Theme – Audio & Design Features – join Viking hordes in search of gold 

Peter & Sons have created some of the most memorably designed games and the Hammer of Gods slot is another cracker when it comes to sound and visuals. With a Norse mythology theme, the backstory is that the gods are feasting on the mountains of Durmir where a war is about to break out below them. The Viking hordes arrive cashing gold if they survive and honour if they die in battle.

As usual, the trademark colourful, cartoon imagery is present and correct here. The terrific visuals are backed by a cracking soundtrack that really ramps up the atmosphere. Once again, Peter & Sons have delivered a superbly designed game.

Flanked by mountains, the reels are set upon a Viking longboat which is loaded with gold and treasure.  On those reels, you’ll find A to 9 royals and 5 fearsome character symbols. The best of the crew is Thor who pays 20 x your total stake if you land 6 in combination.

Thor’s hammer is the wild. This substitutes for all the standard symbols when it forms part of a winning combo. Finally, there’s the gold shield which is the scatter. Land 3, 4, 5 or 6 of these anywhere on the reels and you’ll scoop a payout of 2, 10, 100 or 500 x your total stake. You’ll also trigger the bonus round which I’ll look at below.

Hammer of Gods is available to play on all devices including desktop, tablet and mobiles. Produced with HTML5 technology, this game actually looks superb on handheld devices, more so than most other slot providers.

Hammer of Gods Bonus Features

Peter & Sons has delivered a decent amount of variety when it comes to gameplay in this Norse epic. With 3 bonus features, multipliers, re-spins with added wilds and free spins with even more potential multipliers all feature in Hammer of Gods.

Re-Spin feature

To the side of the reels, you’ll see a meter. Each time a special wild symbol lands, 1 position in that meter is illuminated. When all 3 positions have been lit, the Re-Spin feature is triggered. Then a re-spin is awarded with the 3 wilds collected in the meter dropping on to random positions on the reels.

Way Multiplier feature

On each spin, a random assortment of positions on the reels will benefit from a multiplier boost of 2x, 3x or 4x. If that position forms part of a winning combination, the Way Multiplier feature is triggered and the payout is boosted by the multiplier from that position. This is similar to the xWays feature in some Nolimit City slots like San Quentin.

Better still, is if you manage to land more than 1 multiplier in the same winner. When that happens, the total value of the multipliers are combined to deliver an even bigger payout boost. For example, landing 2x and 4x multipliers in the same winner means a payout boost of 8x.

Free Spins feature

Trigger the Free Spins feature by landing 3 or more gold shield scatter symbols anywhere on the reels on the same spin. 3, 4, 5 or 6 will pay 2, 10, 100 or 500 x your total stake by the way. Furthermore, your reward is 15 free spins.

During the free spins, all way multipliers are worth 4x which means even bigger potential payout boosts. Once again, they can combine for even bigger boosts. Also boosting your winning chances is the fact that at least 1 wild is guaranteed to land on each free spin.

Just like in the base game, the Wild Collect is active during the free spins. Fill the meter and re-spins are awarded with 3 wilds dropping into play. If there are wilds present in the meter when you use your final free spin, even more free spins are awarded until you’ve collected enough special wilds to fill the meter and trigger a final re-spin.

Finally, unlimited retriggers are possible here too. Land 3 scatters and another round of 15 free spins is added to your total.

Hammer of Gods Review Summary – 51,000 x stake wins possible on each spin

The Hammer of Gods slot is very nicely done. This slice or Norse legend It combines some top-class design with a very decent array of extras.

The Way Multiplier feature works like Nolimit City’s xWays mechanic in some ways which is always a good thing. However, the bigger wins will come in the free spins as the way multipliers are always 4x meaning bigger potential returns. Saying that, it will take 203 spins on average to trigger the Free Spins feature.

The 51,000 x stake max win per spin is big for sure but it’s a highly volatile game. This number was produced by Peter & Sons in simulation and takes approximately 1 billion spins to achieve. In summary, take aim with Hammer of Gods if you like a good old Scandinavian saga.

If you’re looking for a hammer win, Peter & Son’s very own Robin: Nottingham Raiders can pay up to 150,000 x stake per free spin. Alternatively, NetEnt’s Starburst XXXtreme can dish out galactic payouts up to 200,000 x your total stake on each re-spin. This is due to the multipliers that can combine up to 450x.
