Buster Hammer

Overview

Anyone who knows anything about slot games will know about ReelPlay. They’re a slot-building company that has made a great reputation for themselves in recent years, thanks to the quality of their games. One of their latest offerings is the Buster Hammer slot game. It all takes place in the magical world of the circus, where you’ll find animals, performers, and plenty of amazement. That’s a pretty good landscape upon which to build a slot game. But, of course, you still need to build it well - and that’s just that ReelPlay has done. They’ve incorporated outstanding graphics that help to make the game as realistic as possible. It’s not just the graphics that make this game fun to play, however - there’s also plenty of features that increase the player’s chances of walking around with some cash, too.

Theme and Design

Buster Hammer refers to the main character of the slot game. Buster is a circus man - he’s kind of a big cave man with a big wooden bat to match. You’ll be close to him when you play since you’re not watching the circus; you’re in the circus. The lights of the show are on you, and you’re facing the audience. But there’s no pressure - people go to the circus to have a good time, not to heckle the performers. So that’s the theme. What about the design? It’s not an exaggeration to say that this is one of the best-designed games on the market. It all looks magical and the images are super high quality; it really does feel like we’re dealing with a modern game here!

Game Play

The slot game follows the standard formula that you’ll find in other slots: the aim is to line up as many symbols as you can in a row along the reel. There are five spinning reels, with three symbols on each. At this stage, we’d normally talk about pay lines, but that conversation isn’t needed here, since ReelPlay decided to get rid of them. In their place is a different system: winning combinations can appear anywhere on the screen. On every spin, this means that there are nearly 250 ways to win. Not bad! You’ll see a bar where you can adjust your wager, which makes changing your stake as simple as can be. You can play in a few different ways, too. There’s the common ‘spin’ way, which is the most traditional. You can also speed things up by choosing the autoplay feature, which will automatically spin the reels until something interesting comes up; this is valuable if you want to play faster than normal. 

Symbols

The symbols are divided into two different categories. There are the low-value symbols and the high-value symbols. The low-value symbols are represented by playing cards from nine through to the ace. They’re not going to win you the big cash, but they can be handy for topping up your rewards. The higher-value symbols are circus-themed. They are the lion, elephant, and an otter, and then big Buster Hammer himself. If you get five of Buster, then you’ll get one hundred and sixty times your wager. 

Features

There are various features available throughout the game which make it easier for players to win bigger. The hammer symbol functions as a wild card, which means it’ll act as any other symbol, should you need it to do so. When that happens, Buster will swing his hammer, which can unleash a sea of multipliers, which can drive the value of your winning stake right up. Three circus tents will give you some free spins. 

Conclusion

As we’ve seen, there’s much to like about Buster Hammer. And that’s not surprising, given that it comes from ReelPlay. They’ve been doing good things for a while now and they’ve done it again with Buster Hammer. In all, you can say this is a really well-thought out spin game, with great graphics that make it immersive and fun. The downside of the game would be that the low-end payouts are smaller than other games, but that’s only a minor criticism -- it’s more than possible to win big in other ways, such as by getting Buster to swing his hammer. If you’ve long been a fan of the circus and the enchanting world you find there, then this could well be a slot game that you return to again and again.
