Batman & The Batgirl Bonanza Slot

The Caped Crusader gets a helping hand from more than just the Boy Wonder in Batman and The Batgirl Bonanza, a 5 reel, 60 payline slot game from Playtech. Based on the 60s TV series starring Adam West, it comes with re-spins with frozen symbols and a bonus feature that awards up to 25 free spins. Head to Gotham City from between 30p and £30 per spin. 



The design in Batman and The Batgirl Bonanza has a real kitsch feel - symbols on show include a baterang, a utility belt, statue, walkie talkie and Batbelt. They're joined by Bruce Wayne's trusty butler Alfred, Robin, Batgirl and Batman himself. The Caped Crusader is the most rewarding of the standard symbols, paying 400 coins for a 5 in a row combo. Batman, Robin and Batgirl can all land fully stacked and fill the whole reel in which they appear.

The 3 superheroes can appear together (Batman and Batgirl, Batman and Robin, Batgirl and Robin) and stand for either character to create winning combinations – these are known as Bat-Gang Co-Op symbols. The Batman logo is the wild, replacing all other symbols bar the scatter and offering payouts of 30, 100 or 2,000 coins.

The reel set up is a little unusual here. The 2 leftmost reels are only 2 rows high with the remaining 3 reels 4 high. If you manage to find 4 of the same symbol on reels 1 and 2 (this can be single, Bat-Gang Co-Op or wild symbols), then you'll trigger the Batgirl Locked Respins feature. You'll receive 5 respins with the 4 matching symbols in the first 2 columns being locked in place.

The second feature, the Batman Team-Up Free Games feature, is triggered when the Bonus symbol hits on reels 3, 4 and 5 on the same spin. After being shown a brief clip from the Batman TV show (which you can skip), you'll be taken to a new screen and presented with selection of 12 tiles.

Pick matching symbols to reveal the number of free spins you'll receive. 3 Robins award 12 free spins, 4 Batgirls 17 free spins and 5 Batmans 25 free spins. During the free spins, the first 2 reels will be made up of giant 2x2 symbols which give your winning chances an extra boost.

The Batgirl Locked Respins feature come along much more often than the free spins, hitting at regular intervals. The chance of bagging a real biggie is more likely in the free spins round where the guaranteed giant symbols on the first 2 reels can be as helpful as anything you'd find on Batman's utility belt.

There's also a shot at winning 1 of 4 jackpot prizes as the game is part of the DC Comics Super Heroes network. This can hit at random on any spin with the Grand jackpot the most lucrative.

Well designed with a funky/cheesy soundtrack, Batman and The Batgirl Bonanza offers plenty of entertainment. The features match up to the good looks too and offer plenty of winning potential. If you liked the corny sixties TV incarnation of Batman, this game should be a real treat. I also recommend you try other slots in this series with Batman & The Riddler Riches an excellent choice.
