The Dark Knight Rises Slot Review - PlayTech

Join Batman and the Agent of Chaos in an Epic Battle

Dark Knight Rises Slot Review - PlayTechThere are a lot of Batman themed slots out there. The Dark Knight is part of the excellent DC Comics range from PlayTech. It shares a progressive jackpot game with other titles in this range – including the Green Lantern and Justice League slots. There are live Batman Slots and others from MicroGaming.

You’ll find a lot going on with this slot – which has 6 reels instead of the usual 5. There are respin features on the reels, 3 different bonus features, plus your chance to pick for a progressive. There are also plenty of clips from the Dark Knight movie to keep you entertained.

Here are the highlights of PlayTech’s The Dark Knight slots:

  • Big 6-Reel Setup
  • Respins with Locking Wilds (2 Types)
  • Batman and the Joker Have Free Spins Games

Respin with Locking Wilds

There are two versions of this game, which are essentially the same. When you hit a stacked Batman on reel 1, this any other Batman symbols lock into place. You then get a short movie clip, and see a coin flip over the top of the reels.

If it lands on the Batman sign, you get another respin. Should any more Batman symbols get added, the coin flips again. This continues until you hit the other side of the coin – at which point your wins are calculated. With a few flips, there is plenty of big win potential here (Batman is a high paying symbol!).

Hitting a stacked joker symbol on reel 6 will trigger the same game (with a different clip). Here wild and joker symbols become locked.

Agent of Chaos Free Spins

You only need two of the green bonus symbols (on reels 4 and 5) to trigger the first of the bonus games. You see a movie clip again – followed by another at the end.

This bonus gives you 7 free spins. The difference is that the joker symbols are different sizes – some of them are huge. You will have plenty more winning opportunities. This is not only with the bigger symbols, they also count in any position on the reels, as long as you get 3+ consecutively.

Batman Free Spins

A similar bonus, though this time with locking wilds. You need 2 Batman bonus symbols to trigger this – on reels 2 and 3. Again, you see a clip, followed by 7 free spins.

With locking batman symbols, the final few spins have the potential for some epic wins in this game.

Gotham City Free Spins

Here you need one of each of the bonus symbols adjacent to each other. This triggers a different free spins game. This one is the best of the bunch. You’ll get oversized symbols for both batman and the joker. The best bit comes when they overlap. Now the symbols become locked on the reels, and turn wild. A few big symbols overlapping is all you need for some major line hits!

DC Comics Superhero Jackpots

You can win a big progressive on the Dark Knight. This is shared between several slots in the DC range from PlayTech. It gets big, since it grows whenever people play any of the titles.

Instead of symbols to trigger it, the jackpot game kicks in at random. You’ll be sent to a screen showing stacks of hexagons, and simply click them to unveil your win. When this happens, you have definitely won a jackpot – the question is whether it is the big one, or one of the 3 smaller pots.

The Dark Knight Rises Slots Base Game and Setup

You’ll pay from just 20c a spin to enjoy this game. This seems like an odd number, as there are 50 win-lines in play – you can’t adjust these. You will find the standard auto-play and turbo-mode options are available.

With a huge 6-reel, 4 row grid, there are plenty of winning opportunities. Individual line hits are smaller. Your biggest wins will come from multi-line hits. This can happen in the bonus games with the big symbols or locking wilds. Stacked symbols in the base game also give you this opportunity.

Joker and Batman symbols have the biggest prizes. You will also find insignia wilds which connect the regular symbols for more wins. Other characters from the movie make up the middle tier of wins and playing cards the smaller prizes.

Movie Design of the Dark Knight Slots

You can tell this is the real thing, and not some ‘influenced by’ game. The clips from the amazing movie might well have you wanting to watch it again.

Behind the reels is a dark backdrop showing Gotham City. Right above the reels you’ll see the bat sign (along with the slot title) and the big progressives).

With 6 reels in play, things look crowded. The artwork is excellent, with the joker standing out. There are animations, though the ones in the bonus games are best. In the base game, zooming in and out is about the limit of it. Lines of silver shoot through your winning combinations.

Sound effects give this slot a darker feel than many, with the coin-flip and big symbol animations the best of the graphics.

Will the Dark Knight Slot ‘Rise’ Your Bankroll?

Another excellent game in the DC range from PlayTech. The Dark Knight will certainly have you coming back for more. The base game respins keep that part of the game fresh – though like many other PlayTech slots, the best is saved for the features.

With 3 different free spins games, plus the jackpot picks, there is plenty to keep you entertained. Locking wilds are my pick, in the Gotham City free spins game – give this slot a try and find out which bonus game you prefer!
