Green Jade Games has been in operation for over a year now, and as specified already, the company is out to appeal to more players than ever before. It’ll be doing this by combining the world of casinos, together with skill-based gameplay and other gamification features.
Microgaming has already attempted to do something similar to this with slots like Castle Builder I and Castle Builder II. Both games have proved to be massively popular, so we can only imagine what impact these first games from Green Jade Games will have on iGaming.
There are a number of games currently in the pipeline, set for spaced out launches throughout the rest of 2018. We can’t wait to get to play them, but for now, we’ll have to make do with some hints about its first slot: Hammer of Fortune.
Hammer of Fortune
We’re going out on a limb here, but judging from the title this is probably going to be some type of Nordic-themed slot. In the world of Marvel movies, it’s difficult to see the word ‘hammer’ and not immediately think ‘Thor’. Plus, Norse mythology is an extremely popular theme for slots. Play’n GO have Viking Runecraft, and Yggdrasil has its Vikings Go to Hell, Vikings Go Berzerk, and Vikings Go Wild series. Similar to the Castle Builder slot-set, Hammer of Fortune will marry together gambling, skill and gamified features into a 20-chapter long plot-line.
It’s estimated that players can complete all of the chapters in about 1,500 spins total. That’s a lot of spins but, if it’s anything like Castle Builder, players will be able to save their progress between one gaming session and another.
Hammer of Fortune has an RTP of 95%, which admittedly falls under the industry standard of 96%, but is still a decent payout rate value. The online slot will also be of medium volatility, making it a great slot for hard-core pros and casual players alike. With the added structure of the 20-chapter story, players will really be able to pace themselves during gameplay.
If Hammer of Fortune bodes anything similar for the future of other Green Jade games, then we’re in for a real treat.
