From The Dark Knight to The Incredible Hulk – which is the undisputed smash?
Who doesn’t love a good super-hero movie?
It being summer time, comic-book films are all the rage, with Ant-Man out on 17th July and the Fantastic Four reboot debuting on 7th August 7th.
Of course, Avengers: Age Of Ultron has already opened to widespread fanfare – released on 1st May, it’s taken $1.4 billion at the international box office.
And if films aren’t your thing, there are dozens of online slots based on superheroes such as Batman and Spider-Man.
Such slots are among the most popular in the business. Indeed, they appeal to players all over the world. But what are the stand-outs? All the games are featured on RightCasino.com’s definitive slots guide, which you can view here.
1 – The Incredible Hulk 50 Lines
Software: Playtech
Release Date: 2012
Progressive Jackpot: Yes
The Incredible Hulk 50 Lines remains one of the best games of its type. Developed by Playtech, it’s available at a number of RightCasino’s highest rated operators.
The minimum spin is $0.50 and the maximum is $500 which sees all 50-paylines activated.
There are two bonus rounds to enjoy. The ‘Smash Bonus’ triggers when you spin the ‘Smash’ symbol on reels 1 and 5, while free spins are won every time you spin the ‘Incredible Hulk’ symbol on any three reels – free spin wins are multiplied by three.
What’s more, there are four progressive jackpots to be won on every spin.
2 – Iron Man 3
Software: Playtech
Release Date: 2013
Progressive Jackpot: Yes
The Marvel Multi-Level Progressive Jackpot is present on Iron Man 3, which means you have four progressive jackpots to hit while playing.
Coin values range from $0.01 to $10, making the minimum bet $0.25 and the maximum bet $250.
There are three bonus rounds to trigger. ‘Mark 42’ offers 10 free spins with freezing wilds; ‘War Machine’ triggers 8 free spins with random wilds; and ‘Iron Patriot’ triggers 15 free spins with a dynamic multiplier (2x – 5x).
All three bonus rounds can trigger additional free spins.
3 – Spider-Man: Attack of the Green Goblin
Software: Playtech
Release Date: 2013
Progressive Jackpot: Yes
This list wouldn’t be complete without a Spidey slot and this is our favourite. It’s packed with features, including five bonus rounds.
The slot features 5-reels and 25-paylines – nothing out of the ordinary — but the bonus games are what hooked us. No, they don’t trigger and often you can’t pick the round you want, but other than that, they’re great.
Bonus rounds boast special features as well, such as sticky wilds, multipliers and more.
4 – The Dark Knight Rises
Software: Microgaming
Release Date: 2013
Progressive Jackpot: No
It mightn’t suit the value players reading this list, but we had to include The Dark Knight Rises as it boasts an impressive 243-ways to win and is accessible to players with a small bankroll.
Indeed, not only is the maximum spin low for an online slot, but the slot is low variance.
There are lots of small payouts to keep you alive and clearing online casino bonuses.
The goal on this slot is to trigger the free spin round. The more you play, the bigger you’ll win during the round.
5 – The Avengers
Software: Playtech
Release Date: 2013
Progressive Jackpot: Yes
The Avengers slot is 5-reels and 20-paylines with multiple progressive jackpots that can be hit on every spin.
There are five bonus rounds to enjoy, including the ‘Wall of Heroes’, which triggers one of four superhero bonus games.
You’ll want to trigger the Thor bonus as you get 9 free spins, plus Thor turns up to five symbols into a wild on every spin. This is the feature that pays out the most on this Avengers slot.
Of course, everyone will have their preferred superhero slot – your choice is most likely to be governed by whoever your favourite character is.
The progressive jackpots are also linked in most cases, such as the Playtech Marvel Multi-Level Progressive Jackpot.
