Batman Begins Slot
There have been countless versions of the story of Batman, the vigilante hero of Gotham City. The DC comic book superhero has gone through numerous iterations, some dark, some campy, and nearly all memorable. One of the most recent is also regarded as one of the best: Christopher Nolan’s recent trilogy of films exploring the hero, which began in 2005 with the critically acclaimed Batman Begins.
Now, more than a decade later, this story is finally coming to the online casino world. Batman Begins by Playtech is an upcoming online slot that is part of a series of games based on films in the DC universe. While there aren’t many details available about this game just yet, we’re sure the machine will feature the same realistic, gritty tone as the film itself, as well as the same great jackpot prizes available in other titles in this series.
The League of Shadows
The Batman Begins video slot is a yet-to-be-released game that will be included at sites that feature software by Playtech. There aren’t any demos or promotional images available for this machine just yet, but we’re certain that this game will feature the same level of humanity and realism that are often missing from superhero movies. Plenty of clips from the film are certain to be included during gameplay and bonus rounds, which means you can expect to see plenty of images of stars like Christian Bale, Michael Caine and Katie Holmes.
One thing we can be certain of is that this machine will be fully available for players who want to enjoy a bet on their smartphone or tablet. Playtech creates all of their newest games in HTML5, ensuring compatibility with just about any device or operating system you might be using. The company is also usually pretty good about providing numerous betting options, and we expect low limit players to be accommodated given that the machine is based on a popular film. Hopefully, a play for free version will also be provided at most online casinos.
Lighting the Bat Signal
One of the things we’re most looking forward to in the Batman Begins video slot is just how well the developers are able to implement special features that play into the plot of the film and the general mythos of this iconic character. We have no information yet on the number of reels or paylines that will be used for the game layout, but we’re sure that characters like Bale’s Batman (and Bruce Wayne) will make plenty of appearances on the reels, as will Alfred (Caine), Ra’s Al Ghul (Ken Watanabe), and many others.
One game feature that we do have some information about is the DC Super Heroes Progressive Jackpot. While Playtech had already started this linked progressive system before their latest crop of DC-themed games was announced, the addition of these new titles should make these jackpots all the more lucrative. Players will have the opportunity to randomly trigger a game that will give them a shot at four different prizes, with the grand prize jackpot providing life-changing payouts for lucky gamblers.
Worthy of Wayne Manor
Widely considered one of the greatest superhero movies ever made, Batman Begins is the perfect source material for a great online slot machine. It still remains to be seen just how well elements from the film will be implemented into the final product, but given Playtech’s track record when working with major film and television properties in the past, we’re confident they’ll produce a product that satisfies both gamblers and fans of the movie. We’ll be back with a full review once a final version of this game becomes available.
