First, the visuals which owe more to the recent movie adaptation starring Edward Norton and Liv Tyler rather than the cult 1970s classic featuring Lou Ferrigno. The black backdrop has more than a hint of green with the reels packed full of police cars, helicopter, chemical flasks and radioactivity signs. They're not as elaborate as some later Marvel-inspired slot but they're nice and clear and do the job just fine.
The Hulk himself acts as the game's wild. When he appears in the middle position of reel 3, he will turn into an expanding wild. You'll also be awarded 2 bonus respins with the expanding wild remaining in place for both. The same applies if the Hulk appears on reels 2, 3 and 4 at the same time. All 3 rows will become expanding wilds offering some very lucrative opportunities.
Look out too for the Smash Bonus symbols which trigger a bonus feature when they appear on reels 1 and 5. Once active, you'll be transported to a new screen where the Hulk has to throw a fire hydrant at a selection of police cars. You get to choose 3 of them, behind each will be a cash bonus. Once these are done, the Hulk takes aim at one of 3 helicopters to reveal a multiplier which will be applied to the cash bonuses already won.
The Incredible Hulk Logo is the scatter. Find 3 or more of them to trigger the Free Games feature - you'll be awarded 10 free spins with all wins boosted by a 3x multiplier and trebled. Expanding Hulk wins are also tripled in the feature too. It's possible to trigger the free spins indefinitely so look out for those scatters.
The 50 payline version of The Incredible Hulk is one of Playtech's best Marvel offerings - it's one of their older joint ventures but has stood the test of time. The graphics are perfectly serviceable but where the Hulk really comes into its own is in the features. They're a good selection, keeping the pace high and the action rolling along nicely. The overall variance is medium, with a nice balance of payouts possible.
The Hulk famously said “You wouldn't like me when I'm angry”. We'd tend to disagree. In this slot, when the Hulk gets into a frenzy it can certainly deliver buckets full of coins. If you like Marvel-themed slots, The Avengers and Thor The Mighty Avenger are also superb.
