Hammer of Gods has a few unique elements, one of which is its setting. A Viking Longship has beached itself high up in the Durmir highlands, where it rests on the grass among stone henges, daisies, and pines. Hammer of Gods' grid, which has three rows and six reels, is another peculiarity. There are 729 chances to win with this setup when three or more matching symbols fall across them.
The paytable displays a total of eleven pay symbols, all of which have a traditional Peter & Sons appearance. The first half, perhaps not so much, as they are only regular 9-A card royals; nevertheless, it is a little difficult to definitively identify the five high pays, who are undoubtedly Norse Gods of various kinds. The highest premium, which appears to be one-eyed Odin, is worth 20 times the wager for a six-of-a-kind win; for the other high-value tiles, the value drops to 3-5 times.
The Way Multiplier is a little icon that shows a multiplier of x2 to x4 and is featured in both the main and bonus games. Way Multipliers multiply the value they display by the number of instances of the symbol they sit on when they land. Other than the scatter, Way Multipliers can land on any symbol.
Special golden wilds occasionally land in addition to the normal wild. When they do, they land in the top left metre where they are gathered. Three golden wilds filling the metre cause a respin, during which all three wilds are gathered and added to the game panel. Then the metre is reset.
The star shield scatter is the final symbol to examine. When 3, 4, 5, or 6 land, this one awards 2, 10, 100, or 500 times the stake and awards 15 bonus spins. With a few exceptions, the rules of the base game are mostly unchanged during free spins. One is that symbols are always split into all four ways by way of multipliers.
