9 Best Superhero Movie Pokie Machines
03/11/2017
Just like pokie jackpots, superheroes come in all shapes and sizes. In this cinematic age where Batman battles against Superman, and the Avengers assemble, online video slots have taken inspiration from these films and the comic books they are based on. Check out our guide to the top nine superhero pokies available to play now!
9. The Dark Knight Rises
The final to Christopher Nolan’s Batman trilogy saw the caped crusader broken by Tom Hardy’s villainous Bane, but the pokie based on the film tries its best to make everyone a winner. Microgaming’s adaptation offers 243 ways to win, as well as a free spins accumulator. There’s even a Fight Mode bonus round where you can play as either Batman or Bane, with your selection gathering free spins and multipliers for you. Playing as Bane will also activate Rolling Reels, where winning combinations explode, causing a cascade and more chances to win.
8. Superman: Last Son of Krypton
The game designers at Amaya haven’t picked a specific book or film with their Superman game, but rather rely on tropes and characters who’ve defined the Man of Steel for half a century. Symbols include Superman in the Fortress of Solitude and his alter-ego Clark Kent dashing for the nearest telephone box to change costume. Lois Lane and the Daily Planet building both appear on the reels, along with card symbols J, Q, K and A. Amaya has cleverly worked them into the theme, making them letters in the headlines written by Clark himself.
7. Super Heroes
Swedish software developer Yggdrasil created its own Super Heroes to do battle in this 20 payline pokie. Along with its marvel of heroes, the game brings with it a cape-flapping amount of bonus features, including wild reels, random wilds and mystery wins. Although the newly formed heroes may not replace fan favourites, the stunning graphics make this one of the most immersive superhero pokies you’ll ever play.
6. Hellboy
This lesser-known anti-Superhero was created by comic artist Mike Mignola, and has developed a cult following with two movies made and a third in the works. Quickfire Gaming has gone straight to the source material of the graphic novels, borrowing Mignola’s distinctive style. The reels feature Hellboy’s odd set of friends, including Abe Sapien, Liz Sherman, and Johann Kraus. Bonuses include a randomly triggered Supermode, and an Underworld bonus round if you land the Scatter symbol, Hellboy’s Right Hand of Doom.
5. Superman: The Movie
Another entry for the Man of Steel, this time developed by Playtech. The online slot is based on the classic 1978 film starring Christopher Reeve as Superman and Margot Kidder as Lois Lane. Both appear on the reels alongside Gene Hackman’s Lex Luthor, and Superman’s shining emblem. Stopping a missile will trigger free games, while reaching the Fortress of Solitude begins the exciting Crystal Bonus round.
4. Legend of the Golden Monkey
A superhero with an Eastern supernatural twist, Legend of the Golden Monkey is a pokie influenced by the Chinese novel Journey to the West. Software developer Yggdrasil has been inspired by the story and 16th Century Chinese culture, captured in a hand-drawn art style. The game features both stick and count down wilds, while the Golden Monkey himself will randomly appear to change one symbol to help you win.
3. The Flash: Velocity
NextGen Gaming brings the power of the speedforce to online pokies with The Flash. The Scarlett Speedster runs rings around his opponents on the reels, including Gorilla Grodd, Mirror Master, and the snarky Captain Cold. With 50 paylines, this is one fast-as-lightning race you don’t want to miss.
2. Batman & The Riddler Riches
Part of Playtech’s slot series based on the hit Batman TV show starring Adam West, this pokie pits him against the wise-cracking Riddler. The game features 243 ways to win, and comes complete with all the TV tropes, including the classic sound effects and words on the screen. Other pokies in the same series feature the Penguin, Catwoman, and Batgirl.
1. Justice League
Whereas Marvel has the Avengers, DC Comic’s top team is the Justice League, comprised of Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Cyborg, Aquaman, Green Lantern, and the Flash. NextGen Gaming brought these heroes together for an online slot that is as exciting as the pages of the comic books it’s based on. Spread over 25 paylines, the reels appear like panels from a comic book, with bonus features such as Stacked Wilds and Team Rescue to keep players busy.
