Jack Hammer 4 Chasing The Dragon Slot Review

About the Game

Jack Hammer™ 4: Chasing the Dragon is a 6-reel, 6-row video slot with Cluster Pays™ mechanics, Sticky Win™ feature with re-spins, 4 Wild features, 4 special features in free spins and Elevate feature with 5 options.

Video

The game is played in clusters of symbols, and wins are awarded for clusters of 6 or more identical symbols. A symbol is considered part of a cluster if it is placed next to the same symbol horizontally or vertically. Only the highest winnings in a cluster are paid out.

The win per cluster is equal to the value shown in the paytable multiplied by any applicable multiplier. The symbol payouts shown in the paytable are dynamic and change according to the selected bet value.

Sticky Win™ Feature

The Sticky Win™ feature is activated in the main game and entitles you to a re-spin. The feature is activated when at least one win cluster symbol and/or 3 Scatter symbols appear on the reels.

During the re-spins, the win cluster symbol and/or Scatter symbols remain on the reels until the end of the re-spins. Another re-spin is activated when another symbol or symbols are added to the win cluster, or a fourth Scatter symbol appears on the reels. The re-spins end when no new symbol is added to the cluster wins or no Scatter symbols appear on the reels. When all positions on the reels are filled, another re-spin is activated and the Sticky Win™ feature ends. Winnings are awarded for the last re-spin.

Re-spins are played at the same bet as the round that activated the re-spins.

Wild Features

There are four corner positions on the reels, which can only be filled by the Question symbol or various types of wild symbols. When any corner position becomes part of a winning combination, the wild symbol activates the corresponding Wild feature from the table below:

	Multiplier Wild Feature	Wild multiplier symbols with multipliers having random values x2, x3, x5, x10.
	Upgrader Wild Feature	The Enhancement symbol improves the symbols of a winning combination in a cluster to a type with a higher payout.
	Cash Prize Wild Feature	The Wild Cash Prize symbol randomly awards a win of 0.5, 1, 1.5 or 2.5 bets. The “Wild Cash Prize” winnings are added to the winnings of the cluster that activated the feature.
	Expander Wild Feature	The Expansion symbol adds up to 4 symbols to the winning combination of the cluster that activated the feature.

The Question symbol is transformed into a Wild symbol and its function is activated according to the table below:

	Multiplier Wild Feature	Multiplier Wild symbols with multipliers having random values of x30 or x50.
	Upgrader Wild Feature Super Upgrader Wild Feature	Upgrader Wild or Super Upgrader Wild symbol. The Super Upgrader Wild symbol increases the winning combination symbols in a cluster to the type with the highest payout.
	Cash Prize Wild Feature	The Super Cash Prize Wild symbol randomly awards a win of 10 or 25 times the bet. The Super Cash Prize Wild winnings are added to the winnings of the cluster that activated the feature.
	Expander Wild Feature Super Expander Wild Feature	Expander Wild or Super Expander Wild symbol. The Super Expander Wild symbol adds up to 16 symbols to the winning combination of the cluster that activated the feature.

If a win in a cluster activates multiple Wild features at the same time, they are activated in the following order: Expander Wild/Super Expander Wild, Upgrader Wild/Super Upgrader Wild, Multiplier Wild and Cash Prize Wild/Super Cash Prize Wild.

When Upgrader Wild/Super Upgrader Wild and/or Expander Wild/Super Expander Wild and/or Expander Wild/Super Expander Wild are activated, the winning cluster is immediately increased and/or expanded. When Multiplier Wild and/or Cash Prize Wild/Super Cash Prize Wild is activated, the multiplier is applied and/or added to the total winnings after the end of the re-spins.

Wild symbols substitute for all symbols except Scatter symbols. Wild symbol substitution brings the maximum winning combination in a cluster according to the pay table.

Free Spins

Five Scatter symbols appearing anywhere on the reels bring 3 free spins. Free spins start with 3 multiplier symbols in the game area after all wins in the main game have been counted and paid. During the free spins only x1, x2, x3, x4, x5, x6, x7, x8, x9, x10, x25, x50, x100 multiplier symbols can appear on the reels. Each multiplier that lands on the reels is added to the total winnings counter. Each time a multiplier symbol falls on the reels during free spins, the number of free spins in the free spins counter is reset to 3.

During the free spins, four different features (Unlock, Generate, Double and Collect) appear randomly in all four corner positions of the playing field and remain on the reels until the end of the free spins. The features are activated when at least one multiplier symbol falls in any position adjacent to a corner position.

The Unlock feature can only be activated twice during free spins. The first time the function is activated, the top row is added to the playing area. At the second activation of the “Unlock” function, the bottom row is added to the playing area.

When the Generate feature is activated, 3 multiplier symbols appear randomly on any empty positions on the reels. If there are less than 3 empty positions on the reels, the number of multipliers is equal to the number of empty positions available. The function can be activated up to three times before the “Collect” function is activated.

The “Double” function doubles the values of all multipliers that activate the “Double” function, as well as the multipliers adjacent to it. The function can be activated up to three times before the “Collect” function is activated.

When the Collect feature is activated, all multipliers present on the reels are added and removed from the reels. The value of the added multipliers is displayed by the Collect symbol and is applied to the total Free Spins winnings at the end of the Free Spins.

If more than one Free Spins feature is activated at the same time, they are activated in the following order: Generate feature, Unlock feature, Double feature, Collect feature. The value of a Collect feature symbol is doubled if it is adjacent to a multiplier doubled by the Double feature in the same round. Note: the Collect symbol itself does not count as a multiplier.

At the end of the free spins, all multipliers present on the reels are added to the sum of multipliers in the total win counter and multiplied by the bet.

Free spins are played at the same bet as the round that activated the free spins and the free spins end when the free spins counter reaches 0. At the end of the free spins, the total winnings from the free spins are added to any winnings from the round that activated the free spins and the game reverts to the round that activated the free spins.
