Batman Slot

Batman is without a doubt one of the most popular Superheroes of all time, rating up there with the likes of Superman, Spiderman, Wolverine and Wonder-Woman. We've seen many films in recent years from the classic Tim Burton Batman through to the more recent Dark Knight Returns featuring Christian Bale's Batman vs. Heath Ledger's Joker. Even though Batman is one of the world's most popular Superheroes we've got to point out that he's pretty unique in that he doesn't actually have any super-powers, instead he relies on his advanced gadgetry and martial arts abilities to win the battle against the bad guys. Now, after all the books, films, comics and the rather camp sixties TV series we've finally got Gotham city's finest enshrined in a online slot machine, so let's take a look at it and find out if it's any good.

Firstly, looking at the Batman online slot's graphics, you've got a bunch of symbols that will be familiar to even the most casual fan of the Bat-genre, with motifs such as Commissioner Gordon, the Batarang and a Joker making up some of this game's reel markers. Audio-wise the game is mercifully free of soundtracks with reel spin noises and congratulatory sound-waves for combination wins making up the sonic offering from this great slot machine.

The Batman online slot is set up as a five reel game, with twenty stop spaces showing, which allows you an amazing fifty pay-lines to bet on. The game also has a bonus bet feature, which requires you to bet on all fifty lines, costing a further ten stake amounts to access. The bonus bet feature allows access to the Descent into Madness sub-game, which we'll come to later. The Batman logo is used to make up this slot game's scatter symbol. The game also has a wild symbol in the form of the Batman character symbol that not only substitutes for any other symbol (barring of course the scatter logo symbol) but also doubles any prize it appears with in combination; however this symbol will only appear on reel two, three and four. One of the great things however about the wild Batman symbol is that is doesn't appear in single symbols, instead it appears as stacks of Batman symbols, so when you hit with the Batman wild, you'll hit big.

As with many slot machines on the market today, the Batman online slot offers a re-spin game, which on this slot game is activated by stopping in either the Bat-symbol or the Commissioner Gordon symbol in reels one or five. It doesn't matter which order you stop the symbols in, as long as the opposite symbols appear in either end reel. When you hit these two symbols, one of the middle three reels will expand into a completely wild Batman reel and will hold in place for the re-spin round. Then, all the other reels are re-spun three times with any win you achieve doubled. You can retrigger this respin bonus game as many times as the Batman online slot will allow.

If you've got the bonus bet activated, then as we mentioned before, you can access the Descent into Madness sub-game. This is the cherry on the Batman online slot's cake and we'd recommend playing the bonus bet all the time so you've got a chance of accessing this wonderfully well thought out bonus game. The Descent into Madness sub-game is accessed by stopping in three or more Bat bonus symbols on sequential reels from left to right. Once you've hit the necessary combination you'll find yourself sitting behind a Batarang battling the inmates of the fabled Arkham asylum. Once you're done with the normal inmates, then you have to contend with the asylum's most famous patient, The Joker. Stop the Clown Prince of Crime's escape to hit the big prize on offer from this sub-game of one hundred times your original stake amount.

The Batman slot game has just about every element you could think of covered, from the fun-time Descent into Madness sub-game to the big paying respin bonus. There's more than enough to keep every level of slot player engrossed in this wonderful slot game, just as you'd expect from a reel game based on a Superhero with such multi-lateral appeal.
