Could the Sequel Live up to the Original?
I was a bit apprehensive when I heard that another Jack Hammer 2 Video Slot was going to be made by Netent. I was a big fan of the original Jack Hammer game because I won so much money in the past. However, we all know that sequels hardly ever live up to the original.
However, I had to give Jack Hammer 2 a try so I took a deep breath and deposited some money at my favorite online casino. I liked the theme behind Jack Hammer 2 Video Slot and I was glad to be entertained with a video. The game opens with a short Jack Hammer Video Slot movie. Like the slot game graphics, the movie is based on 1950s comic book pop art. I won't give the ending away for you but I can tell you that Jack Hammer 2 has a new foe.
Was I Losing Everything?
My amusement was very short lived though. I was happy that the slot game had funky, pop art graphics and all my favorite characters were back on the symbols. However, as soon as the reels started spinning my money started draining away. I wasn't winning anything in the beginning and this really upset me. I thought with 99 bet lines I was sure to win something. Luckily my agony was short lived. As the game continued I started to win more and more. I was also very happy with all the free spin symbols that were popping up. I often got 3 or more free spin symbols that triggered the sticky win. What I found so interesting was that 2 new Wilds were activated during the free spin rounds. Wilds, throughout the game, will substitute all other symbols except for the Free Play symbols. This made winning so much more easy.
Funky Symbols
The symbols themselves helped me feel like I was part of the Jack Hammer universe. Symbols included Jack Hammer, his love interest Pearl as well as the villain Don Crabby and his goons. Other symbols include speedboats, empty gun cases and a dark dock. All of this helps create the atmosphere of the Jack Hammer 2 Video Slot game.
Try it out
The Jack Hammer 2 Video Slot game actually lived up to the original slot game. It was a lot of fun and I really enjoyed it. I was actually surprised how much I won at the end of the game. I'll definitely be giving it a try again.
