Earlier in the year Playtech had entered into an agreement with Marvel Movies for development of online slot games based on the superheroes of Marvel Movies. These are not be confused with Cryptologic Marvel slots that are based on Marvel Comics. The first two branded slot games of this series, The Incredible Hulk and Iron Man, were released last month and have been doing very well at all Playtech online casinos. Playtech has announced that the next four games of this series will be launched in early 2010. These games are Fantastic Four, X-Men, Elektra and Blade. Now further details about these forthcoming Marvel slots are available. Some of these slot games are previewed below.

The Fantastic Four slot game has been billed as “nothing short of FANTASTIC!” It is a 5 reel, 20 payline game with a top payout of 10,000 coins in the base game. Bonus rounds have become the center of attraction of slot games and Fantastic Four has five of them. Players can win free spins with the payouts multiplied 12 times. In addition they have a chance of winning four “special” free spins with four additional bonus features that include multiplying symbols, scattered wilds, expanding wilds and the innovative freezing wilds.

Players can get ready to pick a side in the mutant battle that is featured in the Marvel themed X-Men slot game. X-Men is a 5 reel, 25 payline game and like Fantastic Four has a top payout of 10,000 coins in the base game. Players can choose from two bonus round modes. They can play the free spins with the 8X multiplier either in the heroes mode or in the villain mode. The best feature in X-Men is the “X feature”. In this feature if players get any five heroes to form an “X” on the reels they will win 5 times the total wager.

Elektra is a rare female super hero and the Elektra slot game is hot. Though this 5 reel, 20 payline online slot has a top payout of only 5,000 coins in the base game it is no less exciting. The free spins come with 14X multipliers and there is the chance to win various multipliers, scattered wilds and expanding wilds. Each of the branded Marvel Movie slots from Playtech has a multi-level mystery jackpot that gives players the chance to cash-in on one of four progressives jackpots.
