The Dark Knight
The Dark Knight is a Microgaming progressive jackpot slot that is based on the hit motion picture movie of the same name, starring Christian Bale as Batman, and the late Heath Ledger as The Joker. The slot utilises a slot of graphics from the movie, and has light hearted and even comedic animations at times. One of the most popular progressive jackpots at the minute, The Dark Knight can be found in any casino where Microgaming titles are present.
How to play The Dark Knight
The Dark Knight will permit players to wager anything from a lowly minimum stake of 0.30 per spin, up to a maximum of 6.00 per spin. With 241 paylines present in the slot, none of the paylines are adjustable, so gamers will instead have to rely on coin values from 0.01 and 0.02, with up to 10 coins per line, in order to alter their gameplay setup and stakes.
Most of the icons used on the reels are from the motion picture, including several characters including Harvey Dent, The Joker, Batman and others. Each of the icons is somewhat animated, making the slot far more advanced and cinematic than other similar super hero themed slots that don’t have this quality.
Features
There are plenty of special features included in the design of this slot game. The scatter icon is the batman logo on the Joker’s face, and three or more of these icons will trigger free spins. During free spins, the Joker might decide to humorously whack either the multiplier or free spins counter for a laugh, giving you more of either.
The wild icon is the Batman symbol. In this slot machine game, the wilds can be expanding, and it is also possible for Batman to drop down and hold the wild reel whilst the others spin.
It is also possible for The Joker or Batman to land randomly on the prize box and add a couple more coins to your win, or to shoot certain tiles on the screen to offer more money to players.
Progressive Jackpot
Arguably the most attractive thing about this slot is still the progressive jackpot. There are a couple of progressives to win, with each progressive jackpot being randomly triggered. When it is, the player will get to spin a wheel of fortune that will be divided up into the different levels of progressive jackpots. The higher the player has staked prior to triggering the progressive bonus round, the more chances they will have on the wheel of picking up the top jackpot.
Overall
From a graphics perspective, one cannot fault The Dark Knight. From an audio perspective, one can do nothing more but love it. The music is taken from the film (so no cheesy sound effects), and the sound effects they do use are of The Joker and Batman themselves and definitely worth inclusion in the slot.
The sheer number of special features in this slot, coupled with the regularity of which they appear, make it exciting and thrilling to play.
Considering the pathetically tiny maximum wager, and the sheer amount of money that players could win, this slot is an absolutely must play for all gamers, and there’s little wonder why it has become so successful and popular.
