Guest Post - Did You Know Your Favorite Comic Book Heroes Have Their Own Online Slots?

We’ve all seen the Marvel movies, watched a trailer for the DC TV shows and had a dabble on the comic book-based console games, but did you know there are also plenty of online games based on your favorite heroes as well? Here, we’ve found three of the best iGaming titles where you can watch your heroes in action.
Batman Dark Knight
Over the years, we’ve seen plenty of Batman products for all platforms, Lego games, Batman shirts, magnets and more. Batman also become a games theme that released on consoles and desktops, and it seems they’re really popular in the world of iGaming. Of all the Batman releases though, it’s Batman Dark Knight that seems to always come out on top. This has been great news for fans of Microgaming as it's encouraged the game developers to bring out more superhero slots over the last few years. Based on the blockbuster movie, the Dark Knight online slot features 5 reels, 3 rows and 243 ways to win, as well as plenty of symbols that’ll have you thinking back to the movie.
Avengers
Microgaming isn’t the only iGaming developer that’s interested in comic book heroes though, as it’s clear from the Avengers slot that Playtech is pretty into them too. Iron Man, Hulk, Captain America, Thor, Hawkeye, Black Widow and even Nick Fury appear in this 5 reel, 20 payline slot. Along with astounding design, graphics and sound – all of which Playtech is renown for – there’s also plenty of bonus rounds and features including Avengers Assemble On Reels, Wall of Heroes and free spins. These can be triggered by Thor, Captain America or Hulk so there are plenty of chances.
Thor: The Mighty Avenger
Another Playtech winner is the Thor slot, which is undoubtedly a better way to spend your time than watching Thor: The Dark World. We had to choose between the Captain America slot and Thor’s but settled on the latter since it may be behind some other popular slots such as Asgardian Stones and even Avalon, a top game often listed at many casinos featured on reviews of the top sites available. Symbols in the Thor slot include Thor himself, his mighty hammer, Loki, Odin, Heimdall the Gatekeeper and even Jane Foster. Get these symbols in the right order and you could trigger the Thunderstorm re-spin, the Lightning Free Spin or the Rainbow Bridge feature where you can choose between Jotunheim or Earth for games.

Now that you know these games are online for you to play anytime, anywhere, we’re sure you’ll have no trouble catching up with your favorite heroes and beating those pesky villains to save the world.
