Jack Hammer 2: Fishy Business

Jack Hammer 2: Fishy Business is a comic-style sequel in which detective Jack dives in to rescue Pearl from underwater danger. It was released on July 23, 2012, and you can jump straight into the case with the free demo, no sign-up needed.

How does Jack Hammer 2: Fishy Business differ from the first game?

The hero Jack is back, and this time he saves Pearl from an underwater fate. The number of lines has grown considerably to 99, and the graphics have been polished further. It is a NetEnt slot that carries over the Sticky Win, wilds and free spins to keep the tension high. The screen effects that flow like turning comic book panels and the suspenseful mood stand out in particular.

How do sticky wins chain together?

When a win lands, the winning symbols lock in place and the reels spin again. If a new win appears, those symbols lock too and the reels spin once more. When no new wins occur, the locked wins are paid out all at once, and on-screen effects show you the Sticky Win state while it is in progress. The core fun is how one small win can grow into several respins.

How do free spins start?

The free spins start when 5 or more moving free spin symbols land anywhere on the screen. They play at the same bet level as the spin that triggered them, and a sign shows the remaining spins. Getting 5 or more during the free spins adds extra spins. When they end, a win summary screen appears before you return to the base game, and since bonus buy is not available, you need to collect the symbols on regular spins.

How is the showdown with Don Crabby shown?

During the free spins, wild labels symbolizing the showdown between Jack Hammer and the villain Don Crabby appear at random. All line wins in the free spins are doubled, so when a wild label overlaps with a Sticky Win, wins can swell quickly. The showdown with the villain Don Crabby plays out through the wild label effects over the reels, so there is also the fun of following the story along with your wins.

What should I check first in the demo?

The RTP is a high 97.07%, and volatility is medium. Hit frequency is 24%, the max win is 800x, and the bet range is €0.5 – €250. In the demo, check how many times in a row the Sticky Win can continue across the 99 lines. With more lines than the first game, it is also fun to compare whether Sticky Wins chain together more often.
