Superman The Movie Introduction
In the poker machine market, we are seeing a proliferation of games based on exciting modern brands, such as The Walking Dead and The Dark Knight. While this is a huge trend at the moment, it is important not to forget about classic films and television series – and Aristocrat keeps these brands alive. Recently, the developer has launched a poker machine based on the classic Superman movie from 1978.
Superman was a ground-breaking film with a star-studded cast, including Marlon Brando, Gene Hackman and Christopher Reeve. The film was before its time with regards to special effects, and received a Special Achievement Academy Award for its visual effects in 1978. Superman was also nominated for three other Oscars: Best Film, Best Music and Best Sound Mixing.
In the decades following, the film has continued to receive recognition. In 2007, the Visual Effects Society named Superman as one of the most influential use of visual effects ever. The following year, Superman was named one of the greatest films of all-time by Empire Magazine and American Film Institute. Sadly we don't have this game available as a free play Pokie, but we do have another Superman game called Superman: Last Son of Krypton available to play for free.
The Land-based Pokie Machine
With its new Superman The Movie poker machine, Aristocrat aims to live up to the film’s legendary reputation. The game features clips from the film as well as sound effects and music from the soundtrack. So, fans of the film will feel a wave of nostalgia as they spin the reels on this pokie. In addition to being impressive from a design perspective, Aristocrat’s Superman The Movie also makes great use of interactive gaming features.
The Bonus Features
There are five generous interactive bonus rounds available: In the Super Strength Rockslide bonus, players are given the chance to respin the reels. They get five chances to respin. The round ends when the player wins a prize. If not, they are awarded a consolation prize. The Save Lois Lane bonus offers players 10 free spins.
After these spins are over, the player receives three Superman Spins, which can be retriggered for even more generous prizes. In the Superman REMIX feature, players get additional chances to win. The symbols reshuffle themselves to make the best winning combinations possible and the number of wild symbols is multiplied by 3x. The Fortress of Solitude Bonus is an arcade-style game.
In this bonus round, the player is given the opportunity to collect crystals. For each crystal they collect, a cash amount is added to their balance. This bonus also offers players the chance to cash in on the progressive jackpot. In the Lex Luthor Lair bonus, players are prompted to select up to five cases. Each one offers up credit payouts.
The round ends when Lex Luthor appears or when the player has used up their 5 choices. But, what good are bonus features if the game rarely awards them? You don’t have to worry about that with Superman The Movie. In this poker machine, Aristocrat has programmed the bonus features to trigger frequently, making the gaming experience more exciting and immersive.
