This week, Microgaming has released a new online poker machine based on the blockbuster film The Dark Knight Rises. The film was easily the most anticipated film of 2012, breaking box-office records and making millions of dollars. Now, the film has been reincarnated as a unique online pokie. The new Dark Knight Rises video poker machine is a 5-reel game that offers up 243 different ways to win with each spin.

This is because the game does not have individual paylines. Instead, the player makes one wager that triggers all potential winning combinations. Over time, the player spends less money than they would on a payline-based pokie and they open up even more winning opportunities. Microgaming has equipped The Dark Knight Rises with some fantastic bonus features.

The Expanding Wilds feature offers players the chance to hit more wins more frequently by stretching a single wild symbol along an entire reel. There are also split wild symbols, in which one symbol splits into two. This means that players can trigger more wins because fewer symbols are needed, and there is also the possibility to trigger the hugely generous six-of-a-kind win.

A brand new feature that is being introduced is the Symbol Scramble. If you spin the reels and a winning combination does not occur, you can choose to trigger this feature. When you do so, the game will scramble the symbols to create the best possible combinations to award the more generous prize. Several famous Batman characters will appear on the reels, include Bane.

Whenever the player fails to make a winning combination, they can trigger a bonus feature which lures Bane onto the reels. He and Batman will engage in a brutal fight, triggering free spins and multipliers as they duke it out. The Dark Knight Rises pokie has only just been released at online casinos, but we know that it will be a huge hit. We certainly advise giving this brand new poker game a spin.
