The official catalogue confirms the game but its launch URL is session-bound. An original Soul Orb diagram is used in place of an iframe that cannot be checked.

03 · Round example
Example: a cluster charges but does not guarantee
The following round is illustrative, not predictive.
A group of six matching symbols clears beside a red Soul Orb. The orb gains value and the empty cells refill. A second cluster forms on the opposite side of the board, causing another cascade but failing to touch the charged orb.
The round can still finish without using the stored multiplier. This is the key session lesson: visible progress within one cascade sequence is not a promise that the last drop will connect.

Clusters feed two opposing Soul Orbs
Start with the board, not the maximum-win headline.
Five or more matching symbols connected along an edge form a cluster. The winning symbols disappear and new pieces fall into the spaces, allowing another cluster within the same paid round. Diagonal contact alone is not enough.
Red and blue Soul Orbs act as wilds and can gain multiplier value when nearby clusters explode. Their positions and colours feed different feature behaviour, so the board is best read as a chain of connected groups rather than five independent paylines.
Large multipliers need both charge and a later connection. An orb can grow without joining the final paying cluster, which is one reason the game carries the studio’s maximum 5/5 volatility mark.
Play — 22BET ↗05 · RTP and volatility
Very-high volatility needs more room per stake
The final step is to turn the risk label into a limit.
Documents for deployed builds show RTP settings from 94.32% to 96.24%. Always read the current game panel because a review of the top configuration does not identify the version served by an operator.
At 5/5 volatility, long stretches without a feature are compatible with the game design. A lower stake preserves more individual trials inside a fixed budget, but it cannot make the bonus arrive.
Decide a euro ceiling and a finish time before opening the game. The charged-orb presentation can make a near miss feel unfinished; financially, the completed round is already over.
Play — 22BET ↗06 · Bonus
Underworld and Judgment use the grid differently
The bonus has its own trigger and settlement order.
The Underworld route extends the cascading structure into free spins and gives the Soul Orbs more opportunities to develop. The Judgment route shifts attention toward held symbols and collection. The live paytable explains the exact trigger pattern for the active build.
Both features feed the same 10,000× game-round cap. A visible charged orb or nearly complete hold grid does not create value after the round has settled. Each new paid spin begins with its own independent outcome.
Hacksaw titles may expose feature purchase controls in some markets. Those controls and prices are deliberately omitted because their availability in the target account has not been confirmed.
