Fantastic Four Slot

The Fantastic Four was originally one of the more obscure Marvel titles that's never really shared the same fanatical following as characters like the Hulk, Spiderman, or the crime fighting team of the X-Men. The first comic actually debuted in 1961 making the Fantastic Four the first superhero team to be created by the now legendary Stan Lee. Like many Marvel heroes the four were created during a space mission when their ship became exposed to cosmic rays giving each of them different powers. Captain Fantastic, The Thing, The Human Torch and The Invisible Woman were created from the crew of the ship and became a kind of dysfunctional family who always managed to win out against the bad guys in the end. The comic never received the attention lavished on rival Marvel titles until a few years ago, when big screens saw the arrival of a Hollywood adaptation of this classic comic into a film, wowing a new generation. With so many slot machines available on the market, it was only going to be matter of time before some bright spark put two and two together, making a Fantastic Four slot game.

The Fantastic Four online slot game is played on 20 pay lines across 5 reels. You can bet as little as 1p per line to a maximum of £5 giving this machine a max bet of £100 per spin for the big slot Things out there. You'll light up like a Human Torch when you see the great graphics on offer from this slot, as you'd expect very little else other than the best visual display from a slot associated with comic book masters Marvel. The sound effects are right on the money too with just the right level of audio enhancing the game but never, ever overpowering the player with unnecessary racket. Like many slots on the online market today this game features an auto spin function so you can watch the reels spin away or even set the slot to play in the background, so you can multitask like the Invisible Woman.

You'd be forgiven for thinking that they'd only be four bonus features within this slot game, thanks to the title, but developers have gone one better with five bonus features on this great online slot. Each bonus game is based around the four original characters from the comic book series with the addition of the gang's nemesis, Dr Doom, as the character giving the fifth bonus game its focus. Each of the bonus games award a free spin feature where the wins are doubled, tripled, or even (in the case of The Thing's bonus game) multiplied by a factor dependant on exactly where you stop those reels. The bonus games are activated by scattering in 3 or more Fantastic Four symbols in view and you'll be delighted to know that you can choose which one of the characters best suits your slot style as you try for the bigger wins on offer from this machine. The only down point with the bonus games is that there is no nested bonus, as the bonus reels don't feature the scatter win symbol, meaning that the bonus game can't be retriggered inside itself.

The Fantastic four is an ideal slot for the slot novice as the bonus games are incredibly easy to play, meaning slot beginners can relax in the knowledge that they're getting the maximum possible from the bonus without feeling like they might be losing out from not having all the insider knowledge. More experienced slot jockeys will be more interested in the game's top prize of £25,000, which would make any captain pretty damn fantastic.
