Holy Hand Grenade Slot Review

Holy Hand Grenade - Overview

Holy Hand Grenade is a medieval themed slot from Print Studios that hooked me from the first spin. You play on a classic five reel layout with 26 fixed paylines in the base game, heading back to a stone church where divine explosions rule the day. The holy hand grenade itself sits at the centre of the gameplay, blowing up clusters of symbols and creating those satisfying screens filled with matching icons.

In practice Holy Hand Grenade feels like a blend of high volatility maths and quirky humour. The listed RTP of 96.45% sits above the standard figure I see on most modern releases, while the max win reaches a tempting 20000 times your bet. SuperSpinners sit between the reels and multiply wins, and once free spins kick in the grid explodes into a six reel, fifty two line furnace.

Holy Hand Grenade Slot Details

As far as numbers go, Holy Hand Grenade offers a solid spread. Stakes start at 10p a spin and go right up to £60, with 26 fixed paylines running left to right. Wins need three or more matching symbols on adjacent reels from the leftmost side. Hit frequency clocks in at about 31.4 percent, so on paper you see a win roughly every three spins, although streaks can feel swingy.

The default RTP sits at 96.45 percent, which I rate above average for a high variance slot like this. Trigger the Scatter Boost and it nudges up to 96.64 percent, while buying the bonus gives the highest figure at 96.82 percent. Volatility is listed as high with a 4.5 out of 5 rating, and the theoretical max win is 20,000 x the bet, hit roughly once in 58 million spins.

Holy Hand Grenade Theme, Audio + Symbols

Holy Hand Grenade throws you into a warped take on medieval Europe where faith and pyrotechnics share the same altar. The reels sit inside an old stone church, shafts of light cutting through stained glass during base play. Trigger free spins and the scene ignites, with flames licking the walls and goats scampering about the nave. Over the top of it all sits a calm choral soundtrack that erupts into Hallelujahs when wins land.

The symbol set matches that irreverent mood. At the top you have the slightly crazed Bishop, then a stern looking man and a devout woman, followed by candle stacks and a bulging money bag. Card suits make up the low pays, with diamonds, clubs, hearts and spades carved in stone. The grenade symbol does not pay on its own yet drives the feature game, while the goat scatter carries the word BONUS under its smug face.

When I checked the paytable, six of a kind diamonds return up to 2 times stake, while hearts and clubs reach 3 and 4 times respectively. The mid symbols climb fast, with bags paying 8x, candles 10x, the woman 15x, the man 20x and the Bishop topping out at 50x for six. The whole thing runs on HTML5, so it plays smoothly on my phone and tablet without any clunky layout changes.

Holy Hand Grenade Bonus Features

Holy Hand Grenade packs several mechanics, but SuperSpinners come first. Little gem stones sit between the reels carrying multipliers, and whenever a winning line crosses one its value multiplies that line win. If more than one applies they build in sequence, up to a total 40x. Then there is the grenade itself. After win evaluation it explodes, turning a random cluster of neighbouring symbols into one chosen symbol type, which can suddenly light up multiple paylines.

Free spins arrive when three, four or five goats drop in, awarding 7, 9 or 11 spins and expanding the grid to six reels and five rows with 52 ways. Any grenade that lands now leaves a frame, gives two extra spins, and if it explodes inside an existing frame the blast gets larger. Outside the UK you can buy the bonus for 95x bet, or pay 50 percent extra per spin for Scatter Boost, which showers in more scatters and a higher RTP.

Holy Hand Grenade Expert Verdict

When I first saw the name Holy Hand Grenade in a lobby it stopped me in my tracks. After a decent session, I rate it as one of Print Studios’ stronger high variance efforts. The medieval setting, choir heavy soundtrack and frantic explosions give it a distinct character, while the SuperSpinners keep even dull base game runs interesting. With 20,000x potential and flexible RTP options, it easily earns a four and a half out of five from me.
