Free slot: Hammer of Gods

How Hammer of Gods works

To attract new players to their slot machines, suppliers use many different themes: Egypt, football, cinema or music, everything goes. For Hammer of Gods, the Peter & Sons studio, working in collaboration with the giant Yggdrasil, has decided to take you to the heart of Northern Europe where valiant Vikings await you to fight and defend their treasure. In the middle of a valley surrounded by mountains, a ship full of gold awaits you with open arms. When you enter this slot, you will find a starting grid of 3 horizontal rows and 6 vertical columns. The connections work in the classic way and there are features and bonus rounds on this slot machine.

The first feature you'll see is that you can multiply your winnings on every spin you complete. Each time a new spin is started, x2 multipliers are given to certain symbols. If these are part of a payline connection, your final win on the line will be multiplied by the associated multiplier.

The second feature works with the wild symbols. As soon as the blue wild symbol appears and is part of a connection, then a lightning bolt will be sent to the shield that is present on the left of your screen.

As soon as the shield is hit three times by lightning, the feature will send multiple wild symbols to your entire starting grid, as you can see in the following screen.

The different symbols of Hammer of Gods

Hammer of Gods is a slot machine that has several symbols. First of all, this slot has two wild symbols: The first wild will send a lightning bolt to the shield every time it appears, as well as being able to connect with all the other symbols in the slot, except the scatter.

The second wild connects with all the other symbols in the slot and also sends a lightning bolt to the shield, only if it is part of a payline.

Then there are 6 premium symbols. These are called premium symbols because they appear less often than the other symbols, but they pay more consistently when they are part of a connection. The symbols used are characters from the Viking era. The following screen shows the value of each symbol for a starting bet of €1.

In addition to these wild symbols, the Hammer of Gods slot has 6 non-premium symbols. As you might expect, these are called non-premium symbols because they appear more often than the other symbols, but pay less consistently when they are part of a connection. To represent these symbols, the strongest values of a pack of cards have been used, namely: Ace, King, Queen, Jack, 10 and 9. The following screen shows the value of each symbol for a starting bet of €1.

The different connections of Hammer of Gods

Hammer of Gods is a slot machine that works with adjacent connections. This means that for a connection to occur, a symbol must appear at least once in the first three columns of your slot machine. The further a symbol goes on your starting grid, the bigger your final win will be. The following screen shows a valid and an invalid connection. On your left is shown a working connection, while on the right you can understand the principle of a non-functioning connection.

It is important to note that the connections on the Hammer of Gods slot only work from left to right. In total, there are almost 729 different paylines available in this Yggdrasil creation.

How the Hammer of Gods bonus works

As mentioned in the introduction to this slot, Hammer of Gods has a bonus feature. To trigger it, you need to get at least three times the scatter symbol on one spin.

Once the symbols are obtained, you will be entitled to 15 free spins. Your payouts work just like your free spins, except that the 15 free spins can end well beyond that if luck is not on your side. Indeed, as long as the shield feature that puts many wilds on your starting grid has not been activated at least once during your bonus, your free spins do not stop. They will only end when this feature appears.

Our opinion on Hammer of Gods

This is not the first time that Yggdrasil works in collaboration with Peter&Sons studios and once again the work done is remarkable. First of all, the graphic beauty of this slot must be underlined. Moreover, the sound atmosphere will plunge you directly into the heart of this historical era. The slot itself, you will not be bored. Many features are present in the base game while bonus rounds can also be unlocked. In the bonus rounds, you can win up to 51,000 times your original bet thanks to a very high volatility. As far as the RTP (theoretical return to players) is concerned, this is 96.06%, which places it in the middle of the other slot machines on the market. The only negative point of this slot machine is the lack of a bonus buy-in feature.
