Coming soon. Buried By Night is announced for 10 Nov 2026, but Hacksaw Gaming has not published its RTP, volatility, max win or features yet. What follows is grounded in the studio's track record, not this game's own specs. The desk plays it from launch day and the real numbers replace this the moment the studio publishes them.
What works
- Hacksaw Gaming holds a UK Gambling Commission licence, so the real-money game will sit inside the regulated UK market.
- The studio has built around 268 games since 2018, a track record that shows it can deliver consistently to a schedule.
- A confirmed release date of 10 November 2026 gives a firm point to plan around.
- The studio's very high volatility lean is strongly established across its catalogue - worth knowing early if that profile suits your approach.
What does not
- RTP is not yet published for Buried By Night - there is no figure to weigh against any benchmark until the studio confirms it.
- Volatility, grid, max win, features, mechanic, theme and stake range are all still to come, so the risk profile cannot be assessed before release.
- Buried By Night is not confirmed to match the studio's typical numbers - past catalogue figures are context, not a guarantee.
- The studio's RTP data covers only 47 of its roughly 268 titles, so even the studio's median is drawn from a partial sample.
01
What Buried By Night is and when it lands
Buried By Night is a newly announced slot from Hacksaw Gaming, a Malta-based studio founded in 2018 that holds a UK Gambling Commission licence. The game is set to reach UK-licensed casinos on 10 November 2026, and its studio has a catalogue of around 268 games behind it.
None of this game's own specs have been published by the studio yet. RTP, volatility, max win, grid, paylines, mechanic, theme, features and stake range are all still to come and will be added here on release.
Every figure on this page is drawn from Hacksaw Gaming's wider catalogue - none of it is Buried By Night's own confirmed spec.
That means the rest of this page grounds itself in what the studio has established across its other releases, drawing on its tracked catalogue figures for RTP, volatility and themes. Those numbers are the studio's, framed as such throughout; they are useful context, not a promise about what this particular title will do.
02
What to expect from a Hacksaw Gaming release
Hacksaw Gaming's catalogue gives a clear picture of what the studio tends to build. Its output since 2018 is well-documented across several dimensions:
- Catalogue size: around 268 games in total, with 176 carrying a dated release, produced across the studio's history since 2018.
- Typical RTP: across the 47 titles in the studio's catalogue that publish a figure, the median sits at 94.25%, the average at 93.77%, with a range from 82.25% to 96.36%.
- Volatility lean: across 92 rated titles on a 1-to-5 ladder, very high volatility is the most common setting by a wide margin - 47 titles sit there, 35 are rated medium, 10 high, and none are rated low or low-to-medium.
- Mechanics: the studio has one progressive jackpot title on record across its entire catalogue; other mechanical patterns are not broken out in the available data.
- Common themes across the studio's catalogue: Halloween leads with 21 titles, followed by horror (13), then fantasy, animals and Wild West (8 each), and fish (7).
Buried By Night is not confirmed to match any of these figures. The studio's very high volatility lean is strongly established - nearly half of its 92 rated titles sit at that end of the scale - but individual releases can diverge significantly from catalogue patterns. The confirmed specs for Buried By Night, including RTP, volatility rating, mechanic and theme, will be published by the studio; until they are, the numbers above belong to Hacksaw Gaming's catalogue record, not this game.
03
How to play Buried By Night
A free play-money demo runs the real game engine on virtual credit. It costs nothing to use - no deposit, no account, nothing staked. It is a practical way to watch how a slot's features fire and what the pace feels like before deciding to play with real money.
The real-money version of Buried By Night will reach UK-licensed casinos on 10 November 2026. UK-licensed casinos operate under Gambling Commission rules covering things like stake limits, autoplay restrictions and the availability of feature buys - those terms belong to whichever casino you choose, not to the game's studio.
For players familiar with other Hacksaw Gaming titles - Life and Death, Le Bandit, Rise of Ymir - a play-money demo is also a useful way to compare pace and feel across the studio's range. That kind of direct comparison is one of the harder things to get from a written review alone.

How we build this pageOUR METHOD
- The desk plays what there is to play, with its own money. A released slot is played for real at a UK-licensed casino, and the demo above is the supplier's real GB build, loaded straight from their server, so what the desk opens is what launches. Either way, what it sees on screen is checked against the RTP, max win, volatility and features the studio has published. A game that is not out yet, with no demo to open, cannot be played, and its page says so.
- The article is then written up from those verified facts by our own tooling, which is what keeps every release on the site current and consistent. Specs come from the studio's own release sheet and the game's paytable, never from a sister title or a guess, and a number nobody has published is left blank rather than filled in.
- A person then reads every article end to end, for facts, structure and quality, and edits it where it is not up to standard. It publishes under the byline above, and that person owns its accuracy and any corrections. We change the date when the facts change, not to look fresh.
- Spotted something out of date? Every page shows the day we last checked it. Tell us and we will fix it and log the change.
