Hammer of Vulcan

Travel to the east coast of Sicily for an intense encounter with the God of Fire on the slot from Quickspin. Hammer of Vulcan is taking you deep into Mount Etna on a highly volatile reel ride with wild substitutions, a Hammer Strike feature turning symbols wild and a Light the Forge! Free Spins round with progressive multipliers that can lead to wins of up to 20,347 times your bet. 

Update 24th September 2020: The game has been pre-released exclusively at Mr Green. It will go global as planned on 10th October 2020.

Slot Details

Hammer of Vulcan is a video slot with six reels, four rows and 4,096 ways to win. Pays are awarded for three to six matching symbols on adjacent reels from left to right. You can dare to step into the raging volcano on desktop and mobile from 0.10 to 100 credits per spin. The game has maximum volatility (5/5) with a slightly below-average RTP of 95.81%.

Vulcan is the god of fire in Roman mythology and is mostly depicted with a blacksmith’s hammer. Accordingly, Quickspin created an intense scenery set in a forgery with flames blazing, symbol blocks falling from the top and Vulcan hitting his hammer during the gameplay and free spins. Equally intense is the soundtrack with dramatic noises when Vulcan wields his hammer to transform symbols into wilds.

The pay symbols start at the low end with blazing card royals from 10 through to A in Roman style, awarding 2x to 3x your stake for a single six of a kind. They are followed by tongs, shields, helmets, swords, chalices and a Gold Golem bust. Hit six across the reels to win 4.5x to 12x your bet. A blazing W is the standard wild while Vulcan is the hammer wild, substituting for all regular pay symbols. They will also yield 12x your stake for six. A fire-spewing volcano marked with ‘Bonus’ acts as the scatter.

Hammer of Vulcan Slot Features

Quickspin chose a mighty deity from Roman mythology for this intense reel brawl that apparently surpasses the already extreme volatility of some of their other creations such as Nero’s Fortune and Wild Cauldron. Unsurprisingly, they made the powerful blacksmith hammer the star of the gameplay that will be core to scoring those megawins of up to 20,347x bet.

Any time the Vulcan Wild symbol lands on any reel in the base game and free spins will trigger the Hammer Strike. Vulcan will unleash his godly powers and hit the hammer on all symbol below him on the same reel to transform them into standard wild symbols for the current round and provide the extra potential to score bigger wins. Worth noting is that he can land on all reels, so brace for some blazing mayhem when you see him landing.

Hitting three, four, five or six volcano scatters anywhere on the reels will trigger the Light The Forge! bonus game with 10, 12, 15 and 20 Free Spins respectively. During the feature, one to four scatters landing on a free spin will add +1 to +6 free spins, no limits. Plus, every Vulcan Wild appearing will increase the win multiplier by x1 in addition to the wild transformation, again, no limits as to how high the multiplier can increase.

And there is one more extra feature that could have quite an impact on your total winnings from the bonus round. Should the last free spin not deliver a win, then the Strike Again! feature triggers, awarding indefinitely one free spin until a win lands.

To my knowledge, Hammer of Vulcan is the first-ever slot from Quickspin to offer a Bonus Buy button, although only in jurisdictions where they are not yet restricted. It will cost you a one-time amount of 80x your base bet and start a spin where three to six scatters will land guaranteed. The feature plays in an identical fashion as after an organic trigger.

Final Verdict

Hammer of Vulcan is yet another fine slot creation to emanate from the creative studios of Quickspin. The visuals and animations are stunning while the gameplay will most please the high-volatility fans. Just like it was often the in the old Roman times, this is a do or die slot that will either mercilessly diminish your balance or deliver megawins worthy of a godly deity. May the lucky gods be on your side.
