Wild Hammer Megaways Review

iSoftBet has plenty of experience with the Megaways engine already, and they tend to vary between playing it safe and being experimental. Probably not the worst strategy overall, and Wild Hammer Megaways falls into the first category. It does come with a somewhat innovative Wild Match feature however, but the end result is random wilds spread across at least 2 reels, including the triggering symbols on top horizontal reel.

Visually, the game has a blockbuster vibe, and famous Norse gods like Freya, Loki, Fenrir, Thor and Odin are all epicly depicted on their respective symbols. The 50,000x potential is also pretty epic, and the only minor “flaw” in the math model is the 95.78 % RTP. You get 4 options in the unlimited progressive multiplier bonus round, and those not hankering for massive innovation will probably enjoy this installment.

Wild Hammer Megaways Features

Mjolnir, Thor’s famous hammer, serves as the wild symbol, and given the title of the game that is hardly a surprise. It steps in for all regular pay symbols to help you form winning combos, and winning symbols are always removed from the grid via the Cascading Wins feature. New and/or existing symbols drop down to fill the gaps, and this process repeats as long as you keep winning.

Whenever at least 2 matching symbols slide in on the top horizontal reel, you trigger the Wild Match feature.

You’ll see lightning bolts strike the relevant reels, turning the 2+ matching symbols, and any instances on the affected reels below, into wild symbols. You can expect a Wild Match feature once every 25 spins on average.

You need to land 4 scatters anywhere in sight to trigger the Bonus Round, and you get 4 options before the feature starts:

• 10 free spins with an increasing win multiplier that starts a x1.
• 8 free spins with an increasing win multiplier that starts a x3.
• 5 free spins with an increasing win multiplier that starts a x5.
• Mystery option - a randomized combination of the above.

The progressive win multiplier increases by +1 per cascading win, and it never resets during the feature. Each scatter you land in the bonus round awards +1 free spin to your tally. Finally, non-UK players can purchase the free spins round for 75x the stake, and in that context, it’s good to know that it triggers organically once every 253 spins on average.

The 200 Spins Wild Hammer Megaways Experience

We’ve included a few cascading wins from the base game, before we purchase the bonus round at 0:45 into the 2 and a half minute highlights video. We went with the Mystery option, and this gave us 5 spins with a x5 starting multiplier.

Same as the most volatile option in other words, and you can see how we fared by hitting the play button below.

Review Summary

We’ve seen experimental Megaways releases from iSoftBet before, but Wild Hammer Megaways plays it safe in both the theme and features department. The Norse mythology visuals are presented in an epic way, with the most prominent gods powerfully depicted on the reels. What truly saves the day is the fact that this game has a math model to match the epicness of the theme, as the 50,000x potential places it in the top-tier of Megaways releases.

We really would have liked to see at least one more heavy-hitting feature in the base game though, as the Wild Match thing, slightly innovative as it might be, isn’t all that effective many times. The bonus round is fairly standard stuff, although having options is always fun, and fans of the genre will probably enjoy this installment even though it hardly brings anything new to the table.

Pros

• Wild Match feature in all stages of the game
• FS w/ unlimited progressiv win multiplier
• 3 options of starting multiplier and free spins
• Win up to 50,000x your stake

Cons

• The 95.78 % RTP is a bit below average
