How To Play

The slot machine opens with a short intro that introduces the characters in this story. In the style of a comic book you will find them on the reels. We are talking about our hero Jack Hammer (who is always smiling when he isn’t fighting), Pearl (a beautiful singer), Don Crabby (who can be recognized by his crab claws) and Don’s evil goons (followers of evil and always ready for a fight).

Behind the reels lies Grand City, a city that illuminates at night. The silhouettes of a bridge and many high-rise buildings can be seen. Other game symbols represent parts of the story at the fishing port: the port itself, a motorboat, a tilted barrel, an empty pistol box and an old microphone.

Special Features

Gain time with the help of re-spins and free spins and finally defeat evil! With the appearance of three “Free Spin” symbols, the so-called “Sticky Win” feature is triggered. This means that all reels with the symbols already in a winning combination stop and the remaining reels will be turned again. This gives you the chance to make a higher profit, because the reels are turned again until new wins have been created.

Free spins are triggered by five or more “Free Spin” symbols. Ten to 20 free games can be won according to the number of symbols that appear. During the free spins, all wins are paid twice. In addition, randomly selected Extra Wild symbols will appear to contribute to additional winning combinations.

Gaming Experience

The sound effects and music are almost idyllic – especially since something evil is happening here. The player is accompanied by quiet sounds, such as birdsong and water noise at the docks. The situation is different when a winning combination appears on the reels. In this case, the city comes to life and a large orchestra plays for your triumph.

Those who believe that 99 paylines are not enough to create enough combinations and drive out the villains from the city can rest easily, as Jack Hammer 2 gives you wild symbols to support. These appear regularly and can compensate for incomplete combinations by substituting for other symbols. It is also possible to expand an existing combination with a wild symbol to get a higher win.

Conclusion

Jack Hammer 2 by NetEnt is easy for us to recommend. The set-up is intriguing and something we don’t see often in slots. The RTP is fairly high, and the gameplay doesn’t get stale very quickly. Compared to most of what’s available on the market today, it’s an easy game to get lost in.
