Themed online slot games are seemingly on the rise. More and more online slot games are being designed and developed all the time, and an increasing number of them are based on famous films, popular TV programmes, classic bands, and even superheroes.
Focussing on superheroes specifically, why wouldn’t you want to play on an online slot game with a superhero theme? After all, the two go together quite well. If superheroes have special powers, maybe that will bring you the luck you need to scoop a jackpot!
Essentially, online slot games designers are giving their games themes to make them more enticing. If a new blockbuster about Batman or Wonder Woman is released at the cinema, it’s astute marketing to then release a game relating to that theme – also try Legends of Cleopatra.
Whether you’re into DC or Marvel, seeing your favourite superhero on a slot machine just makes it that bit more attractive to play. There’s often real footage from the film too, which players enjoy.
Iron Man 2
This online slot game designed by Playtech showcases some great graphics and sound effects from the Iron Man 2 movie. It has a great Free Spins feature where the multiplier value goes up to 6x. It also features stacked symbols in 2s which will boost your winnings considerably. You can also win one of four progressive jackpots which makes it extremely popular to play.
Thor
Another effort from Playtech, the Thor online slot game features all your favourite characters like Loki, Heimdall, and Odin, as well as Thor himself. It has so many fantastic features, but maybe the best one is the Rainbow Bridge bonus which is triggered when Heimdall covers reel 3.
Batman
As there are so many Batman films, it was only a matter of time before he made the transition to online slot games. However, this game by NYX is based entirely on the comics and not on the movie franchise. The game has 5 reels featuring colourful symbols including the Batmobile, Batcycle and the Joker playing card.
Captain America
This is another slot game based on the movie featuring images and characters from the franchise. The sound effects are immersive and detailed making it a fun slot game to play. Prize symbols can trigger prizes when there are 3, 4 or 5 on a pay-line. Plus, all of these prizes can be won throughout the main game and the bonus games.
Superman
Another online slot game from Playtech based on a classic superhero character. It’s colourful, bright, and the gameplay is as smooth as Superman himself. The slot is a 6 reel, 4096 ways-to-win jackpot slot that can be played from 40p to £500 a spin on all devices.
It comes with a Power Symbols feature where symbols expand in four directions for enhanced wins. There’s also a Free Games feature where you can win infinite free spins and Power Ups with high value Superman symbols. Finally, there are four progressive jackpots to be won at random.
