Jack Hammer 3 marks the return of a famous detective who has closed two sophisticated cases in the past. This time he is up against Madame Venom who stole one massive diamond. It’s been a long time since his last appearance, but that just means the detective returns refreshed and ready to fight the crime. And he brings an arsenal of tools, including its favorite Sticky Wins.
The first two installments in this franchise were both low value slots. They were released in 2010 and 2012, and a lot of things has changed since that time. Jack Hammer 3: Diamond Affair is a high volatility slot, but it comes at a cost as the RTP has been lowered to 96.08%. Not much changed graphics wise, and a decade old cartoonish style holds up really well. However, the overall atmosphere has become livelier.
Features
For this slot, NetEnt decided to utilize a more modern payout mechanism, which is the scatter pays. That’s one of the major changes compared to the previous installments. To land a win, players now need at least 8 similar symbols, and their position doesn’t matter as this is a scatter pays game. That’s why the layout was expanded to 5×6 plus one extra row on top that activates when the Mysterious Multiplier is triggered.
Sticky Wins
This is the feature that Jack Hammer 3 inherited from the previous installments. Whenever a winning combination lands or there are three bonus symbols, the Sticky Wins get activated. All the winning symbols stick and remain on their positions while the rest of the positions spin again. You get more respins as long as:
- More winning symbols land
- A new combination is formed
- Jack Hammer lands on the reels.
If none of the above happens, respins end. This feature is super useful as it often helps expand the winning combination or land more combinations. And overall, it adds that dynamic and keeps everything fun.
Jack Hammer and Mysterious Multiplier
The detective is neither a Wild nor a Bonus symbol. It plays a special role in this Jack Hammer 3 slot machine. When it appears, something is going to happen, and what exactly will happen depends on whether there are high or low paying combinations in the round.
- If the detective symbol lands when there’s a low-value winning combination, it upgrades all the winning symbols.
- If the detective symbol lands when there’s a high-value winning combination, it activates the Mysterious Multiplier for the winning symbol. That means for every 8 symbols they get +1 to the multiplier. And once the multiplier reaches x4, 20 symbols are required to upgrade to the next level.
Considering there are just 30 positions, it seems impossible to land enough symbols to upgrade to x4 let alone to x5 and higher multipliers. But the trick is, during the bonus game, the count doesn’t reset between the spins. So, you keep accumulating more of them as they form winning combinations.
Free Spins
5 bonus symbols award the smallest pack of 10 free spins. And for every extra scatter you get +2 spins. To boost the chances of entering free spins or hitting a bonus retrigger, the Sticky Wins feature gets activated whenever you have 3 bonus symbols.
The free spins aren’t much different than the main game, as there’s just one thing that boosts the win potential. When players enter free spins, they won’t have their Mysterious Multiplier reset between the rounds. And that means you can have some nice multipliers that will significantly boost the overall payout.
Feature Buy
Jack Hammer 3, being over a decade younger than its two predecessors, is the only one in the family that offers the bonus buy option. The price is x75, and you get 5 guaranteed bonus symbols for a pack of 10 free spins. But you can as well land more of them and grab some extra rounds.
Conclusion
There must be many players excited about Jack Hammer 3: Diamond Affair because this used to be a pretty popular franchise. NetEnt used the good old Sticky Wins and added some of the more modern stuff such as bonus buy, and scatter pays to make it relevant in today’s world.
