Online gambling games provider Playtech plc has partnered with Warner Bros. Consumer Products, on behalf of DC Entertainment, to launch the first two of six slot games based on DC’s 1960’s Batman Classic TV Series.
A media release from Playtech advises that in addition to these desktop and mobile progressive jackpot games to be released this year, more Warner Bros. Consumer Products DC branded titles are planned for release in 2017 and beyond.
In the first two new slots, Batman & The Joker Jewels and Batman & Catwoman Cash, players help the Caped Crusader take on two of Gotham City’s toughest Super-Villains. Both games feature classic footage and catchphrases from the popular Batman Classic TV Series.
In both slot games, and in every Playtech DC-branded title, any spin can win one of four progressive DC Super Heroes Jackpots including the DC Super Heroes progressive jackpot game that is linked to every slot in the Super Hero series.
The additional titles include Superman I (1978), Superman II (1980), Man of Steel (2013) and Green Lantern (2011), that are due to be released by the end of this year and in early 2017.
Batman & The Joker Jewels is a five-reel, 25-line slot game. True to the original DC 1960s classic Batman television series, the Super Hero faces off with the maniacal mayhem of the infamous Joker. Players can have the last laugh by unlocking The Joker Random Wilds, which add up to nine extra Wild symbols to the reels on any main game spin for a big win.
Players can side with either the Caped Crusader or the Clown Prince of Crime, as they watch both Batman and The Joker jostle in unlimited free games with a variable win multiplier of up to 5x.
In the desktop and mobile release Batman & Catwoman Cash, Batman confronts Catwoman. Desktop and mobile players can spin their way to pay-out opportunities and battle big win multipliers; they can also increase their free games win multiplier in the Cat Burglar In-Reel Bonus for stacked symbol wins or hit the quick re-trigger bonus.
Two Scatters deliver mystery prizes and reveal a cash reward or a boost to a free games win multiplier. Free games wins are multiplied by up to five times and include a random super, stacked symbol.
Shimon Akad, COO, Playtech, said: “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 progressive jackpot slot content and will provide our licensees and DC Super Hero fans with the ultimate Batman gaming experience.”
