Theme, Graphics & Soundtrack

Take a trip up to the Scottish Highlands with this Scottish-themed slot from Eyecon, where players will experience all the fun and excitement of the Highland Games. The Highland games are a series of sporting events held predominantly in Scotland but also around the world, beginning in spring and lasting throughout summer. The highland games are usually one-day outdoor events of traditional Highland sports, such as the tug o' war, hammer throw, and caber toss, along with Highland music and dancing and music and plenty of family entertainment.

The Highland theme is evident throughout the game as the reels feature a selection of coloured kilts, the hammer, a Scotsman and a winner's cup. The scene is set in Scotland, with flags flying and crowds watching in the background as a comical pair of competitors attempt to take part in the games.

The slot is accompanied by some traditional bagpipe music as well as the sounds of crowds cheering, and there are some classic slot sound effects.

Hammer Throw

When three, four or five of the Hammer Scatter symbols are landed on the reels, it triggers the Hammer Throw Bonus game. Players must select targets until they match a pair. Targets reveal multipliers of between 2x and 100x. For each symbol in the winning combination, the player is awarded the value of the pair multiplied by the total bet.

Caber Toss

Landing three or more of the smiling Scotsman symbols will trigger the Caber Toss bonus feature, and players are awarded a pick for each Scotsman symbol. On each pick, a Scotsman will toss a caber, which will reveal a prize of up to 100x or 10 Free Spins. The Free Spins can only be won once during the feature, but all prizes during the free spins round are doubled!
