies when the return is unknown. A dry stretch does not make the next cluster due.
Player pots next to an unpublished return
A missing RTP is not a zero edge, and it is not a generous edge. It is an unpublished cell. A house that rents the slot may show a figure this news post never printed.
| Fee or edge | Who you play against | Payout speed | Provably fair | Minimum bet | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Hacksaw news post | RTP not published. Cap 10,000 times the bet | a paytable | not published | not published | not published |
| House-banked casino | not published | the house | not published | not published | not published |
| PVPspinArena | Slott takes 10% of a winning pot. Purple and Silver are about a 7.88% edge after the 5% win fee | other players | not timed here | yes, on the fairness page | $1 on Coinflip |
How PvP compares: the pyramid post does not price a spin with a printed return. P2P Slott prices a reel duel against another player and takes 10% of a winning pot.
The duel is a 5 by 4 grid, six spins each. Five paylines score a left-to-right run: three of a kind times 5, four times 15, and five times 50. Common symbols score 1 point, rare 2, epic 4, legendary 8, and WILD 10.
Sapphire and Amethyst are common symbols on that grid, worth 1 point each. The names are this site's art. They are not the Hacksaw title.
Three WILDs add 20% of the stake to the shared pot, four add 50%, five add 100%, and six or more add 300%. A per-match cap can reduce that award.
A bomb ends the match and the house keeps both stakes. A lasting tie refunds both stakes with no fee.
Roulette on this site uses 33 pockets, with 16 Purple, 16 Silver, and 1 Green. Purple and Silver pay 2x, then 5% comes off that winning payout, so a hit keeps 1.90 times the stake.
Sixteen divided by 33, times 1.90, minus 1, is about −0.0788. That is the 7.88% edge. Green pays 14x, and this page does not quote a Green edge.
A settled round can be checked on the fairness page. The check matches this site's commit to the result. It does not audit Hacksaw, and it does not audit a casino that rents the pyramid slot.
Cash-out minimum is $20 in BTC, USDC, or ETH. We did not time a cash-out.
Dollar pictures that use the cap wording
None of these pictures is a pyramid-slot result. The first applies the printed cap to a $1 stake the post never listed as a minimum. The other two use fees from this site.
Example 1 — cap arithmetic. The post says 10,000 times the bet. On a $1 stake the arithmetic lid is $10,000.
That $10,000 is a ceiling on that stake, not an expected result. The post does not print the chance.
Example 2 — Slott win. Suppose the winning pot on P2P Slott is $25. Ten percent is $2.50, so the winner keeps $22.50.
The $2.50 is this site's duel fee.
Example 3 — Jackpot. Four $50 entries make a $200 pot. The 5% fee is $10, so the winner receives $190.
One jackpot result does not reveal the fee. The fee is a slice of the pot.
Checks before a pyramid tile is treated as this post
Use the list on the cabinet you opened. A pyramid picture does not prove the 21 April 2022 paragraph.
- [ ] Confirm you are 18, or older if local law sets a higher age.
- [ ] Treat this as a slot. Do not read it as a table game.
- [ ] Open the rules screen on the install you are pressing.
- [ ] Accept 5x6 and a cluster win only if that screen prints them.
- [ ] Accept high volatility only as the word the news post uses, unless the client prints more.
- [ ] Accept 10,000 times the bet only if that screen prints it.
- [ ] Leave RTP unpublished when the screen is silent.
- [ ] Leave Soul Orb maths unpublished when the screen gives no formula.
- [ ] Do not treat the named Bonus Feature as a buy price.
- [ ] Set a loss stop before the first paid spin.
- [ ] If the session becomes a chase, call 1-800-GAMBLER.
Who should skip the pyramid slot
A hand of anubis session can end below the stake you brought. The 10,000 times line is a lid, not a plan. Because RTP is unpublished, this note cannot tell you the long-run price of a spin.
Do not play if you are under 18, or under a higher local age. Do not play where the game is illegal. Do not stake rent, savings, or money that has a due date.
Do not play to get even. The post does not owe the next spin a cluster or an orb. This page is an editorial note, not a statute reading, and not a coupon.
PVPspinArena does not offer this title. If play stops being a bounded spend, call 1-800-GAMBLER and open responsible gambling.
