The final days of spinning for Power, Extra Power, Super Power and Ultimate Power jackpots are drawing near. As an affiliate, we’ve been getting notification emails from casino partners and it’s with a heavy heart, we bring you the news that Playtech’s Marvel slot games will no longer be available for real money play after March 31st.
Disney bought the Marvel Comics brand in 2009 and made the decision not to continue in the gambling industry. The only issue was the active licensing contracts with years remaining. Cryptologic first enticed us with branded games and was the first contract to expire. We waved goodbye to Crypto but all was not lost as Playtech launched its own series of classic comic slot games including Iron Man, Fantastic 4, The Incredible Hulk, Ghost Rider, X-Men, Captain America and more.
As difficult as this is to get through without shedding a tear, we suggest you play now and cry later. There’s only about 1 week of spinning left before Disney’s magical reputation is restored.
Lucky for us, Playtech won’t have us living a comic free life. The provider teamed up with Warner Bros. in February 2017 and as a result, they announced a new generation of slot games based on “Batman & The Joker Jewels, Batman & Catwoman Cash, Batman & The Penguin Prize, Batman & The Batgirl Bonanza, Batman & The Riddler Riches, and Batman & Mr. Freeze Fortune. In addition, Playtech has also launched slot games inspired by the hit films Man of Steel (2013), Green Lantern (2011), Superman (1978) and Superman II (1980)”. Green Lantern is already live at Playtech casinos.
Well, there you have it. Are you heartbroken to see Marvel slots go? Do remember when you first discovered them? Share your experiences here with us.

Regardless of the tastes of the players, that of "superheroes" was certainly a valid trend, capable of attracting both past and current generations. And even if a possible return of these slots thanks to a new concession of image rights is completely excluded. It would still have been an advertisement for Walt Disney because gambling is now very popular and offers great visibility. Indeed I do not exclude that later some slots with its characters could become a valid starting point for inspiration for the birth of a comic or a cartoon :)

Sarei curioso di sapere come stanno andando le slot che hanno sostituito quelle dalla Marvel.

E anche se è completamente da escludere un possibile ritorno di queste slot grazie ad una nuova concessione dei diritti di immagine. Sarebbe stata comunque pubblicità per la WaltDisney perchè il gioco d'azzardo è ormai fortemente diffuso e offre una grande visibilità. Anzi non escludo che più avanti qualche slot con i suoi personaggi possa diventare un valido spunto di ispirazione per la nascita di un fumetto o un cartone animato :)

I believe that the accumulated jackpots will pass on the new Age of the Gods series and personally, beyond the graphic tastes, I will try to find one that is closest to the payout levels of Ironman2 ... which from the first searches results in King of Olympus.

Sad news! These games were such fan favorites, but looking forward to upcoming DC Comics slots, plus their huge network-wide promotion that's in talks of coinciding with the roll out. Much to come from Playtech!

My first Marvel slots experience was at InterCasino yearssssss ago - back before UIGEA. They weren't my favorites but they were among the first games I played as a newbie online gambler. Ah the memories.... Even though I preferred those to Playtech, it's still sad to see the end of an era.

Marvel slot games were entertaining and I love the movies, so I'm sad to witness their final days, but from a player's point of you, honestly... good riddance. In my opinion those are the games with the most noticeable difference between fun and real money mode. I lost so much money that I completely stopped playing them....

Damn shame really! I loved Playtech's Marvel slots so much, possibly even more than Cryptologic's. The Hulk was one of my all time favorite slots, 25 line version in particular. Hopefully, DC comics ones that are to replace these will be in par engine and paytable-wise.

Oh, this is a very very shocking news!!! So, the entire Marvel games will be no longer available for real money, wow. The Marvel Menu will disappear. Actually, I am not a big fan of the Marvel Jackpot slots because most of them are pretty much the same. But, many casinos might lose their Marvel players as I guess, in case that the existing players change to the D.C. Comics slots. Very interesting. I will open the Marvel slots the first thing in the morning on April 1st and see what would happen, though. Thanks for the news.

I think it's awesome that they replaced Marvel with DC. I liked Marvel games though but I strongly believe we will enjoy DC's games as well. So, I actually can't wait.
