Jack Hammer 3 Slot Game Basics
Jack Hammer™ 3: Diamond Affair is a 5-reel, 6-row video slot game with the Scatter Pays mechanic. The game has the Sticky Win™ feature with Re-Spins, Jack Hammer feature with the Mysterious Multiplier feature, and Free Spins.
The game is played with scattered combinations of symbols and different bet values. The combination of 8 or more of the same symbol appearing anywhere on the reels awards a scattered win. Simultaneous scattered wins from combinations of different symbols are added. Only the highest win per scattered combination is paid.
A scattered win is equal to the value shown in the Paytable, multiplied by any applicable multiplier. Symbol payout values are dynamic and change in accordance with the selected bet value.
Wild Symbols
Wild symbols appear in the main game, in Free Spins, and during Re-Spins. Wild symbols substitute for all symbols except for the Free Spin symbols and Jack Hammer symbols. Wild symbol substitution pays the highest possible winning combination on a scattered win, according to the Paytable.
Sticky Win™ Feature
The Sticky Win™ feature is activated in the main game or Free Spins and awards Re-Spins. The feature is activated when at least one scattered win or at least 3 Free Spin symbols are on the reels.
During Re-Spins, the scattered win or Free Spin symbols remain on the reels until the next Re-Spin. Another Re-Spin is awarded when another symbol is added to the scattered winning combination, a new scattered win combination appears on the reels, another Free Spin symbol appears or at least one Jack Hammer symbol appears on the reels.
If a scattered winning combination or combinations appear on all the positions on the reels, no Re-Spin is awarded, and wins will be evaluated. No wins are awarded for the main spin that activated Re-Spins and for Re-Spins except for the last Re-Spin. Re-Spins are played at the same bet as the round that activated Re-Spins.
Jack Hammer Feature
The Jack Hammer symbol can appear during Re-Spins in the main game and in Free Spins. During a low-win symbol win, one or two Jack Hammer symbols transform all low-win symbols on the reels that are part of a winning combination into symbols with higher wins.
In the case of multiple winning combinations of low-win symbols, all instances of low-win symbols part of the winning combinations transform into the same symbols with higher wins.
During a high-win symbol win, when the Jack Hammer symbol appears, the high-win symbol that is part of a winning combination will be added to the Mysterious Multiplier at the top of the reels, where the total number of symbols in the winning combination is added to the symbol’s progression bar to increase its multiplier.
If low-win symbols transform into high-win symbols, the high-win symbols are added to the Mysterious Multiplier. High-win symbols added to the Mysterious Multiplier require 8 symbols for x2, x3, and x4 multipliers. For multipliers x5 and higher, 20 symbols are required to upgrade the multiplier by 1.
Each Jack Hammer symbol increases the multiplier in the progression bar separately. When two Jack Hammer symbols appear on the reels when low-win symbols transform into high-win symbols, the high-win symbols are added to the Mysterious Multiplier and the multiplier is increased.
In the main game, high-win symbols in the Mysterious Multiplier bar disappear when Re-Spins end. In Free Spins, high-win symbols persist in the Mysterious Multiplier bar until the end of Free Spins.
Free Spins
In the main game and Free Spins, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10+ Free Spins symbols appearing anywhere on the reels activate 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, and 20 Free Spins respectively. Free Spins symbols can appear during Free Spins and award additional Free Spins. The rounds of additional Free Spins are added to the currently active Free Spins.
If the Mysterious Multiplier feature and Free Spins are activated in the same round, Free Spins start, and the Mysterious Multiplier progression continues until the end of Free Spins
Free Spins are played at the same bet as the round that activated Free Spins. At the end of Free Spins, the total win from Free Spins is added to any wins from the round that activated Free Spins, and the game returns to the round that activated Free Spins.
