Jack Hammer

Jack Hammer is an a fitting name for Net Entertainment’s recently launched 15 reel video slot. Based on a private detective named Jack Hammer the 25 payline slot takes on a comic book theme. It features an innovative ‘sticky wins’ feature, wild symbols, free spins and the chance to win an eye-popping 250,000 coin jackpot!

Jack Hammer Slot Theme

The full title is Jack Hammer Vs. Evil Dr. Wuten and at first glance appears to be a 5 reel slot. It’s not until you spin the reels you discover that each icon is actually it’s own reel, this is essential for the sticky wins feature which will talk about more later.

The entire slot looks like it has been lifted right from a traditional comic with even the background has received the themed ‘city’ treatment. The 15 reels include icons which jump into life when a winning combo is formed. These include Jack Hammer, Evil Dr. Wuten, an Evil Zeppelin, a ringing phone, a chemical filled beaker, a paper boy, a car chase icon and more.

The designers have chosen some decent sound effects to compliment the action on the reels, they haven’t smothered the slot with sound which in my opinion is the perfect choice. Less certainly is more when sound effects are concerned, especially on a slot of this calibre.

Coin values vary from 0.01 to 1 with up to 5 coins available to play for each of the 25 paylines. This makes the betting range 0.01 to 250 in £/$/€. This makes Jack hammer an ideal slot for a variety of gamblers, cautious play, playing for fun and higher stakes gamblers will all find a bet level suitable for them.

The spin button includes Net Ent’s spin/stop option which allows eagled eyed players to stop the reels by pressing the button. Auto spins can also be set up using the button on the left.

Jack Hammer Slot Features

Five or more free spins icons anywhere on the reels starts the free spins feature. You are briefly presented with a comic strip with Jack Hammers ‘mission’. At the end another strip appears with the outcome and total winnings from the feature. The minimum number of free spins is 10 with the maximum of 30 being awarded when 9 to 15 icons appear on the reels.

The ‘pow’ style wild icon substitutes for all other symbols except scatters, it is the simplest of three features but undoubtedly the most powerful when used in conjunction with the sticky wins feature.

The strongest selling point for Jack Hammer is Net Ent’s brand new ‘sticky wins’ feature. When a winning combination is formed the reel respin keeping the winning combination in place, this trend continues if more wins are added which creates bigger wins. This explains the need for 15 reels as each one can be held or spun to create more wins. It’s a great feature which will undoubtedly be included in future Net Ent video slots.
