Justice League Slots
Ever since Warner Bros. Pictures began to create movies based on the DC Comics universe, there has been one title that viewers and fans have been looking forward to: Justice League. The team is essentially the DC equivalent of Marvel’s Avengers, put perhaps with even bigger names in the mix, including such iconic names such as Batman, Superman, and Wonder Woman. The film, scheduled for release in November, is almost certain to be a massive commercial hit.
That’s why the movie was the perfect subject for one in a series of online slots based on the DC Extended Universe. Justice League by Playtech is an upcoming online casino game that is scheduled for release in conjunction with the film this November, one that will feature the same mix of memorable characters and thrilling action that audiences will expect to see on the big screen. With big jackpots and thematic special features, we’re pretty certain gamblers will have just as much fun with this team of heroes as comic book fans have for generations.
You Can’t Save the World Alone
The Justice League video slot is a new online slot machine that will be included at sites featuring software by Playtech after it is released later this year. While we haven’t seen any preview images for this machine just yet, we can feel pretty confident about the theming, which will inevitably include the major characters as portrayed by actors such as Ben Affleck, Gal Gadot, and Henry Cavill. Expect to see plenty of video clips and tons of audio from the film, all of which will serve to make this a very engaging experience that throws you right into the world of the movie.
When you’re dealing with a company like Playtech, you can feel confident these days that you’ll be able to play on any device you like, thanks to a mobile-optimized design that ensures that the same game will run on either desktop computers or tablets and smartphones. When it comes to betting options, early indications are that both low limit and high roller settings will be offered, and we’re hoping that players will get the chance to try a free slots version at many casinos as well.
Assemble Your Team
From the information we’ve found so far, it appears that the Justice League video slot is a five reel game with 40 paylines of action. Players are asked to make matches from left to right across their reels, with longer strings of identical symbols leading to bigger payouts. Symbols that can earn prizes include the heroes that make up the team – Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Aquaman, The Flash, and Cyborg – along with the iconic logos of each character.
The main special feature that we’ve heard about for this game is a free spins mode that will unlock as you play, allowing you the opportunity to play features that are based on each of these heroes. This is similar to the setup in titles like Thunderstruck II, and has proven to be a popular way of adding multiple versions of a bonus feature in the past. The options are said to include the following:
- Batman: You’ll get just two free spins, but a superhero symbol showing up in the featured position will turn all other superheroes on screen into wild symbols.
- Superman: Over the course of five spins, any superhero icon in the expanded 2x2 feature area will turn all of their own symbols wild.
- Wonder Woman: You’ll receive seven free games, and once again, a hero landing in a feature frame will turn all other versions of that same character wild. The bonus here is that you could get anywhere from one to five feature spots per spin.
- Aquaman: Over your 10 free spins, any symbol appearing in the feature spot will turn all other matching icons wild.
- Cyborg: Players enjoy a dozen free spins, during which any hero symbol that appears in the feature position will turn matching icons wild. Each time a spin goes by without this bonus being triggered, the feature area will cover another position.
- The Flash: This game gives you the most free plays (15), but has the least powerful matching mechanism. If a hero icon appears in the single feature frame, all instances of that symbol on screen become wild.
Jackpots and More
One of the most anticipated aspects of this game is the fact that it will be a part of the DC Super Heroes Progressive Jackpot system. Players have the chance to win any of a series of tiered jackpots, along with many other prizes, with a randomly triggered special feature that can occur after any spin.
In addition, another random feature could benefit you at any time. A re-spin can be triggered entirely at random, during which one of the superheroes will become wild. It’s actually possible to retrigger this feature as many as five times; get the maximum number of triggers, and you’ll eventually have all six characters wild on your final re-spin!
A Surefire Hit
There are few movies coming out in 2017 that have anywhere near the anticipation of this one, and we’re sure the same will be said of the Justice League video slot. This is certain to be one of the top releases of 2017 in the iGaming world, combining a developer with a track record of great work with licensed properties with some of the most beloved comic book characters of all time. We’re sure the public at large will be paying a lot more to the movie this game is based on, but we’ll have a full review of this machine for you when it comes out this November.
