SlotBeats Reporter, James Ross hosts the latest edition of Slot Selection from GamblingTV, in collaboration with SlotBeats, with this weeks show including releases from ReelPlay, Tom Horn Gaming, Spearhead Studios and iSoftBet.

First up we have Buster Hammer Carnival, the fifth title launched from ReelPlay through Yggdrasil’s YG Masters program. 

Buster Hammer Carnival is a five-reel slot title which offers 3,125 paylines along with a Mighty Free Spins mode which enhances the ways to win to 32,768. 

During the base game, the Wild Hammer symbol substitutes for all symbols except the Scatter. If one or more Wild Hammer appears in a win, it will trigger the Wild Striker feature. 

Within this feature, Buster will hit the Wild Striker once for each reel that the Wild 

Hammer has appeared on. After each hit, starting from the bottom position, up to five symbols on the corresponding reel change to Gold Wild Hammers. 

Additionally, if the Free Spins and the Wild Striker feature are triggered simultaneously on the same spin, the Wild Striker feature plays first, before commencing the Free Spins. 

The title comes with a medium to high volatility implemented and an RTP of 95.97 to 96.34 per cent.

And this week’s SlotBeats’ Slot of the Week goes to Tom Horn Gaming with its most recent release Wheel of Luck Hold and Win. 

A title with a medium to high volatility level, Tom Horn spun its Wheel of Luck and landed the coveted award with its five-reel video slot which offers 25 paylines as well as including a Free Spins mode, a Hold and Win respin round and Wheel of Luck bonus round. 

During the base game, if the player lands three Scatter symbols, it triggers 10 Free Spins. Moreover, if five Wheel symbols land on the reels within this mode, then players get to advance into the Hold&Win respin where Cash and Wheel symbols enhance the players’ win potential. 

When appearing on the reels, Cash symbols remain fixed on the reels for the duration of Free Spins and reset the spin count to three. The suspense builds with every Wheel symbol landing on the grid as they are the ones to watch to activate the Wheel of Luck. 

After securing three Wheels, players have one chance to spin the wheel. Its three levels take this bonus game up a notch, with each ring on the wheel presenting players with higher winnings. When reaching the top level, players can maximise their winnings by 1000x their bet.
