Suicide Squad Slot
Superman is dead, and you’re worried about what to do if another powerful being from another world comes to visit Earth – but not with the same good intentions as the Man of Steel. What do you do? If you’re the US Government in the DC Extended Universe, the answer is clear: you get a team of the world’s most powerful supervillains together in order to perform missions you wouldn’t dare risk sending people you care about on.
That’s the story of Suicide Squad, a 2016 film from Warner Bros. Pictures that is part of the DC Extended Universe, a series of films that feature all of the legendary characters from the comic book giant. It’s also the setting for Suicide Squad by Playtech, an upcoming slot release from the online gambling software provider. Featuring the same anti-heroes as the movie it is based on, this is likely to be one of the top slot releases of 2017.
Task Force X
The Suicide Squad video slot is one of the latest titles set to be included at online casinos offering software by Playtech. The game is part of a series of titles based on the slew of recent big budget DC movies that have been (or will soon be) in theaters in the last few years. In this case, it is some of the villains of the DC universe that take center stage, with notable evildoers like Deadshot, Harley Quinn, Killer Croc, and the Joker sure to appear in the game just as they did on the big screen. Given Playtech’s record, we’re sure players can expect to see plenty of video and audio clips from the film as well.
We don’t have any information on the betting options offered on this machine, but given what we know about other machines from this developer, we’re pretty confident in saying that both low stakes gamblers and high rollers will be happy with the choices available. There’s likely to be a play for free version that you can test as well. All new Playtech online slots are designed in HTML5, ensuring compatibility with Android and iPhone devices straight from launch.
A Top Secret Mission
We know virtually nothing about the game features that you’ll find in the Suicide Squad video slot, or even such basics as the number of reels or paylines that will be in play. Of course, we can assume that all the main characters will appear, and that there will be some highly thematic bonus games and free spins rounds that are based around aspects of the film.
One thing we do know is that this will be another machine that takes part in the DC Super Heroes Jackpot. This is a linked progressive jackpot system that can be found on all of the games that are based on these films (as well as some previous games based on DC properties), and it allows players a random chance of triggering any of the four different jackpots after any spin. About 1% of every bet goes towards funding these jackpots, and the grand prize is worth a minimum of £200,000, making it a very lucrative reward.
Back to Belle Reve
While there isn’t much in the way of concrete information for this machine just yet, there’s no doubt that there’s a huge built in fan base that will want to play Suicide Squad. Just as with all games based on comic book heroes, the characters included in this title are iconic and unforgettable. Even more so than most machines in this genre, however, this game takes a unique bent thanks to the fact that these aren’t heroes – they’re outcasts that are still managing to do heroic deeds, which is an interesting twist that we hope Playtech will find a fun way to incorporate into the gameplay. We’ll definitely be posting a full review of this game when it is released.
