Chaos Crew 2 app guide

Chaos Crew 2 app: what's new compared with the original

Hacksaw Gaming released Chaos Crew 2 in 2023 as a follow-up to Chaos Crew. The two look alike on a phone, but the mechanics have moved on considerably.

Like its predecessor, the game is only available to UK players through licensed operators, either in their app or on the mobile site.

Chaos Crew 2 on a portrait phone screen

The square grid suits a phone held upright. It spans the screen width, with the spin button, stake and balance beneath, so everything is reachable with one thumb. The extra four paylines over the original don't change the grid size, and win lines are drawn over the symbols when they land.

During the bonus, values build up on each reel, so there is more on-screen information than in the base game. On a compact phone, the numbers above the reels can be small; rotating to landscape or increasing your phone's display zoom helps. Hacksaw's graphics are light enough to run smoothly on most mid-range Android handsets and older iPhones that still receive the casino's app updates.

How to play Chaos Crew 2 in a casino app

1. Open your UK casino app and log in. Complete verification if prompted, as real-money and demo games stay locked until you do.
2. Search for Chaos Crew 2 in the lobby and tap the tile.
3. Before spinning, tap the menu icon and read the rules for the Bonus and Super Bonus, the RTP line and any optional modes listed.
4. Set your stake. The app caps it at £5 per spin if you're 25 or over and £2 if you're 18 to 24.
5. Tap spin for each round. There's no autoplay or turbo in the UK, and each spin lasts at least 2.5 seconds.
6. Keep an eye on the net position display so you know your result for the session.

Cranky Cat wilds and multipliers

In the sequel, Cranky Cat acts as the wild and appears often in the base game. Each Cat carries a multiplier from 2x to 20x, applied to any win it forms part of. When several Cats share the same winning payline, their multipliers multiply each other.

Take a line paying 10p before multipliers. A single 2x Cat makes it 20p. Add a 5x Cat on the same line and it becomes 10p × 2 × 5 = £1. A 20x Cat alongside those two would take it to £20. Most lines don't get that far, but this compounding is where the larger base-game results come from.

Epic Drop: the random base-game feature

Epic Drop can trigger at random during any base-game spin. At least five multiplier symbols land on the reels and reveal their values, and then play returns to the base game. It can trigger again on later spins. Since it's random, there's no way to influence how often it appears.

The Chaos Crew 2 Bonus and Super Bonus

Three scatters in the base game start the Bonus. During it, regular, sticky, Epic and Epic sticky versions of Cranky and Sketchy can land. Sketchy symbols add values from 1x to 100x to the reels they sit on. The round starts with three lives, and every special symbol that lands resets them. When all the lives are gone, the values on each reel are added up and applied to your stake.

Four scatters at once start the Super Bonus. It opens with an Epic Drop that brings seven or more multiplier symbols onto the reels, then plays out like the regular Bonus. That stronger start is why the Super Bonus is where the 20,000× ceiling becomes reachable in principle, though results still vary enormously.

Hacksaw also offers paid options in some markets, including bonus buys, a Best of Bonus mode and BonusHunt FeatureSpins. Bonus buys are not offered to players in Great Britain. The help screen in your UK app lists which optional modes, if any, are switched on.

Chaos Crew 2 RTP: four possible versions

Hacksaw lists four RTP settings: 96.27%, 94.22%, 92.41% and 88.28%. The operator picks one. Over £100 staked, that's a long-run expected cost of about £3.73, £5.78, £7.59 or £11.72 depending on the version. The game looks identical in every case, so the only way to know is the rules screen.

Our guide to finding a slot's RTP in an app shows where to look, and the RTP range entry explains why studios supply several settings.

Playing a 5-of-5 volatility slot on a budget

Hacksaw's top volatility rating means long runs of small or no wins and occasional much larger ones. At 20p per spin, a £20 budget gives 100 spins; at 50p, 40 spins. Bonus rounds can take many spins to land, so a smaller stake gives you more chance of seeing one before the budget is spent.

Decide on a limit before you open the game and use the tools in your app, such as deposit limits and reality checks. Our safer gambling page explains each tool and where to find support.
