Hammer of Vulcan Theme – Audio & Design Features – join the ancient God of Fire

The setting in the Hammer of Vulcan slot is the flaming hot forge of Vulcan, God of Fire, which is buried deep below Mount Etna. With a Greek mythology theme, the sound and visuals are terrific as always. They’ve got a great reputation for design flair and it’s easy to see why. The soundtrack is heavy metal and compliments the fiery theme.

The reels are made up of stone A to 10 royals which appear alongside tongs, a shield, a helmet, swords and a chalice. The golden Golem is the most lucrative symbol. Land 3, 4, 5 or of these on adjoining reels on the same spin for an award of 2, 4.5, 6 or 12 x your total stake.

Those same amounts are on offer from the wild which also substitutes for all the standard symbols. Vulcan brandishing a mighty hammer is the hammer wild. This triggers the Hammer Wild feature which we’ll look at in detail below. The volcano is the bonus scatter.

Bonus Features in Hammer of Vulcan

The fiery theme of the Hammer of Vulcan slot is matched by some potentially volcanic features. The range isn’t massive but these extras can really pack a payout punch. They include the Hammer Strike feature which can turn whole reels wild as well as a Light the Forge Free Spins feature.

Hammer Strike feature

The Hammer Strike feature triggers every time you land a Hammer Wild symbol. All of the symbols below the triggering wild also turn wild and a payout calculation follows with all the wilds in position. The Hammer Wilds become even more powerful when they land during the free spins.

Light the Forge Free Spins feature

The main feature in Hammer of Vulcan is the Light the Forge Free Spins feature. It’s triggered in the usual manner by landing 3 or more volcano scatters anywhere on the reels on the same spin:

• 3 volcano scatters = 10 free spins
• 4 volcano scatters = 12 free spins
• 5 volcano scatters = 15 free spins
• 6 volcano scatters = 20 free spins

The free spins begin with the standard 1x multiplier in play. Hope to see plenty of the Hammer Wild symbol during the free spins. Each time a Hammer Wild hits, a multiplier increases by 1. This multiplier boost comes in addition to the Hammer Wild feature.

Re-triggers are possible here too. Landing 1, 2, 3 or 4 scatters on the same free spin will add another 1, 2, 4 or 6 extra free spins to your total.

If you last free spin doesn’t result in a winner, you’ll activate the Strike Again feature. The reels spin again until you do eventually create a winning combination.

Buy feature

In some territories, you’ll have the option to buy your way into the Light the Forge Free Spins feature via the Buy feature. This will cost you 80 x your total stake. The number of volcano scatters that land changes each time so there’s no way of knowing how many free spins you’ll get if you do decide to buy your way in.
