Holy Hand Grenade 2: Slot Overview

Merriam-Webster defines ‘holy’ as ‘exalted or worthy of complete devotion as one perfect in goodness and righteousness’ and ‘grenade’ as ‘a small missile that contains an explosive or a chemical agent … that is thrown by hand or projected.’ Exactly how those two ideas ended up fused into one gambling game is hard to say, but it took the imaginative team at Print Studios to unite them in the wildly explosive online slot Holy Hand Grenade. So, brace yourself—grenades, goats, and irreverence return in Holy Hand Grenade 2, offered in both Dream Drop and standard editions (and, in practice, they play like two distinctly different games).

Launched in 2023, the first title already looked fantastic, and if anything, Holy Hand Grenade 2 is even more visually polished, with remarkably detailed background art. Print Studios clearly excels at medieval/royal family-style slots, from Royal Potato to Tarasque, and Holy Hand Grenade 2 continues that streak. The main screen also hints at the chaos ahead: the charming hillside village is being wiped out mid-scene, presumably by grenade fire. The bonus action shifts inside a religious building, backed by an equally strong soundtrack. Add in the goats—yes, they’re back—and Holy Hand Grenade 2 delivers the same Monty Python-esque mind-bender on the reels that part one did.

In the base game, Holy Hand Grenade 2 runs on a 5×4 gaming area with 26 paylines, expanding once free spins are activated. The highly volatile math model delivers an RTP of 96.01% (including 12% Jackpot contribution) or 92.86% in the Dream Drop jackpot edition. Your stake matters because larger bets increase the odds of landing a jackpot, and wagering ranges from 20c to $/€30.

One nice touch from Print Studios is giving the pay symbols proper names. In Holy Hand Grenade 2, you’ll find the Faithful Fig, Papal Pomegranate, Adams Apple, Godly Grapes, Holy Horn, Sacrilegious Scroll, Crooked Commoner, Sly Sister, and Barmy Bishop. When 6 matching symbols land, payouts run from 2x to 50x the bet.

Holy Hand Grenade 2: Slot Features

Plenty of blasts are incoming thanks to the Holy Hand Grenade feature, working alongside SuperSpinners, free spins, the Dream Drop Goat feature, and Feature Bets.

SuperSpinners

SuperSpinners are positioned between the reels. If a winning line travels through a SuperSpinner showing a number, that number multiplies the win. When more than one SuperSpinner is included in the same win, each value multiplies the winning line one after another.

Holy Hand Grenade Feature

When a Holy Hand Grenade lands, it explodes after wins and converts a random number of symbols around it into a single random symbol. Once this occurs, the game performs a fresh win check.

Free Spins

Landing 3, 4, or 5 scatters awards 7, 9, or 11 free spins, respectively. Free spins take place on a 6×5 grid with 52 paylines. When a Holy Hand Grenade appears, it grants +1-5 extra free spins, activates the Holy Hand Grenade feature, and highlights its position with a frame for the remainder of the round. Any Holy Hand Grenade feature that hits a highlighted position will trigger an additional Holy Hand Grenade feature from that same spot. If a Holy Hand Grenade lands inside a frame, it causes a larger explosion. Also, the colour of the Holy Hand Grenade or the frame applies these extra effects:

• Green – the explosion does not reveal low-paying symbols.
• Purple – increases values on SuperSpinners.
• Blue – winlines are evaluated both ways.

Dream Drop Goat Feature

In the Dream Drop version, landing 3 or more DD overlay icons on screen triggers the Dream Drop Goat feature. Hitting the drop button throws a grenade at a building. As grenades detonate, they may reveal parts of goats. Once a goat is completely revealed, its Jackpot Prize is awarded and the feature ends. Jackpots and their starting values are the Rapid, Midi, Maxi, Daily, Major, and Mega at €1, €5, €100, €700, €37,500, and €1,500,000, respectively.

Feature Bet

The Feature Bet section includes Adjustable Scatter Boost at different price points, Blasphemous Spins at 125x, which triggers free spins, and Final Judgement Spins at 585x, which triggers free spins starting with a Green Frame, Purple Frame, and Blue Frame from the start of the round.

Holy Hand Grenade 2 Dream Drop: Slot Verdict

It’s genuinely refreshing to review such a striking slot with such unusual subject matter, which is exactly what Holy Hand Grenade 2 offers. Sure, it’s technically not entirely unique since it’s a sequel, but Print Studios has refined the visuals to create an even more elegant-looking game. The soundtrack is as absurd as the goats-and-grenades concept—in the best possible way—and the whole package comes together cleanly, like a pristine stained-glass window or a meticulously engineered explosive device.

If there’s a downside, it’s that some players may have expected a bigger leap in brand-new mechanics—perhaps an extra twist in the base game. Without Dream Drop, the main additions are essentially the new grenade and frame types: green, purple, and blue. That said, these effects can massively change how a free spins session develops when the Holy Hand Grenade feature keeps detonating across the reels. It was a standout in the original and remains just as entertaining here. With the added firepower, the game can also land wins outside the Dream Drop of up to 30,000x. Worth noting: the non-Dream Drop version still includes a Goat bonus feature, but it pays a cash prize rather than a dedicated jackpot.

Print Studios isn’t the kind of provider that churns out a new slot every week, and that craftsmanship is obvious here. Holy Hand Grenade 2 looks exceptional, keeps the same enjoyably surreal, incendiary vibe, and pushes the gameplay forward in a way fans of the first game should be excited to try.
