With the recent success of superhero movies, it’s no wonder why comic book slots and pokies are becoming incredibly popular in the online casino world. We are starting to see more and more online pokie developers delve into the alternative universes of Marvel and DC, creating some fantastic games with impressive themes and innovative gameplay.
The next superhero slots game will be released by PlayTech, as the company will be creating an online pokie based on the original Batman television series. This won’t be the first time that all of that campy 1960s goodness will be immortalised as a casino game, as Aristocrat launched its own Batman Classic TV Series poker machine a couple of years ago.
There will be several games in the Batman series from PlayTech, and the first game will be called Batman & The Joker Jewels. This will be a 25-payline game whch will feature random multipliers. The next game is called Batman & Catwoman Cash, which features free spins and generous multipliers. Following this series, Playtech will also launch more online pokies based on other DC superheroes like Superman.
"I'm extremely proud of our collaboration between Warner Bros. Consumer Products and Playtech's innovative development studios,” says Shimon Akad, COO of Playtech.
“The Batman Classic TV Series games, that will rapidly be followed by Superman I, Superman II, and Man of Steel and a whole host of other DC Super Hero branded games, are a premium addition to our best-performing range of the industry's leading progressive jackpot slot content and will provide our licensees and DC Super Hero fans with the ultimate Batman gaming experience."
So, keep your eyes peeled for this fantastic new selection of online pokies. The first game in the Batman series is due to be released before the end of the year, so you won’t be waiting too long. In the meantime, there is a whole host of other superhero pokies that you can play here for free, including:
- The Dark Knight Rises: a 243 Ways to Win online pokie from Microgaming which features expanding wilds, stacked symbols and a generous free spins round
- The Incredible Hulk: a 50 payline online pokie from Playtech that offers up expanding symbols and free spins
- Judge Dredd: a 25-payline game from NYX that offers up the innovative SuperBet feature and a free spins round
