Jack Hammer

Jack Hammer is a gritty private eye, with a broken nose and a big gun. He is doing his darndest to rid the city of evil scientist Dr Wuten, who seems intent on poisoning us in our beds!
Jack Hammer is a Net Ent 15-reel 25-payline slot. It looks brilliant, like an authentic luridly-coloured 1930’s comic book. Or perhaps a novella. They called them ‘penny dreadfuls’ in great granddad’s day, but there’s nothing dreadful about this game, quite the contrary!

Bright, pin sharp colours, a cartoon city skyline, speech bubbles for the payline numbers – the whole theme makes a great change from the dull orange and lemon slots out there – no names mentioned, but you know what I’m talking about!

The sound effects are totally themed too, helping to ramp up the tension with the rustling of papers, a rising crescendo of noise on the Sticky Wins bonus and a sleazy saxophone for when you win.
The symbols are in also in fabulous comic-book style, the sort of tomes with a big ‘five cents’ on the cover, and totally in keeping with the rest of this well-designed game. They include the appropriately chisel-jawed Jack Hammer himself, along with his vintage car; brilliant baddie Dr Wuten and his insane airship; a glamorous assistant; a paperboy and a copy of the paper; a ringing telephone; and a jar of nasty-looking poison. Wild symbols are a splendid explosion; freespins are on the scatter, which is an ominously ticking bomb!

An affectionate homage to the typical Hollywood private eye movie, you don’t have to be Philip Marlowe to solve the mystery of why people get a kick out of playing this slot. It’s a sure bet that this will one day be as soar-away successful as the wings of a real Maltese Falcon, and even more impressive!

It is worth clicking on the Paytable button just to see the brilliant graphics that continue the theme of this imaginative slot. There are also Autoplay and Skillstop features, and you can change your bet and coin value by clicking the buttons at the bottom of the screen.

Your winnings come up beneath the reels, but I think it would have added to the excitement if it gave a running total while ramping up the cash from Sticky Wins, instead of just the total.
The Sticky Wins feature is a great one, and comes up very frequently, really multiplying your chances of winning and making every spin an important one.

Sticky Wins are activated by a winning betline or three freespin scatter symbols – the bomb. The winning reels are held and everything else spins again. And they keep spinning until there are no more wins.

The bonus round is a freespins feature, activated by the bomb symbol. You can get up to 30 freespins, depending on how many bombs came up – 15 is the highest. All winnings from freespins are tripled.

This is not a fast and furious slot but a classy well-paced one, and in the tradition of the great ‘films noir’ it oozes pure class from every atmospheric pore!
