Toshi Ways Club Hits the Reels, Reinventing a Hacksaw Gaming Favorite

Hacksaw Gaming is back where it all began - deep in Tokyo’s neon-soaked backstreets. On December 22, 2025, the studio officially released Toshi Ways Club, a bold new slot that resurrects the unmistakable style of Toshi Video Club while tearing up the gameplay rulebook entirely.

This isn’t a remaster or a simple sequel. Toshi Ways Club is a full-scale reinvention that blends minimalist Japanese aesthetics with one of Hacksaw’s most ambitious mechanics to date. Familiar at a glance, unpredictable in motion, the game is built to surprise players who thought they already knew what a “Toshi” slot could be.

From the very first seconds, Toshi Ways Club pulls players into its world. The game opens with a distorted, VHS-like screen before snapping into focus, revealing an underground video club hidden beneath Tokyo’s streets.

Spirits gather here after dark, neon signs glow softly in the background, and an octopus motif quietly watches over the reels. The color palette remains deliberately restrained - black, white, and orange - but the presentation feels richer and more mature than before.

Animations are smoother, details are sharper, and every visual choice feels intentional. A low-key electronic soundtrack hums beneath the action, giving the slot a late-night, after-hours vibe that perfectly matches its setting.

Beneath the stylish exterior lies the real headline feature: Hackways. Toshi Ways Club runs on a 6-reel grid with dynamically resizing symbols, unlocking up to 1,000,000 ways to win on any spin. But this isn’t just about big numbers - it’s about how wins behave once they land.

There’s no hiding what Toshi Ways Club is built for. This is a high-volatility slot with a top RTP of 96.09% and a maximum win of 10,000x the bet. Big payouts won’t come easily, but when Flash Frames, Swap symbols, and the right bonus mode collide, the potential is very real.

The max win might seem restrained given the million ways on offer, but in practice, the journey there is packed with tension, near-misses and sudden momentum swings - the kind that define modern Hacksaw slots.

Instead of traditional cascades, the game introduces Flash Frames. When a winning combination hits, the winning positions are highlighted and don’t disappear. Instead, they transform, revealing new symbols and creating opportunities for additional wins within the same spin. As new wins connect, the framed area grows, turning a single hit into a potential chain reaction.

It’s a mechanic that rewards patience and anticipation, as players watch the grid evolve rather than reset.

If Flash Frames are the engine of Toshi Ways Club, Swap symbols are the ignition switch. When one appears alongside active Flash Frames, it doesn’t just enhance the win - it rewrites the grid.

After wins settle, the Swap symbol reveals a single paying symbol and replaces every framed position with it, including itself. The result can be a screen suddenly dominated by one symbol type, dramatically increasing the number of winning ways. It’s the kind of moment that turns quiet spins into edge-of-your-seat chaos.

As the game progresses into its higher-tier bonuses, Swap symbols evolve even further, becoming sharper, more aggressive, and far more dangerous to the casino’s balance.

Toshi Ways Club doesn’t settle for a single free spins round. Instead, it escalates through three distinct bonus modes, each more intense than the last.

The journey begins with Retro Reboost, triggered by three Scatters. This mode keeps the base mechanics intact but boosts the frequency of Swap symbols, allowing Flash Frames to build more aggressively. Land four Scatters, and things get serious with Sucker Punch. 

This version introduces the Slicing Swap symbol, which not only replaces Flash Frames with a single symbol but slices them down to their smallest size, massively multiplying win potential.

Then there’s Tokyo Data Drift - the hidden epic bonus. Triggered by five Scatters, this mode guarantees at least one Swap or Slicing Swap symbol on every free spin.

Scatter symbols vanish entirely, and the game goes all-in on pure symbol manipulation. It’s rare, relentless, and designed to show Toshi Ways Club at full throttle.

For players who don’t want to wait, Hacksaw Gaming has included a full Bonus Buy menu. Feature Spins increase the odds of triggering bonuses, while direct buys offer instant access to Retro Reboost or the punishing Sucker Punch round.

• BonusHunt FeatureSpins - 5x higher chances of triggering a bonus gam, increases the bet per spin by 3x.
• Toshi FeatureSpins - Each spin guarantees a win and landing of one Swap symbol, costs 100x the bet.
• Retro Reboost Buy - Triggers Retro Reboost free spins round for 100x the stake.
• Sucker Punch Buy - Activates Sucker Punch bonus round for 200x the stake. 

Toshi Ways Club doesn’t try to outdo its predecessor by being louder or flashier. Instead, it grows up. It’s more complex, more volatile, and more daring, while still honoring the visual identity that made the original memorable.

For players who appreciate stylish restraint paired with explosive mechanics, Toshi Ways Club feels like a confident statement from Hacksaw Gaming. The club doors are open again - but this time, once you step inside, anything can happen.
