Leading software providers, Playtech and Crytologic, are enjoying the extra interest that the new X-men movie, X-Men: First Class, has generated in their Marvel Comic themed slot titles. The new film was released in the UK and the US recently and this prequel to the earlier X-Men movies has generated significant interest within the gaming community.
Software provider, Cryptologic, and the world’s largest publicly-traded online gaming software supplier, Playtech, have two Marvel branded X-Men slot games on offer at various online casinos – and both titles have experienced a surge in lucky players.
Cryptologic’s M-Men slot is based upon the Marvel Comics while Playtech’s offering is based on the Marvel Movies. However, although players are celebrating on their own by wagering on these two X-Men slots, surprisingly neither Cryptologic online casinos nor Playtech online casinos are linking their current promotions to the X-Men latest film release. We feel this will change in the coming weeks as casinos start to feel the X-Men fever heating up.
Firstly, Cryptologic’s X-Men slot has symbols taken from characters from the X-Men legend such as Xavier, Wolverine, Storm, Cyclops, Jean Grey, Night Crawler, Rogue and Gambit. Then of course there is the Brotherhood of Mutants led by Magneto along with Mystique and Sabretooth. Possibly the highlight of Cryptologic X-Men slot is the bonus game waiting for players on the second screen where there is a battle commencing between the player's chosen super hero and an adversary.
There is a three level progressive jackpot linked to the Marvel Slots. These jackpots can be hit randomly and the chance of reaching them is much greater with bigger wagers. The Cryptologic X-Men slot game can be found at various online casinos, including InterCasino and Littlewoods Casino.
Although the Cryptologic slot title is one of the most popular, the Playtech version is certainly worth serious consideration by slots fans. Both slots have been even more popular since the latest X-Men movie release, so here is the low-down on Playtech’s X-Men offering:
The Playtech X-Men slot game features characters from X-Men as symbols on the reels, but not only this, each animation displays the super powers of each individual character. The special X Feature awards 5 times the total bet in the situation that only super heroes are occupying the 5 positions on reels 2, 3 and 4 forming an X. The Heroes mode and the Villains mode can be found on the Free Games feature and it toggles between the two modes with the game beginning in the Heroes mode.
With a four level Marvel Mystery Jackpot, Playtech’s X-Men slot can be found at various online casinos, including Bet365 Casino, Grand Palace and Casino Tropez.
The current interest in these slots has created quite a buzz at the casinos supporting the Cryptologic and Playtech software. Check out all the fun for yourself and you might find some superhero-induced winnings heading your way!
