Free slot: Wild Hammer Megaways

How Wild Hammer Megaways works

We are back in the world of Norse mythology! Odin, Thor, Freyja, Loki and his son/wolf Fenrir are waiting for you in a small house by the water. They seem to be there to help you get Thor's hammer, a real must-have to hit the jackpot!

Wild Hammer Megaways is a slot game developed and published by online game provider iSoftbet. It has been available at most online casinos since 21 July 2021. Wild Hammer Megaways has an average payout ratio (RTP) of almost 96%. Its volatility is very high and its maximum win potential is more than impressive with the possibility of winning up to 50,000 times the starting bet! The starting grid is quite similar to those of the revisited Megaways slots. Indeed, iSoftbet has decided to base this slot around this technology and in a rather intelligent way. There are 6 reels randomly composed of 2 to 6 symbols in addition to the famous horizontal reel of 4 symbols, placed on top of the grid. This format brings the total number of ways to a maximum of 117,649 ways! As is the case with most grids using this format, the connections are made in cascades. This means that the symbols used in a payout connection are removed to drop symbols from above or from the right for the horizontal reel. A rather original feature is present in Wild Hammer Megaways: the Wild Hammer. When 2 or more identical symbols appear on the horizontal reel, they and any identical symbols on the vertical reels become Wild.

The different Megaways Wild Hammer symbols

In addition to the Wild Hammer symbols that can appear through the eponymous feature and the Scatter, there are 10 symbols in Wild Hammer Megaways. They are divided into two distinct categories:

• High value symbols, otherwise known as premium symbols, are represented by Odin, Thor, Freyja, Loki and the wolf Fenrir. They are rarer, but pay a lot;

• Low value symbols, also called common symbols, are represented by the high values of a deck (10-J-Q-K-A). They appear much more often, but pay less.

Above are the potential payouts in coins depending on the number of ways.

The different connections in Wild Hammer Megaways

Many connections are possible on Wild Hammer Megaways. There are no predefined paylines in this slot. You have to line up identical symbols on adjacent reels. This way system is becoming more and more common and is quite simple to understand. Connections are made from left to right with a minimum of 3 reels having an identical symbol. As soon as a symbol is used in a payline connection, it is removed from the grid. This allows new symbols to drop in its place and potentially string together new connections with no set limits. The horizontal reel drops new symbols from the right when a symbol is removed. The image below can help you understand this connection system with a paying example and an example without a valid connection.

How the Wild Hammer Megaways Bonus works

Getting 4 Scatter symbols on a single pay spin triggers the Wild Hammer Megaways bonus. You will be given a choice of 4 colourful banners. In effect, you can decide on your bonus setup or let luck make the decision for you with the possibility of getting a better combo than what is offered or the worst possible one... Each choice offers a number of free spins and a starting multiplier:

• Blue = 10 free spins and a x1 starting multiplier;

• Green = 8 free spins and a starting multiplier x3 ;

• Red = 5 free spins and a starting multiplier x5;

• Purple = The mystery offers a random combination of 5-10 free spins and x1-x5 as a starting multiplier.

For the duration of the bonus, the multiplier acts on all winnings and is not reset. In fact, it increases by 1 for each paid connection. By cascading several wins, the multiplier can be increased considerably. Each Scatter symbol that appears on the grid during the bonus grants you an additional free spin and this is the only form of retrigger present on this bonus. If you don't want to wait to get 4 Scatters on a base game spin, you have the option to buy the free spins bonus directly. The price is set at 75 times the starting bet and a spin will be launched with the guarantee of getting 4 Scatter symbols.
