Superman The Movie Slots
The 1970s are remembered for a lot of things, from flared trousers and questionable moustaches, but one of the main aspects we remember is Superman. This was the time period that the movie starring Christopher Reeve was released. It was well received then and is still popular now. So is it any wonder that Playtech decided to create a game based on the film?
In truth, Playtech have been on a binge of sorts, developing both DC Comics and Marvel slots, resulting in a big influx of superhero activities. Although this sounds brilliant, not all of their slot machines are made equal, which you’ll know if you’ve played the Daredevil slot from them. Fortunately, Superman The Movie is a much better thought out and designed title.
Number One Fan
Just before we get down to putting on that blue and red suit, we want to talk about Playtech and its love for Superman. Not only have they made many other hero games, but they’ve made three of this hero in total, with its most recent focused on the remake of the franchise, Superman, Man of Steel. All of that tells us that this brand is the one to go to if you’re in need of a Clark Kent fix, retro or modern; we can’t think of any other label that we’d recommend more.
Each of the titles have their own unique components and features, but we’d have to say that Superman The Movie is the best because it’s based on the original. Nothing can beat the originals. No matter your stance though, you’ll have three lots of 5-reels to playthrough, with all of them offering exclusive specials unique to the games. Don’t pass up the opportunity to explore the Playtech Superman love affair…!
Jackpot!
If you’ve played with Playtech before, this section is going to be stating a lot of obvious information to you – sorry in advance, folks. You see, the brand includes progressive payouts in a lot of their DC Comics games, which is why there’s a DC Comics Jackpot across all the titles. Although this means you get a lot of repetition, it’s for a good cause because it’s all about making lots of money.
There are four levels: Mini, Minor, Major and Grand – each of them delivering varying amounts, as you’d expect given the difference in subheadings. However, what you might not be aware of is that you have to play a mini game to get the jackpots. The triggering of the mini level is random, but once you’re inside it, players have to match three of the same coloured tiles to win the amount attributed to that level of money. The minimum bet is 0.60, while the maximum is 80.00.
Locked Into Place
You didn’t think we’d leave you hanging about the bonuses did you? We’re not that mean! Inside the 5 reels and 100 paylines of this real cash slot, you have the Save the Day Free Games. We know, free games, ugh, but these are actually a lot more impressive than your standard reward. When you land the extra spins icon on the first, third or fifth reels, you’ll enter into 10 spins, in which the Superman logo sticks in place. It stays there for all 10 games.
Then after those games, Superman himself shows up and rewinds time so you can live through the fun all over again, with those same symbols locked in place. What this means is that you end up with 20 games, all of which should produce some impressive results. However, considering we never experienced the rounds for ourselves, we’re guessing it’s not meant to be an easy feature to activate. Still, it’s nice knowing it’s there to unlock.
Always Super
Superman The Movie is always going to be a winner simply because of the character it’s based on. This is because the hero has so many layers, a fact which was discussed by Bill in the finale of the second Kill Bill film; those words have stuck with us for years. Whether you feel the same level of love for Clark Kent is a different matter though…
Personally, we’d play this game again, and so we’d recommend it to all players, but as for the others, we just don’t see the point. It feels like the brand is simply trying to make a quick buck rather than deliver exceptional content. And yet, on the other hand, they’ve put a lot of effort into making sure this slot plays well and looks the part, so clearly they’re invested in their partnership with DC.
