Pray for Three: Slot Overview

Online casinos are packed with familiar themes—yet another trek through Ancient Egypt, prankster jesters causing chaos, or pirates doing pirate things. Then there’s the darker tale behind Hacksaw Gaming’s slot Pray for Three. It follows two disgraced sisters, Scary Mary and Morbid Magda, cast out of heaven for their sins and fully embracing the flames below. Rather than begging for redemption, these wicked siblings decide to turn their damnation into an opportunity, searching for ways to take control of the underworld…

Pray for Three revisits the black-and-white hellscape of SixSixSix, though this time Balthazar and Beelzebub aren’t the ones guiding the action. Instead, players meet the two sisters, who somehow look sweet and menacing in equal measure. As before, bursts of cyan cut through the monochrome visuals, and the whole presentation keeps that early animated-cartoon feel from the previous game. A tinkly jazz/cabaret soundtrack ties it together nicely, reinforcing the “a bit nice, but mostly naughty” mood.

In a switch-up for Hacksaw Gaming, Pray for Three uses a ways to win system. On the 5×5 grid, that creates 3,125 ways to win, with all winning combinations counting from the leftmost reel. Winning symbols are removed, letting new and remaining symbols drop into place in a cascade for another shot at a payout, repeating until no further win forms. The game runs on a medium-high volatile math model with a maximum RTP of 96.33%, and the stake range sits at 10 c to $/€100 per spin.

Nails, a candle, a whip, an hourglass, and a tombstone make up Pray for Three’s lower-paying greyed-out symbols, paying 0.3x the bet for five of a kind. The higher-value set includes a cup, a bird, a snake, what looks like a lamb, and a bleeding-eyed creature, paying up to 0.4x to 4x the bet. Wilds can land on any reel, replacing all standard paying symbols, and a five-wild hit is worth 5x the bet.

Pray for Three: Slot Features

First up, Pray for Three includes a Total Win Bar that gathers every win from a spin and shows the combined amount above the grid. There’s also a Wheel of Sin, three bonus rounds – Wicked Ways, Living on a Prayer, and Flames of Fortune, plus feature buys.

Wheel of Sin

The Wheel of Sin is positioned outside the reels, and once activated, up to three sections open to show an Adding or a Multiplying value. The first section can display Adding Multipliers of x2 to x333, the second section can show Adding Multiplier of x2 to x333 or Multiplying Multipliers of x2 to x33, and the third section contains only Multiplying Multipliers of x2 to x33. Hitting a Prayer Hand or Divine Prayer Hand on the grid as part of a win triggers the Wheel of Sin. A Prayer Hand reveals a number from 1 to 3, which determines how many wheel sections will activate, while the Divine Prayer Hand activates all three sections.

Wicked Ways Bonus

Hitting 3 FS scatters in the base game starts this bonus with 10 free spins. Wicked Ways plays with the same rules as the base game, but with an increased chance of landing both Prayer Hand symbol types and wilds. Across all bonus rounds, FS scatters can appear on the leftmost, middle, and rightmost reels, and landing 2 or 3 FS scatters grants an extra +2 or +4 free spins, respectively.

Living on a Prayer Bonus

This bonus begins with 10 free spins when 4 FS scatters land in the base game. It follows the same structure as Wicked Ways, but with an increased chance of landing Divine Prayer Hands. Regular Prayer Hands do not appear.

Flames of Fortune Bonus

This bonus and 10 free spins are triggered by landing 5 FS scatters in the base game. Alongside the same core mechanics as Wicked Ways, wilds have a greater chance of appearing, and every spin guarantees that one Divine Prayer Hand will land.

Bonus Buys

Turning on BonusHunt FeatureSpins makes each spin 5 times more likely to trigger a bonus game, costing 3x per spin. Hail Mary FeatureSpins are priced at 50x and guarantee a win plus a Prayer Hand or Divine Prayer Hand on every spin. Wicked Ways is available to buy for 100x the bet, while Living on a Prayer costs 225x the bet.

Pray for Three: Slot Verdict

Pray for Three brings back the tone and colour scheme of SixSixSix, yet the gameplay feels notably different. For starters, Wicked Wheels are gone, meaning there are no blue or red ‘6’ symbols awarding cash prizes or free spins. Instead, the focus is on landing Prayer Hands—or ideally Divine Prayer Hands—alongside winning combinations to boost payouts using up to three stackable multiplier values, both additive and multiplicative. From a broad perspective, it’s not the most groundbreaking concept Hacksaw Gaming has produced, and similar mechanics have shown up in titles like Klowns or partner studio Backseat Gaming’s slots Roman Bonanza and Pirate Bonanza 2.

Still, the way it’s executed has been reworked, and paired with the eerie monochrome underworld inhabited by Scary Mary and Morbid Magda (and, if you reach Flames of Fortune, the winged character from SixSixSix), Pray for Three is a strong offering for fans of Hacksaw Gaming’s volatile, spark-and-explode approach. And on Flames of Fortune, much like Reign of Rome or Le Bandit, the studio once again teases a ‘Hidden Epic Bonus’ that players must grind toward because it can’t be purchased. It’s an especially tempting goal since every spin drops the prized Divine Prayer Hand symbol. Even so, both Prayer Hands can still land in the smaller bonus rounds and in the base game, keeping the tension of watching the Wheel of Sin spin alive throughout.

That also means the 13,333x win cap is achievable across all modes, so players can’t relax even outside the Hidden Epic Bonus. That’s the trademark punch of Hacksaw Gaming slots built around multiplier power. Pray for Three fits right in, combining a three-section multiplier wheel with huge ways-to-win potential—maybe not the studio’s most innovative release, but it’s tightly assembled and imaginatively styled.
