Hammer of Vulcan

Get ready for a memorable trip into the hot bowels of the Earth, this will surely be a journey you will remember! The mighty Vulcan, the God of Fire, is waiting for you deep below Mount Etna, where he is forging weapons and jewelry for the other gods. 

The developers at Quickspin have taken this myth from Ancient Rome and created Hammer of Vulcan, a spectacular video slot with plenty of fire and might. Now let’s see just how hot the temperature is deep down in Vulcan’s workshop. 

Theme

The reels are placed right on top of Vulcan’s giant anvil, located deep down inside the volcano that has made Mount Etna famous. The perspective that the player has is from below the anvil, with the top of the volcano visible above and plenty of stones and lava on either side. 

I have to say that everything looks spectacular in this game, the background is amazing while the animations are really impressive as well. The heavy metal music adds a great vibe to the whole thing, making playing this game a truly immersive experience. 

Betting Options and Functions

The game is played on 6 reels and 4 rows, with no less than 4,096 ways to win. Winning combinations can start on any of the grid’s edges, all you need is three matching symbols on adjacent reels. 

You can be Vulcan’s apprentice for just 10 cents per spin, and if you are not a low roller you can get your bet up to 100 euros. The volatility of this product is high, so you should have some patience while playing it. 

The return to player percentage of this title is 95.81, slightly below industry average. 

Features

Things will heat up quite easily in this legendary workshop, you just won’t have time to get bored. For instance, whenever a Hammer Wild lands on the reels, the mighty Vulcan will perform a Hammer Strike and turn all the symbols below the Hammer Wild into regular Wilds! 

The Volcano Scatter symbols are quite important as well, because they are the only ones that can trigger the Light the Forge! bonus game. This offers you between 10 and 20 free spins, and whenever another Volcano symbol lands it will add another few free rolls to the session. 

The Hammer Strike feature plays a big part in the free spins as well, whenever it kicks in it adds a lucrative +1 to the multiplier, which can go really high as it has no limit whatsoever! 

The best thing about the free spins round in this game is that it will never leave you with a disappointing final roll. In fact, if the last spin is not a winning one you will see the Strike Again! feature kick in, which will repeat that final free spin until it becomes a successful one! 

Last but not least, you can try the Bonus Buy button at any time during the game, you will have to pay 80 times the stake to see between 3 and 6 Scatters land on the next spin. This is the first Quickspin game that has this feature included. 

Conclusion

Hammer of Vulcan is a very intense video slot from Swedish company Quickspin, it has amazing graphics but once you get past the initial awe you will surely become immersed in the fast-paced gameplay. 

Heading down into Vulcan’s forge is not for the faint of heart, though, players will have to be prepared for high volatility and some pretty big potential wins as well.
