We are heading back to the realms of Norse Mythology once again with Wild Hammer Megaways developed by iSoftBet. Inspired by Thor the God of Thunder and his trusted magic hammer, it’s a theme utilised many times before, but Wild Hammer Megaways is one of the best I’ve seen so far.

Sitting in the background are mountains and trees and the reels are flanked by two huge statues.

Thor’s hammer is the wild and a bonus symbol represents the scatter.
Gameplay
There are a total of 4 bonus features, let’s take a look:First, we have the cascading reels as I’m sure you are accustomed to now. After a winning combination is formed the symbols involved fall away and are replaced with new symbols to help form new winning combinations.Across the top of the reel set is a horizontal spinning reel, get two matching symbols here and a lightning bolt strikes the reels. The triggering matching symbols and any other instances of that symbol on the reels below now become wilds and a payout considered.Landing 4 bonus symbols anywhere on the reels trigger the free spins and a multiplier. The least you can win is 5 spins and a 1x multiplier, the most are 10 spins and a starting 5x multiplier.After each successful cascade during the free spins, the multiplier increases by 1x. It does not reset and continues to increase even after a winless cascade.
Verdict
Wild Hammer Megaways ticks all the boxes in terms of design, gameplay, and a top prize of 50,000x the total bet per spin. iSoftBet has produced a thoroughly engaging, highly volatile, Megaways title with graphics some of the best I’ve seen in a long time.
