It is time to pay a visit to the carnival, can you wield the hammer enough to ring the bell and win some cash? The Buster Hammer Carnival video slot from Chance Interactive / NextGen Gaming will take you back to your childhood and let you re-live the experience of the funfair.

About the slot

Buster Hammer Carnival is a 5 reel slot offering you 3,125 ways to win with the added bonus of expanding to 32,678 ways to win with the Mighty Free spins feature. Wagering starts at 50p per spin up to £12.50 per spin, and the slot can be played on all devices.

Symbols are all what you would expect to see at a funfair, bow and arrow targets, hot dogs, carnival tickets and Buster who is worth x12 your wager for landing 5 on a payline. The lower value symbols are the 9 to the Ace playing cards.

Bonus features

There are 3 betting levels on offer, on level 1, wilds will only appear on the 3^rd reel, level 2, wilds will appear on the 3^rd and 4^th reels, and on level 3 wilds will appear on reels 2-4, with the wild symbol represented by the hammer. On level one the minimum wager is 50p, on level 2 it is a minimum of 75p, and on level 3 the miminum wager is £1.

Landing one or more of the wild hammers in a winning combo will trigger the Wild Striker feature, where Buster will smash the hammer onto the button for each reel where the wild striker appears, transforming the wild hammers into golden wilds.

The Mighty Free spins feature is triggered when you land a minimum of three scatter symbols (carnival logos), awarding you with 10 free spins. 3 scatters will give you  x2 of your bet, 4 will give you x10 you wager, and 5 will give a whopping x50 of your wager, with the reels expanding to 8 rows high instead of the 5, giving you 32,768 ways to win.

This slot is the second in the Buster Hammer series, with great graphics and animations it is very pleasing to the eye. The RTP is between 95.97%-96.39% on this slot. You have the potential to win up to x3,125 times your wager in the base game which rises to 1,431.25 times your wager in the Mighty Free spins feature.
