There are plenty of superhero slot machines around but there’s always room for one more, especially if it’s a Marvel slot from Cryptologic which of course features their Marvel progressive jackpot.  This one is based on the Marvel comic and film, Fantastic Four, which relates the story of four scientists exposed to gamma rays in space and given interesting superhuman powers.  You can read about Playtech‘s more recent version of this slot here.

This five reel and twenty five payline slot is set in outer space and aside from the standard playing cards to represent the low value symbols we also have some theme-related symbols as the higher value ones. From low to high value we have a beaker, a craft, the F4 headquarters and a DNA helix.  The scatter symbol is the F4 logo and each reel has it’s own wild card – one character for each reel:

• Reel One – Mr. Fantastic
• Reel Two – Invisible Woman
• Reel Three – Human Torch
• Reel Four – The Thing
• Reel Five – Dr. Doom

Bonus Features

Fantastic Four Feature

Three or more scatter symbols landed anywhere on the reels will trigger this bonus feature and as you can see from the video below you will be given the choice of five different games as follows:

• Mr. Fantastic – 15 free games with a 2x multiplier; Mr. F appearing on reel one will expand to cover the whole reel.
• Invisible Woman – 10 free games with a 3x multiplier; Invisible Woman on reel two will award more free games.
• The Thing – 15 free games with a random multiplier between 2x and 10x applied to each win.
• Human Torch – 10 free games with a 3x multiplier; more Human Torch wilds are added randomly during the free spins.
• Dr. Doom – unlimited free games are awarded until Dr. Doom appears on reel five to end the fun.  As you can see from the video below it’s not always a guaranteed money maker.

Marvel Jackpot

As with all Cryptologic Marvel slots all players will be eligible to play the Marvel Jackpot; it’s awarded randomly but you’ll have a better chance if your stakes are higher.  If you do get lucky you’ll have the chance to win the Hero Jackpot, the Superhero Jackpot or the Marvel Hero Jackpot.

Verdict

Fantastic Four maintains the standards set out in Cryptologic’s other Marvel slots and it’s an enjoyable enough diversion with the multiple bonus games adding an extra something.

It’s possible to wager as little as €0.01 on one payline up to €250.00 per spin with everything maxed out.
