In October 2018, Hacksaw Gaming software developer rolled out a scratch game called Shave the Beard. Hacksaw is somewhat famous for their Scratch Card games, as they are always eager to come up with something new and unusual. This time around, we’re visiting a barbershop in a game that offers a straightforward gameplay and a standard design. This type of game will suit players who are looking for a traditional and simple playing experience. Unfortunately, the RTP of 75.32 % is incredibly low and unenticing.

Shave the Beard has a 3x3 layout which represents a classic scratch card. Hence, there are no reels or paylines. What’s more, there are no symbols we’re used to. The bet size cannot be changed, it is fixed and amounts to merely $1.00. When the game loads, the only thing for you to do is scratch away by clicking on the Buy button. You can opt to reveal one field at a time or press the Scratch All button. Enable Autoplay if you want the game to continue automatically.

As mentioned, there are no symbols spinning and landing on the reels. A bearded guy welcomes you and waits for a shave, so pick up the razor and give it a go. Once you reveal all the positions on the 3x3 grid, he will be rid of the beard and payouts will be issued in case you’ve obtained 3 matching symbols. Prizes range from as low as $0.50 up to $50,000.

Though the game doesn’t offer Wilds, Scatters, nor any of the Bonuses we hold so dear to our hearts, Shave the Beard offers a different kind of satisfaction. If you decide to shave off one field at a time, the suspense grows until you finally find out whether there are three matching sums on the screen.

Even though there are no special symbols, nor many features, Shave the Beard will provide a satisfactory playing experience to those who are fans of scratch cards. Taking into consideration that this game can award you with up to 50,000 coins, it’s definitely worth giving a shot at. Try it out on smartphone, tablet or even desktop, anytime you like.
