SLOT REVIEW
Written by Stephen Cummings
Jack Hammer 3: The Diamond Affair is the highly anticipated sequel to the fun and popular Jack Hammer 2 slot game. With plenty of additional modern features as well as an increased max payout, the aim of this review is to explain to you all of the information you need so that you can make an informed decision whether to play Jack Hammer 3 slot or not.
JACK HAMMER 3 DIAMOND AFFAIR RTP AND SLOT FEATURES
The RTP of Jack Hammer 3 is adjustable depending on which casino you play at. The RTP at most online casino’s is 94.05%. This is a disappointing RTP, especially given that Jack Hammer two was one of the highest RTP slots at 97.10%.
On the other hand, NetEnt have added some excellent modern features here including sticky win symbols.
CLUSTER PAYS
Jack Hammer 3 is a cluster pays slot which means that the paylines are turned into cluster pays. To trigger wins, winning symbols must cluster together next to each other. For more information on this mechanic, you can read our guide to Cluster Pays slots.
STICKY WINS
Sticky wins can be activated within both the free spins and base game and awards repsins. The feature is activated once there is at least one scattered win or three free spin symbols on the reels.
JACK HAMMER
Jack Hammer is the main protagonist in all of the Jack Hammer slots and his symbol can appear in both base game and free spins.
During a low symbol winning spin, one or two Jack Hammer symbols will turn the symbols that are part of the win into higher paying symbols.
During a high symbol win, the Jack Hammer feature will add the symbols in the win to the Mysterious Multiplier at the top of the reels. The total number of symbols that are added will increase the progression bar which will result in increased multipliers up to x5.
JACK HAMMER FREE SPINS
In the main game and during free spins, 5,6,7,8,9 and 10 free spins symbols appearing anywhere on the reels will activate up to 20 free spins.
Features in Jack Hammer 3 Diamond Affair:
- Free spins
- Wild symbols
- Scatter symbols
- Cluster pays
- Sticky wins
- Mysterious multiplier
- Multipliers
JACK HAMMER 3 DIAMOND AFFAIR MAXIMUM PAYOUTS
Jack Hammer 3 has a maximum payout of 1,332x. This is not too bad, but there is certainly plenty of other slot machine games out there with higher payouts. With that being said, it is higher than Jack Hammer 2.
STRATEGIES FOR PLAYING JACK HAMMER 3 DIAMOND AFFAIR
You should ideally aim to play Jack Hammer 3 at an online slot site which will allow you to play it at its highest RTP level of 96.08%. In regards to in-game strategies, we are sorry to tell you that there are no strategies which will guarantee wins.
The best advice the SlotsHawk team can offer you is to play within your limits and only play whilst you are having fun. As the old saying goes: when the fun stops, stop. Jack Hammer 3 has a minimum bet per spin of £0.20, which means that it is possible to play for a low amount. In addition, Jack Hammer 3 is a medium variance slot, so it should be fairly reasonable to state that you will trigger a winning spin in one out of every three/four spins.
ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES
Having tested Jack Hammer 3 at several different old and new slot sites, I have listed the positives and negatives for you below.
Advantages:
- Cluster pays mechanic
- Free spins triggered often
- Sticky wins feature
Disadvantages:
- Below average RTP
THE SLOTSHAWK VERDICT
“Highly anticipated by many slots players, Jack Hammer 3 is fun to play as it involves a new narrative. However, we are disappointed at the low RTP and the lack of more modern features. This slot could have been much better.”
