The Dark Knight

The Dark Knight is no stranger to anyone, even if he guards his secrecy ever so carefully. This Playtech game is pretty obvious when it comes to the theme, banking on the 2008 bestseller movie to entice the players. That, of course, means nothing if the game is not well done and the necessary big wins are there to be claimed.

Theme

The City of Gotham opens up far in the background, with our hero standing tall to protect his town on the forefront. As this is a slot about half of the symbols are from the annals of classics, or in other words, the playing card ranks. The remaining symbols are the character-actors from the movie itself. The music and sound effects are the least impressing part of this game, as neither feel fitting for the theme.

Betting Options and Functions

The setup is expanded from what you usually find in different slots. Not only are there more paylines than usual, fifty in total, but there is also an extra reel and a row in the play. The winning lines connect from both the left and the right side of the screen, which with the fifty lines increases the chances of spectacular wins quite considerably.

Though the game details come with big numbers the bet itself is quite low. From 0.20 to 15 coins per spin should suit most players just well. Three to six symbols come with big and small prizes alike. The total range tells of quite high volatility, as any line bet can return a pot of between five and 1500 times the stake.

Features

Re-spins and free spins form the all-important special features here, with DC jackpots thrown in to truly make your luck count. Both Joker and Batman have their own respins, with stacked wilds either on reel one or six. Both characters have their own symbol which launched the feature, and two extra symbols that lock into place to allow another respin. There’s even a symbol to pay out your total bet as an extra win!

The free games are pretty much the same, with just different symbols granting the same features. With three bonus symbols the feature starts, with seven free spins granted in both instances. When Batman shows up on the reels he locks in place as a wild, whereas Joker symbols form up into massive chaotic big icons that score extra big wins!

The DC Playtech jackpots are also in play. There are four different ones from mini to grand, and the whole feature can trigger completely at random.

Our Take

The Dark Knight is one of the best license slots out there, even if it combines into quite a regular slot. The gameplay simply works, whereas the theme is done so well that it feels like a natural part of the slot. Try out for yourself and grab a jackpot!
