Game of the Week
Hammer Gods, Red Tiger Gaming. RTP: 94.71%
Plenty of slots are based on Thor and the power of his mighty hammer, Mjolnir. What you might not know is that Mjolnir was forged by two brothers, Sindri and Brokkr. While the brothers have mostly escaped pop culture attention, they are the focus of this game, filling the screen and sitting alongside the left and right of the 5x4 reels. Central to the action, they can turn lower-paying symbols into matching higher-paying combos or wilds.
The aim of the game is to line up matching symbols to make wins. The most valuable character is the wild. Line up 5 of these, and you’ll get 10x your stake. The wild can also sub for other symbols to help you make more winning lines. Both Sindri and Brokkr have unique bonus features triggered by landing 1x2 hammer symbols (red for Brokkr, which can only land on reel 2, and blue for Sindri, only on reel 4).
The Brokkr feature turns all low-value symbols into a single matching higher-paying symbol for the feature. Meanwhile, Sindri turns up to 3 different types of higher-value symbols on the reels wild. If both hammer symbols land on the same spin, you’ll get 10 free spins with one or both hammer features guaranteed to trigger up to 3 times per free spin!
