Jack Hammer 2 Slot Review

Jack Hammer 2 slot game is NetEnt’s exciting sequel to the popular slot Jack Hammer. Titled Fishy Business, it keeps the plot of the original game with its cartoon-like graphics, but it is enriched with many new and unexpected features.

Just like the original release, Jack Hammer 2 has sticky wins enabling winning combinations to stick to the reel set while the reels spin again making it possible to get additional winning symbols for a better win. The biggest difference between the two releases is the number of paylines; the original game has 25 paylines, while the sequel has 99 paylines.

Jack Hammer 2 Slot Game

Jack Hammer 2 slot begins with a comic-like animation that tells the story of the brave detective Jack Hammer and his fight against the new villains. NetEnt have transferred many of the features from the original release to this version as well, together with the high-quality animations and graphics. The game has 5 reels in three rows with 99 fixed paylines offering numerous opportunities for a win.

The game has no standard symbols on the reels, but instead uses well designed comic characters for both the low-value and high-value symbols. The low-value symbols, in ascending order, start with a microphone and notes, then violin case for a tommy gun, barrels full of fish, followed by a speedboat with the kidnapped singer, and ending with the villain’s hideout.

The game’s four high-value symbols are the game’s characters; the lowest-value symbol are the main villain’s accomplices, Goons, followed by their leader, Don Crabby, then comes their victim, the beautiful singer Pearl, and, finally, the game’s protagonist Jack Hammer, as the highest-value symbol.

The Wild symbol in the main game is a yellow pop-art styled “Wild” with flying cog wheels around it. It can substitute for all symbols except for the Free Spin symbol.

The Free Spin symbol is an electric eel set against a green background with “Free Spins” below it and activates the Free pins round.

There are two additional Wild symbols that appear randomly during the Free Spins round and they substitute for all symbols except for the regular Wild symbol and Free Spins symbols.

How To Play Jack Hammer 2

Jack Hammer 2 slot game is played with 99 fixed paylines with 10 different bet levels and 6 coin values. You can set the bet level – number of coins that you play with each spin – by clicking the green arrows on both sides of the Bet Level box. The coin value, or the amount of money a single coin is worth, can also be changed by clicking on the green arrows on both sides of the Coin Value box. The video slot offers the following coin values: 0.01, 0.02, 0.05, 0.10, 0.20, and 0.50. By multiplying the bet level with the coin value, you can get the amounts of the minimum and maximum bets: the minimum bet is 50p, while the maximum bet amounts to £250.

After selecting your total bet, you can set off the reels by pressing the Spin button – round green button with two inverted arrows on it at the bottom centre of the screen. The game has a Max Bet button that allows you to automatically bet the highest bet level, but you will have to choose the coin value in advance because the reels start spinning immediately after you click “Spin”.

The game’s Autoplay feature allows you to select a certain number of rounds to be played automatically without interruption. By pressing Autoplay on the left of the Spin button, a menu appears with a pre-set number of rounds. Before selecting the number of rounds, make sure to select your bet level and coin size, because the reels start spinning immediately after pressing the number. To exit the Autoplay feature, just press Stop in the Autoplay menu.

Jack Hammer 2 Bonus Features

Sticky Wins

This bonus feature is activated when you win a prize on one of the paylines or when you land 3 or more of the Free Spin symbols. The reels containing the winning combination and symbols will stick and the rest of the reels will re-spin giving you a chance to expand the number of winning symbols and increase your winnings. The reels will spin as long as extra Sticky winnings were provided by the previous spin or when additional symbols are added to the winning combination of symbols. When a new Sticky symbol is not landed with the spin, the Sticky Wins mode ends and all winnings are added to your credit.

Free Spins

The Free Spins mode is activated by the Free Spin symbols. Landing 5 or more of these symbols on random reels will activate the Free Spins mode. These spins will be played with the bet level and coin value of the round during which the Free Spins mode was activated. Any wins on a win line that you spin during the Free Spins mode will be doubled. When you land 5 or more of these symbols during the Free Spin mode, you are awarded additional Free Spins to play longer in this mode. The Free Spins multiplier does not multiply the Extra Free spins that are awarded during the Free Spin mode.
