Black Widow Introduction
Black Widow is a 5-reel poker machine from International Game Technology & High5. The game is highly popular in land-based gaming clubs and casinos around the world, due to Black Widow’s unique bonus features and generous winning potential. This popular title is now available in online casinos - and, we offer it free at Online Pokies 4U!
Format
IGT’s Black Widow pokie is available as a 40-payline game and a 15-payline game. The experience differs depending on which version of the game you play. With 40 paylines, you have more betting options and can trigger more winning combinations. However, the take advantage of all the of the betting options available to you, you have to spend a bit more money.
On the 15-payline version, the max bet is much more affordable but you have fewer winning opportunities.
Stacked Symbols
The game features the unique Selective Stacking bonus. When this feature is triggered, a particular symbol remains stacked on one reel. This creates more potential for winning opportunities because a single reel is full of the same symbols. This feature is only offered on a few other IGT pokies (Vivaldi’s Seasons and The Mighty Atlas), and we highly recommend that you try it out.
Deadly Bonuses
A game named Black Widow would not be complete without a bit of morbid humour – and IGT delivers. Whenever a symbol depicting a male appears on the middle slot on the middle payline, he is captured by the Black Widow. He is then squeezed for credits, and the player wins generous bonus prizes. There is also a less-frightening free spins round.
When this feature is triggered, the player earns seven free spins, and they can earn more as the round progresses. Players can retrigger the free spins bonus game a total of 13 times before returning to the base game.
International Game Technology is well-known for producing a wide range of inventive poker machines, and Black Widow is a perfect example of the kinds of innovative and unique titles that the company produces. While the theme may not appeal to all players, the bonus features are certainly attractive enough to capture one’s attention.
