Frank’s Farm: Our Verdict
Franks Farm is a loveable little slot, which makes it hard to believe that it’s within the same family as some of Hacksaw’s other games, like Hand of Anubis, Itero Echospins, Gladiator Legends and other notable games with a darker theme.
Hacksaw do this now and again – one minute it’s doom and gloom and the poof, King Carrot, Harvest Wilds or Frank’s Farm comes along to lighten the mood. Those with sunnier dispositions will love the almost cuddly Frank’s Farm, and even us who prefer Hacksaw’s darker side can find solace in a bit of sunshine now and then.
When it comes to gameplay, Frank’s Farm does what Hacksaw does best with multipliers to carry the game, and there’s a sprinkle of something else in there 2 with Scatter Pay mechanics and a couple of bonus rounds in true Hacksaw fashion.
Both Order Rush and Diner Dash are medium volatility, and the potential here caps out at 5,000x, which is a fair bit lower than other Hacksaw titles. Lower potential doesn’t necessarily mean a worse game all of the time. Hacksaw does enough to make Frank’s Farm an attractive new option for players looking to try their luck on something new.
Overall, Frank’s Farm isn’t exactly a big statement piece from Hacksaw Gaming, but it can certainly leave an impression given a chance.
